In the aftermath of the non-fatal shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old African-American man, unrest occurred in Kenosha, Wisconsin and elsewhere as part of the larger Black Lives Matter movement[3] and reactions to high-profile killings by police officers in 2020. Armed civilian counter-protesters, described as vigilantes,[4] have also been present.[5]

On August 25, a person shot three protesters, killing two of them. An Illinois resident has been arrested and charged with intentional homicide, recklessly endangering safety of others and illegal possession of a weapon.

Background

Main article: Shooting of Jacob Blake

Jacob Blake is an African-American man who was shot in the back during an arrest by police officer Rusten Sheskey.[6][7] The incident occurred in Kenosha on August 23, 2020, as police officers were attempting to arrest Blake. Blake was unsuccessfully tasered.[8] He was shot after he opened the door to his SUV and reached into the vehicle.[9] He is paralyzed from the waist down, but is expected to survive.[10] He was handcuffed to the hospital bed despite his condition.[11][12]

Events in Kenosha

Day 1: August 23

A state of emergency was declared for the county starting at 10:15 p.m., and garbage trucks were used to block 56th Street. Starting at 11:05 p.m., police began using tear gas and rubber bullets in an attempt to disperse crowds, which lasted throughout the night.[13][14] Near midnight, the crowd lit a small fire in front of a ground-floor window of the Kenosha County Courthouse[13] and at least three garbage trucks and a trolley car were lit on fire.[13][14]

By 2:30 a.m., a truck in a used car dealership along Sheridan Road was lit on fire. The fire spread to most of the 100 other cars on the lot, damaging an entrance sign for the nearby Bradford Community Church (it did not spread to the church building itself).[14][15] Businesses in the western portion of downtown were torched and looted in the later hours before dawn.[16] Along with many downtown businesses, buildings surrounding Civic Center Park, including the post office, Reuther High School, the Kenosha County Administration Building, and the Dinosaur Discovery Museum all sustained damage to their front windows and entrance foyers.[17]

Police scanners stated that a Lenco BearCat armored personnel carrier was damaged by protestors, and a video posted by a local newspaper appeared to show an officer being knocked down with a brick.[18][19]

Day 2: August 24

Peaceful demonstrations were held during the day.[20]

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers activated the Wisconsin National Guard to protect firefighters and critical infrastructure in Kenosha.[21] The ACLU of Wisconsin strongly opposed the move.[22]

The county announced a curfew that went into effect 8:00 p.m. on August 24.[23] Metra commuter rail suspended service north of Waukegan station the same night.[24] The Kenosha County exits for Interstate 41/94 were also closed off.[22]

Protesters broke a door off its hinges in an effort to forcefully enter the Public Safety Building before being turned back by pepper spray.[25] Teargas was deployed for a second night starting around 8:30 p.m. in an attempt to disperse unlawful crowds gathered near the courthouse, as protesters launched fireworks at police.[26] Soon another garbage truck was lit on fire,[26] a car dealership was looted and a furniture store torched,[27] while armed gunman appeared to be guarding a downtown gas station.[28] Several streetlights were pulled down and by 1:00 a.m. several businesses downtown were on fire.[27]

A Wisconsin Department of Corrections community parole facility[29] and the city's Danish Brotherhood Lodge were among prominent buildings targeted by arsonists.[30] Other buildings set ablaze also contained residential apartments and several homes were also burned.[20][31] Firefighters worked into the morning of August 25.[32]

Day 3: August 25

The Kenosha County Board sent a letter to Evers requesting the deployment of an additional 2,000 national guardsmen.[33] Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth asserted that most of the damage was from individuals with no intent to protest and who were not from Kenosha County. Governor Tony Evers declared a state-ordered state of emergency for the region, sending 250 troops in the Wisconsin National Guard to the city.[34]

Law enforcement erected a tall fence to protect the courthouse. Protesters attempted to breach the fence line throughout the night but all attempts failed.[35][36]

