FRSO banner there, Chapman&#8217;s CPAC people there, also NAARPR. Perhaps 130 people?<\/p>\n<p>The (national guard?) pulled up in 3-4 hum-vees\/troop carriers at the end of march just before 7pm. One tall thin older white guy positioned himself in from of the convoy &#8212; the demonstration organizers artfully defused the situation. These were canvass covered troop carriers with perhaps 4-6 troops per truck &#8212; men visible through the open to air back ends. I went home, honoring the impending curfew &#8212; the bulk of the crowd seemed to be gathering in front of the Municipal building again.<\/p>\n<p>Many boarded up windows at gas stations, small biz, and major gov blgs. A couple of burned up blgs. Some artful graffiti on the particle board. We had passed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rieH37R7kz8&amp;t=1320s\">used car lot<\/a> filled with entirely burned up cars!<\/p>\n<p>My hunch or impression is that Kenosha is damaged and vulnerable. The protestors quieted down as we past the burned out used car lot &#8212; sobering.
