The destruction and looting continued last night in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Brendan Gutenschwager caught much of the chaos on video. It was a free-for-all where crowds broke windows and cleaned out the store shelves. One woman could be heard screaming, “I got the phone cases!” as she looted a Boost Mobile store:

The destruction of the city of Kenosha began because a man with a warrant out for his arrest resisted arrest and was shot.
