MPLS Alerts: To ensure the safety of residents, vehicle access will be limited to residents, workers and essential needs in the area from Franklin Ave to W 28th St, and from I-35W to Pillsbury Ave. MPD officers and National Guard will be present at select entry points on these boundaries. Our goal is to enable access for those who need it, while preventing the entry of materials for barricades or fires that could further disrupt or harm the neighborhood. minneapolismn.gov/ice

Motherfuckers murdered an ICU nurse.

In Newspeak, ‘ICU nurse’ = ‘domestic terrorist.’

I would never have thought that Minneapolis would be the place for this sort of thing to happen. I was surprised at the things that went down in Portland but sure didn't think it would move to MN.

This is a bunch of thugs that are getting to play out their hate and their macho with the blessing of this damned administration.

Perfect place for it. What were they going to do? Head to some red southern state with a significant amount of illegals? How would that get the message out? This is about kettling white race traitors. They don’t hit their brown kid quota anywhere they go.

They don’t have enough boots or camps to do what they want, so they have to count on making the most impactful random examples of people they can.

From the Shays's Rebellion, to the Homestead Strike of 1892, to Kent State, violent suppression of protests in the US has occurred every few years since the beginning.

It's not a bug it's a feature of the government as it actually works (not as we would like it to work).

Yeah, one would expect Texas or West Virginia or Louisiana to be a flashpoint. It would have been hard to foresee that Minnesota might be on the verge of being the site on which Civil War 2.0 breaks out. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

This might also dispel a few myths:

1. It's not only conservatives that are obsessed with guns in rural areas. Rural liberals have guns too. And they're smarter.

2. Conservative gun nuts might not side with MAGA when the hated federal government starts flexing its muscle against law-abiding citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment rights - even if they are liberals.

i never wanted to see this drama but it should be entertaining.

I think it's pretty spot on now to compare the ICE to SA: Hired street thugs to intimidate the public by committing extreme violence.

I would not hold your breath on that one.   I've known plenty of those guys, as long as they think no one is coming for their guns, they're consummate bootlickers.

I'm not so sure. If it's a government that buttresses their bigotries, they may be willing to sacrifice liberal gun owners for the "greater good" of getting rid of the minorities and immigrants.

These are not principled people, for the most part. They sure didn't stand up for the several black registered gun-owners killed by police for owning guns legally. Oh, no ... mum's the word.
