Riots in my Town

Tweet

It's way early especially when I didn't fall asleep till about 2 am and woke up at 4 am. I was up late due to the rioting going on here in the city I live in. I'm not sure if you all have heard or not but here in Kenosha, WI there was a police shooting on Sunday. The police shot a black man and Sunday night was some rioting and then last night (Monday) there was even more rioting. I am not going to get into the shooting just because I was not there and have no idea exactly what happened. Of course there are many different stories about how it went down. What I will talk about is the rioting, notice I do not call it a protest as the news keeps calling it. There was protest during the day on Monday, people walking the street with signs but nothing got broke into and nothing got lit on fire. However, on Sunday and even worse last night was rioters, they come out at night and places are being broke into and places lit on fire, that is not a protest. Here is something you wont hear on the news I am sure. I was listening to the police scanner and something that came up a few times is a license plate run from out of state and the running of ID from out of state. Of the ones that I heard was 3 plates from Illinois and one from Ohio and the ID that I hear was from Illinois too. In the past some were trying to say people were not coming from other places and some said they were. Well this tells me that people are coming in from other areas to at least insight these riots. That can be the only reason they come all this way in the middle of the night and are in the middle of all this. I turned on the scanner again this morning and although it is not as busy as between 11 pm and 2 am it is still going on from what I am hearing. Thankfully for me this is all happening about 5 miles across town from me so it is not to close to where I am.
