Two Dead in Multiple Overnight Shootings Amid Kenosha Antifa and BLM Riots
2020-08-26
PJ Media
Three people were shot overnight in Kenosha, Wisc., after violence erupted during the third straight night of rioting and looting in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Two of those shot have died, according to the City of Kenosha Police Department, and a third was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

...Earlier in the day police had ordered an 8 p.m. curfew.

Shots could be heard ringing out shortly after midnight local time.

Drew Hernandez captured the video of the aftermath of the shooting.



Antifa and BLM comrades tended to the man who had been shot, yelling, "Call the police, call the police!"
ROTFLMAO
...Julio Rosas of our sister site Townhall captured video of what appears to be the second shooting. Rifle shots could be heard ringing out.

Rosas wrote,
    "Multiple gunshots are fired after people chased a guy with a rifle. Rifle dude tripped and fell. He fired his gun at a guy who jumped on top of him.

    Here’s video of the man’s wounds, I recorded him being shot in Kenosha. His right arm is badly damaged.

...Elijah Schaffer, who has been covering the antifa and BLM riots around the country, reports from the scene that someone defending the property did the shooting.

#16  If the coroner's report goes out saying definitely that George Floyd died of fentanyl poisoning, there will be even more riots.

#15  This is now "small unit' (Partisan?) warfare now, they just don't have heavy weapons in quantity yet. (Approaching the Irgun or LEHI stage in Isreal 1947...)

Peaceful protest, not in any way, shape or form.

#14  Traditionally law enforcement in America has relied on mostly honest populace who trust the system to usually deliver justice for everyone. That paradigm is rapidly breaking down. As it does, there won’t be enough cops to keep the lid on and self defense and vigilantes will become more the norm. Political expediency increasingly overrides the truth. It took 90 days but the coroner ruled George Floyd had fatal level of fentanyl poisoning so the death by asphyxiation should change the charges significantly. Odds on that being reported on CNN?

#13  The arrest is straight from the anarcho-tyranny playbook.

#11  Don't see him convicted for 1st degree. He was on the ground being beaten with a skateboard before he shot the assailant.

Where is the arrest of the guy that kicked him in the face just before skateboard guy attacked him?

#10  They arrested the kid they mobbed and charged him with 1st degree murder. Maybe the militia should riot and kill 50 antifa/blm until they release him.

#9  After watching the live stream last night I can promise you the Democratic Party is now deeply Marxist/Socialist, supported by social media Giants, directing the Bolshevic revolution to burn down Capitalist America's towns, even if it means these young people must go in and burn down their parents businesses and homes.

#7  I watched the riots live on a YouTube stream last night. The rioters had the entire law enforcement prrsonel and as many as 6 bear cats occupied at the courthouse trying to protect it from a large mob intent on looting and burning the facility. The videographer said he went the mob and learned that 80% of them were from out of town.

This was to tie up the police and national guard so that the more violent elements could be free to burn other pre-determined business targets in the town, as you can hear other rioters converging on those targets saying we are headed over to this location now.

This means the only local defensive elements left to guard the targets were individual citizens about to be swarmed.

This is a highly, well coordinated domestic, violent, militant effort.

Who is in charge of these mobs on the national level?
