Things seem to be settling for the night, I'm gonna call the thread here. Right-wing militiamembers shot first. Three GSW victims in the hospital, all caught live on stream. #Kenosha #KenoshaUprising
I'm not from Kenosha, but I felt like I had to do something to help keep information circulating in lieu of any action in my own communities, so thanks to everyone who tuned in to the live thread.

Seeing that stuff play out live was... difficult. Love and solidarity to #Kenosha.
Quick update: hearing that there are more gunshots outside the courthouse.

Also hearing that one of the victims has succumbed to his wounds. Rest in power to that brave soul.
Update to the update, cannot confirm that fatality. Please disregard until we know more. Sorry for the misinformation y'all.
Also for transparency's sake, all the information I shared in this thread I gleaned directly from public police scanners or livestreams with maybe one or two exceptions I found on twitter. I refuse to share videos both bc they are traumatizing and incriminating.
Wherever my coverage is incorrect, liberal, or poorly done, please correct me so I can ensure only good and useful info is what I put out. Goodnight y'all #Kenosha
