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.
I debunked doctored video before here.
Also, Chicago and Milwaukee are wonderful cities. If you ever traveled in the US, you would have known that.
Being a Russian troll, you don't.

You didn't debunk shit, halfwit.
Your time is up. Trump sending feds into Kenosha as we speak.
The entire country is done with your shit. Trump wins in a landslide, due in large part to you and your Che Guevara LARPing brainwashed college buddies.
Trump's reelection team and more than half the country thank you for your service.
Please continue to redpill the normies.

NPR Claims That Calling a Riot a “Riot” is Racist

His only point appears to be that because crowd control measures were also used in the 60s during the civil rights era, this means that using them today is racist, despite the fact that the clear majority of BLM protesters in Portland are white.

Police Declare Portland Protests A Riot But This Definition Could Be Rooted In Racism
https://www.npr.org/2020/08/27/906729976/police-declare-portland-prote
sts-a-riot-but-this-definition-could-be-rooted-in-r
"A riot is when six or more persons engage in tumultuous and violent conduct," Portland Police Bureau Deputy Chief Chris Davis recently explained in a video posted online. "Thereby intentionally or recklessly create a grave risk of causing public alarm." Davis said, before dispersing the crowd, officers provide warnings and give protesters time to leave. But that definition of a riot is subjective and the dispersal inevitably affects hundreds of non-violent protesters. "Ideally, those engaged in the event would follow the lawful orders given and peacefully leave and no force would be necessary during a dispersal."
Alarmed by the frequency and amount of tear gas being used, state lawmakers passed legislation during an emergency session in June to address racial justice and policing. They hoped to raise the bar on tear gas use by making it only acceptable to use during a declared riot. "We were hearing that people were getting caught in these tear gas deployments," said State Rep. Janelle Bynum, one of the bill sponsors. "And they felt like they didn't have any warning. They felt they were trapped."
The bill was signed into law on June 30. That evening, police declared a riot for the first time in a month and blanketed a North Portland neighborhood in tear gas. Between June 30 and Aug. 27, police have declared 20 riots.
"What I didn't expect was for the bar to be so low," said Bynum, who said the history of these laws are also relevant to the moment. "A lot of the riot and crowd control philosophy and statute was developed around the '60s and '70s when protests around some of the very same things ... rights for Black people. ... were taking place in the state and particularly in Portland," Bynum said.
On some nights, police have declared unlawful assemblies within minutes of protesters arriving.
"But then the riot part? Who knows," said Folasade Ogunfiditimi, a protester who's been coming out since the end of May. "Like a half-empty water bottle maybe? Somebody could walk on their property and they declare it a riot. It could be anything or nothing." Ogunfiditimi said she's been protesting because Black lives matter and policing, with its history as "slave catchers," is a fundamentally corrupt institution. And she said the way the police are treating protesters proves the demonstrators' point. She said on most nights they use excessive force and, just as the police spotlights got even brighter, she pointed and said it's like psychological warfare. "They're very finicky, very emotional," she said. "They show in their actions they don't care what they do."
I find this article to be very poorly written, meandering around the lack of evidence that the police are acting out of racism. And not noted in the NPR article is that there are plenty of white people caught up in 'riot' declarations.
One significant question imo is whether or not this is a local issue or if there are outside agitators. I think there's a quick way to determine that, which is simply to gather everyone up, and let the locals* (*those who can prove local residence) go (unless they've been definitively shown to be violent or destructive). And hold everyone else for 72 hours. And see what happens.

MSNBC prosecutor blows apart Kenosha gunman’s self-defense claims
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/msnbc-prosecutor-blows-apart-kenosha-
gunmans-self-defense-claims/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=5348&recip_id=28351&list_id=1
“His lawyers are setting up for a self-defense claim,” Aronberg said. “Keep in mind he was the one that put the night of violence in motion. He was the one that travelled across state lines as a 17-year-old, to possess a weapon he was not allowed to possess, to stand guard outside a used car lot that no one asked him to stand guard at.”
“So he was the initial aggressor, and under the initial aggressor doctrine, he’s not allowed self-defense unless he makes it clear he’s abandoning the fight or others come at him using excessive force, and according to videos doesn’t look like either of those claims hold water,” he continued. “Because the first person that he shot didn’t have a weapon. The second person he shot and killed came at him with a skateboard. The lawyers will say a guy wielding a skateboard could be dangerous. You tell that to a jury that Rittenhouse, who had an AR-15, was in reasonable fear of his life from a guy with a skateboard.”
“I think the first-degree murder charges here may need to be dropped down to second-degree murder or manslaughter because I don’t know if the elements are there,” Aronberg added. “But he could face 60 years in prison instead of life, so it’s still essentially life. Another thing we need to be concerned about, what kind of message does this send to young people, when you hold this guy up to be a hero. There’s hundreds of thousands of dollars being raised for his defense fund. Well, that encourages other vigilantes to go into conflict zones and possibly take other lives knowing they too could be a hero on the far right. That puts everyone at risk.”
You see, kids, fascism is an ideology of violence. There are no peaceful Nazis.

^ Lies, lies.
Hispanic non-white supremacist Kyle who works in Kenosha was out there all day and got the gun from a friend's house.
Kyle, with the help of the guy who defended CNN's highest paid contributor Nick Sandmann, beats all charges and in a fit of rage racist Second goes and lights another black owned business on fire.

But IMHO that idea would fall flat on a courtroom.
It all depends on what happened in that first altercation, which TBH I haven't researched.
As far as the other two shootings ... I think they were perfectly justified.
After all, we saw in Portland what happens if you don't resist: You get kicked into unconsciousness. We also saw what happens if you wear the wrong hat: you get shot and killed. With that in the back of my mind if I were being chased by an angry mob, I would reach for any weapon available ... a stick, a gun, a hand grenade ... to defend myself.

He's going to get off without a slap on the wrist.
What a hassle to have to deal with the court system though.
