They are now starting to get on Louisville cops for doing the same thing.
Some people are upset that the cops got their act together and actually
tried to stop the destruction on the second night.  Maybe the news just
didn't cover it, but I heard very little about anyone actually being
prosecuted for their involvement.

Wasn't Rittenhouse trying to put out a fire when he was initially attacked?

They should prosecute Gage then.  They are probably afraid to, though.

I drove through Kenosha in 2021 and luckily didn't come across much going
on, but I was there during times of day when there might not be.  I did
drive by a protest in a parking lot of a closed box store (Big Lots maybe)
one evening in Milwaukee.  The person doing the talking was trying to get
the crowd riled up but they seemed not to be buying in too much at that
point.  The night was young, though.

As I got stopped at the light in the intersection just past there, that was
the only time I felt a little uneasy during that trip, which included an
unplanned detour through downtown Chicago... south of the commercial area.
