For those of you who didn't catch Regg's video yesterday:
This is the guy with the UHaul. It appears they took info from him and then released him but kept the UHaul. Regg said this is the guy who leads the protests.

LE had the area under control. Regg said they were real guns.

This one was rich! Little white girl blocking the BearCat. She was given a final warning... she moved. When people make a donation to Regg, they get to make a statement. The timing for this one was perfection.

How many of these Soros/DNC paid BLM/Antifa goons are criminals/sex offenders?

Were they part DNC COVID jail exodus?

They're orgainized paid Leftist mercenaries the DNC/BLM has been directing Strategic Violence and Destruction to the middle class.

One can only imagine what these paid terrorists will do the wives and children of the 'racists' they kill. One has to assume such abusive violence is part of the overall plan. For all we know hole-in-the-head guy was planning on raping Kyle!

Residents fire warning shots as rioters move into residential neighborhoods in Kenosha
Posted by: Chris Elliot | August 27, 2020

KENOSHA, WI –In the nights following the August 23rd shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha Police, rioters and looters have taken to the streets of the city and created sheer chaos.
Now those same rioters are trying to take their criminal actions into the residential areas.
But they were not expected pushback, when a local resident came out firing warning shots which caused them to scatter.

On August 24th, members of Black Lives Matter and other rioters decided to take their show into the residential areas in Kenosha.
Around midnight, a group of them arrived and parked their cars and began to walk into the neighborhood.
Protesters must have been expected what they have seen in Portland, Seattle, Washington DC and elsewhere, where the residents just take the abuse they are given. They were in for a very rude awakening.
As the group of protesters walked int the neighborhood, an unnamed resident exited his home and began firing his weapon, not to shoot the protesters, but to get them run away like the cowards they are.
And run they did. It must have been quite a sight to see these cowards running with their tails tucked between their legs.
In another area, criminals attempted to riot in a business area and were met with the same type of response. Instead of business owners fleeing and/or just letting it happen, one owner had enough of the nonsense and fired several shots, also, just to scare the cowards away.
This also worked and the cowards fled, and the area remained untouched, at least for that night.

However, maintaining the peace could not possibly done in all areas of Kenosha, which has seen continual rioting since the shooting.
The city has seen massive fires, property damage, attacks, and murder. Riots have not slowed, even though there are fewer buildings left to destroy.

Blake’s own family has come out against the rioting and criminal acts and asked for it to stop.
Even with that, Black Lives Matter is calling for more unrest and the total and complete dismantling of the Kenosha Police Department. Karissa Lewis, a national field director of Movement for Black Lives, said:
“Yet another example of why activists have called for defunding police departments. There’s no amount of training or reform that can teach a police officer that it’s wrong to shoot a Black man in the back seven times while his children watch.”
Extreme left-wing activist Shaun King also chimed in:
“Nah. I’m not going to call for peace. We’ve tried peace. For years. Y’all don’t understand that language. We are calling for a complete dismantling of American policing. It’s NOT broken. It was built to work this way. And mayhem is the consequence. You earned it.”
Democrat Governor Tony Evers was also quick to jump on convicted the officer involved without due process.
“While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.
We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country.”

It is interesting, that unlike the people who protected their business and residential areas, Evers has done little to safeguard the city of Kenosha which has almost been completely destroyed.
Sure, he called up the National Guard, but he did so too late and his actions have most likely left all police officers concerned of doing anything, for fear he will also declare them guilty without an investigation and trial.
Now that the Department of Justice has announced that not only was Blake armed with a knife during the confrontation, he admitted it, wonder if Evers or other leaders will backtrack on their conviction of the involved officer or just continue to let the cities burn.
This could change everything: Wisconsin DOJ acknowledges that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife
KENOSHA, WI – The state attorney general refused to acknowledge whether Jacob Blake, the criminal who was shot by police, was armed. Now we’ve learned that he in fact was.
On Wednesday, the investigating authority for the shooting of Jacob Blake, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, identified the involved officer, Rusten Sheskey.
Sheskey told investigators that Blake was armed for a knife during that fateful encounter – and even Blake himself admitted to it.
BREAKING: Officials Identify Officer Who Shot #JacobBlake:
– Rusten Sheskey, a 7-year veteran of the Dept.
– Taser was ineffective
– Blake possessed a knife
– There is no bodycam footage
– No criminal charges as of now
⏩ Officials Identify Kenosha Officer Who Shot Jacob Blake, Say He Had Knife - Breaking911 pic.twitter.com/DimvNJweIe
— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) August 26, 2020

