(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) In yet another example of the consequences produced by so-called criminal justice reforms that put woke policies above law and order, an alleged arsonist and vandal who was out on cash bail for his violent participation in the 2020 Kenosha riots was arrested last week for a string of felony crimes he allegedly committed while roaming loose.
During the Kenosha riots, Joshua Ziminski was accused of firing a gunshot into the air that ultimately led to Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shooting in self-defense two rioters who were chasing him during the Antifa and BLM mayhem in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse was found not guilty last November on all felony charges he faced.
Ziminski and his wife, Kelly Ziminski, were arrested earlier this month for allegedly attempting to rob a man at knifepoint, according to the Kenosha County Eye. Both Ziminiskis were charged with armed burglary, robbery with threat of force, intimidation, false imprisonment, ID theft and misdemeanor battery.
Well, well, well. Joshua Ziminski, the “man” who fired the first shot in Kenosha after teaming up with Joseph Rosenbaum to ambush a 17-year-old carrying a fire extinguisher has been charged with multiple violent felonies. @ThisIsKyleR https://t.co/nMBs3Sv6tu

After posting a ridiculously low $1,000 cash bond for his alleged rioting crimes, Ziminiski was originally slated for trial in January.
That got sidetracked when Ziminiski, who has an upside-down crucifix, three teardrops and the word “SIN” tattooed on his head, was accused of intimidating a witness. The trial date got rescheduled and Kenosha’s leftist prosecutor refused to charge Ziminski, who was released after posting a bond bumped to $13,000, because, you know, intimidating a witness and all.
In August, Ziminski and his wife allegedly conned their way into a man’s house, robbed and beat him and forced him at knifepoint to drive them to several ATMs. After the man’s bank card failed to work at any of the ATMs, he was able to escape, the Kenosha News reported.
The Ziminskis were arrested and charged earlier this month. Both are being held on $100,000 cash bonds and are expected to appear in court Sept. 23 for preliminary hearings.
