Sep. 2nd, 2020 12:15 pmEven the Atlantic is exaggerating violence in Kenosha.
"Within a couple of days, much of the small city is a ruined landscape."
No, it's not. Small parts of this *medium-sized* city (there are about 100,000 people there and it's one of the largest towns in Wisconsin) have been damaged and boarded up. Some buildings have been burned. My parents and family and friends in Kenosha, though, are doing remarkably well if they're living in a city where "much" of it has been destroyed. Should I let them know that the library my mother works at, the high school my dad works at, my brother's office, and my friend's storefront bodywork / massage therapy office are likely all figments of their imaginations?
