BACKGROUND:
On August 25, 2020 armed white supremacists went to Kenosha to kill protesters & the police helped them. Jojo Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber gave their lives, and Gaige Grosskreutz was severely injured while protecting people that were demanding justice for Jacob Blake on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Today, the Wisconsin injustice system has legalized lynch mobs. And, President Biden and the federal Department of Justice have remained silent.
