It is now late August, which marks the destructive riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the ripple effects it had on our country. A once quiet, blue-collar town was thrust into the national spotlight because a Kenosha police officer used justified force against a black man who was armed with a knife.
But because this happened in a post-George Floyd world, all logic and reason went out the window, and the far-left demanded the town must burn for the "racist" actions of Kenosha police. And burn it did, for days.
A town with a population of around 100,000 was not equipped to handle so many out-of-control residents, along with people coming in from Milwaukee and Chicago. That is why civilians decided to protect the town from the BLM rioters. It is why Kyle Rittenhouse was out there.
Three years later, leftists still can't help themselves but spread lies about the circumstances of that fateful night. This was exemplified by a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In it, they called the riot a "protest" and bemoaned how Rittenhouse "shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and wounded another man. Rittenhouse was not held accountable."
Three years ago today, at a protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse—who was openly carrying an AR-15-style rifle—shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and wounded another man. Rittenhouse was not held accountable.

As someone who was there for the incident in Kenosha, along with having covered the trial the following year, I had to make some corrections to the misleading statement.
Fixed your misleading post. https://t.co/0qWMCqmIEv pic.twitter.com/KuljxOEuZH

This is where we are in America. The law-abiding citizens are vilified, while the criminals are lauded as heroes. Everytown for Gun Safety posted how awful it was that Jacob Blake got shot...while in the process of kidnapping children.
It's been three years since Kenosha police shot and paralyzed Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black father, seven times in the back while his children watched.

Police violence is gun violence, and it's disproportionately killing and traumatizing too many Black men and boys. pic.twitter.com/D29hWg8yDe
It is no coincidence gun control groups are against Rittenhouse and his supporters. They want you disarmed when the violent mob comes to town. They do not care.