On August 23, the Department of Justice reported that Sheskey was part of a group of officers who responded to the 2800 block of 40th Street in Kenosha regarding a domestic dispute.
The caller reported that her boyfriend had showed up at the residence and he was no longer allowed there.
As officers attempted to arrest him (and it’s not clear at this point if it was for the disturbance or the fact he had several warrants for his arrest), the criminal physically fought with the officers.
One of the officers fired her Taser at Blake but it did not affect him.
Blake is seen walking away from officers as they gave him several lawful commands to stop and he refused. As Blake entered into the vehicle, and reached down to the floor board, seven year veteran Sheskey opened fire.
The DOJ confirmed that Sheskey fired his weapon seven times.
The DOJ release said:
“During the investigation follow the initial incident, Mr. Blake admitted that he had a knife in his possession. DCI agents recovered a knife from the driver’s side floorboard of Mr. Blake’s vehicle. A search of the vehicle located no additional weapons.”
The released concluded that they are “continuing to review evidence and determine the facts of this incident.” The timeline given for an approximate report to be completed is thirty days until it is presented to the District Attorney.
After review of the facts in the report, the District Attorney will make a conclusion if there are any criminal charges warranted against Sheskey. If the DA determines not to pursue any criminal charges against him, the report will be made available to the public.
All officers who were involved in this incident have been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. This is standard protocol.
Democrat Presidential Nominee, Joe Biden, wasted no time in convicting Sheskey in his public remarks on the matter on the 26th. Biden said:
“What I saw in that video makes me sick. Once again, a Black man – Jacob Blake – has been shot by the police in broad daylight with the whole world watching.”
Biden said he had already spoken to family members of Blake:
“I told them, ‘Justice must and will be done.’ Our hearts are with his family, especially his children.”
“Justice”, meaning that Biden has already convicted him.
The State Attorney General Josh Kaul – who refused to acknowledge the knife publicly – released a statement:
“The Wisconsin Department of Justice is vigorously and thoroughly investigating yesterday’s officer-involved shooting in Kenosha. As with all investigations we conduct, we will unwaveringly pursue justice in this case.”
Democrat Wisconsin Governor, Tony Evers, released a statement alluding that the officers are guilty before an investigation has even been completed. He said:
“Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries. While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country
…And we stand against excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites.”

Now, there is no denying that the video is shocking for anyone with a heart. Seeing any person shot repeatedly in the back at point blank range is difficult.
However, now that some additional facts are surfacing, especially the huge reveal that Blake ADMITTED to being armed with a knife, well, that could change some things, at least for reasonable people.
What we do know now is Blake was armed with a knife, which explains why officers were heard by witnesses yelling to “drop the knife.”
We also know that Blake is a known violent felon since his arrest for aggravated assault with a firearm in the same town.
Add in that he had several active arrest warrants, one of those charges was for rape.
And, for the finisher, he completely and utterly refuses all lawful efforts to stop, give up, and call it a day.
Instead of simply complying to the officers lawful orders and fight his case in court, he decided he would physically fight them because in his mind, he did not need to listen to them.
He also was armed during the encounter, something of which he admits to now.
And he refused to stop going into the vehicle and leaning down to the floor board. It is completely plausible, that in that moment, Sheskey was scared for his life. If that is found to be the case, the shooting will and must be justified.

Regardless of these facts and how the shooting is eventually ruled, the riots will continue in Kenosha tonight as they will elsewhere.
People like Biden and members of the NBA automatically jump to the conclusions that officers are wrong in anything they do, especially when it comes to deadly force, regardless of the facts.
In the meantime, Blake’s mother, Julia Jackson, had some choice words for those rioting in Wisconsin under the guise of seeking social justice.
In her words, she’s “disgusted” that anyone would riot over her son.

While appearing on CNN, Jackson was speaking with Don Lemon about her stance on the riots, destruction and violence happening in Kenosha. The show host asked Jackson the following:
“The destruction that has been taking place in cities across it country and in Kenosha…I heard you speak about that. And my question is, you said you don’t want that in Jacob’s name and neither would he. Tell me more about that, please.”
Jackson responded with the following:
“Absolutely not. My family and I are very hurt and quite frankly disgusted. 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.”
Jackson went on to note that this level of destruction and madness isn’t excusable in any circumstance, but to use her son as an excuse is more insulting than anything:
“People shouldn’t [riot] anyway, but to use my child or any other mother or father’s child, our tragedy to react in that manner is just not acceptable. And it’s not helping Jacob. It’s not helping Jacob or any other of the men or women who has suffered in these areas.”

