Vehicles & stores on fire, protesters with guns: Kenosha rioters defy curfew for 2nd night in wake of police shooting (VIDEOS)


Neither the deployment of the National Guard, nor the curfew that took effect at 8 pm on Monday evening deterred protesters

By RT Tuesday, August 25, 2020

Another night of rioting and vandalism has rocked Kenosha, Wisconsin, with protesters seen setting stores and cars ablaze and clashing with the National Guard and police, who used crowd control weapons against violent rioters.

Neither the deployment of the National Guard, nor the curfew that took effect at 8 pm on Monday evening deterred protesters, some of them toting guns, from taking to the streets of Kenosha for the second night in a row.

HOLY SH*#: while interviewing this #BLM rioter in Kinosha he pulls out a real pistol and points it at my camera while explaining what we would do to cops if they rolled up on us right now

The unrest was sparked by the shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a black man, by police on Sunday. Blake was shot seven times from behind and is now being treated in the hospital for his injuries. The showdown between Blake and the officers, said to be over a domestic violence incident, was caught on a cellphone camera, with the footage triggering mass protests in the city which have quickly spiraled into riots, looting and vandalism.

On Monday evening, protesters set out marching toward the courthouse, protected by lines of officers clad in full riot gear. It did not take long before they began hurling objects at police, who moved to clear out the crowd with control munitions, including rubber bullets and tear gas, forcing those gathered to scatter.

Just like the previous night, the unrest was accompanied by vandalism, with protesters filmed setting fire to garbage trucks parked near the courthouse.

Another video shows a man throwing a Molotov cocktail into a truck, which caught fire within seconds. Blaze TV reporter Elijah Shaffer, who filmed the arson attempt, tweeted that the same man had also destroyed another dump truck moments earlier.

After damaging public city property, protesters turned their anger to private businesses, with another video showing them trashing vehicles at a car dealership.

The first night of mayhem on Monday has left scores of cars scorched and businesses ransacked, prompting Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to call in National Guard troops to quell the violence.

Armed Militia Tries To Stop Looters & Rioters In Kenosha – VIDEO


Fires, riots rage in Wisconsin


By Ben Warren | INFOWARS.COM Tuesday, August 25, 2020

An armed militia patrolled the streets in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last night to stop looters and rioters, newly surfaced video reveals.

The footage, hosted on YouTube by Concealed Nation, captured the second night of chaos and destruction by fire on the streets that ruined private property the night before.



“That guy is running around with a machine gun, yelling at people, and these people got guns I guarantee you that’s not gonna end well,” said the cameraman walking by the militia and an intense fire. “Meanwhile, you got another structure fire going on [across the street], that building butts up against a residential neighborhood, let me make that very clear.”

“So I really do pray the fire department… They need to get the fire department here… If that spreads it’s going to hit the residence.”

Alongside looting, setting buildings ablaze appeared to be the choice action of the agitators.

Notably, the buildings not seen surrounded by armed people were set on fire.

“This is insane, they’re just burning buildings down left and right,” lamented the cameraman.



Kenosha, WI – Video From Andy Ngo

Here is another great on-the-spot video from Andy Ngo from Kenosha, WI. last night.

An armed man protecting a business is screamed at by rioter obviously upset that he is protecting a business. Oh, the horror!

After you watch, read the comments. They are precious.

I was wondering when men and women were going to stop watching Dancing with the Stars, get off their couch, and come out to start protecting property. Hopefully, there were a few scoped rifles on roof tops.

Then we have this video from Dave Hernandez.

Matt Bracken’s thoughts this morning during an exchange of emails with him,

“What makes it especially shocking, is there is barely a minute spent on these riots on the Marxist Media, and barely any more on Fox. Is this because they are too cowardly to send “real” reporters, and they are ashamed that the only real footage coming out is shot by amateurs with guts? How can we understand the lack of national media coverage, as the USA lurches into an open shooting civil war?”

Wisconsin Militia Recruiting Citizens to Patrol Kenosha After 2nd Night of Riots

1,300 locals and militia interested or attending

By Kristan T Harris | TheRundownLive.com Tuesday, August 25, 2020

The Kenosha Guard, a local militia, is making a call-to-arms for “any patriots willing to take up arms and defend our city tonight from evil thugs.” The groups Facebook warns of potential future destruction to the neighborhood, claiming that there is “no doubt they’re currently planning on the next part of the city tonight!”

The Facebook event scheduled for 8PM at Civic Center Park today, outlines the agenda asking for “Armed Citizens to Protect our Lives and Property.”

The meet-up outlines that, “law enforcement is outnumbered and our Mayor has failed, Take up arms and lets defend our CITY! Meet at civic center at 8PM,” This was captured by the Rundown Live as thousands of Wisconsin protesters joined the Kenosha residents and things quickly turned violent, leaving vehicles, buildings in shambles and several injured.

