    If you watched the video, you see the protesters provoking the man, who then brandished and surrendered to police in a calm and accepting manner. Good for him. The punk who started the issue dropped to his knees the moment he pulled the gun.

    Maybe (probably not, but maybe) he'll think twice before starting crap with a stranger again.

    As expected the majority of the looters, arsonists and rioters are from out of town...

    Forty-four different cities: Majority of people arrested during Kenosha protests from out of town
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...sted-during-kenosha-protests-from-out-of-town

    A majority of the people who were arrested last week in Kenosha, Wisconsin, were from out of town.


    The Kenosha Police Department said in a statement Sunday that officers arrested 175 people during a week of civil unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake, and 102 of those people taken into custody listed addresses outside of Kenosha.


    Arrest numbers include people from 44 different cities, the police department said. Sixty-nine people were arrested for curfew violations, and 34 more were arrested for curfew violations in addition to other charges "ranging from carrying concealed weapons, burglary and possession of controlled substances," the department added.

    Protests and riots began in the city of roughly 100,000 after Blake, a 29-year-old black man, was grievously injured on Aug. 23 during an arrest in Kenosha. A viral video showed him getting shot by an officer, later identified as Rusten Sheskey, when he started to reach inside his car.

    Blake told officers he had a knife in his car, which investigators found on the driver's side floorboard of his vehicle. His three children were in the car at the time of the shooting. Blake's family says he is now paralyzed from the waist down.

    Prior to the shooting, Blake had been accused of breaking into a woman's home and sexually assaulting her before stealing her vehicle on May 3, according to a criminal complaint. The charges against him are still pending despite his condition.

    Wisconsin authorities are investigating the shooting of Blake and the FBI is conducting a civil rights inquiry. Sheskey and the other officers involved in the Blake incident have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

    The violence in Kenosha reached a crescendo Tuesday night when two people were fatally shot and another was injured. The alleged gunman, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, has been arrested and charged in the shooting. His lawyers claim he was acting in self-defense.

    President Trump is expected to visit with law enforcement in Kenosha on Tuesday. He also plans to survey the damage from the riots.

    Wisconsin Gov. Tony Ever wrote to Trump over the weekend asking to reconsider the trip, saying, "I, along with other community leaders who have reached out, are concerned about what your presence will mean for Kenosha and our state. I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together."

  3. Trump claiming that Biden would end fracking is considered to be an attack on Biden these days. In fact, Biden is the one who has been saying he would stop it. He said so as clear as day in the debate in March. His supporters tried to clean it up later by saying he only meant on public lands. Ahhh, okay. Don't listen to Joe. Listen to his handlers cleaned up version. Now Joe is trying to run around and get election regulators to pull Trump's ads saying he would stop fracking because, once again, OrangeManBad liar. No. Joe just doesnt like what Joe said now that he finds that it is problematic out on the trail. Trump makes some wild claims and goes off the reservation fairly regularly, but this is not one of them.

    During a debate in March, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said, “I’m talking about stopping fracking as soon as we possibly can. I’m talking about telling the fossil fuel industry that they are going to stop destroying this planet — no ifs, buts and maybes about it.”

    “So am I,” said Mr. Biden, adding: “No more — no new fracking.”

    Considering how a "majority" of these "looters" are likely protesters arrested for "failing to disperse" and carrying weed and water bottles, nice spin.

    Sixty-nine people were arrested for curfew violations, and 34 more were arrested for curfew violationsin addition to other charges "ranging from carrying concealed weapons, burglary and possession of controlled substances," the department added.

    Why does Biden think that jerking off is the cause of the violent rioting?

    More updates from the attorneys for Kyle Rittenhouse...

    Attorney Says Kyle Rittenhouse Had Firearm in Wisconsin Legally: ‘Kyle Had Every Right’
    https://www.mediaite.com/news/attor...rm-in-wisconsin-legally-kyle-had-every-right/

    The 17-year-old charged for his role in a shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin was carrying a legal firearm at the time of the incident, his attorney said in an interview.

    “Wisconsin is an open carry state,” Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorney, John Pierce, said in an interview with SiriusXM’s Joel Pollak, the host of Breitbart News Sunday. “You’ve seen the video of what was going on in that city. It was a war zone, and Kyle had every right — just as much a right — to be there as the people that were trying to burn down that city, and he was attempting to protect property and attempting to be there to provide medical aid.”

    “Every person that has any sense at all is going to take a weapon to that location,” he added. “It was a legal weapon… It did not cross state lines. That charge is incorrect as a matter of law in Wisconsin. Actually, that weapon can be possessed by anyone 16 years or older.”

    Rittenhouse was carrying a firearm in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when three men were shot the evening of August 25. He was charged Wednesday with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, in addition to charges related to carrying a weapon across state lines.

    Wisconsin statute prohibits children younger than 14 from “possession of control” of “any firearm” unless they are accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older who has been designated by a parent or guardian. The state’s regulations governing those aged 15 and older vary widely depending on the type of gun being used and on whether the user is engaged in activity defined as hunting or training.

    Pierce said Rittenhouse had been attempting to put out a fire when the confrontation that led to the shooting began. “Kenosha was burning, and he took a rifle so that he could protect himself if he needed to — and to protect property and to protect others,” he said. “This is one hundred percent self-defense. It’s not even close. Kyle was actually attempting to put out a dumpster fire that the rioters had set.

    “The rioters got enraged by that,” Pierce added. “Kyle actually attempted to retreat. He was chased down by attackers that were repeatedly stating that he should be killed. They came at him lightning-fast and attempted to begin striking him and wrestling with this rifle with an intent to kill. He had no choice but to fire his weapon and protect himself.”

    Rittenhouse is being held at a juvenile facility in Vernon Hills, Illinois, until authorities agree to an extradition request by Wisconsin. His next hearing has been set for September 25.

    Why would I care about what some random I've never heard of thinks? I don't form my opinions around those of others' like some sheep.

    You never heard of Kamala Harris' former boyfriend.... after this has been brought up endlessly in politics.

    You won't even listen to other fellow Democrats? Your head must really be buried in a hole.

    He hasn't heard of Willie because, in his defense, Willie isn't mentioned a lot in the DNC email chains that drive his conversations.
