500 Wisconsin National Guard Troops on Standby for Rittenhouse Verdict

Joshua Caplan 12 Nov 2021

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) has placed 500 Wisconsin National Guard troops on standby in Kenosha for the expected verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial next week amid concerns of possible violence.

Evers said in a statement:

Quote
We continue to be in close contact with our partners at the local level to ensure the state provides support and resources to help keep the Kenosha community and greater area safe. The Kenosha community has been strong, resilient, and has come together through incredibly difficult times these past two years, and that healing is still ongoing. I urge folks who are otherwise not from the area to please respect the community by reconsidering any plans to travel there and encourage those who might choose to assemble and exercise their First Amendment rights to do so safely and peacefully.

In a separate statement, Maj. Gen. Paul Knapp, Wisconsin’s adjutant general, said:

Quote
We stand ready to support our communities during times of need. In close coordination with the governor, we have assembled approximately 500 Soldiers to help keep the Kenosha community safe, should a request from our local partners come in.

How many Guard troops were on standby for the riot itself?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

But they're something like 50 miles and 1 1/2 hours away. They won't be able to react when needed unless they are moved a lot closer.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

There is a balance issue there. Their presence might provoke a riot as much as prevent one.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Same for police. But if they aren't in position to act,  the town's burned down before they get there. The Guard can be a lot closer than they are.

I am more interested in how many rounds issued to each National Guardsman.
