Two Killed During Riots In Wisconsin As Democrat Governor Refuses Federal Assistance
The Federalist ^ | August 26, 2020 | M.D. Kittle

Despite the governor's declaration, rioters continued Tuesday night to burn down the Midwestern state’s modestly sized cities and attack local residents, their homes, and businesses.


MADISON — It took Gov. Tony Evers two days to wake up and proclaim a “State of Emergency” exists in Wisconsin. Tuesday, after he issued the declaration, police say three people were shot and two killed during ongoing rioting in Wisconsin streets.

In his emergency declaration, the Democrat invoked the name of Minnesotan George Floyd and plugged a legislative special session to pass bills on “equity and justice.” While desperately clinging to the notion that the Black Lives Matter protests that have swept through Wisconsin and the nation are “mostly peaceful,” even Evers smelled the smoke from Kenosha and Madison.

Despite his declaration, rioters continued Tuesday night to burn down the Midwestern state’s modestly sized cities and attack local residents, their homes, and businesses.

The two killed were marxist protesters (from the best I can tell from twitter and news reports).

And the funny thing about watching these videos.

The first thing the marxists do when being shot at while looting, burning or conducting violence...

“Call the police!”

I assume the head shot and chest shot are dead.
The guy who got shot in the arm looked not so well.
A bunch of “meat” missing from his arm.
I figure he’s disabled in that arm, or loses the arm.

I cannot legally say what needs to happen to that governor. But, I hope it happens.

I hope he bled out on the way to the hospital.

The deserve what they get when they loot. I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

Unlikely. I read that the hospital was just across the way from the shootings.
But we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
There’s always MRSA and C-Diff...

Maybe they thought Fargo, the movie, was shot in Wisconsin. We aren’t dealing with the Honor students, here.

I wouldn’t want federal assistance either. All they would do is stand around and do nothing substantive about quelling the situation.

He shall be known henceforth as Lefty, and not primarily for his political views.

And in case you missed it he was clearly holding a pistol.

That POS Gov Evers has blood on his hands. The WI voters who elected this Dem hack share in his disgrace.

Only two reasons to turn down federal help:

1. Deny Trump credit for ending the riots.
2. Keep the riots going and blame them on Trump.

By equity and justice, Evers means, inequity and injustice, sexism, and racism.

Even funnier when you throw in their self-avowed anarchy. Getting a taste of citizen policing ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. They want the sanctioned, leftist-State-controlled police. For now, at least. Once they’re defunded, they can be replaced with sympathetic goons. Then they can get serious about busting “fascist” skulls.

Doing little to nothing to stop the riots in their cities, Democrat/Left governors and mayors really must think this is a “winning tactic” to swing their states to Biden in November .... their “contribution” to the objective of the America/American-hating Democrat/Left Party.
