BLM and Militia Come Together, Discuss How Police May Have Provoked Kenosha Violence



Serious violence unfolded in Kenosha Tuesday night during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake.

The violence mentioned below wasn't between police and protesters.

It was captured on video and it had been between citizens.

Two people were killed and a 3rd victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after shooting began during a residential district of the town .

Much of the violence happened within the area of 63rd Street and Sheridan Road within the city, where eyewitness video purports to point out heavily armed civilians defending local businesses from suspected looters and arsonists.

Police say they need no details about the shootings, but videos of a number of the shootings and therefore the aftermath were everywhere Twitter Wednesday morning.

Here's another angle of the shooting in #Kenosha.

Many of the individuals who were heavily armed were claiming to be there to guard personal property from those that are ruin to the town over the past several days.

This is a topic that plays out time and again during protests, up to and including the LA riots when the Korean neighborhoods defended themselves with gunman on rooftops.

The gunman within the video above was filmed before that shooting, describing himself together of those folks.

Prior to shooting, the gunman said he was there to guard the property of citizens.

We don't know what happened before the video above, so we'll reserve judgement.

We do see several people chasing him down then jumping on top of him before he opens fire.

As the following video shows several BLM activists and other militia-style citizens were discussing what could've set this off and their answer was shocking - the cops.

As the video below shows, BLM activists and a number of other armed men who were their protecting property are having a cordial discussion about what unfolded that night.

These two groups, who the media says are alleged to be enemies, weren't at war with each other .

Instead, they were deciding why things became so violent.

"We fully support what you all do out here tonight," the militiaman says to the BLM acivtist.

The BLM activist who was confirmed to be filming was telling the militiaman that they "Left the town open," in a clear plan to criticize the work they were doing "Protecting personal property ."

The militiaman answered back, telling the person filming that this was extremely difficult, considering a business is ablaze behind them.

"You know what the cops told us today, we're gonna push em down by you, and you're gonna affect them, and that we are gonna leave," the AR-15 toting young man said.

Another AR-15 carrying man chimes in saying, "The second the shots were fired, I had to inform like six people it wasn't from you guys."

According to the people having the discussion within the video above, there could also be some bad actors out there attempting to impress violence among the protesters and therefore the people protecting property.

According to the people having the discussion within the video above, those doing the provoking, are the police.

The video above may be a brief clip of the for much longer one below during which BLM activists and militiamen peacefully gather together to debate what caused the violence and the way to stop it further.

With all the hatred and violence being apportioned by all sides of the political and racial spectrum, videos like this one are quite heartening to ascertain .
