Minn. mayor gives masks to crowding rioters after warning in-person worship would be 'public health disaster'
Fox News ^ | 052920 | Tyler Olsen

[On churches:] "... I'm looking out for the unique characteristics associated with the city of Minneapolis," Frey said. "Moving up to 25 percent capacity and up to 250 people in places of worship is a recipe in Minneapolis for a public health disaster."

He continued: "That is not the route that we can or should be going on right now. We are considering some form of an emergency regulation ourselves to prevent that number of people gathering in one place."

[On rioters] The Monday comments from Frey underscore how quickly things have changed in Minneapolis. Instead of worrying about keeping worshipers out of their churches or mosques or synagogues, Minneapolis has been unable keep looters out of its stores or its buildings from being burned. Police in riot gear have had debris hurled at them and rioters even took over and burned a police precinct.

Frey, in a plea for peace Thursday night, noted that his government was giving face masks to rioters in an effort to slow coronavirus spread.

More than 25 people in a church or trying to open your business and make a living: Dangerous. We need an emergency order to stop that.

Mobs looting and burning buildings: Here have a mask. We want you to be safe.

Working and going to church are "selfish". Looting and burning is noble.

Well, you have to realize that worship and dining is often indoors. Rioting occurs in the great outdoors, where there is less risk of viral transmission. And the convective currents from burning tend to carry particles upwards.

Thankfully MN is not my state but I would think a good Gov would mandate the gift of handcuffs instead of those masks ...

When I enter my local Home Depot or Walmart I must now stand in a line so the store isn’t overloaded. I want these idiot politiciana in MSP to do the same. Set up a limit on how many looters are allowed in a store at one time. No more than one looter per 50 square feet of store space.

Nope. The Mayor and the rioters are blood brothers. If he is eligible when the proper time comes, the voters will return him to his throne. If not, they will ensconce someone just as bad or worse.

Yeah but look who the rioters are

If you’re stupid enough to riot, then the masks won’t matter.

If Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau was an American Mayor, this is what you would be getting.

Far too old to start over. But it's the thoughts that count.

We all hope and pray it is not another bad night but time will tell.

I couldn’t believe some idiot reporter on MSNBC last night said that the so-called protesters, he did not call them rioters, were actually a calm and orderly group for the most part. He said , yes , there are some buildings burning here and there , but otherwise things are actually fairly tranquil in the streets of Minneapolis.
