Smoke billowed over central Kenosha after police in riot gear clashed with protesters who defied a dusk-to-dawn curfew on Monday night and into Tuesday morning, blocks away from where police gunned down Jacob Blake on Sunday.
The shooting occurred three months after the death of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis who was pinned to the street under the knee of a white police officer, sparking nationwide protests against police brutality and racism in the United States.Police in Portland, Oregon, the scene of weeks of protests that have sometimes turned violent, declared a riot late on Monday and arrested many demonstrators after fires were lit at the offices of the police association.
Fires destroyed much of the Black business district, Bennett said, adding that the instigators she saw were white. Social media images showed both white and Black agitators. Black men swinging baseball bats broke traffic signals and street lamps. White and Black men with bats bashed in the headlights and windshields of a row of cars.
One large group of protesters skirmished in front of the courthouse with sheriff’s deputies firing tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd. Demonstrators hurled water bottles and firecrackers at the police.
As long as George Soros lives riots, death, and arson will continue.
This is how Democrats thank the people that elected them . They let white marxist punks run wild burning businesses and affordable housing with people sleeping inside ! Donald Trump has offered all the help needed to stop this but Democrats think it helps them politically . Sick
And still nothing is getting better with the so call PEACEFUL PROTEST 😄, Is like watching a stubborn cry baby refuse to calm down because he ain't getting what he wants.
Was there a gun in the car or not...We all need to know. Why won't the Attorney General tell us, or do they actually WANT the riots! Apparently he had a knife at the time and in the past had threatened others with a gun.
It’s time to call this what it is....Intentional. Police Unions are collaborating with Trump to create Law&Order narrative by killing Blacks which will trigger protests-riots. BLM
Report this
Those black businesses must’ve been racist too.
To everyone saying “they’re white so they’re not BLM:” That is a false argument. BLM has spread WAY beyond the black community. You don’t get to claim others’ membership/support when they do things you like then deny when they do things you don’t. It doesn’t work like that.
These riots do nothing except breed violence & destruction. They dont care if these were minority owned businesses, or how it’ll hurt the people living in these communities, they burn everything down indiscriminately. This is the result of Mob Mentality.
Criminal activity by criminals
Setting fires and tearing down businesses is no way to honor a good man who has been unjustly treated. That makes you no better than that police officer.
Anyone that supports this supports a wanted felon and pedophile.
White supremacists at work
You misspelled BLM Terrorist.
Lol
Peacefulness intensifies....
BLM? ANTIFA? These people aren't helping the Black and poor Americans, they are punishing them!
Black lives do not matter to these mostly white anarchist marxist kids
Look at that, once again BLM and Antifa showing the world they are racist as hell. Unbelievable, I wonder how long it will be before everyone putting up with this decides enough is enough.
I'm sorry as angry as this shooting makes me THIS ISN'T THE WAY
I thought Black Live Matters - isn't that what they were chanting in the street or is it only black criminal lives that matter? Seems Democrats are for lawlessness, so that answers my question. Seems they only march for black lives committing crimes that get hurt or killed.
Are Antifa white supremacists?
But wait the NYT said this was a peaceful protest.
In order to avenge a black person, they torch a black business district. Makes no sense.
And the black man was a fugitive criminal resisting the arrest. A criminal that can hurt law abiding citizens. Cops did the correct thing. Those arsonists are on the side of the criminals. BLM bank accounts should be confiscated to pay for reparations.
Face it...we are witnessing a stupid people's revolution. The dumb people are rising up because well...they can't overcome it.
'We didn’t do anything to anybody. Why did we deserve it?,” says a small business owner in Kenosha after his business was burned down by rioters in the city.
Arsonist?!?!?!?!? Really? Your not going to call them out? BLM did this shit.
*Black man who resisted arrest and reached into his car*
That's because most of these domestic terrorists are virtually brain dead. But thankfully there are still a few cops out there willing to do their job. They put a violent felon down, as they should.
Because a felon wanted for the rape of a minor was resisting arrest.
“... torched much of the Black business district...” Evil and stupid make a deadly combination.
Any idea why BLM thugs are burning out black businesses?
you meant to say that riots got triggered after a convict with arrest warrant fought police and tried to flee in his car got shot? the convict was black man so this is why the rioting (many white convicts that fight police get murdered as well but no one is rioting). MAGA2020
What a bunch of idiots
Your forgot to mention the black man that was shot was a violent criminal that was arrested in 2015 for illegal/intoxicated carry of a firearm and had an active warrant for RAPE, DOMESTIC ASSAULT, TRESPASS... Other than that he seemed nice🤦🏻♂️
You mean Biden supporters?
Keep fighting the good fight guys they are gonna continue to try to shit on blm like they did the black panthers eventually those responsible will be handled but know blm isnt apart of it. But don't let them tarnish the blm movement and turn it into something else.
So black livelihoods don’t matter. 🙄
White libs=Anita and blm supported by the dems and hollywood
Arsonists? Don't you mean BLM thugs?
🤣🤣🤣 fucking clowns

BLM only burns small businesses, acting on behalf of their corporate donors.
Torched most of the Black business District! And Black protesters did this?
