KENOSHA — More community devastation in Kenosha following another night of civil unrest which led to businesses and institutions in the city to being destroyed in the aftermath of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Along 60th street, near the Department of Corrections building at 13th Avenue, several businesses were destroyed.
The Department of Corrections building was set ablaze and crews worked to demolish the building on Tuesday morning. Hot spots and flames still shot out of a neighboring business, B&L Furniture, which was targeted by vandals overnight as well.
"It's just all gone," said Linda Carpenter as she cried into her son Scott's arms. She and her family have owned their furniture shop for nearly 40 years before it was reduced to a pile of burning debris. "My next job is to clean this up and then after that, I don't have a job," said Scott as he realized their livelihoods had been smashed.
On the same block, several car dealerships were destroyed and local businesses were busted into and vandalized.
