All of us were now under now a state of emergency curfew. Get home and off the streets! gas stations ordered to close and turn OFF all gas pumps..
the sirens and alerts on all of our phones coming in non- stop.

So we pulled out every firearm we owned. Loaded them up. And started to get ready… We were not leaving… Jim’s job told him to stay home and protect his family and home. Everyone in the city was getting ready for a war.

Are you starting to feel anxiety reading this?

Getting a grasp of how desperate we all were?

Knowing no law enforcement was helping? And I’m telling you… NO ONE was there.

I have a dear friend who lives in Gurnee. Has a home and a buisness there, and if she called me and Jim and told me her city was under attack, she was afraid for her LIFE and her store … I would help her. We would go to Gurnee and help her. Armed.

And that’s simply what happened. The residents started to realize this was on us. And we organized. Groups and individuals-On rooftop businesses -in the neighborhoods. I felt a little safer that night knowing we had some help.

So we watched again that night …live. Beginning to end.

At the lakefront… there was a small police presence again, where our courthouse and Pd is…. but the PD was nowhere else in the city. It was just us left to fend for ourselves, watching live feed again, Listening to the scanners … lights off, house alarm armed. Curtains drawn – guns ready as we listened to where the rioters were, which way they were headed. Despite the state of emergency curfew the city was flooded with cars driving around with no plates on, groups of people destroying our city. Not enough police to arrest or stop not ONE SINGLE PERSON.

Until the guard came to help… the entire city was left to its own defenses.

Hell… we ran out of plywood to board up!!!

I had the crates ready to throw the animals in and run… guns at every window and door. Constantly texting neighbors and friends around the city for updates.

When we say, if you don’t live here, you could not possibly know what was going on.. do you now understand? How afraid the whole city was?

The national guard FINALLY was called out – and did not mess around. The people who terrorized and destroyed Kenosha were not from Kenosha. Of all the arrests… most were from 44 other city’s. After our IDIOT governor finally asked, we got the help we should have had from DAY ONE. We had FBI and all the surrounding PD’s come to our aid.

Prelude for the morning (perhaps evening) of November 4th.

Thats where I differ in opinion. Every floodlight on the house would be lit, my two light towers running to make it near daylight. Curtains would be pulled back, a couple shelters (heavy equipment) to take cover if needed, continuous patrols on the exterior of the house. Defend the exterior, dont hide and wait for them to come inside.
I know if I was insurgent and saw a house lit up like a stadium with visible armed guards I would find an easier target.

Soccer mom and Joe six pack need to start taking it seriously.

Don't know the totality of their circumstances, they called it as they saw it. No second guessing by me.

Better, few neighbors together defending the entrance to the whole neighborhood. With others patrolling secondary entrances.

A little bit yes and a little bit no.

In a normal setting I am an advocate for lights on at night. Under special circumstances going dark can be beneficial. If people are out roaming streets looking for victims, a lit up house shows that you are home. They will head there instead of checking every dark house looking for victims.

Also if you are lit up by bright lights and walking around the parameter on patrol, that means I can clearly see you and you cannot see me at all. I could be feet away or 10 of us could be, and you would never see us. Your eyes are not adjusted to do so. You could easily be taken out and you'd never see it coming.

I’m basically there and my city has not been flooded with criminals.

Same. I have 150w dimmable floods surrounding the house, 9 of them. Id be lights on outside, off inside. We can see them, they can't see us.
