Jacob Blake’s mother begged rioters to stop the looting and violence in the wake of her son’s police shooting in Wisconsin, saying her family is “quite frankly disgusted” with the civil unrest.
Julia Jackson’s plea came Tuesday night as she told CNN’s Don Lemon that she didn’t condone the turmoil that’s unfolded in Kenosha.
“My family and I are very hurt. And quite frankly disgusted,” Jackson said, while flanked by her husband, Jacob Blake Sr. “And as his mother, please don’t burn up property and cause havoc and tear your own homes down in my son’s name.
“People shouldn’t do it anyway, but to use my child or any other mother or father’s child, our tragedy — to react in that manner is just not acceptable. And it’s not helping Jacob. It’s not helping Jacob or any other of the men or women who has suffered in these areas.”
Jackson also shared her exchange with her son while visiting him in the hospital for the first time.

HIS FAULT, IF HE DID AS HE WAS TOLD THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED
I'm disgusted by the RNC having two people with felony charges for illegally brandishing firearms during a peaceful protest speak at their national convention. When you encourage vigilantes you have things like the shooting in Illinois where some 17 year old wanna be cop takes 2 innocent lives.
Really?? Then get a megaphone 📣 and tell the idiots that.
In Wisconsin also, you will probably find that most of the protesters in all the Democrat run cities are Bussed in and not home grown. Some home grown radicals jump in but they are not the ones being paid to DESTROY!!!
This individual will be on the damorat champagne trail when it goes through DE. That is as far as Joey can handle things before sundowners kicks in.
Well now either he was a problem child or Momma never made him listen.
No when you have rioters busting down iron gates and threatened people then those people show they will defend theirself no problem, when Mayors and Governors do not insist on peace during a demostation and their is mass destruction of property and beating people burning cars and business, then you have a young Man ready to chase people away with a gun.
My wife just offended me. Guess I’ll go loot or start a fire. Hate to do it, but whatta yea goin’ do?
