At times, the exchange of opinions became tense, and tempers flared.

Susan, who did not wish to provide her last name, says she witnessed hundreds of vehicles enter Kenosha on the night of the riots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were at least two hundred vehicles with blacked-out license plates. I knew there was going to be trouble,\u201d she recalled. Susan says the rioters were not from Kenosha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love our city, it\u2019s peaceful here, the destruction they caused was something we wouldn\u2019t do to ourselves,\u201d she added. She says she is still on edge but is hopeful that the peace lasts. The damage done on that night is something she says the residents don\u2019t want to relive.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_18846210\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"33\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18846210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_2551-1.jpg\" alt=\"A senior living center in Kenosha boarded up in anticipation of street violence following the delivery of the Rittenhouse verdict.
