Kenosha, Wis. – Sometimes, life offers second chances to those willing to fight for them. For Endel Williams, 50, that second chance is more than just a fresh start—it’s a full-circle moment. The once-troubled teen and twice-convicted felon will be sworn in as a Deputy Sheriff for the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office on March 31, 2025, marking an extraordinary turnaround. Williams’ past was anything but picture-perfect. His troubles with the law began early, leading to convictions

Because the information you published last night on an open case could possibly get more people killed. But this website is for white supremacy anyway. Filled with racist topics and information
Hello Maria:
As someone who actually read the article before it was pulled, I assure you that it cited public records that were actually included in the piece. Any criticism of the use of these sources needs to be directed at law enforcement. The district attorney could have filed a motion to seal the complaint to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Because, except for the KCE, there is not an investigative journalism presence in Kenosha, Kenosha law enforcement acts as if no one is watching. That is understandable because until KCE arrived, no one was.
KCE makes many people in Kenosha uncomfortable, especially those in power. I don’t agree with everything it publishes. However, it is taken on a challenge that few, if any, journalists are willing to take on. I am grateful it has done so and I hope it continues to do so.
I would take into consideration that but seeing as Kevin Mathewson is the investigator and he was the same man who beckoned militias and vigilantes to Kenosha during the protest and was banned from Facebook etc because of that I don’t particularly think he should be any type of voice of Kenosha. My opinion . Happy holidays. But honestly go research Mr. Mathewson.
Maria,
Your a bias and flawed individual. Do you blame BLM and the Blake family who called for no justice no peace in the streets that led to destruction? Prolly not but you want to blame Kevin for asking people to stand up and protect our community by looters and losers? I’m sure your bias and flawed view of events are just messed up because it don’t fit your agenda. Continue being uneducated and I’m sure you will do well
“Kenosha”. Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading. There are indeed some people here in our beautiful city that would have rather watched it continue to burn. Not me and from the sounds of things, not you either.
Yes, you are right…..Kevin absolutely did call these militias to Kenosha.
One of those people actually shot and killed two people. Guess what? The ongoing crime and riots then magically stopped once that citizen lawfully shot those 2 criminals (as determined by a jury). In other words, Kevin helped save the city.
In other words, Maria….go fuck yourself.
The crime stopped?! Lol ? what city of Kenosha do you live in? There’s honestly more shootings now then before the riots . More overdoses etc. magically stopped ?
No one beckoned vigilantes. Despite what you’ve allowed yourself to believe, protecting one’s community from marauders is not vigilantism. Not in the sense you’re using it. Also…look at your typical lefty tactics…screech one ‘accusation’ then move on to the next one without even addressing the first.
Thank you “x” for your wisdom and intellectually slguided response.
You spelled your name wrong “Karen”.
maria- bless your pea-pickin’ heart. why would you write retarded sentences like above? i assume you may suffer from white guilt, or do not realize how GREAT it is to be WHITE (like the shark), or refuse to say WHITE LIVES MATTER as much as other races? you sound like the racist gal on this forum. maybe you need jesus in your heart?
I am sorry i missed the posted article- DANG IT! i will wait with bated breath for the repost.
Post on mr.kevin- i love your website.
Me and my website love you! Thank you for your kind words and for reading.
??? yet No racism here correct? White guilt?! What in the hell is white guilt? And what race yells white lives matter ?! You’ve further proved my point on what KCE is about.
Maria, thank you for offering your opinion. If you can give any type of concrete evidence that I am a white supremacist or a racist, I will donate $2,500 to your favorite charity (nothing related to abortion)
support the police = racist
criticize police = racist
everything = racist?
Typical unhinged screeching about huwhite supremes. No actual,connection, no evidence just reeeeeee!
Prove it, screech!
I read the article before it was removed. It was interesting. I suspect that law enforcement asked KCE to remove it for something related to public safety or to protect investigative leads. I also believe that KCE removed the article for a very good reason. Sometime in the future we will know.
My point in writing this is that this demonstrates the legitimacy of the KCE. It shows that high level law enforcement are regular leaders. Congrats. Please continue to use your platform to hold the many corrupt Kenosha government officials accountable.
I also had the chance to read it….wow! Great coverage!
Thank you Lori
Ugh I missed it…
Anyone who tosses out “white supremacy” loses all credibility instantly.
That’s what parrots who’s cages are left in a room with CNN playing say…
Intelligent people present their criticism with substantive, rational, logic based reasoning. Unintelligent people call those they disagree with names. Unintelligent liberal people call those they disagree with racially charged names.
“Anyone who tosses out “white supremacy” loses all credibility instantly. ”
If ONLY! Or, rather…if it MATTERED. Think how many problems could just go away. I guess Biden has no credibility anyway, but…boy…we’d see half the US cowering from the ridicule they deserve!
You did the right thing! That what a real journalist does to protect the integrity of ongoing cases and potential victims ❤️
Coming from a website filled with only white people and their opinions continue. Kevin sorry you couldn’t become what Kyle did a Hero so they say . So maybe he should thank you because your stuck still in Kenosha hoping maybe one day your journalism might get you on the stage of Turning Point hell maybe even FoxNews. You’ve honestly gained nothing but blocked social medias and wait are you still an Alderman? Anywho freedom of speech and you honestly don’t want me to drop evidence on your racism. And since your an investigator correct can we get investigation into why micheal gravely let out Chrystul Kizer victim when there was tons of evidence he was a predator?! But again happy holidays. Kyle is back on social media and this is your only platform. Sucks. All lives matter I thought? Oh wait nope whites kill whites too and become heros. Some Christians but again merry Christmas to all you lovely folks in Kenosha. KenoshaStrong BLM
Yet here you are crying like the baby you are, filled with white peoples? So you know the gender off a comment? You sound like a wanna be activist and one no one likes in this town. No one asked you to come here and comment but you follow the page and comment like the uneducated troll you are. I’m sure you think wanna be journalists like Kevin Glowicki are real news right? Prolly fits your narrative a little better. Troll on and keep up being uneducated
Maria, shouldn’t you be busy spending your welfare check?