After speaking her mind with regard to the riots taking place in Kenosha, Lemon asked Jackson if there was anything she would want to say to any politician in particular. Jackson surprisingly wanted to direct a comment to President Donald Trump, but likely not in the fashion some have come to expect on CNN.
Jackson had made reference to some comments made by a family member, likely derogatory ones, aimed at the president. On that note, she offered an apology to President Trump:
“For our President Trump, first I want to say a family member and I don’t know if it was heard or not said something that was not kind. She is hurting and I do apologize for that. Our outburst does not reflect our behavior.”
Blake’s mother also apologized for missing the phone call from President Trump as well and expressed the “utmost respect” for the president:
“And also, for President Trump, I’m sorry I missed your call because had I not missed your call, maybe the comments that you made would have been different. And I’m not mad at you at all. I have the utmost respect for you as the leader of our country. Like I said before and I’m not saying this to him directly, we should always get the details from the right source before we start throwing bricks.”
As for the reference to “comments” that Trump has made on the case is unclear, as there’s been essentially no mention of the Blake shooting by the White House as of August 26th. The only reference that can be mentioned of is President Trump urging the employment of the National Guard in Kenosha, which was deployed.

Democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers was quick to condemn the police about the shooting of Blake late on Sunday. Blake had been shot earlier in the day by police while responding to a domestic violence incident. Even though Evers didn’t have the complete details of the incident, he still criticized the police for the shooting.
Evers said:
“Tonight, Jacob Blake was shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kathy and I join his family, friends, and neighbors in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries.
While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hand of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.”

Evers added:
“And we stand against excessive use of force and immediate escalation when engaging with Black Wisconsinites. I have said all along that although we must offer our empathy, equally important is our action. In the coming days, we will demand just that of elected officials in our state who have failed to recognize the racism in our state and our country for far too long.”

The video of the shooting went viral online. It showed that something happened while police were engaged with Blake as they drew their weapons on him. According to Heavy.com, the police had an arrest warrant for Blake.
The Wisconsin Circuit Court records reveal that Jacob S. Blake who is the same age as the male, with the same address as the block where Blake was shot, had a warrant issued on July 7.
This warrant suspected Blake of misdemeanor criminal trespass to a dwelling with domestic abuse; felony third degree sexual assault with domestic abuse; and misdemeanor disorderly conduct with domestic abuse.

In 2015, the Racine Eye newspaper wrote a story about how:
“Racine police say K9 Dozer had to help officers take a man into custody when the man refused to go quietly into custody after he pulled a gun at a local bar.”
Jacob Blake was that man involved in both the incident in 2015 and on Sunday, August 23, 2020.
In the bar incident, Blake was charged with a felony count of resisting arrest causing a soft tissue injury to a police officer, and a misdemeanor count for carrying a concealed weapon, one count for carrying a firearm while intoxicated, endangering safety-use of a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct.
These charges were not found on the circuit court website.
The Daily Wire reported:
“The Kenosha Police Department released a statement following the shooting that said that officers were called to the 2800 block of 40th Street, which appears to be the same street that was listed on the arrest warrant that had been issued, to respond to a domestic incident. The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is investigating the incident.”

We are looking at this through the lens of civilized society. We can’t understand how blacks think it’s acceptable to kill/destroy everything/one that isn’t black. They have been brain washed over many generations that everyone that isn’t black is privileged and wants to keep them down, so in their mind, it’s perfectly acceptable for them to burn the country down to get their point across.

Revealed: Teen arrested and charged with murder in Kenosha – but was it a case of justified self-defense?
Posted by: Chris Elliot|August 26, 2020 |CategoriesEditorial, Featured, Must Reads

This editorial is brought to you by a staff writer for Law Enforcement Today.



KENOSHA, WI –Riots and chaos have taken grip in Kenosha, Wisconsin after police shot a criminal, Jacob Blake, several times as he was reaching into his vehicle while they were ordering him to stop.

Every night since the shooting, the town has been reduced to a war zone with buildings and vehicles lit on fire by members of Black Lives Matter and general thugs.

On the 25th, a teenager from Illinois, Kyle Rittenhouse, had traveled to Kenosha to assist in protecting property, reportedly armed with an AR-15. At some point, he opened fire, striking three people, killing two.

