| Julia Jackson, Jacob Blake's mother, is making the most profound and wise remarks I think I've ever heard. I think his father spoke also, but I missed it. They're giving an update on his medical status, too. edit: Jacob is paralyzed. As soon as it's available online, I'll post it. -------------------------------- When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden - Minnie Aumônier

| quote: The video is disturbing to say the least.
I just watched it. There is no, no, no justification for that shooting. A few of his mother's comments: quote: "My son has been fighting for his life and we just really need prayers," Jackson said. "As I was riding through here, through the city, I noticed a lot of damage. That doesn't reflect my son or my family.
"We need healing," she said. "As I pray for my son's healing physically, emotionally and spiritually, I also have been praying even before this for the healing of our country." I will say a prayer for her son, and for her, for her family, and yes, for our country. I want this to stop happening. |

| quote: Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with shooting three people — two of them fatally — during a Kenosha protest Tuesday evening, thought of himself as a militia member trying to protect life and property, according to videos, interviews and social media posts.
Video shot in the hours before the shooting shows Rittenhouse, who introduced himself as Kyle, hanging out with older armed men. They say they're protecting a car lot.
Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Ill., also did a video interview with the Daily Caller in front of a boarded up building.
"People are getting injured and our job is to protect this business," Rittenhouse says in the clip. "And my job also is to protect people. If someone is hurt, I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle; I’ve gotta' protect myself, obviously. But I also have my med kit." https://www.jsonline.com/story...-militia/5634532002/ -------------------------------- When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden - Minnie Aumônier

| What’s the deal with the cops? Is there an investigation? Have they been arrested? Or are they on leave pending the result? Have they come out with their story? -------------------------------- If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

| quote: Kenosha police added that the officers involved were placed on administrative leave as authorities investigate, noting that the Wisconsin DOJ's aim is to provide a report of the incident to a prosecutor within 30 days, at which point the prosecutor would make a determination about what charges, if any, are appropriate. https://www.nbcchicago.com/new...s-for-peace/2329041/I don't think they can afford to take 30 days. -------------------------------- When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden - Minnie Aumônier

| Just heard on the news that state law requires that the agency that was responsible for the shooting step aside from the investigation. That's passed along to an outside agency. No details beyond that. -------------------------------- When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden - Minnie Aumônier

| quote: Wisconsin state Representative David Bowen said he saw white supremacists in Kenosha on Tuesday evening "vandalizing" and attacking demonstrators....
"What I saw last night was a number of individuals riding around in pickup trucks that clearly were white supremacists," the Wisconsin lawmaker said. "They were armed. They were destroying property. They were vandalizing vehicles, including mine, including other protesters' [vehicles]. They were there to agitate and hurt protesters."
Bowen said he has been asked why he and others will keep protesting, despite the violence. He said he will continue to do so "because we cannot allow anyone to take away our constitutional right to transform this system and advocate for what it needs to change into."....
Kenosha County Supervisor Andy Berg said in an interview with CNN that the far-right group the American Patriots Brigade organized and brought in people from outside the city. "We didn't ask them to come here. We don't need them here," Berg said.
"A lot of the destruction happening is not from people of Kenosha. It's people coming in," he said. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...-BB18oU7k?li=BBnbcA1 -------------------------------- When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden - Minnie Aumônier

| I am a boy from the Midwest. Brookfield Wisconsin, White Bear Lake Minnesota, Duluth, Gilbert Minnesota. I have been to Kenosha but it’s been a very long time and I’m having a very hard time understanding how this could possibly happen in Kenosha. Nothing ever happens in Kenosha. But here we are. People in Kenosha don’t do this sort of thing, except it’s obvious that they do. Very sad. -------------------------------- Life is short. Play with your dog.