A local resident who asked to remain anonymous, told the Rundown Live that the community is fed up with the looting and that law enforcement is not protecting local businesses, just federal buildings.” The individual suggested there are “many locals who share his sentiment and that” and that he is ” all for peaceful protests but we are not going to stand by and watch our city burn.”

This may have been inspired by other boogaloo movements such as in Michigan, but subsequently a result of the destruction of private property. A few brave locals came out armed last night to protect their businesses in Kenosha. The armed militia attempted to stop looters and rioters.

“Call the Police” Trends on Twitter After BLM Rioters Beg For Help From Cops
Oh, the irony.


By Paul Joseph Watson | INFOWARS.COM Wednesday, August 26, 2020

“Call the police” began trending on Twitter after BLM rioters in Kenosha made the plea following a shooting, a massive irony given that Black Lives Matter’s goal is to defund and abolish the police.

Several people were shot last night, including one fatally, as the riots continued to spiral out of control.

One of the shootings happened after rioters attempted to burn down another car dealership and were met by an armed citizen trying to defend the property.

One clip shows a man who has been shot in the head being helped by another individual who screams for someone to “call the police.”

— Simulation Warlord🇺🇸 (@zerosum24) August 26, 2020

Entrepreneur Michael Coudrey pointed out that the rioters were begging for help from the police a day after they tried to burn down local police precincts.

The Wisconsin BLM anarchists said “call the police” after they were shot at but just the night before they tried to burn all the local precincts to the ground…

— Mike Coudrey (@MichaelCoudrey) August 26, 2020

The shootings also occurred after Gov. Tony Evers refused help from the Trump administration despite law enforcement requesting back up to keep the peace.

Twitter respondents offered little sympathy for those shot given the terror and destruction that Black Lives Matter supporters have inflicted on American cities and those trying to defend their property and businesses over the last three months.

Video: Kenosha Rioter Shot In The Face For Coming Into Wrong Neighborhood

The Kenosha riots have officially moved beyond the city's downtown area and into the suburbs

By Kelen McBreen | INFOWARS.COM Tuesday, August 25, 2020

Among the numerous viral videos out of Monday night’s Kenosha, Wisconsin riots is footage of a “peaceful protester” being hit in the face by a bullet after a homeowner fired multiple rounds at a caravan of BLM rioters.

Many outlets ran with headlines saying a homeowner “fired warning shots” at the looters, but video posted to WorldStarHipHop.com shows a man was struck in the face by the gunfire.

Breitbart reported, “Shortly after midnight, a group of demonstrators got in their cars and traveled to a residential neighborhood where they parked in a grassy area across from a row of houses. As they began exiting their vehicles, a homeowner emerged from his house and began firing warning shots at the rioters.”

Check out the mayhem for yourself in the video below:



In the second part of the video, after the “protesters” exit their vehicle, the man who was filming can be seen talking with a police officer about the incident.

The man argued with police about their handling of the shooting and tried to insinuate the suspect was being treated well because he’s white.

In another video out of Kenosha, looters trying to destroy vehicles at a car dealership are told to “back the fuck away” from the businesses by men carrying long rifles and firing warning shots.

CNN's Don Lemon now says the riots have to stop - because it's showing up in the polls. Pretty soon they'll be saying the BLM and Antifa are Trump-supporting white nationalists, or something.

In case you didn't catch it...

The shooter is 17 year old Kyle Rittonhouse who was trying to protect his family's business when the commie thugs attacked him. He only fired in self defense after they had him on the ground.

More grown men need to stand up and follow his example and put a stop to the bullshit.

Two dead, one in custody in Kenosha shooting.

Quote
The mother of Jacob Blake, the man who was shot in the back by Kenosha police on Sunday, has called for an end to the rioting that broke out in the aftermath her son's shooting, which has since left two people dead.

"My family and I are very hurt. And quite frankly disgusted," Julia Jackson, Blake's mother, said in an interview with CNN Tuesday. "And as his mother, please don't burn up property and cause havoc and tear your own homes down in my son's name. You shouldn't do it."

Blake is, according to his father, paralyzed from the waist down.

The video of his shooting prompted riots in the 100,000-person city of Kenosha, where businesses and vehicles have been torched. The city has declared an 8 p.m. curfew and 100 members of the Wisconsin National Guard have been deployed to the city.

Two people were fatally shot Tuesday night, according to a statement from the Kenosha Police Department.

Before the shooting incident, police, using tear gas, had pushed demonstrators out of a park in front of the Kenosha Courthouse.

Some of the crowd had reassembled at a nearby gas station where they got into repeated verbal arguments with armed men who said they were there to protect businesses from vandalism, reports The New York Times. A video of the incident shows a person with a rifle being chased down a street by a crowd of people.

