Black Lives Matter and the counter-protest by ‘patriot’ militia groups | DW News


Two people were shot dead and several others injured in Kenosha, Wisconsin as anti-racism demonstrators gathered for a third night. Footage posted online showed what appeared to be a civilian armed with a rifle, firing shots when he tripped, after being chased by demonstrators. Armed militia-like groups are increasingly adding a new layer of tension to public protests in the United States. In some cases, right-wing activists – openly carrying weapons – have been patrolling anti-racism demonstrations with the blessing of local law enforcement. So what is the aim of such groups? DW met with members of one militia known as “American Wolf.”
