Who needs to be afraid?

Keep Kenosha in your thoughts. Multiple shootings tonight.
Armed militia types with rifles involved.
Journalist Emma Leigh: Tonight in Kenosha multiple people were shot. I'm going to link to posts of a couple of the videos and explain what I've gathered.. There was a fairly major confrontation at this gas station that many streamers caught on their livestreams. It appeared that some folks from the community were not happy about militia having guns. They were arguing for a while and most of the streamers left because it didn't seem to be going anywhere. This gas station, a while later, ends up being the scene of the first shooting.
The first shooting can be seen in this video from Regg Inkagnedo on YouTube. Around 35 seconds you can see a guy in a green shirt run from the victim to the right side of the screen. While on the pone? https://www.facebook.com/emma.fiala.7/videos/847336005673733/
This video captures green shirt guy running. It sounds like he says "I just killed somebody" to whoever is on the pone with. https://www.facebook.com/emma.fiala.7/videos/847358835671450/
Immediately people began saying the guy in the green shirt was the shooter. There is a screenshot of him in the comments from earlier in the evening, during the argument at the gas station.
Andrew Mercado began shouting on his livestream as folks started chasing the guy in the green shirt that he was NOT the shooter because he was a medic. He does appear to have a *very small* backpack with medic markings on it. This doesn't mean he isn't the shooter. This also doesn't mean he is actually a medic. You can see it here around 3:41:00

In this video from CJTV you can see the guy in the green shirt run into view and down the street before hearing gunfire from what sounds like three different guns in total. CJ then tends to someone with a gunshot wound to the arm (I saw a photo - it's bad). https://www.facebook.com/emma.fiala.7/videos/847300815677252/
This video was taken further down the street from CJ, closer to where the guy in the green shirt began shooting people who approached him. You can clearly see multiple people being shot, including the man with the arm wound that CJ tended to (the fourth shot). https://www.facebook.com/emma.fiala.7/videos/847342465673087/
Before the shootings happened, the green shirt guy was captured on video with what appear to be other militia members, accepting water from the militarized police. He walks straight up to the bearcats. https://www.facebook.com/emma.fiala.7/videos/847350452338955/

Jacob Blake’s sister: ‘I’m not sad. I’m not sorry. I’m angry. And I’m tired. I haven’t cried one time. I stopped crying years ago. I am numb. I have been watching police murder people that look like me for years.’ (warning: distressing)

Jacob Blake’s father speaks out: “They shot my son seven times. Seven times. Like he didn’t matter. But my son matters! He’s a human being, and he matters.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1298359325992398850
Attorney Ben Crump says it would “take a miracle” for Jacob Blake to walk again.