Significant numbers of armed civilians,[37] were also on the streets.[38] Police said that such groups had not been invited and were not helpful.[39] Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth described them as "a militia... like a vigilante group."[4] However, cellphone footage showed police on the ground thanking armed civilians and giving them bottles of water.[37]

At around 11:45 pm there was a shooting incident in which two people were killed and a third injured. A 17-year-old Illinois resident was arrested the next day and charged with homicide.[40]

Day 4: August 26

Protests continued peacefully with chants and sidewalk art in a park near the courthouse, followed by a march. Riot police and National Guard troops did not have a visible presence.[41]

The Kenosha County Board sent a second letter to Gov. Evers requesting the deployment of an additional 1,500 national guardsmen. "Our county is under attack," the board wrote in the letter. "Our businesses are under attack. Our homes are under attack. Our local law enforcement agencies need additional support to help bring civility back to our community."[33]

Fatal shooting of protesters

On August 25, Kyle Rittenhouse, 17-year-old white male from Antioch, Illinois, allegedly shot at multiple protesters with an AR-15-style rifle, killing two — 26-year-old Silver Lake, Illinois resident Anthony Huber and 36-year-old Kenosha resident Joseph Rosenbaum[42] — and injuring one — Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, of West Allis, Wisconsin.[43][44] After the incident, Rittenhouse approached police vehicles with his hands up, but officers did not stop to question or arrest him despite members of the public telling them that he was the shooter.[45] A person must be 18 to possess a long gun in Wisconsin (with certain limited exceptions).[46]

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth later said that ahead of Tuesday night's protests, a group of armed individuals had asked him to deputize them to patrol the city of Kenosha, which he refused. He said he did not know if Rittenhouse had been part of the group, but that the possibility of such an incident was why he had refused the request to deputize them.[47]

Background

Rittenhouse has been described as a "police admirer," and publicly expressed support for law enforcement and the Blue Lives Matter movement via social media.[48][49] There is no indication from his social media that he has any connections to extremist groups.[50]

In the hours leading up to the shooting, Rittenhouse appeared in a number of interviews posted to social media, many of which were recorded at a Kenosha car dealership where he and a number of armed men had stationed themselves.[51] In one interview during a livestream, he claims that he came to Kenosha to help police officers deal with rioting.[45] He was seen talking with police officers, as well as offering medical aid to protestors.[52][53][51] Rittenhouse then left the dealership and was prevented by police from returning.[51]

Shooting

At around 11:45pm,[54] Rittenhouse[4] allegedly shot three people, two of whom were later pronounced dead.[33] Video footage shows Rittenhouse being pursued across a parking lot. An unknown gunman fires into the air nearby.[51] As a pursuer lunges towards Rittenhouse, he fires four shots from his rifle, hitting the man in the head.[51] Rittenhouse is separately filmed as he continues to be pursued down the street by several men before tripping. He then sits up and opens fire on those pursuing him.[40][37] One person was hit in the chest and another person who was holding a handgun, but had his hands in the air as he approached Rittenhouse,[50] was hit in his arm.[51] Gunshots from other sources can be heard at the same time.[51]

Rittenhouse subsequently walked towards police with his hands up and still armed with a semi-automatic rifle; they allowed him to leave, despite members of the public shouting for him to be arrested.[39][54][55][4][51] When asked at a press conference why Rittenhouse was not stopped, Kenosha Sheriff David Beth said, "In situations that are high-stress, you have such incredible tunnel vision" and implied officers may not have realized he had been involved in the shooting.[56]

State of Wisconsin vs. Kyle H. Rittenhouse

On August 26, Rittenhouse was arrested in his home state of Illinois on charges of first-degree intentional homicide in the shootings on August 25, according to Lake County, Illinois Clerk of Courts public records. He was labeled a "fugitive from justice" in the complaint, which states that he "fled the state of Wisconsin with intent to avoid prosecution for that offense." He was assigned a public defender and scheduled to appear at an extradition hearing on August 28.[57] Under Wisconsin state law,[48] he will be charged as an adult.[2]

