NBC News' Jo Ling Kent Hit By Firework As Seattle Protest Gets Chaotic | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
America has gone nuts
Those r liberals of ur blue state under governance of ur democratic mayors and governors, they let ur fcking police stood there n watch looters destroyed those buisnesses, arson, flipping over cars. Democrats defended those actions as people who wanted justice and reform apparently u dumb morons dont know where to draw the line, because u think ur own mayors r really doing a good job because they’re Democrats and Republicans are evil
Thank Soros!
Thanks to these reporter morons,,,
@Saint seer those Trump voting protesters carrying guns were whinging about lack of freedom – where are they now? Obeying the curfews no doubt being obedient little citizens haha
fr i used to like america then all this happen i never experience hate even tho im black everyone is so nice
“All they have are fireworks to fire back”
If you could just put on mask, that would sum 2020 up for me I think.

@Ash Roskell BillBarr is just a trumpet player of the Trumpetists. A scam for the modern times. A slave-servant for His Majesty
It’s hilarious how China is the main production of fireworks!.
@Logen Ninefingers it’s hilarious how China is the main producer of everything around you; even for example, a computer ‘made in USA’ is build with parts from China (or Korea/Singapore/ ..).
Because the workers over there were paid only slavery-wages. That’s the ultimate point.
@J.L. Klamer Then again, even more hilarious that we have to outsource the production from those country. It shows you which one is bending their knees to beg.
She was grazed by a malfunctioning tear gas canister, she actually got extremely lucky
@BIG PASTA Don’t bother with these people lol they’re just trolls who are just looking to annoy
Daniel Schlobach yeah apparently, god forbid they stop acting like clowns for a second… way too much to ask
@Daniel Schlobach Danny and pasta stroking each other. How sweet!!
X L not a firework at all, after she’s hit it doesn’t explode at all and instead sprays tear gas.
Randy Smith you’re so cool! 😘
This seems more intense than I thought☹️
Wow!!! that looks so Dangerous be careful out there Guys… I hope all of you get home Safe to your family’s…
@Michael D. Williams III come to africa ^^ really come here
@Michael D. Williams III trump is yours not mine lol poes funny you people
DENOEHONER : Agreed. There’s nothing going on out there that we need to know about SO badly, that it’s worth a journalist, or crew member, getting harmed for ✌️ But they have my gratitude, and acknowledgement of their courage 👍
James Pryde : What are you on about, son?
LOL take a trip to Mogadishu.
Not fireworks. Police hit her with tear gas
Jesus went over the water, TRUMP over the blood of the Americans. Jesus shared the bread, Trump says MAGA. Jesus brought an idea of love and justice. Trump brings hatred, violence and dominance like a dictator or a devil.
Stop lying
Paul, yes, the POLICE hit her with a tear gas canister.
You can see that clearly if you run the video at .25X.
However, there was also fireworks.
Again, running at .25X speed, at around 0.31, you can see, way in the background, a guy dressed in a black hoodie, light a fireworks stick. It flames up, produces a plums of smoke, then at around 0.32-0.33, you can see the fireworks explode, in the background, in what starts off as a “Fish” pop and appears to end up in multiple “spider” pops.
That one is fireworks.
Along with that, and what I think causes the confusion here, at that same time, close to the fireworks, just as the fireworks completes, you can also see a tear gas canister fly into that area, more to our right (guy’s left) and explodes.
The flash from that is much less dramatic than the fireworks was.
Really though, all that is just a MOOT point!
This is all about Police nullifying a citizen’s CONSTITUTIONAL right to peaceful protest.
WHICH THIS WAS until the cops started their attack.
The COPS ARE NOT LEARNING!!!
And I fear this is NOT going to stop until they cops learn that
WE THE PEOPLE
are not going to take their racism and bigotry anymore.
Blondie SL : Yes, but what worries me is that he’s actually going to break up the union at this rate?
@Ash Roskell well then break him?…. as someone from the eu I’d never allow my country to be let by such a incompetent bigot.. rally & protest till the corrupt orange hairpiece is gone
That is not a firework. That s a tear gas bomb.
It’s a 37mm smoke grenade
@Eric Pedersen thank you.
@ol4er Just because it’s not lethal doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you badly
Déborah V. Thats what I try to say. You can even die from non lethal weapon, if you got hit directly from it …
@ol4er Oh ok gotcha 👍
WE REMEMBER June 16,1944
George Stinney Jr. was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the 20th century in the United States.
He was only 14 years old when he was executed in an electric chair.
During his trial, even on the day of his execution, he always carried a bible in his hands, claiming to be innocent.
He was accused of killing two white girls, 11-Year-old Betty, and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the teenager resided with his parents.
At that time, all members of the jury were white. The trial lasted only 2 hours, and the sentence was dictated 10 minutes later.
The Boy’s parents were threatened and prevented from being present in the courtroom, and subsequently expelled from that city.
Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison without being able to see his parents.
He was held in solitary, 80 miles from his city. He was alone without the presence of his parents or a lawyer.
He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in his head, imagine all that voltage in a teenager’s head.
70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina. The boy was innocent, someone set it up to blame him for being black.
Todd wood, you get her point.
Iam sure Ted buddy had a Bible too
And they claim blacks are owed nothing.
This is why I’ll never forget what my people have gone through in this country. Never! Stop letting this racists tell us to forget our history cause “it happen so long ago” or “don’t blame me for what happen centuries ago” These racists love telling us to forget what they did to us! Don’t listen!! Study your own history and not theirs!!Go all the way back to 1619! Read, Study, and understand our own history my people! I beg of you✊✊✊✊
He is being avenged now
I didn’t hear about this earlier, its literally a street away from my house and I heard it booms. I see some of my classmates, and neighbors.
I believe that was a tear gas canister that failed to deploy not a firecracker
The Overlander : Sorry to be repetitive, but it’s WORTH repeating, I think? Your, “government,” WANTS this Civil Strife. Don’t ask me why? Putin probably knows? But, did you HEAR Bill Barr, a couple of days ago? Pouring on the gas? “A leftist, Democrat plot!” That was ALL HE HAD! . . . Oh, and the threats. That was it! They WANT this . . .
it happened a couple times, I think they do that to make their presence known before it starts dispensing CS gas. But also it should be noted a large group of people makes a enticing target to people who want to commit crimes. Kinda why schools ,theaters and sometimes stores are attacked by shooters.
@Johl’s *looters
It was a roman candle
@Ash Roskell I live in Seattle and its antifa organizations causing riots. They are even shipping them from Seattle and Portland to other states. They are white leftist.
There were two tear gas cans lauched from what can be seen, one went above and past- the other seemingly malfunctioned richochet hit her. It looks like tear gas cans and came from where everyone was running from.
@littleportrait you’re obviously not talking about Soros. Do you know who he is?
Looks like it ricocheted off another member of her crew (camera person) or maybe the fence.
Don’t mind @littleportrait , they’re an unenlightened ignorant troll trying to … well, troll. If you happen by such unfortunate souls remember not to feed them, thier opinions are distilled from a failed k-12 anyways … just move along.