I dont think Black lives actually matter to BLM
it was not a wounding, it was attempted murder, stop covering for them. call it what it is. attempted. murder.
A known criminal, 'wanted' and resisting arrest...He put his own kids at risk. They were NOT triggered. They don't even care. BLM and Antifa are criminals. This is what criminals do when they are allowed to.
Arsonist or police in disguise?
BLM supports pedophiles
Blacks burning down black businesses with the help of liberal white kids. What a time to be alive.
HELP! I left a piece of apple pie out on the table in the garden and now the wasps are swarming around it.
Greg_Phancenek
Its AntifaDomesticTerrorists
Peaceful has a new meaning
'Peaceful protestors'
Wait what? Are we actually calling 'mostly peaceful protesters' by their proper noun now?
The BLACK Business District ......SMFH
Black lives matters movement has killed and destroyed more black lives than police have done.
BlackLivesMatter tho. Shot in back after fighting cops and resisting arrest. Shot in back because reaching in car
tHeY hAvE iNsUrAnCE
Democratic Biden supporters destroying cities
I can’t believe Proud Boys would do this
Police shoot unarmed man in back -- city burns down. Lose-lose situation right now in Amerika.
And the Governor of Wisconsin is....a Democrat.
The guy shot in the back was holding a Knife, had Warrant out for him, Resisted Arrest, was told NOT to get in the Vehicle, a record of Sexual Abuse in July and Domestic abuse. Police had no idea what was in his car and told him Multiple Times not to resist arrest. Wait for facts
BLMmarxistTerrorists and AntifaTerrorists are burning down Kenosha. SAY THEIR NAMES.☠️‼️☠️‼️
How does this help Blklivesmatter?
The “B”lack business district. Because now we capitalize Black, but not white, yellow, or red.
BlackLivesMatter destroys black-owned businesses....why? LawAndOrder Kenosha
Arsonists my a$$! Those are Black Live Matters riots!
Who’s allowing this? Oh, a Democrat, Tony Evers.
Hopefully everyone is intelligent enough to realize it’s not BLM burning down Black businesses. Since June, we’ve known that white supremacists insight violence and damage property.
Rioters! Rioters set several businesses on fire!
It had zero to do with the villent felon getting shot for not dropping a deadly weapin. That is a PRETEXT. This is paid, organized terrorism by antifa/BLM. Get your story straight. BLACK businesses were destroyed just like they did in Minneapolis. Lying is complicity
Thank you for not calling them “protestors.”
OcrazioCornPop
Best way to get back at these fools is to just vote Republican down the ballot in November. Teach the Dems the lesson of not playing with fire (embracing antifa), or you'll get burned
Lock up all these Animals
'...Black man shot in the back by police as his three young sons looked on.' Reuters is not a news organization. They are liars, racists, and traitors to our country.
We need to find out who is setting the fires. My guess is that it’s not who is being reported.
Or anarchist... 🤔
MF, this has been going on in various Democrats cities: Chicago, Portland, Seatle, NYC, Minneapolis and now Kenosha. All and more have been under assault of the BurnLootMurder and AntifaTerrorists yet when realDonaldTrump called them thugs you called for his banning.
MattWalshBlog TELL THE WHOLE STORY , if you can’t go back to publishing Falwell texts bc that’s the most substantive story you’ve published in years.
Live footage
New footage shows Jacob Blake brawling with cops before being shot. The Kenosha man, who survived, has a criminal history that includes assaulting police, resisting arrest, domestic abuse, a felony sex crime & more. There is a warrant for his arrest. Thug. BLMTerrrorists
That is what BLM is - a domestic terrorist group who doesn't give a shit about black lives. They have proven this innumerable times. Only the MSM and the literally insane can't understand this reality.
Hilarious
✊👊🏿✊👊🏿✊
Makes sense
Biden:
seadognw shisanlanlan blm又去烧黑人小企业主的店了😂
MattWalshBlog How long before the mob makes its way to the lakefront and torches the boats at the yacht club? Or burns people up in their beds? Or totally burns Kenosha to the ground? How long before they march down my street? Or yours?
Ok POC I get there was an injustice. But does it help your cause if you burn down black businesses?
These cities will suffer twice; once now and again when businesses and decent people move away. Then the tax revenues will decline, causing further erosion of the cities, until nothing worth saving is left. Baltimore and Detroit have experienced it; Seattle and Portland are next.
You literally cannot make this crazy shit up. Shame on every single democrat allowing this to happen. That not only includes liberal elected officials, that also includes you democrat voters reading this tweet. BLMBurnLootMurder BLMDomesticTerrorists BLMAntifaTerroristsThugs
Another shooting in a Democrat run city. Weird.
Burn Loot Murder
BHappy_4Now Section 8 dummies burning down their own neighborhoods. Did you see the educated Black Americans last night. Far more where that comes from. Intelligent blacks vs Section 8 drop outs
“Mostly peaceful”
One night last week, I had the strangest dream. A dimmed lamp post set my neighborhood on fire. The flame brought light into my bedroom showing my ashy knees. In a fury, I stood up And realized I was on fire while the cuckoo clock stared stunned. Rudel Simon-Poet
Our country would be better off if BLM and antifa didn’t exist
These are 99% progressive white liberals with a messiah-complex thinking they're gonna 'save' the Black family by torching the country.
