The information below was posted last night (08/23/2020) on the Facebook Page “Kenosha County Scanner”. It’s a sad day for Kenosha…and the rest of the country. Our society is crumbling. I really don’t see how so much violence helps the situation or the state of our country. It only breaks it down more and weakens it. One person takes action in the spur of the moment–whether right or wrong–and everyone else pays for it. We don’t even have all of the facts yet. As a society we have built a system of justice we must follow, but too many people refuse to allow it to work.