One man can be seen taking a swing at the back of the gunman's head. He later falls to the ground and is set upon by several members of the crowd, and can be seen shooting at least two of them. The shooter is then seen walking toward armored police vehicles.

Several bystanders in video of the incident say that the gunman was being chased after already shooting someone, reports NPR. The alleged shooter, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse of Antioch, Illinois, was arrested in Illinois and charged with first-degree intentional homicide.

The Daily Beast reports that Rittenhouse was an active supporter of Blue Lives Matter and pro-police causes on Facebook. An interview posted to Twitter by Daily Caller videographer Richard McGinnis shows Rittenhouse stating that he was there to protect businesses and that he was carrying a rifle and medical kit.

Fellow vigilantes claimed not to know Rittenhouse when confronted by demonstrators after the shooting, saying they only referred to him as "medic."

Many of the details surrounding last night's shooting incident remain murky. Wisconsin state police are in charge of the investigation, reports The New York Times.

Trump sends National Guard to Wisconsin at Kenosha County Board’s request, after clashes there result in deaths

US President Donald Trump has sent National Guard troops to Kenosha after county officials begged for assistance with ongoing riots following Sunday’s police shooting. An Illinois teen has been charged with killing two protesters.

The president announced he was deploying “federal law enforcement and the National Guard to Kenosha, [Wisconsin] to restore LAW and ORDER!” via Twitter on Wednesday, explaining he had just gotten off the phone with State Governor Tony Evers.

Trump’s statement came just hours after the Kenosha County Board begged Evers for “1,500 National Guard members with police powers” to be sent into the county, warning that the city was on the brink of annihilation after three nights of rioting. However, a press release from Evers’ office suggested that just 500 federal troops - a third of the requested manpower - were being sent to Kenosha.

Our county is under attack. Our businesses are under attack. Our homes are under attack,” the officials pleaded, inviting the governor to “visit Kenosha County and see firsthand the destruction that has been inflicted on our community.

While Evers had declared a state of emergency on Tuesday and deployed 250 National Guard servicemembers to protect “critical infrastructure,” Kenosha officials argued this was insufficient to protect the city, as rioters put local businesses to the torch and two were left dead amidst the melee on Tuesday night.

The gunman believed responsible for those deaths, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse from Illinois, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday morning. Having returned to his home state, he was accused of fleeing Wisconsin “with intent to avoid prosecution” for the shooting. A third shooting victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. However, the circumstances of the shooting remain murky, with some witnesses insisting he was a white supremacist and others claiming he was there to protect property.
Also on rt.com ‘Boogaloo white supremacist’ or upstanding citizen? What we know about the alleged Kenosha shooter

Protests erupted in Kenosha on Sunday night after police shot Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man, seven times in the back, leaving him paralyzed. The demonstrations have continued nightly since, often degenerating into rioting and violence, and video posted to social media shows local business owners taking up weapons to protect their property from the mob. Clashes with police have led to exchanges of tear gas, bricks, and other projectiles, while arsonists reportedly set over three dozen fires in the first two days alone.

Blake’s family have come forward to express their “disgust” at the violence. His mother, Julia Jackson, urged would-be troublemakers not to “burn up property and cause havoc and tear your own homes down in my son’s name.”

I was up all night listening to the Kenosha, WI Police and Fire Scanner. We are gonna have a war. The only reason we didn’t have rolling street battles last night is the Federal Agents were arresting some really bad people. This won’t work in a major city like Baltimore or Philly. They streets are too confusing, and the people are far angrier.

They(We) are lucky this is a small town. Out-of-town police are helping with out-of-town Commies. The police sounded tired, but in a good mood, and moral seems high. The small town, post war gridded street lay out is the only reason the police are able to contain this situation. They were arresting communists armed with gas cans and rifles ALL night. Based on calls that there are “Two Men with rifles and a gas can walking around my neighborhood”. Also, after two days of burning stuff down and looting, the hyenas needed to move on to fresh meat. Last night sounded like out-of-towners to me. I think the locals got it out of their system,. This was different. The communists had all of their vehicle’s license plates blacked out. Which resulted in a team of “Our guys” airing your tires out. This is a great tactic. There is not enough tow trucks to make rescue stranded commies ; which gives you time to get VIN’s the next day. And they cannot drive 100 miles back home on broken wheels. Very Smart. But eventually, its gonna be “drop the kids off at the pool” day. They will use carpooling. So this tactic will be short lived in it’s effectiveness.

