Federal law enforcement stops and seizes truck loaded with supplies for Kenosha protestors

Federal law enforcement stops and seizes truck loaded with supplies for Kenosha protestors 1

KENOSHA, WI – The feds have had enough.  Now they’re starting to make busts of those supplying the rioters in Wisconsin.

Almost a week ago, Jacob Blake, a man wanted in connection to a rape, was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Blake, admitted that he was armed with a knife to investigators after the shooting, yet protests and riots commenced that left the city looking like a war zone. 

For some reason, a church, the Zao MKE church, thought it was a great idea to supply the rioters food and snacks.  But the truck they used to deliver it was just seized by federal authorities.

In Kenosha, riots, looting, and arson had become an every night occurrence and many historical buildings were lost in acts of arson.

Business owners were beaten because they dared to defend their property, and yet, ignorant people still believe and maintain that Black Lives Matter and other people in that area are ‘peacefully protesting.’ 

President Donald Trump recently deployed federal forces to the area in order to restore calm.  As a result, the nightly riots have seem to have ended, but there are still many who would do violence if given the opportunity.

The Reverend Jonah Overton, of the Zao MKE Church, for whatever reason, thought it was a great idea to provide those in the crowd supplies to keep going. 

And, shockingly enough, they cannot understand why federal authorities seized the shipment and arrested the occupants of the U-Haul truck.

Think of it this way, if Joe Blow Dirtbag is getting ready to give up his decimation campaign of said city, but, with new supplies begins again, is it a good idea to give he and his companions a renewed reason to fight? 

The answer would be no. 

Let us stop the issue and let the Blake shooting investigation play out in court, where it belongs.

However, Overton said that they “happily loaded it up [the U-Haul truck] with what we had.” 

Why anyone would “happily” load up a truck to be sent to a group of people that has caused millions of dollars’ worth of damage to a city is beyond logic. 

Why would anyone believe that giving militants anything that helps to enable them to exact more carnage is beyond comprehension. 

It certainly is not a Christian based mission, for the bible says in Romans 13:1, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.”

The Milwaukee based church says that they are aware of the seized supplies and the arrest of the two people that tried to provide them, however, they have be given no explanation as to why the shipment was intercepted. 

Although, there should be no need to explain why the shipment was intercepted, WISN 12 News did ask the Kenosha Police Chief why the $1,000 worth of food, drinks, and snacks were intercepted instead of being allowed to be given to those that have destroyed the city. 

Police Chief Daniel Miskinis said that he was not aware of the seizure.

For some reason, this church is demanding answers as to why their shipment of supplies to those people who have been destroying the town was seized. 

The simple answer, although they will not accept it, is because that shipment would enable more property damage and/or violence.

Overton argues that their shipment provided food, snacks, Gatorade, water, fire extinguishers, and band-aids. 

Why he would think that people that are intentionally setting buildings on fire would want fire extinguishers is curious. 

However, maybe the band aids could be used for the people that the protesters and rioters beat up.

Overton said:

“I have no idea how the police could interpret water, Gatorade, bags of chips and fire extinguishers as a threat.  And the fact that even after seeing all of that they confiscated it and continued to proceed to arrest the driver and passenger is absolutely beyond me.” 

Maybe, just maybe, Overton needs to worry more about preaching the word of God instead of supplying those that are committing crimes. 

KENOSHA, WI –The documented criminal, Jacob Blake, who was shot several times by Kenosha Police has posted bail while in the hospital and has been released from custody.

Blake was being held in handcuffs at the hospital where he is recovering from the shooting since he was in custody for criminal charges involving a rape.  Recently, Blake posted bond from his bedside and has been released from custody.

According the New York Times, the incident surrounding the rape charges stemmed from Blake entering the home of a former friend and raping her. 

The rape victim in that case apparently identified Blake as the alleged attacker and said that he stole her car and debit car after she was raped. 

While Blake was in custody, his family and legal team complained that he was handcuffed to the bed. 

They did not see a reason why he should be because he is now paralyzed from the waist down and could not go anywhere without assistance. 

The argument was probably that he could not run so why handcuff him, the answer is simple, because he was under arrest. 

And part of being in custody while in a hospital bed is being handcuffed to it. 

The main reason behind this is the safety of anyone whom he encounters, after all, he is known to be violent and has two good arms, and, the big reason, it is policy.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office released a statement on August 28th regarding Blake, stating:

“The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office with the hospital watch for much of this period [while Blake was in custody]. 

