KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Two people were shot to death and another was wounded during a third night of protests in Kenosha over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, and authorities Wednesday hunted for a possible vigilante seen on cellphone video opening fire in the middle of the street with a rifle.
“They’re a militia,” Beth said. “They’re like a vigilante group.”
So hired by Bill Barr or dump?
police shot his son “seven times, seven times, like he didn’t matter.”
“But my son matters. He’s a human being and he matters,” he said.
Shooting someone once is bad enough, seven times is brutal and uncalled for!
“They’re a militia,” Beth said. “They’re like a vigilante group.”
Cellphone video of at least two of the shootings that was posted online shows what appears to be a white man with a semi-automatic rifle jogging down the middle of a street as a crowd and some police officers follow him. Someone in the crowd can be heard asking “What did he do?” and another person responds that the man had shot someone.
White militia or not, there is no place for private army in our streets because they amplify the chaos and pose a danger to protesters, more so if they start shooting at them!
These vigilante groups have only grown since Clinton’s presidency. A President Biden will designate them as domestic terrorists as they deserve. They will have to go to ground somewhat. But overall it’s hard to see this trend reversing.
Happy Hump Day!
So a white dude is allowed to shoot people actively and the cops don’t take him out, because they’re too busy gassing protesters…
K…
These are not vigilantes.
They’re murderers.
And they’re trying to get a speaking spot at the Trump Re-nomination Convention.
Vigilantes gunning down protesters. We’re past saying what the inflammatory rhetoric will lead to. We’re at the place it led to.
The police allowed the vigilante to get away after he killed two and wounded a third. I guess that is because he is white and to the local police all white lives matter. Kenosha, Wisconsin is one evil little city.
Hey, if the Kenosha cops were worth a shit, we wouldn’t be where we are.
Can someone explain how burning down a dress shop started by an Indian immigrant furthers the cause of racial justice?
Cops rushing by an armed murderer, while innocent people point and scream that he’s an active shooter, to get to where the unarmed Black protesters are is just peak law enforcement.
“But if you defund the police, who will you call if there’s a killer on the loose?!”
The way this reads they went to the victims. If someone shot me that’s what I’d want. Save my life and get the dude later. There’s a clear picture of him, he’ll be arrested and charged with murder.
What are armed cops with no medical training going to do for you? How about sending paramedics to the wounded and save the guns for the guy running around with an AR-15 shooting innocent people? But if your point is that in an active shooter situation the cops are useless in figuring out who to go after in after they’ve allowed armed Nazis to freely roam around to the point that they have no idea who an active shooter might be, then I guess we’re in agreement.
Trump’s race war has begun. It’s only going to get worse. I fully expect white militia groups shooting up Black neighborhoods between now and Election Day, and especially on Election Day.
The way the story read the shooter ran with his rifle in hand to and through the police. Instead of stopping a man with a rifle, they advanced on the crowd. Either they were protecting him or they had no situational awareness.
“He said that investigators had reviewed footage of what happened and that he was confident a man would be arrested soon.”
Okay great but…
“The man puts up his hands and walks toward the squad cars, with someone in the crowd yelling at police that the man had just shot someone, but several of the cars drive past him toward the people who had been shot.”
How the fuck does this happen? Apparently the white guy with a gun was totally invisible to police.
The headline is incorrect. Please fix it. Blake is still alive.
That’s it! And that’s exactly what happened to Jacob Blake, right? He stopped to break up a fight between two white women but the cop who tried to murder him just zeroed in on the Black man, ignoring the actual violent perpetrators. It’s like they can’t even see.
So ONE MORE TIME the ‘thugs’ are not the protesters but a self proclaimed ‘militia’ group…uh huh. However, that is not what we’ll ‘hear’ at the RNC or in Donnie’s tweets.
Start saving some money, you may need to purchase some equipment, if Trump manages to steal the election he will unleash these “militias” on us. Just like Chavez and other crackpot dictators.