Not just any black man. A violent rapist fugitive reaching into his car when being arrested. Get it right...
I thought the governor called in the National Guard.
Some people dont know the meaning of protest. There is a difference between riot and protest.
BLM loves Black Lives, amirite 🙄
protests doesn’t help to burn down your own city, trouble makers. Keep it reasonable for everyone’s sake. BlackLivesMatter BlackTwitter
If Biden becomes President hatred towards whites will increase .
BurnLootMurder
I will never ever understand how people get it into their heads to protest racial injustice by torching minority owned businesses and minority neighborhoods.
Because torching black-owned businesses really helps in the fight against systemic racism. /s
MattWalshBlog Tell me again how black lives matter after these thugs burned down the black business district.
Unrest? That's a riot.
BLMDomesticTerrorists DemocratMob
Nothing says supporting black lives by.......destroying black lives?
BLM are f...ing terrorists!
Destroying property accomplishes nothing and sets back the BlackLivesMatter movement. It gives fuel to the Republican assertions that protestors are just troublemakers w/ only a violent agenda. Their outcries must be heard with peaceful demonstrations and goodtrouble, not this.
Arsonists or KKK infiltrating once again another city devastated by injustice
Ah yes, torching the black business district to show how much you care about black people. Makes sense!
Stupidos
White supremacists at work! Fires destroyed much of the Black business district, Bennett said, adding that the instigators she saw were white. 'It's people from out of town doing this”.
MattWalshBlog *Democrats set several building ablaze and torched much of the black business district...
They seem like nice balanced people
I’m not sure this comports with the slogan black lives matter
Idiots
Wisconsin goes Trump.
They're shooting themselves in the foot.
America needs to Rethink, Reflect and Amend a lot. Is this Truly the New/Real face of America!?
The officer shot someone,then just fight back ,kill the officer .but fire building for what?
That's what you call...additional scalp for not finishing the work..!
MattWalshBlog Google needs to update their information.
They're Arsonists now?
Peaceful protest™️
Antifa communist have taken over the BLM movement.
Black Lives...don’t Matter then?
AmericansForTrump
I hardly see any black people participating in BLM rioting and destruction. A bunch of spoiled ass white kids that have been radicalized into a cult. This is the left’s religion now. Reminds me of the super moralistic bible thumpers minus any morals.
MattWalshBlog “They shot another black man! Let’s burn some $&&!!” Great idea, guys! Burn down your whole city! That will accomplish a LOT. Destroying the livelihoods of others who had nothing to do with this, and many who support the cause, because you’re angry....WTH.
No idea when did the Black movement becomes mostly looting and burning, I miss the time of MLK where the protests are peaceful with his powerful speech and the protesters are even in suit!
Black Lives Matter protesters set ablaze the black business district
I'm sure there is video... Who wants to take odds on the arsonists being white?
That’ll help their employment
The 'Black man' was a thug and BLM is a terror organization.
MattWalshBlog And. There. It. Is. Criminals destroying the lives of ordinary folk. Cheered on by the left and ignored by the MSM.
MattWalshBlog You forgot the word peaceful before the word arsonist.
Imagine writing this headline and thinking it makes sense
MattWalshBlog Truly burning down the village in order to save it. What a nightmare.
MattWalshBlog 🤣🤣🤣 Torched “Black” business district at the “Black Lives Matter”protest. How fucked up is that? Genius! 🤣🤣🤣
I find it hard to believe BLM protesters burned down Black businesses in their own neighborhood. The narrative is fitting for white racists. White racists have been proven to commit these acts of vandalism to falsely confirm racist beliefs about Blacks being dangerous.
“Unrest”
Hmmm, if you want to help the black community you probably shouldnt be destroying black owned businesses 👍
Hmmmm. That’s an odd way of saying Black Lives Matter. Ya think?
KamalaHarris how is this good? And you and JoeBiden say nothing.
BLM torching black businesses. The Democrat Party is pure evil.
Those Q people are out of control
*triggered by the wounding of a man wanted for prior violent crimes (active warrant), resisting arrest, reaching into car, who was shot by police as a last resort.
Oh, so Trump's National Guard has arrived to burn down the Black business district to avoid further looting, great idea.
who needs memes from 80s comedy movies anymore.
Pandering gets you no where. Its not the reason for violence its just the slogan
Hey if riots and looting happen, but the businesses are not POC-owned, is it really news-worthy? BLM
Democrats: Burning black businesses since the Black Wall Street massacre. Nothing new!
Looks like Trump will win WI again. Good job BLM. Idiots.
Demonstrations must be peaceful and justice must be served.
Criminals burn business after police justifiably shoot man resisting arrest
It’s truly sad that one black man high on drugs that won’t keep his nose out of police bsn is the catalyst to cause other black bsn owners to lose their livelihood!
calling terrorists arsonists is like calling ISIS freedom fighters.
The guy isn't even dead? Sheeeiit