The Police were apprehending all long-armed commies. Who were, in fact, just wandering around the “suburbs”. FYI, Kenosha is basically one Giant Truckstop/Suburb located halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago. There are a few “Marshall’s Teams” or “The Marshalls” going around and rolling up these “suspects with long rifles”. They immediately surrendered every time they were caught by the police, sometimes they ran away, but due to the “grid” layout of this postwar city, there was very little the Communists could do to get away from the police. Today the police are removing all dumpsters, and anything else that was used as a barrier and cover in downtown. Downtown was the main objective, but the suburbs had Charlie all over the place. Starting at 2100-2200 EST. So around 2000 Wisconsin time. That’s early gentlemen. The Marxists were moving into position while they had some daylight left.

This is not very good terrain to run a marxist breakout. I would suspect the land is flat, the buildings are low, and the streets are nice and wide. Post war style. Very cookie cutter, easy to defend for the locals.

Let me tell you this, the number of people they had wandering around with gas cans and rifles was disturbing, these reports carried on till about 0200. So disturbing that I was tearing up a little. Two men with gas cans and rifles sounds like a hit team to me. Call me crazy, but I bet you they were targeting people. It sounded like they had lists. I was trying to keep up with the location reports, but it was such a mess. Sometimes there were groups of 50-100 blocking roads. Then 30 seconds later it was a report of two men with gas cans and rifles. Then it was reports of random people breaking into museums and businesses. It was CRAZY.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing last night. It sounded exactly like a long night in Baghdad.

The New York Times makes the shooting look like self defense.

Quote
... About 15 minutes before the first shooting, police officers drive past Mr. Rittenhouse, and the other armed civilians who claim to be protecting the dealership, and offer water out of appreciation.

Mr. Rittenhouse walks up to a police vehicle carrying his rifle and talks with the officers.

He eventually leaves the dealership and is barred by the police from returning. Six minutes later footage shows Mr. Rittenhouse being chased by an unknown group of people into the parking lot of another dealership several blocks away.

While Mr. Rittenhouse is being pursued by the group, an unknown gunman fires into the air, though it’s unclear why. The weapon’s muzzle flash appears in footage filmed at the scene.

Mr. Rittenhouse turns toward the sound of gunfire as another pursuer lunges toward him from the same direction. Mr. Rittenhouse then fires four times, and appears to shoot the man in the head.

Mr. Rittenhouse seems to make a phone call and then flees the scene. Several people chase him, some shouting, “That’s the shooter!”

As Mr. Rittenhouse is running, he trips and falls to the ground. He fires four shots as three people rush toward him. One person appears to be hit in the chest and falls to the ground. Another, who is carrying a handgun, is hit in the arm and runs away.

Mr. Rittenhouse’s gunfire is mixed in with the sound of at least 16 other gunshots that ring out during this time.

As this happens, police vehicles just one block away remain stationary during the gunfire.

Mr. Rittenhouse walks with his hands up toward the police vehicles. Bystanders call out to the officers that he had just shot people.

The police drive by him without stopping, on their way to assist the victims....

Arrests Made After ‘Suspicious Vehicles With Out-Of-State Plates’ Stopped In Kenosha


As officers closed in, the driver of the minivan attempted to pull away

By ZeroHedge Thursday, August 27, 2020

Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin arrested nine individuals on Wednesday evening on charges of disorderly conduct after stopping several ‘suspicious vehicles with out-of-state plates’ and suspecting the occupants of “preparing for criminal activity related to the civil unrest,” according to Fox29 Philadelphia.

Several other charges are pending, according to the Kenosha County DA.

The suspects were driving three vehicles; a black school bus, a bread truck and a tan minivan.

Police said this began with a citizen tip that the vehicles planned to meet in a remote lot near State Highway 50 and Green Bay Road,

Officers began surveilling the vehicles after locating them, assisted by U.S. Marshals — and confirmed the out-of-state plates.

Police said officers followed them to a gas station near Washington Road and 30th Avenue, where officers observed the occupants of the bus and bread truck exit and attempt to fill multiple fuel cans. –Fox29

Understandably, officers then suspected “that the occupants of these vehicles were preparing for criminal activity related to the civil unrest,” after which they attempted to make contact and investigate the incident.

The police noted that “the officers exited their vehicles, identified themselves, were wearing appropriate identification and then detained the occupants of the bus and bread truck.”

As officers closed in, the driver of the minivan attempted to pull away, but was stopped by police who forced an entry into the vehicle and arrested the occupants.

The vehicles contained helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks and suspected controlled substances, according to the report.




Black Lives Matter Rioters Burned ‘Much Of The Black Business District’ in Kenosha

Local resident claims out-of-towners razed many black businesses during the ongoing civil unrest

By Lionel Du Cane | National File Thursday, August 27, 2020

A local resident claims many out-of-towners traveled to Kenosha for the purpose of rioting and burned down many black businesses as civil unrest continues following the police involved shooting of Jacob Blake, a black Kenosha resident, when they were called to a domestic disturbance.

