KENOSHA — About a 10-minute drive from Downtown Kenosha, two men stood this week with AR-15 firearms protecting their subdivision.

The armed men were Jason Ottum and Gilbert Rosales, part of a group of about 10 residents of the Kenosha subdivision that have been out nights since Tuesday protecting their neighborhood in light of the unrest in Kenosha.

Despite the we-mean-business message the group conveys to passing motorists, Ottum and Rosales were anything but threatening Thursday night. They were sincere in their concern for their neighbors and city.

“All we’re doing is making sure the community here is able to go asleep, sleep fine and are not worried about anything,” said Rosales.

1. They'll be pretty bored, hot and sweaty after a week

When no protesters show up!

3. And if it wasn't for those darn bone spurs ...

... those wannabes would have joined the Armed Forces to defend freedumb.

5. Nothing to worry about except the armed citizens "patrolling"

around my house.
I lived in an apartment complex years ago. A neighbor told me one day not to worry about coming home late. Seems he was dressing in camo and hanging in the bushes "patrolling" the complex at night, "watching over" us.
I reported to management, but it was texas so not illegal.

6. Heros with nothing to hero...

why did they think the protesters were coming out to their slice of suburbia?

I doubt anyone knows who is really burning and rioting there, but I guess if it makes them feel better.

7. Protecting from what.

I can see a innocent person being shot.

8. Not necessary and possibly stupid, but it doesn't worry me.

Trump and his stooges have brought us to this kind of nonsense.

Now, if I were a homeowner in the neighborhood, I would want to make it crystal clear that our HOA doesn't want this "Neighborhood Watch" activity and doesn't support these guys doing what they are doing. They're their own thing. Otherwise, they shoot someone and everyone in the neighborhood loses their houses and life savings.

9. Those are the next george zimmermans.

10. All POC Uber Eats, etc. should refuse to go there n/t

11. Yeah George Zimmerman was one of those volunteer neighborhood watch types.
