Three people were killed and two others were seriously injured in a shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, early Sunday morning, a sheriff's department official said.

Authorities responded to a reported shooting at Somers House Tavern at 1548 Sheridan Road just after 1 a.m. Sunday.

They are still searching for the suspect, who they believe fled the scene, Kenosha County Sgt. David Wright said at a press conference Sunday morning.

This is madness

[Lovie777]

1. Republican paradise . . ..

[EYESORE 9001]

20. Not sure if this is a general slam against Wisconsin or what

The suspect is described as a black male, and in Kenosha, that hardly translates into republican voter.

[brewens]

2. Alcohol, tobacco and firearms! Yeehaw! n/t

[Deminpenn]

4. What could possibly go wrong?

nt

[Botany]

3. Well it has been @ least 2.5 days since the latest mass shooting.

Right wing toxic crap is killing us daily.

[malaise]

5. This is madness

on steroids

[markie]

17. well...

that we have heard about

[rickyhall]

6. So this is every fucking day now?

[malaise]

7. Sure looks that way

Makes the wild west look tame

[rickyhall]

11. Wild west towns confiscated guns; Dodge City, Tombstone. Not a problem. Well, OK Corral, but, ya kno

[malaise]

13. ReTHUGs want their goons armed

That is all

[haele]

16. OK Corral was outside of the town of Tombstone.

That's why folks could have gunz there.

It was still an ambush rather than a gunfight. Sometimes it was tough not to know who the bad guys were in the Olde West.

18. Supposedly the Earps were out to disarm the Cowboys.

8. Sure looks that way

Makes the wild west look tame

25. So true. It was just a fun time for the Native Americans. The good old days.

When one speaks from the perspective of white privilege, it's easy to ignore the robbing of lands, the massacres, murders, and starvation of the Native Americans.

While the murder of a white by another white was a crime punishable by death in the Old West, that wasn't the case with a white killing a Native American.

The homicide with a gun rate in black inner cities has been near war zone levels for decades now but it's only been relatively recently when whites have become victims that gun crimes has gotten national attention.

27. Great post

So much evil has been painted as greatness

[bottomofthehill]

28. The President should leave the Flag at half mast and only raise it....

When we go a week without a mass shooting

[ProfessorGAC]

43. At Least On Average

With the active shooting in Austin (as of an hour ago), it's 5 in 5 days, but I think we had a whole one day without one.
Of course, that was covered by 2 in the same day!
Sheesh! Essentially every day!

[Pacifist Patriot]

44. Multiple times a day now.

[justhanginon]

9. Thanks in no small part to the gun manufacturers

who own a subsidiary known as the U.S. Congress. Aso, a shoutout to the various gun owner groups who scream at any mention of gun control.

[IronLionZion]

10. Our infamous American tradition

The one good thing about pandemic lockdowns were fewer mass shootings. But now people are more than making up for lost time. No matter what mental illness or economic anxiety or whatever racist BS the freepers come up with for nonwhite shooters, the common denominator is easy access to guns.

This is America

[2naSalit]

12. Where's that fucking kid who's out on bail?

[mezame]

14. Somers House Tavern?

Same bar where, early January, Kyle Rittenhouse was caught drinking with his Nazi bros the day he was arraigned?

I suppose that's what it means in Kenosha nowadays by 'going Dutch'.

[malaise]

15. Guess they're culling their own herd

one way or another

[mezame]

42. I'm with you...

flocks of a feather and all that...kenosha racine - let's step back and just way WISCONSIN! i suppose these racist asshats were gerrymandered together on purpose FFS.

I think we've all run out of superlatives at this point, for just about everything goin' on, not just here, but around the world. I'd pick up my skirts and bug out of here, but frankly there ain't no place got it any better than we do.

Land of the freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...[breathe baby breathe]

[Treefrog]

46. Well, they've caught the perp. Looks like this has nothing to do with trumpers to me.

[dalton99a]

21. It was a different bar - Pudgy's Pub in Mount Pleasant

[xmas74]

37. He was in Racine County at the bar

Not Kenosha County

[Chautauquas]

19. I wonder what level of violence there'd have to be for even the gun nuts

to say it's too much and something needs to be done?

[Stuart G]

22. If one looks totally around the entire U.S.A.."Madness every single day" as malaise says...

23. For real

[Tommymac]

26. Been under reported for many years. Maybe that is changing.

If you were black and shot it never made the news at all. This was a late as 2015.

Forget the stats of how many die every day by a gun in the US - it's out there somewhere but at work so don't have time to look now.

But it was always eye opening to see Thr reaction to mass shootings like Columbine compared to the lack of reaction to everyday shootings in the big cities.

[Mr. Steve]

24. More profit for the gun dealers

I wonder if gun dealers ever experience a thrill when another mass shooting occurs. Ir just shows that they made more profit at the cost of more human lives.

[MissMillie]

29. Did Mrs. Rittenhouse drive her son Kyle there

for a drink?

[malaise]

30. Don't rule it out

How did that murderer get bail?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

38. There is absolutely no evidence that she drove him there. nt

[aeromanKC]

31. Alcohol and guns..?? Gee, never saw that coming.

[Heartstrings]

32. Sheridan Road closed in the vicinity of the shooting.

Friends who live in that area of Kenosha County heard approximately 20 gun shots. Suspect still at large last I heard.....

[malaise]

33. Damn!

Thanks for a local update

[Heartstrings]

40. You're welcome.

Heard the hospital was a mess last night. Not too many details yet but I’ll update as I get more info.....

[EX500rider]

34. Of course Jamaica's homicide rate is 9 times worse then the US...

I guess that is beyond madness?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

[malaise]

35. Indeed - it is beyond madness

but do you know when this started? Watch the rise from 1975 - through the 1980s and it has only gotten worse. We had our own guns for drugs moments with a lot of help from our big neighbor if you know what I mean..
That said local politicians and business folks are a big part of the problem.

[EX500rider]

39. Yeah I was surprised to see Jamaica listed as 3rd highest in homicides...yikes..

I have fond memories of where I was born in Montego Bay back in the 60's.

[malaise]

41. It is completely out of control

and in the middle of this pandemic the violence against women is frightening.
Two weeks ago, an elected member of Parliament was caught on video beating a woman and he is yet to resign. You have to see that beating to believe it. First he used his fists and then a stool.

[Heartstrings]

45. Latest update....
