Kenosha, Wisconsin is looking an awful lot like war-torn Syria this week.
A video has surfaced online of an older man defending his shop from looters in downtown Kenosha when he's violently assaulted and knocked to the ground.
The looting and rioting was inspired by recent headlines involving a black man being shot by a police officer.
Rioters and looters took to the streets of Kenosha on Monday night, setting fires while vandalizing and stealing from multiple businesses throughout the area.
Rioters set fire to several buildings, including those in the uptown and downtown areas, Kenosha police said.
Residents at the scene of one fire near 13th Avenue and 60th Street said that included the Community Corrections Building at 1212 60th St.
A Kenosha County Sheriff's squad was parked in the west bound lane underneath the viaduct while an armed officer stood guard in the eastbound lane to prevent foot travel or motorists from going through.
Around the city other areas were burning in the second night of looting and rioting since the shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday.
