Black-owned businesses surrounding the area where George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis last year say they are in desperate need of help from police. Black merchants operating on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, known as George Floyd Square, are struggling to stay open due to rampant crime and say police have blocked off the intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone, according to the New York Post. “The city left me in danger,” the owner of Smoke in the Pit said Thursday, two days after Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder for Floyd’s death. “They locked us up on here and left us behind.”

Comments:

Let’s see. Rules are posted for whites visiting the square. Strict rules. They have not been abandoned. Their wokeness has put them in peril… A few weeks or months ago they were probably all for BLM, Antifa and Defund the Police.

White people tend to work and have money. We also tend to be pretty color-blind when it comes to shopping and eating -- if it's good, we are going there to spend our money. But turn a square into a "hate whitey" center, and white people with more than 6 working brain cells are going to tend to avoid that area at all costs. So a bunch of self-hating white lie-beral snowflakes (who don't tend to have any money since they live in mommy's basement and just can't understand why they don't have great jobs after getting a "women's studies" degree from some overpriced private college) will visit there to hate themselves and their race. But all those sane hard-working white people (and their money) are staying very far away. And this is the logical conclusion of that!!!

...but, but, but I thought you wanted to defund the police! Can't have it both ways. Either the police get to do their jobs or not. You can thank BLM and Antifa and Joe Biden for this.

And what did you brainiacs think was going to happen? Without law enforcement life would be a cross between sesame street and the chocolate factory? Instead your turning Minneapolis into a large Spahn Movie Ranch. If you care to look, ever since the blm/antifa/defend the police movement began more black lives have died as shown by statistics of the increasing murder rates than have been killed by the police. So keep giving to and supporting a organization where in reality your black life or anybody else's does NOT matter. Ask yourselves what are the true desires of the blm hierarchy? Not to hard to figure out unless you are a self loathing little snowflake that can't handle the reality of their life choices.

To put an end to all this BLM garbage is for the blacks to have a civil war of their own, with the whites standing by. Once the dust is settled, the conservative blacks should be the victors. We had ours, now it’s their turn.

Well, we are expected to go by the new BLACK cultural norms. Knife fights are apparently now ok. There are special rules for any White folks who might be brave (foolish) enough to venture anywhere near George Floyd Square. I also guess that petty crime is something that is acceptable also per Black activists. Apparently police need to check the ages of anyone before they attempt any kind of intervention, and if they resist, they are to let them go on their way as if nothing happened (even if they have a Warrant for their arrest). You see, all of the new rules and regulation requested / demanded/ suggested by the media, woke celebrities, BLM, ANTIFA, woke politicians. Also, if someone has a knife or gun, police shouldn't take action. They should call a Social Worker to talk to the person before doing anything. I'm sure the shooting/stabbing victims will understand. And business owners....stop your whining about business. Your greedy Capitalist agenda is oppressing people and creating global warming. Global warming is the leading cause of police shootings of Black people. Stop being so selfish!

To watch the hours of celebratory fist-pumping from government officials and black activists after the guilty verdicts against police officer Derek Chauvin this week, you’d think Minnesota had just won the NCAA tournament. One man is dead and another will be spending up to 40 years in prison. How about Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison show a little dignity, with something like: “We had the trial; we’ve got a verdict; I’m not taking any questions”? Nope! We got a one-hour spirit rally for the championship team. The key was teamwork. Our guys practiced every night — staying even after the gym had closed! We couldn’t have done it without the fans.

In an interview with "Face the Nation," Demings reflected on her time as a patrol officer and said those working in the community have to make split-second decisions.

Wind and solar energy are both essentially obsolete technologies. There is a reason why only the very rich or the very adventurous sail across oceans: the wind is unreliable, and at best produces relatively little energy. Nevertheless, liberals have concocted fantasies whereby all of our electricity, or perhaps our entire economy, will be powered by those fickle sources. There are a number of reasons why this will never happen, but a paper published last week by Center of the American Experiment argues that land use constraints are the most basic reason why wind and solar are inexorably destined to fail.
