Sconni Gov. Evers deserves some of the blame for the riots

and the blowback from citizens:

"The citizenry will eventually fight back.

And when it does, nobody ought to be surprised. The make-believe revolution must at some point become real. In Kenosha it became real. And in real revolutions people get killed, because more than one side is fighting.

But while Antifa and Black Lives Matter have lit the match to this powderkeg, perhaps the real culprits are the men standing by with buckets of water but refusing to use them to douse the fuse. And for that, Wisconsin’s Democrat Gov. Tony Evers is far more at fault for the Kenosha bloodshed than is Kyle Rittenhouse.

Evers spun the Blake incident into the riot it turned out to be, for political reasons. He issued a fiery statement bashing the police without knowing anything about the case and used it as a lever to demand the Wisconsin Legislature convene a special session to debate social-justice measures. And then, when his creation quickly got out of control and local law enforcement notified Evers they needed 750 National Guardsmen to restore order, he provided only 250.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows then offered Evers 500 Guardsmen to supply the balance of what was needed.

Evers turned him down on Tuesday.

And Tuesday night, two people lay dead.

On Wednesday, Evers deployed the 500 additional Guardsmen."

"I think the genie is out of the bottle. I think Kenosha showed us a glimpse of it. And I think unless the political class in states like Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington, New York, Minnesota, and elsewhere finally wakes up, the sad fact is it could well require thousands or even millions of Kyle Rittenhouses to put out the fires raging along Lake Michigan and elsewhere."
