Last night offered a warp speed example of mob violence triggered by utterly bogus charges of police misbehavior resulting in the sack of the premier shopping district of a major American city. (snip) Three was no doubt that police were blameless, but that did not stop bystanders from immediately castigating the police with the same sort of bogus claims that led to mob violence in Ferguson, MO and elsewhere, even as they attended to the bleeding corpse of the suicided perp.The mob began pillaging stores along the Nicollet Mall, the Minneapolis version of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile or New York’s Fifth Avenue.

Minneapolis- do you see what happens when your Mayor and Governor allow ‘peaceful protesters’ in your city? This is a Democrat run and approved method for behavior change- keep voting for violence.. defund police- There will be nothing left of Minneapolis- a formerly wonderful city.

The Minneapolis I grew up in was populated primarily by Swedes, Norwegians, Danes and some Finns.
These articles never state any demographic info on who is looting.
My money is on the Finns.

My guess the looters are primarily made up of Reformed Amish. Sort of like regular traditional Amish, but who now follow the Gangsta/Thug credo of weed, whites and wine. They be cool with their beard and black clothes and back packs. Now they packin and they just lookin for a sign. Just show em a sign.
Apologies to Lowell George, Little Feat

Look, the only thing that will make blacks happy is to never be held to a standard or responsible for their actions. In their minds, the police killed this guy by trying to arrest him and making him shoot himself. In their minds, he nor any other black should ever be arrested again. Do you see how f$#@ed up that is? We cannot go forward as a nation with people among us who think this is okay. And corporations, Hollywood and sports teams are sanctioning this behavior.

The coverage locally was jarring! I have spent 25 years of my career in and around these same buildings and parking ramps! The police did a wonderful job of closing down the city and arresting everyone out after the curfew! Won’t ever go back into Minneapolis until something is done! EVER!

Posted this earlier about Kenosa, but evidently, it fits here, as well....
Black thugs like this are right. By "resisting arrest" these days, they take momentum away from the police and put themselves in control. The consequences of whatever happens next -- their own deaths, included -- are entirely up to them, but the blame will be on the police!
Ah, the twisted logic of our times.

I believe I noticed a common denominator with respect to the looters. Guess what it is?

Let's see BLM, Democrats, and the liberal media spins this mob riot and looting as another example of peaceful protesters and police violence. A suspected murderer kills himself and the mob blames police. They feel the need to riot, loot, and destroy. They rage like uncivilized savages with their ubridled hatred and urge to destroy over something, anything, that they perceive as "against them". They are reinforcing every negative stereotype that people are quickly coming to believe about young black people!

I'm still waiting for any republican run city to defund their police so people can start looting and burning. It's just not fair! When do those citizens get a chance to glom onto big-screen tv's and Gucci bags?
Do I need the /S?

Nothing says social justice like setting your neighborhood on fire and looting liquor and basketball shoe stores. Gotta steal those new Nike Airs in memory of the latest ignorant dead thug.

It should be obvious to everyone now. George Floyd and the other dimwitted victims have no connection to the rioting other than to provide a catalyst. Millions of people in this country have been duped into believing that the blacks and Antifa have some other motivation other than pure evil and the love of rioting, looting, murder and mayhem. The BLM appeasers hould be feeling really stupid for giving their money to a bunch of criminals.

Any excuse to loot. We need to go back to the time when looters were shot on sight.

I wish to express gratitude to the deceased for making it possible that we will not have to pay for nor endure a protracted court trial.

Until a good number of looters are shot, it won't stop.

Just wait until they get dissed at McDonalds for not getting enough dipping sauces for their McNuggets. The Golden Arches will burn.
