The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
"We have a National Guard standing by that if the general for the National Guard needs additional help, we're there to do it," Meadows said. "But today, that request was denied by the governor."
The Democratic governor deployed the National Guard to Kenosha on Monday and doubled the size of the deployment to 250 on Tuesday. On Tuesday, Evers did speak with both Meadows and Trump but Meadows was offering help from the Department of Homeland Security, not the National Guard, according to the Evers administration. Evers declined because more Guard members were already been sent there....
“Everyone should be able to exercise their fundamental right — whether a protester or member of the press — peacefully and safely,” [Evers] said in a statement. “We cannot allow the cycle of systemic racism and injustice to continue. We also cannot continue going down this path of damage and destruction.”
Also
at the Journal Sentinel this morning:
Kenosha Police said early Wednesday morning that two people had been shot and killed and a third injured during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake.... The shooting came on the third night of violent protests that have torn through Kenosha after a police officer shot Blake from behind at close range while he was getting in a vehicle. Since then, buildings have been burned, windows smashed out and stores looted.
ADDED: I’d like to see descriptions of what the National Guard were doing in Kenosha last night. There were 250? Why wasn't that effective?
Today, I see:
In a letter Wednesday, Kenosha County Board Chairman John O’Day and Vice Chairwoman Monica Yuhas specifically requested 1,500 National Guard members with police powers to be sent to Kenosha County. The members wrote on behalf of the county board, stating that the “county is in a state of emergency” and the extra law enforcement is needed to “preserve and save” the region.
“Our county is under attack,” the board wrote in the letter. “Our businesses are under attack. Our homes are under attack. Our local law enforcement agencies need additional support to help bring civility back to our community.”

I'd like to know what you see them as, but I know you can't answer.
how many media-reporters are getting their kicks "reporting from peaceful war zones"
who elects these fucking brain dead apparatchiks?
It’s worse than that. NPC educrat Evers squeaked past the greatest governor this state has ever had in Scott Walker. The corruption machine in Dane County and the teachers unions made that happen.

Thanks.
So, Evers should resign. The GOP should be relentless about this.
No, Inga, that's what happens when despicable thugs decide to riot, and their Democrat politician co-conspirators refuse to stop the despicable thugs.
Inga is incapable of understanding that, when leftist politicians let thugs riot, eventually somebody says enough and starts pushing back. I think that kid was crazy to get into this mess but that is going to happen more and more.
If the Antifa thugs are drawn from unstable parts of society, the militia will be a similar profile except probably more military experience. It will get ugly. This is what you get from the Democrats' strategy of destroying cities. Even they are starting to realize this is backfiring on them, hence Evers asking for help. Too late. The videos are everywhere but the mainstream media which is trying to hide the truth.
It is going to get worse, this is what the defenders of the riots are hoping for.
They are not going to like the outcome.
[Evers] said in a statement. “We cannot allow the cycle of systemic racism and injustice to continue.
A noble idea, Gov. You could begin by purging racial discrimination* from Wisconsin government. Purge the systemic** racism from State, County, City, School District policies, procedures, and forms which touch upon categorization of people by race.
*Discrimination: recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another.
**Systemic: found in all parts of a system.
Self Defense.
Nobody but a-holes shed tears for dead leftwing nazi terrorists called antifa.
The only mistake the kid made was going there.
I forget where the quote comes from but it's to the effect of:
Q: "You're headed to a gunfight, what do you carry"?
Famous veteran/LEO - A: "If I knew I was going to be in a gunfight, I'd probably stay home"
Inga “He should be tried for murder”.
Good luck finding an Antifa friendly jury.
As usual, Inga doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about. He was being chased before the first shot. And it turns out that the first recorded shot was fired by one of his pursuers.
Read the whole thread.

Kenosha: The Stupid is STRONG in these ones.
What we don't know:
1. How he got separated from his original group.
2. What happened prior to the first shot being fired at him while he was already running.
What we DO know:
1. The first shot that is captured on film was fired by one of his pursuers.
2. He shot one of his pursuers who was a highly aggressive individual.
3. He continued running, and was violently attacked by multiple people.
4. He shot them, too.
These are facts, captured on video. The criminal case for murder will hinge on what we don't know.
