But fencing is in place to protect the Kenosha County Courthouse as well as Wisconsin National Guard on the ground:
National Guardsmen are behind the fencing that was set up today at the Kenosha County Courthouse. Wouldn’t be surprised if this turns into another Portland federal courthouse situation. pic.twitter.com/DdKfjPdS9F

“It’s really important ‘cuz there’s a lot of businesses up and down here … It’s very important to the community. Places I even shop at, so I just thought, you really have to come out here,” he said. pic.twitter.com/1BSXZgzOcB