Several business were torched as the Wisconsin city was plunged into civil unrest to cap off a summer of rioting and violent protests against police brutality and so-called “systemic” racism.

An article published by Reuters revealed how one resident talked about the destruction of black businesses–in protests purportedly conducted to raise awareness of black struggles.

“Arsonists set several buildings ablaze and torched much of the Black business district in a second night of unrest in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, triggered by the wounding of a Black man shot in the back by officers,” Reuters tweeted.

— Reuters (@Reuters) August 25, 2020

Daily Wire quoted how local resident, Porche Bennett, spoke of people from elsewhere would wreak havoc throughout the city. Reuters has since appeared to have scrubbed Bennett’s account from the original article.

It read:

Local police, who had support from National Guard troops, fired tear gas, rubber bullets and smoke bombs to disperse the crowd, which grew to several hundred, according to protester Porche Bennett, 31, of Kenosha. 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. We’ve been shopping there since we were kids and they set it on fire,” Bennett said.

“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”,” one person tweeted.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice recently issued a statement finding that Blake had a weapon on his vehicle’s floorboard before he was shot four times by police, leaving his paralyzed and fighting for his life.

Kyle Rittenhouse Offers EMT Services to Injured Protesters in Unearthed Video
...And there goes the "intentional murder" charge


By Infowars.com Friday, August 28, 2020

Prior to shooting three people who were attacking him, Kyle Rittenhouse was offering free EMT service to injured protesters regardless of their political ideology.

In the footage, Rittenhouse offers first aid to a diverse group of protesters walking by and aids one of them who was shot with a rubber bullet by police.

“I am an EMT, if you are injured come to me,” Rittenhouse tells protesters.

Newly uncovered video of Kyle Rittenhouse shows him helping an injured protester after she was struck in the foot with a projectile. In another video he told the cameraman that he brought a medical kit, which is the bag he was carrying. No malicious intent. Exactly the opposite. pic.twitter.com/rsmzKPe1xg

— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) August 28, 2020

Rittenhouse was likely one of the few trained EMT techs inside the riot zone given that police were simply keeping a perimeter around the rioting.

This video, showing Rittenhouse’s intent, further debunks mainstream reporters claiming Rittenhouse was a “white supremacist” who was targeting innocent protesters.

Rittenhouse was charged with six counts over the shootings, including “first-degree intentional homicide,” leading critics to suggest the charges were either straight-up political persecution or that they were intentionally overzealous to ensure they won’t stick while trying to appease rioters.




Mistaken Identity? Man Shot After Rushing Kyle Rittenhouse May Have Mistaken Him For Someone Else


Did Rosenbaum mistake Rittenhouse for another green-shirted rifleman he was angry at?

By Infowars.com Friday, August 28, 2020

Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man who chased Kyle Rittenhouse before getting shot, may have mistaken Rittenhouse for another rifleman wearing a green shirt.

In video filmed before the shooting, Rosenbaum is in a confrontation involving another rifleman wearing a green shirt and shorts; Rittenhouse, on the other hand, was also wearing a green shirt but with jeans, and he’s not seen during this altercation:

It appears that Rosenbaum was saying “shoot me, n****a,” to the green shirt guy that’s not Rittenhouse.

Rittenhouse first appears in this video 15 minutes earlier, stating that he’s an EMT and offering to help an injured protester – and he doesn’t appear to be at the gas station later on when a very agitated Rosenbaum confronts the other ‘green shirt’ rifleman.

There’s also been reports that Rittenhouse wasn’t actually part of the militia team guarding the gas station, which, if true, would explain why Rosenbaum was able to chase Rittenhouse.

Ostensibly, Rosenbaum wouldn’t have been able to isolate the other rifleman in a green shirt because he was guarded by his team members.

Moreover, during the shooting Rittenhouse was still wearing surgical gloves, which makes sense if he was providing EMT services to protesters.

Was Rittenhouse still helping injured protesters when Rosenbaum was in an altercation with the other green shirt rifleman? That would explain why Rittenhouse doesn’t appear at the gas station at that time.

In fact, after the gas station confrontation, at 29:20, you can faintly hear Rittenhouse’s voice again offering medical services near the same place he was at 20 minutes prior:

Both Rittenhouse and the other young man were both wearing plain green t-shirts with similar-looking rifles, so it’s plausible that Rosenbaum could have mistaken the two.

Rittenhouse clearly acted in self defense, but was arrested and charged anyway. Sort of reminds me of someone else we know.

