Oh, Sweet Jesus, Where Was the National Guard?

In what has become an all-too-familiar scene in Milwaukee’s central city, a large and excitable mob of pint-sized looters descended upon Washington Park on the city’s near-west side. Their aim, to rove and roam with reckless abandon, ranging to and fro across the land until all the eggs and candy were tight in their grasp.

The unruly mob.














A particularly chilling image.



















One boy, high on sugar and his own sense of power. One might ask, where were his parents?

A particularly aggressive looter.




To the victors go the spoils.