welcome to the land of the free … just because you say it does not mean it is real!!!
Land of the free That´s what Looters are saying 😂😂😂
0:45 slow it down to quarter speed. You can see it is a gas canister that exploded.
HOLY CRAP. You’re completely correct.
GOOD CATCH!
You CAN see the canister clear in that segment.
I played it back a few times to try and see from which direction it came.
Right where she starts to say, “advancing” you can see a canister fly over the top of the tree well behind her. It came from OVER the fence with the cops on the other side!
The canister that exploded right beside her also came from the direction of where the police are.
So much for the RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTEST, which is what this was at this time.
This is ALL CAUSED by TRUMP’S trying to act touch and empowering the morons who are still on the police forces. It’s too bad that the “good police” don’t have the power to just stop their BAD colleagues.
It wasn’t fire works … it was tear gas if you watch it again.
You can see the tear gas grenade bounce on the ground to the right of her before it detonates.
Yup, as suggested, slow it down to .25 to see it.
Scott Glancy I’m from Australia, could you let me know what BLM stand s for, please forgive my ignorance 👍🏻
@Tracy Walker It stands for Black Lives Matter. That’s the name of the whole movement, and it’s okay that you didn’t know since you don’t live in the states 😊
JustKhady thank you, I clicked just after I sent the message. I’ve mean following your politics since trump was put in. My opinion is vote him out in November he is a waste of space. Majority of Australians agree on that . Be safe and RIP George Floyd
It’s a 37mm smoke grenade.
That wasn’t fireworks that was tear gas from the cops. Look closer.
This looks like a nice start for a found footage film!
Yes! I would definitely watch it.
Thats a solid canister that exploded and malfunctioned then starts to release gas. Its not a firework its tear gas.
I also want to add I was right there on the other side of the fence for a long time at that spot and no one was doing any looting or property destruction of any kind, very very peaceful. SPD didn’t have any reason for this. just wanted to get people out. Most of these people running regrouped, continued to peacefully march and protest for many hours.

What was it like? I haven’t spoken to anyone in the protests yet.
God bless y’all.
Well,at least we know that freedom smells like tear gas…