Kyle Rittenhouse Worked As Lifeguard In Kenosha On Day Of Shooting, Cleaned Graffiti Off Local School After Work: Legal Team


Left's claims 17-year-old a bloodthirsty white supremacist collapsing amid new evidence


By Chris Menahan | Information Liberation Saturday, August 29, 2020

Kyle Rittenhouse was working as a community lifeguard in Kenosha on the day of the shooting, went to clean graffiti off a public high school near the Kenosha County Courthouse after work and did not carry a gun across state lines, according to a statement from his legal defense team released on Friday evening.

“On August 25th, 2020, Kenosha spiraled into chaos following the Jacob Blake shooting. The Kenosha Mayor and Wisconsin Governor failed to provide a basic degree of law and order to protect the citizens and community buildings in Kenosha. The city burned as mobs destroyed buildings and property, and looters stole whatever they wanted. Rioters defaced storefronts, the courthouse, and many other public and private locations across the city,” Pierce Bainbridge’s John M. Pierce said in a statement sent to InformationLiberation.

“After Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove graffiti by rioters,” Pierce said.

— New York Post (@nypost) August 27, 2020

He continued: “Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence. The business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines.”

“The gun belonged to his friend, a Wisconsin resident,” L. Lin Wood said Friday on Twitter.

Pierce’s statement continued: “Upon arrival, Kyle and others stood guard at the mechanic’s shop across from the auto dealership to prevent further damage or destruction. Later that night, substantially after the city’s 8:00 p.m. curfew expired without consequence, the police finally started to attempt to disperse a group of rioters. In doing so, they maneuvered a mass of individuals down the street towards the auto shops. Kyle and others on the premises were verbally threatened and taunted multiple times as the rioters passed by, but Kyle never reacted. His intent was not to incite violence, but simply to deter property damage and use his training to provide first aid to injured community members.”

“After the crowd passed the premises and Kyle believed the threat of further destruction had passed, he became increasingly concerned with the injured protestors and bystanders congregating at a nearby gas station with no immediate access to medical assistance or help from law enforcement. Kyle headed in that direction with a first aid kit. He sought out injured persons, rendered aid, and tried to guide people to others who could assist to the extent he could do so amid the chaos. By the final time Kyle returned to the gas station and confirmed there were no more injured individuals who needed assistance, police had advanced their formation and blocked what would have been his path back to the mechanic’s shop. Kyle then complied with the police instructions not to go back there. Kyle returned to the gas station until he learned of a need to help protect the second mechanic’s shop further down the street where property destruction was imminent with no police were nearby.”

— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) August 28, 2020

“As Kyle proceeded towards the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy. This outraged the rioters and created a mob now determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down. Kyle attempted to get away, but he could not do so quickly enough. Upon the sound of a gunshot behind him, Kyle turned and was immediately faced with an attacker lunging towards him and reaching for his rifle.”

“He reacted instantaneously and justifiably with his weapon to protect himself, firing and striking the attacker.”

“Kyle stopped to ensure care for the wounded attacker but faced a growing mob gesturing towards him. He realized he needed to flee for his safety and his survival. Another attacker struck Kyle from behind as he fled down the street. Kyle turned as the mob pressed in on him and he fell to the ground. One attacker kicked Kyle on the ground while he was on the ground. Yet another bashed him over the head with a skateboard. Several rioters tried to disarm Kyle. In fear for his life and concerned the crowd would either continue to shoot at him or even use his own weapon against him, Kyle had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers, striking two, including one armed attacker. The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots.”

“Kyle got up and continued down the street in the direction of police with his hands in the air. He attempted to contact multiple police officers, but they were more concerned with the wounded attackers.”

“The police did not take Kyle into custody at that time, but instead they indicated he should keep moving.”

“He fully cooperated, both then and later that night when he turned himself in to the police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois.”

“Kyle did nothing wrong,” Pierce said. “He exercised his God-given, Constitutional, common law and statutory law right to self-defense.”

He continued: “However, in a reactionary rush to appease the divisive, destructive forces currently roiling this country, prosecutors in Kenosha did not engage in any meaningful analysis of the facts, or any in-depth review of available video footage (some of which shows that a critical state’s witness was not even at the area where the shots were fired); this was not a serious investigation. Rather, after learning Kyle may have had conservative political viewpoints, they immediately saw him as a convenient target who they could use as a scapegoat to distract from the Jacob Blake shooting and the government’s abject failure to ensure basic law and order to citizens. Within 24-36 hours, he was charged with multiple homicide counts.”

Pierce said Rittenhouse “has the best legal representation in the country” with “help from Nicholas Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood, Pierce Bainbridge and multiple top-tier criminal defense lawyers.”

“Today, his legal team was successful in working with the public defender to obtain a several-week continuance of his extradition hearing to September 25th,” Pierce said. “This at least partially slows down the rush to judgment by a government and media that is determined to assassinate his character and destroy his life.”

