The Real Crime in Kenosha
It’s injustice from top to bottom in Kenosha, and it’s provoked by the media.

The media crime syndicate strikes again, targeting a teenager and creating mayhem in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Will they pay a price? Doubtful.
Kenosha, Wisconsin, a mid-sized midwestern town on the west side of Lake Michigan, has around 99,000 residents. There are family-owned restaurants and businesses and neighbors know one another. Kenosha is about five minutes from the Illinois border. It’s two hours to Chicago or Madison and 45 minutes to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Like New York and New Jersey, lots of people who work in Wisconsin live in Illinois and vice versa. Kyle Rittenhouse was one of those people. His divorced parents lived within 30 minutes of one another — his mom in Antioch, Illinois, his dad in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Kyle worked in Kenosha. He had friends and family in Kenosha. His situation is not at all unusual.
A wife abuser and alleged rapist in town, Jacob Blake, was harassing his victim, and attempting to take her child in her vehicle. She called police. The police knew Jacob. When they got there and confronted him, Jacob reached into his vehicle, grabbed a knife, and was then shot by a police officer.
The story the media ran with? That police shot an unarmed, innocent black man, again. It was not true that Jacob was innocent. It was not true that he was unarmed. The media used lies to incite frustrated Americans. All hell broke loose. This was in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Tensions were high. The media stoked them with misinformation and anti-police propaganda.