MCSO worked very closely with the hospital and Mr. Blake’s legal team to ensure a safe and dignified environment for Mr. Blake, consistent with best law enforcement and hospital practices for security and visitation.

“Earlier today, Mr. Blake posted the bond underlying the arrest warrant, enabling his release from custody. 

The hospital watch was discontinued immediately after receiving this information from Kenosha authorities.” 

Earlier reports give the impression that the charges in the arrest warrants have been vacated, that is not accurate.  While the warrants themselves were vacated, that simply means they are no longer active because they have been served and he posted bail. 

Patrick Cafferty, Blake’s attorney, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the criminal case against Blake were still ongoing.  Cafferty said:

“The charges are still pending and we will be dealing with those.”   

There has been nothing released as to what Blake’s plans are since he is now free awaiting trial.

On August 23rd, police were called to a home in Kenosha because of a domestic disturbance involving Blake.  A woman at the scene said that Blake was no longer welcome at the residence and he had refused to leave. 

At some point during the investigation, officers attempted to take Blake into custody, either because of the disturbance or his several active warrants.  Blake fought with the officers, forcing one of them to attempt to tase him.  The Taser was ineffective, and he got up and walked to his driver’s side door.

Officers gave him several loud verbal commands to stop and he refused all of them.  Blake continued walking, opened up his driver’s side door causing an officer to grab him by the shirt to stop him from entering.  Blake continued to refuse and reached down toward the driver’s side floorboard at which point the officer opens fire. 

The Wisconsin Department of Justice released a statement regarding the incident, saying, “officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2800 block of 40th Street after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.

“During the incident, officers attempted to arrest Jacob S Blake, age 29.  Law enforcement deployed a taser to attempt to stop Mr. Blake.  Mr. Blake walked around his vehicle, opened the driver’s side door, and leaned forward.” 

The DOJ also reported:

“During the investigation following 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.”

Murderer? Or scared kid fighting for his life? Here’s what we know about the 17-year-old Kenosha “vigilante” so far.

KENOSHA,WI- Following the shooting of Jacob Blake, many cities expected “protests”, AKA rioting, however, none were prepared for what took place in Kenosha. 

On Tuesday, August 25th, authorities confirmed three people were shot, two fatally, in Kenosha as Wisconsin City was overtaken by unrest in its streets. 

According to NBCChicago, at around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, officers responded to the area of 63rd and Sheridan Road for reports of a shooting, Kenosha police said in a statement.

The shooting left two people dead, and another wounded. The wounded victim is said to have non-life threatening injuries. 

At the time, police did not reveal any information, but made note that they knew of video footage related to the shooting, and urged anyone with further evidence to reach out to police. 

On Wednesday, August 26th, after issuing an arrest warrant, a teenage suspect was taken into custody in Lake County, IL, in connection with the shooting. It is reported that the suspect, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse is facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide charges.

[embedded content]

According to Antioch police, the suspect, identified as a 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, is currently in the custody of the Lake County Judicial System and is awaiting his extradition hearing to transfer him from Illinois to Wisconsin.

There are still many things that are uncertain about Rittenhouse, but here is what we do know. 

Rittenhouse lived with his mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, a single mom and nurse’s assistant, in a quiet apartment complex in Antioch. Since Rittenhouse was identified as the gunman, Antioch police stationed vehicles inside the apartment complex of his listed home address, allowing only residents to enter.

Rittenhouse, a highschool drop out, most recently worked as a part-time lifeguard at a YMCA, before being furloughed in March.

According to the Washington Post, Jim McKay, the superintendent for the school district that includes Antioch, said in a statement to The Post that Rittenhouse attended Lakes Community High School for a semester in the 2017-18 school year and did not re-enroll in either local high school afterward. 

Rittenhouse is an outspoken Pro-Police and Pro-Trump supporter, who continually posted positive things for both on his social media. He also participated in cadet programs with both the Antioch Fire Department and the Grayslake Police Department. According to a description on their website, which has since been deleted, the police cadet programs offers participants from ages 14 to 21 “the opportunity to explore a career in law enforcement” through ride-alongs with officers on patrol and firearms training.

A video has surfaced in the light of the shooting, of Rittenhouse sitting in the front row of a Trump rally in Des Moines in January, however, the Trump administration has released a statement confirming they do not support Rittenhouse’s actions. 

