I don’t know what President Trump’s itinerary looks like when he visits Kenosha, Wisconsin today, but maybe he can carve out a few minutes to stop by a neighborhood about ten miles from downtown. There hasn’t been any violence there, and residents would like to keep it that way, which is why many of them have formed a neighborhood watch that’s now standing guard over the community each night.
About ten residents are taking part in the nightly watch, including Jason Ottum and Gilbert Rosales. Both long-time residents of the neighborhood, the pair say that they’re not looking to start trouble. They’re simply hoping to keep any trouble away from their quiet streets.
“All we’re doing is making sure the community here is able to go asleep, sleep fine and are not worried about anything,” said Rosales.
Rosales, who said he has lived in the area for 18 years, got involved after seeing other members of the neighborhood guard assembling Tuesday.
