This is just the beginning.

The owner of a Minneapolis-based manufacturing plant decided to move his company after rioters burned his business down.

Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma said he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the George Floyd riots.

“They don’t care about my business. They didn’t protect our people. We were all on our own,” Wyrobek told the Star Tribune. “The fire engine was just sitting there, but they wouldn’t do anything. That’s the frustrating thing to us.”

Via The Star Tribune:

A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company’s owner saying he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs.

“They don’t care about my business,” said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. “They didn’t protect our people. We were all on our own.”

Wyrobek said the plant, which usually operates until 11 p.m., shut down about four hours early on the second night of the riots because he wanted to keep his workers out of harm’s way. He said a production supervisor and a maintenance worker who live in the neighborhood stuck around to keep watch over the business. He said they became alarmed when fire broke out at the $30 million Midtown Corner affordable housing apartment complex that was under construction next door.

Democrat Governor Tim Walz and Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey allowed rioters and looters to destroy businesses.

Now the Minneapolis City Council is disbanding the police department.

The Star Tribune obtained Minneapolis’ survey of property damage which revealed 1,000 commercial properties were damaged, including 52 businesses that were totally destroyed by rioters — the total cost of the damage is estimated at $500 million.

Do they really expect taxpaying, law abiding citizens and business owners to stick around?

Minneapolis will be reduced to rubble after Muslim no-go zones and lawless looters take over a city with no police to be found anywhere.

A manufacturing company that has been in Minneapolis since 1987 has decided to leave the city.

The fire engine just sat there. The cops just sat there. The National Guard would have just sat there. But the commies didn't just sit there. What a disaster.

“They don’t care about my business. They didn’t protect our people. We were all on our own,”

People treat police like they are an independent entity. They are not. They have very clear bosses - Mayors and City Councils. They do what political leaders say. They are organized by political unions and organized into bureaucratic hierarchies.

So when you say they don’t care or protect you - that is correct. But that concept really needs to be pointed at the politicians above them. THEY don’t care and they won’t protect you.

How many riots, mass looting, and arson did you see in Wyoming? South Dakota? Nebraska? Etc.
Not everywhere is Minneapolis or Manhattan.
Most counties in America are Trump counties.

No it hasn't. That is if you stop eating up the steady diet of psy ops being fed to you 24/7 by a media with a script.

This is (was) a high-end tech business employing a lot of folks.
This guy poured his life into this business working to build it up to what it was before it was totally destroyed by a bunch of feral thugs. Who can blame him for wanting to move out of that shitehole? They wouldn’t even help put the fire out. How’s all those years of paying those business taxes workin’ out for ya, Kris? How’s all those income taxes of his employees over the years workin’ out for them? /s
And IF he lifted a single finger in any way to defend it, he’d been arrested for assault/battery.
Yep. It’s time to move on, Kris. It’s nothing but a third-world shite hole there now and will always be that way with those morons in charge. There’s NO WAY you could ever trust that local government ever again....for anything.
Maybe the governor of Texas, or another red state, that would LOVE to have your business there will reach out to you...maybe give a tax break IF you move the business there and provide assurances that LE and Fire Protection will be there if/when ya ever need em. It’s time to search for the right business environment to locate into.

A growing list of companies going out of business or moving from riot areas would likely be eye-opening to people, especially as some will be minority- or woman-owned. These neighborhoods will take decades to rebuild, if at all.

There is going to be a mass exodus out of the large urban areas, I predict.

The inner cities will be left to the mobs.

I'm sure that lots of cities with respect for law and order, functional police and fire departments, and good business infrastructure would be very happy to have 7-Sigma relocate there.

I wrote to my mayor and city council tonight suggesting they form a committee to reach out to companies evaluating whether to leave insecure areas such as Minneapolis and suggested they contact 7-Sigma.

Here's an irony of ironies. 7-Sigma makes airway simulators to train health care professionals, first responders, EMTs, and Paramedics. They manufacture burn victim simulators in both Caucastion and African American skin colors:

If ANY stay, especially if they actually go through with disbanding the police, they are insane.

Come to think of it, I’m a little surprised that they didn’t specifically target My Pillow, since Mike Lindell is a good conservative, even if the factory isn’t in Minneapolis proper.

I was just thinking about this article and something struck me — MIKE LINDELL, STRONG TRUMP SUPPORTER AND CEO OF THE COMPANY — MYPILLOW, has his manufacturing plant in Minnesota !!

I wonder if his plant is safe.... he has been offered by Chinese businessmen to manufacture in China but he has steadfastly refused because he wants products made in America.

But if his manufacturing plant is in danger, he might follow the exodus trend and might just move elsewhere in this country where there’s law and order.
