'Mostly Peaceful' Protestors Flock To Kenosha From Out of State

The hapless governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, appealed to President of the United States Donald J. Trump not to travel to Kenosha. Trump, he said, is "divisive." I wonder. Is it divisive when people from outside Wisconsin--bringing fireworks, helmets, gas masks, protective vests, firearms, and suspected controlled substances--travel to his state and burn down a city? Seems like help from the Federal government might be welcomed, in the circumstances.

Fox is reporting:

Kenosha sees 175 arrested during civil unrest so far; 102 had addresses listed outside city, police say

Kenosha Police said in a media release that the arrests were from people located in 44 cities, although authorities didn't elaborate which states they came from. ... 

Thirty-four were arrested for violating curfew. The charges ranged from carrying concealed weapons, burglary and possession of controlled substances, police said. More than 20 firearms were seized. ... 

Kenosha police had arrested nine people traveling in vehicles with out-of-state license plates last Wednesday on suspicion of criminal conduct, according to a report. 

Inside the vehicles, officers found fireworks, helmets, gas masks, protective vests, and suspected controlled substances, police said.

That doesn't actually sound like "civil unrest". It sounds more like "civil war" on an interstate level.

Anecdotally, last week we read on police blogs that 'mostly peaceful' protestors were being bused in from Chicago.

Of course, many of the Wisconsin based participants in the sack of Kenosha came from cities other than Kenosha--including, if memory serves, all three of those who were shot by Kyle Rittenhouse.

Also anecdotally, I heard from a completely reliable source over the weekend that the parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly food store in Kenosha was filled with cars bearing Minnesota license plates. Go figure, right?
