MINNEAPOLIS, MN– The New York Post reported that black-owned businesses at the intersection where George Floyd died in May 2020, now known as George Floyd Square, are pleading for, among other things, help from police. [Tweet] Black merchants near the once-thriving corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue said police have abandoned the blocked-off intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone that has seen crime spoke and business evaporate.
Owner of Smoke in the Pit restaurant said:
“The city left me in danger.”
The merchant, who asked to be identified only as Alexander W, for fear of reprisals, added:
“They locked us up on here and left us behind. They left me with no food,

You all should've been a lot more careful about what you wished for in SO many ways.

You voted for the communist death democrats to run your city. Actions have consequences. Especially when voting. You made your bed now lie in it.
No sympathy.

Live with it. I would bet that you contributed to BLM. If you don't like it than take a stand and condemn the entire movement. Otherwise live with it.

Black Lives Matter! Black businesses don't. Businesses represent Black self sufficiency and Capitalism. All good BLM Blacks know that you can't have that . Successful Black businesses destroy the Black oppression narrative. Right now, the only one's oppressing Blacks are other Blacks who have a vested interest in the racial issues continuing.

Be patient, that reparations check is in the mail. Chances are you won't be smart enough to use it to move to Idaho. The guilty verdict on Chauvin was supposed to end the "crime spoke."

John Nolte's quote is to the point: “But Democrats have no interest in helping anyone other than themselves and if every blue city in America has to be burned to the ground in order to hide the fact that Democrats cannot handle the most basic tasks of governing (and nothing is more basic than keeping people safe), they will see to it that those cities burn.” Rather than lose political power, Democrats would rather preside over hollowed out, dysfunctional cities. Their policies lead not to prosperity but to ruin, and approximately half of the population vote for such policies. The coming breakpoint is not far away.

Minneapolis is well on it’s way to the third world.
Unchecked liberalism has consequences.

A lot of people want the benefits of an orderly, law-abiding community but don't want to do any of the labor. For black businesses to thrive in this area they need safe, clean streets, well-mannered customers, and support for free enterprise. They have none of that.

Sacrifices have to be made in the name of racial equity, and black business owners will be sacrificed to the mob.

Black Lives Matter - except when they don't. Your business must be sacrificed for the cause. Get on board brother.

A lawless zone filled with senseless violent crime, no possibility of economic activity, none of the amenities that are produced in a civilized place, and residents pleading for handouts so they can exist on a basic level. In other words they transformed the area into Africa in microcosm, a model for all to emulate.

You have no choice but to AMMO UP and wait for the perps...as soon as they start to attack you or your business, it's time to defend your property!
You can mop up later!

Democrats claimed that they wanted to fundamentally remake America. In Minneapolis they are remaking the city to look like Somolia so that the current residents feel more at home with lawlessness, riots, crime, murders, and not open businesses. Next on Minneapolis street: warlord or control by gang members.

The existence of autonomous zones violates so many laws regarding freedom of association and commerce. Governments are in existence to enforce laws and preserve the freedom of citizens to come and go as safely as possible.
Putting up piles of crap in the middle of the street to "honor" a dead thug, pitching a sign and claiming territory that does not belong to you, is against the law and needs to be dealt with. If the citizens of liberal cities keep voting for the kind of government that allows deadbeat criminals to interfere with businesses and even traveling on city streets, then it is on them at this point.

Switch parties, normal Black citizens. There is nothing to gain from the Democrats. Switch now before it is too late for everyone.

Sorry, you're caught in the nirvana of wonderfulness created by your black buddies.
Enjoy.
Perhaps one day you'll want to go back to sanity and a new reality with the police enforcing laws. Either way, you made this bed, now sleep in it.

Take it up and appeal to BLM they did it to you. What was said by some black leader, "ya'll have insurance". Go to State Farm or Farmers Insurance you're in good hands. The police can't help you after the fact. Next time go LA Asian on them.

Will the benevolent BLM shower the needy with some of their millions in woke corporate donations?
I didn't think so.

Any bets on who they voted for? I’m guessing Xiden and Omar.
