A 59-year-old Zimmerman woman told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS she had an extreme medical emergency May 29 but was delayed getting specialized treatment during Twin Cities riots and is now paralyzed from the waist down.
Retired Minnesota National Guard Master Sgt. Launette Figliucci said she had a spinal stroke and needed to be airlifted to a metro hospital that specializes in emergency stroke care, but airspace over the metropolitan area was restricted at the time and major highways were closed as well due to the rioting.

Should be national news, but it ain’t.
But how about this: sue the guvnor, mayor, city council, and their dogs.
Then file some kind of lawsuit against Soros and get a bit of his money.
Money will not erase the pain and certainly will not restore her legs. But it will help.

Toss a rock into a pool of water and it has ripples. Whatever you and I do has a similar effect. We may me "individuals" with rights, but we are also members of a race - the human race. If we do good, it has effect. If we do wrong (even behind closed doors) it has an effect.

So riots have consequences? Who knew? Sounds like a nice juicy lawsuit. Lin Wood, call your office.

I'm very sorry that this happened. She will now require specialized care for the rest of her life. It's time that she sues both BLM and Antifa.

Explanation of spinal stroke in relatively simple language. They are rare.

#7, my father-in-law had a brainstem stroke...also rare. But the devastating effects are life-long lasting.
This woman was denied treatment and should sue the pants off her local and state governments--FOX NEWS, pick this one up! She should be national news. It's up to us to make it go front and center. A TV ad from the GOP, "this could happen to you (or a loved one)" if you don't defend and clean up American cities. TRUMP/PENCE 2020!

Our paramedics now give the option of having clot-busting medication administered when they arrive at wherever the stroke victim is located. They must have the patient’s approval or that of the person having their medical power of attorney, and the approval of their physician (by phone). Her clot would not have been in her spinal cord, but in a blood vessel supplying blood to the spinal cord.
The problem with immediate administration of clot-busting meds is that there is a small but real chance that the stroke is hemorrhagic rather than ischemic (clot).

This is a prime example of why the BLM/Antifa/democrat governors/mayors are so full of it their eyes are blackened. This is on all those blue city mayors and their governors for allowing these riots to get so far. I am sorry this happened to her, and it is time to hold the mayors and governors personally responsible. This is on them for enabling and supporting rioters and destruction.

Wow! I would say sue the Governor and the State for not providing a safe way for travel, both on the Road and in the sky. Especially in case of emergency. That falls on Gov. Walz. This could happen anywhere that BLM and Antifa is allowed to block Roads, Hospital entrances and most other streets that stop free travel for people in that state who expect their police and people in charge to keep them safe. I think this woman is going to be a Multi-Millionaire before this one is settled!!
