Corporate Media Didn’t Report What It’s Really Like In Kenosha, Wisconsin, So I Will
The Federalist ^ | Aug. 30, 2020 | Evita Duffy

The scene on Tuesday night was something I had only seen in photos of war-torn countries. Men and women stood with baseball bats, hand-guns, semi-automatic rifles, and shotguns in front of their businesses and homes.

Kenosha, Wisconsin is situated in the southern part of the state, about an hour and a half from Chicago, and has a population of approximately 100,000. Republican Rep. Bryan Steil, who represents Kenosha in Wisconsin’s First Congressional district, told The Federalist the city “is like a lot of cities in Wisconsin.” Steil says Kenosha is “family-centered” and “hard-working.”

Kenosha became a very different place after police shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times. Subsequent video footage showed that Blake was armed with a knife and had been wrestling with officers, threw off a Taser, and was disregarding police commands to stop after they were called to address a domestic violence complaint.

Looks like the next time Antifa/BLM comes out in Kenosha they're going to get a hot reception. May the patriots' aims be straight and true, leaving plenty of dead.

This is the transition into the urban areas. The next will be smaller towns till they are into the rural areas.

Question is this. Where do we want to fight them? Wait till they get to your town/area?

By now, anytime there is even a hint of trouble coming, I should think car dealerships and other high-value targets would move their goods offsite.

I dare pantifa to come to my rural area. Everyone owns guns, and many of them shoot whenever the weather is decent. Less so, lately, with ammo drying up.

Trump signs are everywhere.

Corporate Media is Disney, Comcast, ATT

ATT is the nation’s #1 telecom provider
Comcast is the nation’s #3 telecom provider

Oh they will show up. You noted the assholes showed up at the Sturgis bike rally?

Get yourselves organized to help each other. Here, in this neighborhood in the desert, we have a loose organization. The zones are color coded. So if green zone texts Green, we know where to get to.

That is what needs to happen. Set up road blocks and check points and get to stopping these SOBs from getting into those places.

I know not everyone here believes me, but the vast MAJORITY of Wisconsinites ARE Conservative.

You only hear reports about the lunatic Socialist Democrat antics in Madison, Milwaukee and up where Wisconsin meets Minnesota near the Twin Cities.

And, FWIW, NO ONE in Wisconsin calls any part of their town/city ‘uptown!’ If it’s in the center of town, or the business district, it’s ‘Downtown.’

Not sure where the author got THAT phrase from.

The media are now active conspirators to assure more violence and destruction. How many attacks are now motivated by the pictures they show and don’t show?

Sadly I think that is what it is going to take to stop this nonsense - more than a few “protester” bodies. Sure, right now it is all fun and games. These punks get to play revolutionary, act up and act out. Maybe even score a little merch by looting. The weak and complicit democrats allowing, even encouraging this are just setting them up. Eventually these spoiled children are going to come up against business owners and neighborhoods not ready to be the next playground. They are going to start dropping them, wholesale. After a couple of incidents like that, there will suddenly be a wave of pushback. At that point the leftists are going to have to retreat, cease and desist...or go all in and try to incite a guerrilla war.

Have your plan engrained in your mind. Know your safe areas. Train your family. Retreat to a defendable position, stand your ground but protect your back. Do not fall down, submit or turn your back, you will be destroyed. These are not rational human beings to be reasoned with, they are the totalitarian monsters we have discussed here for over twenty years here to execute and destroy you and everything you love.

They believe it is “their time”. Disappoint them.

Blackout plates are illegal everywhere. They should stop and impound any vehicle with them, and prosecute the driver for using them.

The Kenosha police chief was on the news, he referred to the BLM arsonists as peaceful protesters. Says Rittenhouse had no business being there. While his officers hid behind layers of armor a teenager took the trash out for them!

“The overwhelming consensus among Kenoshans is that violent rioters did not come from their city. ‘Kenosha locals did not do this to their town, man!’ said Jason, who came to Kenosha to check on his family.”

“Alvin was with his young daughter, Kaya, on Wednesday morning after visiting and shedding ‘some tears’ with the son of a shop owner whose business was destroyed. ‘All this destruction did not come from Kenosha,’ he said, ‘People came in here and did this.’”

*SNIP*

“I tried asking more questions of the individuals who were with him, but they refused to engage because I wasn’t wearing a mask, even though we were six feet apart and outdoors, perhaps another indication that the individuals were not native Kenoshans, or even Wisconsinites. Not one Kenoshan I interviewed was wearing a mask. Outside of big liberal cities, where virus counts are extremely low, large numbers of Wisconsin citizens have been unreceptive to Evers’ mask mandate. In fact, many county sheriffs have refused to enforce it.”

*SNIP*

“This could be very bad politically for Democrats in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state in the 2020 presidential election. Many Wisconsinites blame Democrat Evers for allowing a historic industrial Wisconsin city to go up in flames.”

“For better or worse, Democrats have tied themselves politically to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization. Joe Biden, who has not been to Wisconsin in 670 days, finally but weakly denounced violent rioting, although he refused to explicitly condemn Antifa or BLM.”

You can take ALL of the above to the bank!

I have ‘relatives’, near Madison .. the radicals hotspot... of wine and cheese... Now, these relatives are not ‘natural’ born to Wisconsin, but, the draw of Madison, University ‘culture’ was a big draw for relocation... I get to hear, that it is the so called ‘educated’, intellectuals are all for and about ‘marxist’ notions and ideas .. they are so above the rest of ‘hick’ America.

When the history of what has unfolded gets accurately recorded, America is going to find out that a replay of Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s set up shop right here from college to college, and university to university... lies and distortion that cost the parents/students more than a typical American house to get a diploma ...

How else did a Wisconsin superintendent get elected governor? Public education has been corrupted from the bottom up and top down.