“Kyle, his family, the team at Pierce Bainbridge and his other lawyers intend to fight these charges every step of the way, take the case to trial and win an acquittal on the grounds of self-defense before a jury of his peers.”

“A 17-year old child should not have to take up arms in America to protect life and property,” Pierce said. “That is the job of state and local governments. However, those governments have failed, and law-abiding citizens have no choice but to protect their own communities as their forefathers did at Lexington and Concord in 1775. Kyle is not a racist or a white supremacist. He is a brave, patriotic, compassionate law-abiding American who loves his country and his community. He did nothing wrong. He defended himself, which is a fundamental right of all Americans given by God and protected by law. He is now in the crosshairs of institutional forces that are much more powerful than him. But he will stand up to them and fight not only for himself, but for all Americans and their beloved Constitution. We will never leave his side until he is victorious in that fight.”

“Kyle got up and continued down the street in the direction of police with his hands in the air. He attempted to contact multiple police officers, but they were more concerned with the wounded attackers.”

“The police did not take Kyle into custody at that time, but instead they indicated he should keep moving.”

“He fully cooperated, both then and later that night when he turned himself in to the police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois.”

“Kyle did nothing wrong,” Pierce said. “He exercised his God-given, Constitutional, common law and statutory law right to self-defense.”

He continued: “However, in a reactionary rush to appease the divisive, destructive forces currently roiling this country, prosecutors in Kenosha did not engage in any meaningful analysis of the facts, or any in-depth review of available video footage (some of which shows that a critical state’s witness was not even at the area where the shots were fired); this was not a serious investigation. Rather, after learning Kyle may have had conservative political viewpoints, they immediately saw him as a convenient target who they could use as a scapegoat to distract from the Jacob Blake shooting and the government’s abject failure to ensure basic law and order to citizens. Within 24-36 hours, he was charged with multiple homicide counts.”

Pierce said Rittenhouse “has the best legal representation in the country” with “help from Nicholas Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood, Pierce Bainbridge and multiple top-tier criminal defense lawyers.”

“Today, his legal team was successful in working with the public defender to obtain a several-week continuance of his extradition hearing to September 25th,” Pierce said. “This at least partially slows down the rush to judgment by a government and media that is determined to assassinate his character and destroy his life.”

“Kyle, his family, the team at Pierce Bainbridge and his other lawyers intend to fight these charges every step of the way, take the case to trial and win an acquittal on the grounds of self-defense before a jury of his peers.”

“A 17-year old child should not have to take up arms in America to protect life and property,” Pierce said. “That is the job of state and local governments. However, those governments have failed, and law-abiding citizens have no choice but to protect their own communities as their forefathers did at Lexington and Concord in 1775. Kyle is not a racist or a white supremacist. He is a brave, patriotic, compassionate law-abiding American who loves his country and his community. He did nothing wrong. He defended himself, which is a fundamental right of all Americans given by God and protected by law. He is now in the crosshairs of institutional forces that are much more powerful than him. But he will stand up to them and fight not only for himself, but for all Americans and their beloved Constitution. We will never leave his side until he is victorious in that fight.”

Pierce Bainbridge Engaged to Represent 17-Year Old Kyle Rittenhouse Wrongfully Charged with Murder After Acting in Self-Defense in Kenosha, WI
~ Community Lifeguard Was Protecting Life and Community Because His State and Local Government Failed – Was Viciously Attacked by Mob and Fearing for his Life Exercised His God-given and Constitutional Right to Self-Defense ~

