A woman in a wheelchair was punched in the head and sprayed with a fire extinguisher after trying to block protesters - allegedly with a knife in her hand - during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis last night. The woman claimed she was 'peacefully protesting' to stop people from looting a Target store, but she was quickly set upon by a crowd who subdued her in angry scenes on the second night of violence in the city. The crowd outside the Target store shouted that the woman had a knife, and footage showed her holding what appeared to be a sharp object. Named online as Jennifer, she later said she had been 'punched in the head several times' before others tried to restrain her.

Has this received any coverage from the US MSM? Should not the loiters be charged with hate crimes since the woman was white????

Another example of the ghetto mentality of the black culture.

Looting & violence at the drop of a hat...for any reason.

It’s absolutely disgusting!!!

Blacks protest being treated like sub-humans by acting like sub-humans.

Yeah, that’ll help... morons.

While the majority of looters were black, white people were looting too.

No worries! The white guilt, cop hating Freepers are totally good about this.

Action, and reporting that can only serve to fan the flames of racial separation... Who could possibly benefit from that?

“Why would a white woman in a wheel chair try to stop a bunch of black thugs from looting a retail chain store. Not too much common sense there.“
****************************************************************
Who knows. But I’m glad she apparently wasn’t hurt very badly. And I’m glad she didn’t kill in self-defense any of the people attacking her. She would have been charged with “attempted false arrest” and felony murder. Ain’t life grand!

It boggles my mind to consider how much more serene and more prosperous this country would be today if we had just picked our own cotton in earlier days.

And don’t forget, his vote must be counted. Mail that man a ballot. Plant the seed and someone will harvest it!

Lootie 2.0. I sense that he’s going to generate a lot of memes.

Jeez, lighten up. Lots of FReepers, myself included, really dislike BAD cops. There’s nothing wrong with that and it certainly doesn’t mean that we dislike the majority who are good, professional cops.

I agree with you both.

I suppose her heart was in the right place, but did she really think she could take on people who were far younger and stronger than her.

Can anyone be so dense to believe that a woman in a wheelchair with a knife would really try to attack a gang of thugs?
The woman must have been scared out of her wits, instinctively reaching for whatever protection she could find. It’s easy for those who were not in her shoes to lecture her about how she could have done things differently.

The important thing is he has on a proper mask. Although he must have used the elastic from his pants to make the mask because his pants are pretty much at half staff.
