Minneapolis Under Attack

[Windwalker]

The riots here in the Twin Cities are being caused by out of town militias. They are coming in SUVs without licence plates, or fake yellow temp stickers on them. 80% of the arrests that have occurred are from these groups from out of town. They are organized and planning coordinated attacks in neighborhoods. Their plan is to disrupt government and create civil unrest.

There is a very good chance our city might soon be placed under martial law, if this goes the direction I am fearing. These are domestic terrorists, not peaceful black protesters. They are here to take advantage of this and advance their greater agenda to create chaos and pandemonium and disrupt government.

Gov. Tim Walz: We're 'under assault' from outside agitators


P.S. This is all very surreal, but it's really happening in neighborhoods. People are reporting seeing these groups coming into town and purchasing supplies from major hardware stores in the area. It is all a bit unnerving.

Stay safe, WW.

It will be very interesting to see who exactly these people are who have been arrested.

This is unlikely to end well.

Sorry to hear it if this situation is stressful / unnerving.. well as the character of contemporary behavioral choices become more 'poor,' perhaps this will push me further toward the upper left-hand corner of the political compass. It's not that I want to be an 'authoritarian-leftie,' but this just seems like more evidence that freedom is radioactive to a lot of people. Discipline before freedom

I've no doubt that this is terrifying, but I have to ask if you have considered whether black Americans (and other Americans, as well) might not have been feeling as if they've been under attack for a very long time? And whether this might be a response to that?

I did come across this article which might shed some light on who the outside agitators are: Minnesota Officials Link Arrested Looters to White Supremacist Groups

Department of Safety Commissioner John Harrington said they are contact-tracing the arrested and added that an investigation is underway about white nationalist groups posting online to encourage their members to use the protests as a cover to create chaos.

He said some of the 40 arrests made in the Twin Cities Friday night were of people linked to white supremacist groups and organized crime.

“The people that are doing this are not Minneapolis residents,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. “They are coming largely from outside the city outside the region to prey on everything we have built.”

On Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump said military police were ready to deploy to Minneapolis if the governor asked.

“We have our military ready, willing and able, if they ever want to call our military. We can have troops on the ground very quickly,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “They’re using their National Guard right now, as you know.”

Meanwhile, Trump has the military standing by.

Yeah, it's got nothing to do with all the criminals Dem governors were releasing at all, lol.

So, Antifa is a white supremacist group? Haha, I love it!

 

[Lyndon]

so its extreme far right white people responsible for much of the crime, figures!!

I'm sure we'll hear more about these individuals in the coming days, but this is what the preliminary reports were indicating. It didn't say anything about Antifa, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were there too.

Keep safe, WW, and thanks for the update.

Yep, typical antifa member. He must have infiltrated the Minnesota police just to make them look bad.

You must not have read those two posts I made to your posts stating exactly this, before you pointed out the obvious to me. But these are the facts as they are being shown to be the case, not just in our city but others, that are targeted by these outsiders.

From the article:

“Our cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are under assault,” Walz said, suggesting that a growing number of rioters are coming from outside the city, and possibly outside the state, in what he called “an organized attempt to destabilize civil society.”

Walz said as many as 80% of the people causing destruction and fire in the cities could be from elsewhere. He distinguished the wanton looting and vandalism from the legitimate and mostly peaceful protests that began Tuesday, the day after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police.

It was not clear if the outside groups suspected to be playing a part in the mayhem are made up of white supremacist agitators, left wing anarchists, or both.

.....

Authorities said they made about 40 arrests overnight in Minneapolis and St. Paul, mostly for burglary, curfew violations and destruction of property. Hennepin County jail logs showed detainees from Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois and Alaska.

Gov. Tim Walz, other Minnesota officials call on people to follow curfew tonight

Actually, that guy in the video was recording going into the police precinct after he did that. And he is a cop, his ex-girlfriend identified him.

I believe the circumstantial evidence he is a cop is extremely compelling. My earlier comment was slightly sarcastic.

Where it gets really interesting is whether or not he was acting on his own, or if his agitation is part of a coordinated whole. And if it IS part of a wider operation, who's organising it?
