Local business owners in Kenosha, Wisconsin are struggling to come to terms with the violence and destruction laying waste to their livelihoods.
A 71-year-old business owner suffered significant injuries from “mostly peaceful” protesters defying curfew last night in Kenosha.
Rioters proclaiming themselves victims are seen leaving the man bloodied and broken afterward. The footage is disturbing and further counters the narrative promoted by the liberal media in the wake of numerous fiery clashes.

Rioters nearby turned their attention to another car dealership, after causing millions in property damage the night before. Armed citizens donning tactical gear and carrying firearms dissuaded them.

However, others were not so lucky.
Fox News further reports:
The owners of Car Source in Kenosha told local affiliate FOX 6 Milwaukee the business suffered $500,000 in property damage plus between $900,000 and $1 million in inventory damage during the first night of civil unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man.
More than 50 cars were reported to have been damaged in the early Monday morning blaze, according to the outlet.
Prior to the destruction, Car Source — which had a sign that read “Black Lives Matter” hanging at the dealership — had more than 140 vehicles available for sale, according to its website.
Another local business, Dale’s Jewelry, lost $200,000 worth of jewelry and incurred another $200,000 in property damage, the owner told FOX 6.
The owner of Dale’s Jewelry, who was unidentified in the clip, said “That is not protesting … All this is doing is bringing us to the brink of a Civil War.” What do you think? As always, share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

