KENOSHA, Wis.—A number of Kenoshians have privately condemned the riots in their city and say they’re thankful for the National Guard’s presence, to which they attribute the peace that followed.

The Epoch Times attempted to speak to more than a dozen local residents and business owners over the span of a few days, but most declined to be interviewed due to privacy concerns and fears of retaliation. Some spoke off-the-record in support of the National Guard.