The indictment in State of Wisconsin vs. Kyle H. Rittenhouse lists six charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and attempted homicide.[58] Each felony charge comes with a "use of a dangerous weapon" modifier,[59] which invokes a Wisconsin law that prescribes an addition of no more than five years of imprisonment for each of the charges if found guilty.[60] Possession of a dangerous weapon as minor, a misdemeanour, is also charged separately.[59]

Attorney L. Lin Wood and the law firm Pierce Bainbridge represent Rittenhouse.[61] They argue that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense.[50]

Responses

US media coverage of Rittenhouse has been polarized, with some conservative coverage defending his actions, as with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, or describing him as a "hero". Meanwhile, other coverage has used terms such as "vigilante" and "terrorist".[62]

Many on social media and in the regular media drew a comparison between the police treatment of Blake, as an unarmed black man, and of Rittenhouse, as an armed white individual, on the evening of the shootings.[56]

Events elsewhere

Sports strikes

In protest of the shooting of Blake, multiple professional athletes refused to play their respective sports contests that week. It started on August 26 when the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) refused to take the court for a playoff game. Members of other teams in the NBA, Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), and Major League Soccer (MLS) all decided not to play their games on August 26, 2020.[63] The strikes extended into August 27 and 28 when players from the National Hockey League (NHL) boycotted their playoff games.[64] In response to these events, nine National Football League (NFL) teams cancelled their scheduled practices on August 27, 2020.[65]

Antioch

After the arrest of the alleged shooter on August 26, residents of his hometown of Antioch began preparing for local protests. According to reports, through Wednesday, residents began setting up fences and drilling them into trees. Though some Illinoisans drove to the alleged shooter's apartment complex in Antioch in order to prepare, there were no confirmed plans for organized protest by the evening.[66]

Atlanta

On August 25, protesters gathered at Woodruff Park in Downtown Atlanta and began marching towards the Atlanta Police Department's Zone 5 precinct. After marching to the Zone 5 precinct the protest took a violent turn, protesters shattered a window and spray painted the exterior walls of the precinct. Police officers in riot gear broke up the crowd and Atlanta police arrested 8 people.[67]

Los Angeles

On August 24, protesters marched by the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters in support of the protesters in Kenosha, as well as in response to the fatal shooting of Anthony McClain in Pasadena. At one point, protesters moved a metal barricade propped up by the police. The LAPD declared the protest an unlawful assembly at about 11:20pm, and while there were no reports of arrests, there were reports that the police fired unknown projectiles into the crowd.[68]

In the evening of August 26, about 300 protesters marched around Downtown Los Angeles to continue protesting over the shootings. At around 11pm, LAPD officers clashed with protesters inside the 3rd Street Tunnel.[69]

Madison

Just after 12:10 a.m. on August 24, the Wisconsin State Capitol building in Madison reported dumpster fires and a liquor store with its door broken open.[29] Six arrests were made including of a male suspect with a handgun.[70] The night of August 24, Victor Wahl, the Madison Police chief, said that 40 businesses were damaged. Steven Davis, the Madison Fire Department chief, said that protestors threw molotov cocktails but that no buildings were damaged as a result.[34]

Minneapolis

On August 24 in Minneapolis, a 100-person protest over the shooting of Jacob Blake took place in the city's downtown area. After the main protest group disbanded, some protesters broke windows and threatened to breach a jail facility, resulting in 11 arrests. The protest came three months after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer which had similarly led to local unrest as well as a global protest movement.[71]

New York

On August 24, 700 protesters marched in New York City from Times Square to Brooklyn to condemn the shooting and call for defunding the police. Metal barriers were erected to prevent protesters from crossing the Brooklyn Bridge; however, 300 protesters jumped them.[72]