Spokesman Tim Murtaugh told The Post on Wednesday August 26th:

“This individual had nothing to do with our campaign,

“and we fully support our fantastic law enforcement for their swift action in this case.”

In a video that was posted on Twitter, Rittenhouse is carrying his AR-15, along with a medical kit, and proclaims that people are getting injured, and it is his job to run into harms way to help people. 

According to NBCChicago5, Lake County State’s Attorney spokesman Lee Filas confirmed that a person by the same name appeared in bond court Wednesday morning regarding “being a fugitive from justice from Wisconsin” and was ordered held without bond. Filas could not immediately confirm that it was the same suspect.

Mayor Lawrence Hanson said in a statement:

“Our Village of Antioch is deeply saddened by all loss of life. Our hearts and prayers extend to the friends and family who lost a loved one,”

Anyone who has seen the viral video can hear shots being fired in the streets. Witnesses discovered a man with a gunshot wound to the head, and are seen carrying him to a hospital.

A separate video shows an armed man, appearing to be Rittenhouse, sitting on the ground with a crowd around him opening fire, shooting several people.

Rittenhouse was not the only one seen in pictures carrying a weapon on August 25th, as pictures surfaced of many others carrying long guns as well. 

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth spoke with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, saying that people believed to be in a “militia” or “vigilante group” have been patrolling the streets at night, although it is not known if Rittenhouse was a part of that group.

According to a social media post, the self proclaimed “Kenosha Guard” created a post earlier that day urging:

“Any patriots willing to take up arms and defend [our] City tonight from the evil thugs?”

The group later boasted that it had more than 3,000 RSVPs and planned to take to the streets on Tuesday. 

The post spoke directly to Kenosha Police Chief Daniel Miskinis, saying:

“I ask that you do NOT have your officers tell us to go home under threat of arrest as you have done in the past,

“We are willing to talk to KPD and open a discussion. It is evident, that no matter how many Officers, deputies, and other law enforcement officers that are here, you will still be outnumbered.”

On Wednesday, August 26th, the group responded to the shooting that took place, saying it was not certain if Rittenhouse was one of the thousands that responded to their call to arms, saying:

“We are unaware if the armed citizen was answering the Kenosha Guard Militia’s call to arms, 

“Just like with the shooting of Jacob Blake, we need all the facts and evidence to come out before we make a judgement.”

The mayhem continued long into the night as protesters destroyed the city and attacked police officers once again. An official riot was declared, however these “protesters” did not disperse quietly, but rather continued on with their destruction and violence. 

Revealed: Teen arrested and charged with murder in Kenosha – but was it a case of justified self-defense?

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.

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.

 [embedded content]

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. 

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

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.

Violent Kenosha protesters burn American flag, shout “kill the f-ing police” and “death to America”

KENOSHA, WI – Riots continue to rage in Kenosha in the aftermath of an officer-involved shooting of knife-wielding, wanted criminal Jacob Blake.

Since the shooting Sunday, Kenosha has exploded with violence and destruction, with massive fires, property damage, vicious assaults, and murder.

The riots show no signs of stopping, and, if anything, the violent actors appear to be doubling down, targeting their hate not only against police but against this country as well.

Townhall reporter Julio Rosas was on scene at the Kenosha riots last night and shared video of violent actions and prevailing sentiments on the part of the “protesters.”

In one video depicting people marching, a woman can be seen shrieking:

“Kill the f***ing police!  Kill them back!  Kill them back for taking us!” 

In his next upload, Rosas showed an American flag set afire to a chorus of whoops and cries of “Yeah!”

A woman can be heard screaming:

“Death to America!”

The burning flag can be seen flung over a protective fence around Kenosha County Courthouse while one rioter kicks the fence.

The next video shows rioters kicking, pushing and throwing themselves at the swaying fence.

Rosas’ next upload shows rioters screaming expletives and throwing projectiles at law enforcement stationed behind the fence, protecting the courthouse.

The night took an explosive turn as rioters hurled fireworks at law enforcement.

Even after being driven back by police, the rioters appeared undeterred in their efforts to injure police and National Guard with fireworks.

Confrontations between rioters and armed citizens protecting businesses ensued, with one woman shouting:

“You guys are f***ing Klan!  All they ass is f***ing Klan!”

Circumstances suggest that lessening of the violence isn’t likely any time soon, even though Jacob Blake’s family has requested that demonstrations be non-violent.

