Tonight In The Twin Cities - Riot Update

Posted on 05/30/2020 9:29:48 PM PDT by MplsSteve

Sorry, this is a Vanity Post!

Just giving you a quick update from the Twin Cities...

The Mpls and St Paul Police, along with the National Guard and State Patrol are doing a stellar job of breaking up any problems tonight.

They were out early before dark driving protestors away from the 5th Precinct HQ with a barrage of tear gas and fkash bangs. The two latter items are being used liberally across the city.

The rioters are scattered in many smaller groups across parts of south Minneapolis. There is no safety in numbers factor for them. The police has organized strike force groups going after them.

There are several Blackhawk helicopters flying over coordinating things with the ground forces.

Per local news, in some neighborhoods, people have been coming out yelling at the protestors and telling them to get the hell out of their neighborhood.

There is a night and day difference between last night when police and the Guard couldn't be found.

On the St Paul side, they are reporting few problems - even along University Avenue.

There are scattered rumors of very small activities in other parts of Minnesota but no one seems worried.

Governor Walz held a press conference at 10:30AM. He looked relieved that things were going so well. So did Mayor Jacob Frey.

“Per local news, in some neighborhoods, people have been coming out yelling at the protestors and telling them to get the hell out of their neighborhood.”

Chasing them down and kicking the lever loving snot out of them wouldn’t be a bad idea at this point.

This whole mask wearing thing was probably part of “the plan” for these riots so that facial identification would be difficult.

Yeah, the Governor of Minnesota is an absolute moron.

At least last night the mayor of Atlanta was in no mood to tolerate any crap. For a lib, she didn’t do half bad.

The killing of George Floyd was the Reichstag fire. What we are witnessing now is Kristallnacht.

Sounds like they figured things out, after millions of dollars of damage.
I would love to have listened to the convo between MN and the Defense Sec and Gen Milley. Something about, get the job done or else.

Yup. Been sayin it weeks. When all the Dems were screaming for masks and mask shaming folks. Everybody said it was for safety...I thought, hell yeah especially if you are a criminal. Most states have “no mask in public” laws, but never heard a Governor suspend that though. It’s like they wanted everyone to be ready for “The Coming Insurrection”

To be followed by jus primae noctis...well maybe not.

The National Guard has been released in Minneapolis to do the job that the Democrat Mayor couldn’t do. Should have been used 2 days ago & there would not have been damage & Police Headquarters would not have been taken over & ruined. Great job by the National Guard. No games!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2020

A couple whiffs of buckshot by the Citizens in EVERY neighborhood would help as well.

You can still recognize a person by their eyes if they are wearing a mask.

Ski masks are the proper choice for those hiding their identity. Ski masks will not prevent spread of Covid-19.

I love that POTUS Trump pointed out the “Democrat Mayor”.

Lay this SQUARELY AT THE DEMOCRATS’ ffet, and pin it on their backs.

They OWN this.

Faux News doing a live report (12:04 am CT) and looks like nothing is going on in Minnedishu.