VERNON HILLS, ILLINOIS / August 28, 2020 / Pierce Bainbridge is honored to represent 17-year old Antioch, Illinois resident Kyle Rittenhouse, who has suddenly found himself at the center of a national firestorm and charged with murder after defending himself from a relentless, vicious and potentially deadly mob attack in Kenosha, Wisconsin. On August 25th, 2020, Kenosha spiraled into chaos following the Jacob Blake shooting. The Kenosha Mayor and Wisconsin Governor failed to provide a basic degree of law and order to protect the citizens and community buildings in Kenosha. The city burned as mobs destroyed buildings and property, and looters stole whatever they wanted. Rioters defaced storefronts, the courthouse, and many other public and private locations across the city. After Kyle finished his work that day as a community lifeguard in Kenosha, he wanted to help clean up some of the damage, so he and a friend went to the local public high school to remove graffiti by rioters. Later in the day, they received information about a call for help from a local business owner, whose downtown Kenosha auto dealership was largely destroyed by mob violence. The business owner needed help to protect what he had left of his life’s work, including two nearby mechanic’s shops. Kyle and a friend armed themselves with rifles due to the deadly violence gripping Kenosha and many other American cities, and headed to the business premises. The weapons were in Wisconsin and never crossed state lines. Upon arrival, Kyle and others stood guard at the mechanic’s shop across from the auto dealership to prevent further damage or destruction. Later that night, substantially after the city’s 8:00 p.m. curfew expired without consequence, the police finally started to attempt to disperse a group of rioters. In doing so, they maneuvered a mass of individuals down the street towards the auto shops. Kyle and others on the premises were verbally threatened and taunted multiple times as the rioters passed by, but Kyle never reacted. His intent was not to incite violence, but simply to deter property damage and use his training to provide first aid to injured community members. After the crowd passed the premises and Kyle believed the threat of further destruction had passed, he became increasingly concerned with the injured protestors and bystanders congregating at a nearby gas station with no immediate access to medical assistance or help from law enforcement. Kyle headed in that direction with a first aid kit. He sought out injured persons, rendered aid, and tried to guide people to others who could assist to the extent he could do so amid the chaos. By the final time Kyle returned to the gas station and confirmed there were no more injured individuals who needed assistance, police had advanced their formation and blocked what would have been his path back to the mechanic’s shop. Kyle then complied with the police instructions not to go back there. Kyle returned to the gas station until he learned of a need to help protect the second mechanic’s shop further down the street where property destruction was imminent with no police were nearby. As Kyle proceeded towards the second mechanic’s shop, he was accosted by multiple rioters who recognized that he had been attempting to protect a business the mob wanted to destroy. This outraged the rioters and created a mob now determined to hurt Kyle. They began chasing him down. Kyle attempted to get away, but he could not do so quickly enough. Upon the sound of a gunshot behind him, Kyle turned and was immediately faced with an attacker lunging towards him and reaching for his rifle. He reacted instantaneously and justifiably with his weapon to protect himself, firing and striking the attacker. Kyle stopped to ensure care for the wounded attacker but faced a growing mob gesturing towards him. He realized he needed to flee for his safety and his survival. Another attacker struck Kyle from behind as he fled down the street. Kyle turned as the mob pressed in on him and he fell to the ground. One attacker kicked Kyle on the ground while he was on the ground. Yet another bashed him over the head with a skateboard. Several rioters tried to disarm Kyle. In fear for his life and concerned the crowd would either continue to shoot at him or even use his own weapon against him, Kyle had no choice but to fire multiple rounds towards his immediate attackers, striking two, including one armed attacker. The rest of the mob began to disperse upon hearing the additional gunshots. Kyle got up and continued down the street in the direction of police with his hands in the air. He attempted to contact multiple police officers, but they were more concerned with the wounded attackers. The police did not take Kyle into custody at that time, but instead they indicated he should keep moving. He fully cooperated, both then and later that night when he turned himself in to the police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois. Kyle did nothing wrong. He exercised his God-given, Constitutional, common law and statutory law right to self-defense. However, in a reactionary rush to appease the divisive, destructive forces currently roiling this country, prosecutors in Kenosha did not engage in any meaningful analysis of the facts, or any in-depth review of available video footage (some of which shows that a critical state’s witness was not even at the area where the shots were fired); this was not a serious investigation. Rather, after learning Kyle may have had conservative political viewpoints, they immediately saw him as a convenient target who they could use as a scapegoat to distract from the Jacob Blake shooting and the government’s abject failure to ensure basic law and order to citizens. Within 24-36 hours, he was charged with multiple homicide counts. Kyle now has the best legal representation in the country. With help from Nicholas Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood, Pierce Bainbridge and multiple top-tier criminal defense lawyers in Wisconsin immediately offered representation to Kyle.

Today, his legal team was successful in working with the public defender to obtain a several-week continuance of his extradition hearing to September 25
th
. This at least partially slows down the rush to judgment by a government and media that is determined to assassinate his character and destroy his life. Kyle, his family, the team at Pierce Bainbridge and his other lawyers intend to fight these charges every step of the way, take the case to trial and win an acquittal on the grounds of self-defense before a jury of his peers. The legal fees and other costs of Kyle’s defense will be provided through donations to #FightBack Foundation Inc., a Texas 501(c)(4) foundation created by John Pierce and Lin Wood to protect law-abiding American citizens whose rights are being trampled on by state and local governments that are more concerned with appeasing mobs than protecting those rights. Pierce Bainbridge founder John Pierce praised Kyle’s strength and resilience. “A 17-year old child should not have to take up arms in America to protect life and property. That is the job of state and local governments. However, those governments have failed, and law-abiding citizens have no choice but to protect their own communities as their forefathers did at Lexington and Concord in 1775. Kyle is not a racist or a white supremacist. He is a brave, patriotic, compassionate law-abiding American who loves his country and his community. He did nothing wrong.

But he will stand up to them and fight not only for himself, but for all Americans and their beloved Constitution. We will never leave his side until he is victorious in that fight.”