Indeed, it appears that those who speak for BLM’s presence in Kenosha may want nothing short of the dismantling of police departments as a response to the riots. 

Karissa Lewis, national field director of Movement for Black Lives, called the Blake shooting:

“Yet another example of why activists have called for defunding police departments.”

Lewis told ABC News:

“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.”

Activist Shaun King added in a tweet regarding Kenosha:

“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.”

Local officials do not seem to be too keen on supporting the police while waiting for all the facts of the Blake case to be known.

Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said after the shooting:

“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.”

Evers declined offers for additional law enforcement assistance with the riots, instead asking for additional help for COVID matters.

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes echoed these sentiments, saying:

“And let me be clear, this was not an accident. This wasn’t bad police work. This felt like some sort of vendetta being taken out on a member of our community.”

Barnes added:

“But the irony isn’t lost on me that Jacob Blake was actually trying to de-escalate a situation in his community, but the responding officer didn’t feel the need to do the same.”

Barnes went on to say:

“As I’ve said before, as we’ve all said before, this is familiar violence to too many of us, especially those of us who are on the receiving end, whose communities have been over-policed.

“If we don’t do anything, this will continue. That’s why we have to respond.”

As we previously reported, on a national level, Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden was quick to condemn police but made no similar condemnation of Kenosha’s violent rioters.

Violence. Arson. Explosions. Anarchy.

Death threats to police … and in shouted words reminiscent of foreign terrorists, death threats to America.

With local and national support for law and order lacking, and riots continuing unabated, the future does not look good for Kenosha.

Here is our previous report on some of the heinous violence in Kenosha:

KENOSHA, WI – As Kenosha explodes in anarchy after police shot an armed criminal who had resisted arrest, the violence in the city is hitting levels that can only be described as shocking.

On Monday night, an elderly man was attacked while trying to put the fire out inside his charitable business.

On August 25, a video was uploaded to social media showing the burning area of what was once known as Kenosha, Wisconsin.  This area, like Seattle, Portland, and many others, has been turned into something that looks like a war zone.

The video shows people running, shouting, and breaking windows. It also shows one lone elderly man coming through the smoke carrying a fire extinguisher. The woman who is recording the video says:

“This poor man got his house, business caught on fire.” 

The business she was referring to has been identified as the Danish Brotherhood Lodge, #14. 

Its website describes itself as:

“An organization dedicated to charitable endeavors both locally and nationally. We strive to provide our members a place of belonging, security, and support. … Our organization is dedicated to both growing and developing our membership and providing scholarships for future generations to advance their education. … We encourage the public to join us in our mission to better the community around us!” 

Sounds like a good place to target, right?

The video shows that the woman who is recording obviously feels bad and keeps telling the elderly man:

“I’m sorry sir, I’m sorry sir, I’m very sorry about that man.” 

The elderly man says, “Yeah right,” then she tells him that she had nothing to do with it.

The video shows the elderly man walking with the fire extinguisher and trying to put the flames out. While doing so, someone from the crowd begins throwing and hitting him with bottles. 

With little to defend himself, he turns the fire extinguisher on the assailant, forcing the assailant away from him, then returns to trying to put out the fire.

The video then shows what appears to be people fleeing from inside the charitable organization, perhaps after looting. 

The elderly man is able to chase a couple of them off with the fire extinguisher, then returns to the front of the store. While his back is turned, some cowardly thug runs up and punches him (or strikes him with something) with his left hand. 

The cowardly thug is dressed in a black shirt and black shorts.

The cowardly thug flees as the woman recording keeps yelling “No!” and runs to the elderly man’s aid as he collapses on the ground. People rush to assist him, bleeding from his head, while a crowd starts to form.

The woman who is recording starts yelling that the elderly man did not “deserve any of this.”  She continues:

“This is just wrong guys. Do you not see this? This is wrong. This is what’s gonna happen to every one of you … please guys.”

The woman’s pleas are answered by a member of the crowd of criminal looters and rioters, who says that beating the elderly man is them “trying to protect ourselves.”  The member continues:

“You don’t understand what terrifies these black men out here, they not making it home to their families. Understand, respect, how about that? It’s called respect.”

According to a tweet from @Simulation Warlord, tthe victim was approximately 70 years of age and suffered a black eye and broken jaw from the attack. However, Law Enforcement Today cannot confirm this information.

LET has attempted to call and email the Danish Brotherhood Lodge. So far, there has been no response to our attempts.