Some how these protesters seem to seek out and find people and business that have nothing to do with what they are protesting and then they hurt them! They are only trading HATE for HATE!
If the protest was peaceful, Why do they hurt People? If the Protest is Peaceful,Why do they burn down Businesses? Time to Fight back Peacefully— Take them Out.
your absolutely right. A well trained vigilante group will take out a half dozen BLM scum and you will see it all stop because they are cowards and cowards can’t fight
Yes, the only way a total COWARD will fight is if he has a whole crowd behind him. One on one and he gets hurt every time. If he has you out numbered 15 to 1, then they are SO BRAVE.
15 to 1 and he’s an old man! They wouldn’t fight one on one or even three on one. These “peaceful protestors” are waking a sleeping giant. They’re going to hurt the wrong person then they’re going to unleash a fury they’re too stupid to believe exists.
They can only run in and hit someone in the back and run! Plus they work in packs, cowards!
This was ……….NOT a 1stA protest.
THIS …IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM
We are armed and ready where I live.
Protest ? yes, Loot and destroy ? You won’t make it home if I see you.
Where I live too! The first rock will be answered with gunfire.
Seams they target places that they can steal what they want. Then ruin the business that are needed for their own neighbors.
I would bet that a lot of them are not from that neighborhood or even that town. These people are just waiting for an excuse to do what they do.
I believe they are mostly hired by the likes of George Soros. He has tried to over throw the government of every country he lives in.
really quite simple..The commies KNOW where the democrats run things..So, why would any person with a SINGLE functioning brain cell wonder why the chaos occurs in those places.. The “crazed lunatics” feel perfectly safe when a democrat is in power. I can Guarantee that crap won’t happen in my city..We have a strong “stand your ground law” and a republican gov. If “they” come here they will likely leave in body bags !
Perhaps it’s time for some good old vigilantism?
It’s NOT vigilantism when you are DEFENDING your OWN lives and property!! It’s called “SELF DEFENSE”!!
I guess ya had better start shooting those idiots. Defend yourselves.
Nothing will appease them. They are just violent opportunists who hate White people. So yeah….take them out.
Many of them are white people! But all people bleed red!
American Lives Matter Most!
Skin color has NOTHING to do with stupid ! In all my years of combat (usmc retired E-8) ,I cannot recall a single time when I was engaged in discussion with someone who was assaulting me (or my unit) !
Black Hoods and white socialists–need to cut that population down–and arrest those who finance them.
It’s time to start putting those peaceful protesters in body bags.
Shoot Looters!
Kenosha, Wisconsin Cops are cowards!
This is what the Democrats want for the United States. Wake up people what are you going to be in ANTIFA OR BLM comes for you? You don’t have to do anything just be alive they don’t care. Everything they say is a lie. It’s it funny how the Democrats won’t say one word about anything that’s going on in our Cities. Their happy about it. They really think people are going to vote for Joe not happening.
Joe is a puppet for the socialistic heads like Pelosi and Schumer. Just watch, they will not rest until they are in power and we are their slaves. Do you realize that if the mail in ballots go through, that when they have such a mix up the ballots cannot determine who wins the election by Jan. 20, Pelosi takes over until they do? If that happens, you can bet there will never be an accurate count. Check it out and pass the word. We cannot allow mail in ballots.
Not true! Pelosi’s term is over on 01/03/2021. Trump’s is over on 01/20/2021. Do you really think Pelosi will be re-elected and if you do, how can her votes be tabulated before Trump’s? I do remember reading that Grassley would step in, but I can not remember the reason why it would be him.
AND since when have the rats followed the rules? Now its starting to make sense, all the BS about having the military get OUR President OUT! IF the count does NOT go their way and any fraud proven, military should be there to KEEP HIM IN! And want to dump the E/College? HMMMMMMMM THINK LONG AND HARD FOLKS!
TOO late in CA, newscum has RULED we cannot vote in person! Mailed to us Oct 5 and we are to sign and drop in boxes he has deemed OK. NO won will answer who and where the counting will take place. I called and got a very nasty so called lady. WOULD NOT ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTION! ONLY REPEAT what SHE HAD SAID! DROP IN BOX SHOWN ON BALLOT. IT IS OUR RIGHT TO KNOW WHERE AND WHO IS DOING THE COUNTING! I BELIEVE the nat/guard or other military should be there 24/7 while any counting is done! Also should have same number of each party counting. FRAUD has begun. NO TALLY till all OVER SEAS military count in and counted. Watch this setup, rats have made a mess and will draw the TOTALs out so nasty nancy would be put in. GOD help use, biden, the K, or piggy. as BAD as KILLERY!
WE TRUE Americans see the writing on the wall, WE ARE NOT DUMB! PLANNED PANDEMIC come to mind?
It is time to follow to where they roost. flatten tires of their transportation. Set fires on their vehicles. Roast them out while they sleep all day. Get on the roofs of the businesses and fight back. There is kinds of ways to fight back. When they are by themselves, they are weak. Capture them and imprison them.
First if you catch that them , beat living hell out of them that wqy they will learn what punishment really feels like!
At some point regular citizens – black, white, brown – will start confronting violence with violence. It will not be pretty.
BLM, BURN, MURDER, LOOT, AT THEIR BEST!
AND ALL THIS IS SO WE RESPECT THEM, OR WHAT GIVE THEM EVERY AND ANYTHING THEY WANT? LOOT, BURN, HURT OTHERS AND WE GIVE YOU WHAT YOU THINK YOU DESERVE. I think you may get away with it to a point, then rat rule or not there will be BIG PAY BACK and won’t be pretty!
The tide will turn
First I want to say I am disgusted by the rioters and their destroying businesses in the cities they wantonly attack including the car dealership in Kenosha. And I believe that car dealership had “Black Lives Matter” displayed on his marquee. How did that work out for you? You cannot appease anarchists, especially ones who are paid to rile up the mob and spread destruction. Ask that stupid highest ranking NYC uniformed cop who kneeled before the BLM mob and then later they beat the heck out of him.
Effing animals! ANIMALS that should be locked up for life…Patriotic Americans arm yourselves, it’s WAR!!!!
From many I have heard there is a back load for many guns and ammo. Some stores are almost sold out! Waiting lines…………….. Its not gonna be pretty!
We are seeing mad dogs destroy civil society. A civil society shoots mad dogs.
these people are idiots that do not know that they are slaves to the democrats and news media they are being lead around like dogs and tricked into supporting the violence that these people are doing having no thought about who they are hurting
BUT THE PAY must be good, or is for free drugs?
I’ll say it again…..
Need to start leaving these violent A-Holes in the street !!!
Drop them where they stand!!!
CWP….Get it now!!!
Defend yourselves, your livelihoods, and ultimately your American way of life!!!
Have any of you (Black, Brown or White) stopped to ask what reason the man was shot for? MAYBE, just Maybe he was going after a gun or ??? Why can’t this wanton destruction at LEAST wait for a possible answer?
YOU ALL ARE GOING TO SH** WHEN TRUMP TELLS THE GUARD TO START SHOOTING RIOTING A@@HOLES.
As the saying goes, from your lips to God s ears. BUT keep may people safe. as they are just watchers I have heard? Many dressed as PRESS, be very wary.
cv
These riots have nothing to do with social protest. They have everything to do with looting and thieving. I do not know about a civil war, but the rioting must be stopped.
The ONLY way to stop this $h!t is to start killing those RIOTING and LOOTING THUGS!!!
Defend YOUR livelihoods, property and lives!!
I agree, but these low lifes will have many dirty attys ready to file suit!
That, the demon(c)rats think that ‘The Turducken-candidate’ is actually fooling anyone? Really…how dumb do you have to be? Vote for Joe get Bernie! Feel ‘the bern’ beech! Socialism comes in strange packages…
It’s fkg time for war with these domestic terrorists, What the hell is peaceful with rioting,destroying,burning,looting innocent people’s busineses, lively hoods, and injuring people trying to save their business. If law enforcement won’t do their job, and the GovernorT. Evers stands with the terrorists, this jackass has to go. if he won’t do his job, he doesn’t belong in the job. It’s time to recall Evers and any other dumbocrap mayors or governors that are spineless and let’s this behavior go on. If people have to start their own militias, to stop this, so be it. but it won’t be a pretty sight. This is lawless obama crap, that is going on, and it will end one way or another.
Time for small business to band together, share arms, etc & defend selves etc
Read once where groups stood strong & BLM left even with some gunfire too
IT can be done
They are paid marxist terrorist! In most cases the city or state officials are paid by the Marxist and choose to do nothing. People need to go after the officials in charge who have joined forces with the enemy. They have openly showed there desire to destroy America. At all cost they need to be removed locked up, held accountable and punished by law to the max. It should be done immediately. It is past time for Americans to shoot back.
Time to bust a cap on these idiots who own nothing, don’t work and are ticks on the working man’s butt.
