Kenosha car dealership sustained $1.5M in damage after first night of dumb nigger riots, report says

[hamilton]

A Kenosha car dealership that was targeted Monday night during
protests-turned-riots in the Wisconsin city reportedly incurred
an estimated $1.5 million in damage as a result of the fires set
during the first night of unrest while local business owners
continue to grapple with the ongoing destruction.

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.

'MASSIVE FIRES' REPORTED

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.

“We’ve served a lot of people, been good to people, and this is
the thanks you get, so it’s sad,” said the owner, who was not
identified in the clip. "That is not protesting ... All this is
doing is bringing us to the brink of a Civil War."

SECOND NIGHT OF UNREST

Car Source was targeted again late Monday into Tuesday, along
with another car dealership and other businesses and properties,
according to social media posts.

The southeastern Wisconsin city became the nation's latest
flashpoint in a summer of racial unrest after cellphone footage
of the police shooting of Jacob Blake -- apparently shot in the
back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in
the vehicle -- circulated widely on social media Sunday. The 29-
year-old was hospitalized in serious condition as of Monday.

The shooting drew condemnation from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers,
who also called in 125 members of the National Guard on Monday
after protesters set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed
with officers in riot gear the previous night.

Police first fired tear gas Monday about 30 minutes after the 8
p.m. curfew took effect to disperse protesters who chanted, “No
justice, no peace” as they confronted a line of officers who
wore protective gear and stood shoulder-to-shoulder in front of
the courthouse entrance. But hundreds of people stuck around,
screaming at police and lighting fires, including to a garbage
truck near the courthouse.

Tensions had flared anew earlier Monday after a news conference
with Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian, originally to be held in a
park, was moved inside the city’s public safety building.
Hundreds of protesters rushed to the building and a door was
snapped off its hinges before police in riot gear pepper-sprayed
the crowd, which included a photographer from The Associated
Press.

Police in the former auto manufacturing center of 100,000 people
midway between Milwaukee and Chicago said they were responding
to a call about a domestic dispute when they encountered Blake
on Sunday. They did not say whether Blake was armed or why
police opened fire, released no details on the dispute and did
not immediately disclose the race of the three officers at the
scene.

The man who said he made the cellphone video, 22-year-old
Raysean White, said he saw Blake scuffling with three officers
and reportedly heard them yell, “Drop the knife! Drop the
knife!" before the gunfire erupted. He said he didn't see a
knife in Blake's hands.


The governor said he has seen no information to suggest Blake
had a knife or other weapon but that the case is still being
investigated by the state Justice Department.

The officers were placed on administrative leave, standard
practice in a shooting by police. Authorities released no
details about the officers and did not immediately respond to
requests for their service records.

Evers was quick to condemn the bloodshed, saying that while not
all details were known, “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.”
