BLM protesters screamed at Second Amendment enthusiasts and Rittenhouse fans on the courthouse steps on Tuesday morning in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
One an armed security guard wearing riot gear was among those outside. The guard told DailyMail.com he had been hired by a TV station to provide security for journalists who had been threatened recently.
On the steps of the courthouse, protesters chanted in each other's faces in front of Jacob Blake's uncle. It was Blake's death by cop that was the reason for the protest on August 20 that attracted Rittenhouse to Kenosha.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Missouri couple who thwarted BLM protesters away from their property last year by toting their own guns, were there again to show Rittenhouse their support.
The sheriff's department and police department issued a statement to try to quell the town's anxiety, saying there were no plans yet for road closures, curfews or any other kind of restriction, but that safety remained the priority.

Is the City is so ignorant that it will not close the street in front of the courthouse?
Yup, that is a pretty good bet. That is the message the "demonstrators" are trying to get thru to the jury by making all that noise outside the courthouse. Vote our way or else.
Where is Matt Dillon when you need him?
Seems to be a pretty clear case of justifiable homicide. Seems to be a pretty clear case of self defense.
Is the jury simply afraid to render that verdict?
