Minnesota will have a chance at redemption in 3 months, you can see for yourself whether there is any hope to lance the boil


Minnesota or St. Cloud, SE Rochester, and St. Paul which have the refugee communities from the 90s?

It is interesting that the Hmong groups in those same areas aren't demonized as bad.

If you could just burn a big enough cross they might get it.

Or they might not be bullied so easily.

groups of hmong youth don't go around beating up or carjacking or shooting white people
hmong crime doesn't attract a lot of attention because its so insular, confined to their community, and not the rampant lawlessness of smash and grab looting and street chaos
people care a lot less about stuff nowhere near them that can't affect them, or wouldn't affect them even if they went near it

https://babylonbee.com/news/cities-successfully-preserving-existing-statues-by-re-naming-them-all-karl-marx?utm_content=buffer0b621&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

City councils all over are ordering Karl Marx wigs and putting them on Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, Christopher Columbus, and other statues. The move has proven extremely effective at deterring Antifa and other extremist groups, who are only looking for statues of old hateful white guys to destroy and not statues of communists.

"As soon as enraged rioters see the statue isn't of a dangerous, murderous madman whose ideas killed hundreds of millions but is just of Karl Marx, they move on," said one city council member in Illinois as he put a Karl Marx wig and beard on a statue of Abraham Lincoln. "Well, first, they bow respectfully to their hero and then move on."

Plaques on the statues with controversial quotes from the Founding Fathers are also being covered up with Marx quotes like "Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution!" and "Workers of the world, unite!"

The riots predated federal involvement by weeks. The connection you're trying to draw is invalid.

The police are probably just as responsible for riots as protesters are. Hell, even during the "tear gas cease fire", police used spurious riot declarations to use a loophole in the cease fire and gas civilians. One of those was a cop knocking a phone out of someone's hand, which broke a window at the Portland police association's office, which they then used to justify a riot declaration. It's almost like, when the police and/or feds come loaded for bear, it provokes violence. And when they ease back or stand down (as was the case the past couple of days), things are calmer.

No they’re not lol. I’m really amazed how you guys can selectively ignore the massive body of video evidence from various us cities showing first blm then antifa destroying shit unprovoked and just pretend that never happen then find a few incidents of police responding and focusing on that.
