RE: A travesty of justice

Likewise, if you ever feel like looting and rioting, just travel to Kenosha, Wis. ("But don't litter or jaywalk. They'll get you for that.")

"City property valued at $2 million was destroyed by rioters, including garbage trucks, street lights and traffic signals.[5] Kenosha's mayor requested $30 million in aid from the state to cover the extensive damage.[68] Damage to private property could be as high as $50 million, according to estimates from the Kenosha Area Business Alliance. This includes the 100-year-old Danish Brotherhood Lodge which was burned down when 40 buildings were destroyed and an additional 100 buildings damaged.[6][69]"


Had Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers acted sooner to fulfill government's responsibility to ensure peace and maintain order, more than likely, this tragedy (the shootings) would have been prevented. A travesty of governance? Hmmm.

"Day 3: August 25
The Kenosha County Board sent a letter to Governor Evers requesting the deployment of an additional 2,000 national guardsmen.[42] Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth asserted that most of the damage was from individuals with no intent to protest and who were not from Kenosha County. Governor Evers declared a state of emergency for the region, sending in 250 troops from the Wisconsin National Guard to the city.[43]"

(The shootings occured on August 25)

"Day 4: August 26
Protests continued peacefully with chants and sidewalk art in a park near the courthouse, followed by a march. Riot police and National Guard troops did not have a visible presence.[50]

The Kenosha County Board sent a second letter to Governor Evers requesting the deployment of an additional 1,500 national guardsmen. "Our county is under attack," the board wrote in the letter. "Our businesses are under attack. Our homes are under attack. Our local law enforcement agencies need additional support to help bring civility back to our community."[42]"
