‘We’ll burn your store down too’: Kenosha rioters show no remorse when confronted over razing local business(VIDEO)

Despite the deployment of National Guard troops to quell unrest, violence continued overnight in Kenosha, Wisconsin, with some desperate citizens forced to arm themselves and take matters into their own hands to defend the city.

Police deployed non-lethal munitions to disperse the crowds of protesters and looters late on Monday and into the early hours of Tuesday, in the second consecutive night of rioting since the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake during an incident on Sunday.

Rioters have brandished guns in the open for the second night in a row, but it wasn't only the rioters and police that took to the streets heavily armed: several citizens decided to make a stand and defend local businesses from looters, footage shared on social purports to show.

Some residents were harassed by the crowd for protecting a local business (not their own business)“We’re out here trying to protect residents, we’re trying to protect the innocent people and we’re trying to protect the businesses of the citizens out here...” pic.twitter.com/1uNWHM6kNl

Demonstrators ignored a citywide curfew and at one point faced down police armored personnel carriers and tear gas, while enacting an apparent scorched Earth policy of torching local businesses indiscriminately, much to the dismay of legitimate protesters and local residents.

One resident, having apparently had enough, patrolled the streets in his pick up truck, engaging with the rioters and pleading for them to take their issues out on the police but spare local businesses.

“Just because you people are too scared to go deal with the cops... take your issues up with them…” the man can be heard pleading.

His efforts were seemingly in vain, however, as one of the alleged “protesters” called out the name of the do-gooder's business, written on the side of his truck, and gleefully proclaimed, “We'll burn your store down too!”

Kenosha is the latest flashpoint of racially charged, anti-police violence to sweep the US, with tensions having already erupted in many cities, including Seattle and Portland, following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in May.

Scanning up and down the website, no mention of the furniture store, car dealership, and other businesses torched in Kenosha?

I'm sure the people of Kenosha are wondering what happened to coverage of their riots!

REAVERBOT:People are pissed, and rightfully so.

Yes. That's why Trump was elected. And more and more people are getting pissed off at the rioters, as opposed to getting pissed off with them.



Yanno, rioting, burning and looting ... not the best way to make allies and converts, DEFINITELY not the way to reform the economy!

It looks like an entirely different scene than they've been saying it was for months now. I honestly can't believe that YouTube hasn't pulled it entirely from the site and has chosen only to suppress it in the search results and keep it off the Trending page.

It's amazing that it's got over 4.5 million views. But even though that sounds like a lot, it really isn't when you consider how many people in our country alone have seen heavily edited versions of the video on the news since it happened.

No, it changes nothing, but keep blaming the victim.

That's what fascists do.

Keep doing free volunteer work for Trump's campaign, retard.

You're doing a fine job.


We Trump voters thank you in advance. Excellent work.

So, ummm, black guy with a knife tries to get away from cops, they keep telling him to stop, and resists arrest.
Why does anybody imagine black folks will be upset for this Blake dude not acting white and abiding laws, police?

For those who didn't know, Kenosha County is essentially a suburb of both Chicago and Milwaukee, the 2 biggest shitholes on Lake Michigan shores.

Rumor had it 6ix once lived there, or nearby.