1598557776613.png

Police are not revealing much information as to what led up to the shooting and reporting on that particular part of the incident is scarce. However, thanks to someone who is identified on YouTube as towlie2110 lol, there is a clearer picture and sequence of events.


At the beginning, the individual who we all believe to be Rittenhouse is seen running as fast as he can from a man who is chasing him.

What we do not know is why the man was running after the teenager who had a long gun on him. However, it appears that Rittenhouse gets to a point that he may have felt threatened and begins to fire upon the man who was chasing him.

When the man goes down, Rittenhouse is seen backing up and getting on his cell phone.


In the video, you can hear people in the crowd tell others to get Rittenhouse as they are tending what appears as a deceased man.

Hearing this, Rittenhouse takes off on foot and tries to escape. In the next video, Rittenhouse is seen falling down in the middle of the street.


On video you can hear someone say “get his [expletive],” as a crowd of angry protesters are descended upon the teenager, on his back, with his long gun.

As soon as one of the protesters tries to strike Rittenhouse as another tries to hit him in the head with a skateboard, shots are fired. One man runs away, the other stumbles, drops the skateboard, and collapses.

Another protester starts to come and attack Rittenhouse, however, thinks better of it after the shots were fired and stops. Rittenhouse, with gun pointed at this man, does not fire as the man backs away.

A second later, the man goes to jump back in at Rittenhouse to strike him, who is still on the ground with no where to go, and Rittenhouse fires, striking him on what appeared to be his right elbow.

The man turns and runs away from Rittenhouse as has the majority of those who were trying to attack him. Rittenhouse stands up and begins to walk toward several police vehicles as several gunshots, not coming from him, are heard in the background.

Rittenhouse turns as if to address another lethal threat, sees there is not one there, and surrenders himself to the officers at the scene. Although no one, at this time, can say what led up to the first person charging after Rittenhouse, the events that happened afterwards could well be later determined to be self-defense.


The mainstream media have immediately painted this teenager in a bad light, and, have to agree, on initial reports it seemed like that was the case.

1598558141289.png

Media reporting are quick to point out that Rittenhouse admired police officers and obviously wanted to be one when he was old enough.

1598558245475.png

They brought up his now deleted Facebook Page with thin blue line insignia and how he spoke of the fallen law enforcement officers out of respect.

They even mentioned his time as a police cadet, and how he had a picture on Facebook while wearing a policy styled uniform. This is reminiscent of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman incident in 2012.

Zimmerman was never a police officer, and in fact, flunked out of the police academy when he tried to become one.

Zimmerman was a Hispanic man and the mainstream media made several false reports that Zimmerman was white and a police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black child, really was 17, in Sanford, Florida.

This complete and utter fabrication by the media caused civil unrest and rioting during the time and still comes up on occasion in the media.

It appears that the mainstream media is attempting to do the same with Rittenhouse.

Now, it is doubtful that any logical adult would think it wise for a 17-year-old to be armed with a long gun and allowed to be in that situation. However, someone allowed it, and, by all appearances on video, Rittenhouse was being attacked.

If that is the case, charges need to be brought up on whoever thought it was a good idea to place a teenager in that position, in the middle of the riot.

However, if it is also found true that Rittenhouse was being attacked and left no options, perhaps charging him with first-degree murder is not the right decision.

However, the police did obtain an arrest warrant for Rittenhouse for first-degree murder.

Rittenhouse was arrested by the same agency he was a police cadet for, the Antioch Police Department in Illinois. Rittenhouse is currently being held in a juvenile detention facility in Illinois.

No. YOU did. I am all for doing it your way - no cops, no courts, no judges, no jails or prisons.

just like there is no amount of training and reform that can teach someone that its wrong to rape a person and then, when you have been told to stay away from them, go to their home with your small children armed with a knife and then refuse to stop and put down your weapon when the police tell you to (and force them to taze you), but instead escalate the situation and walk away from them with the knife to your car to maybe get something else worse that could hurt them or any other people there, all with your children in the back seat so they can watch as you force them to shoot you seven times because you refused to be reasonable and put the weapon down?!

you mean, like THAT?!!!

Last night was pretty quiet, and Thunderstorms expected to roll through during evening hours may really lighten the crowd even more this evening.

I think the armed J6P's plus the info that the dude had a knife and it was a justified shoot has taken the exuberance out of their demeanor.
