We do not want to even come close to making a martyr out of any of these jackasses. Give me ***** but if your business is burned there is a great chance you will get the funds to rebuild. I say stay away and let bright lights shine on these *****sticks. It's just a choice, so I have no reason to give you ****. What I do know is that if my company was under attack by a bunch of hired thugs, every one of my employees would be armed and by my side to protect it, and it has little do with much of anything other than standing up for what we've built and letting everyone know we will not just let anyone destroy it just to avoid a bad scene. Sixteen years we've been sacrificing and building this company for everyone and their families. Most of us have been together for 25 years. No one gets to destroy our company based on the great chance I'll get funds to rebuild it. But again, it's a choice I make as a small business owner. You would choose to let it go. Just a different choice. 6

Not much incentive to prevent catastrophe anymore. It's a profitable business model. Not for us of course, but that is the point after all. At least the bankers are safe. Always have been, always will. If the feds (finally) say no to more money, does that mean the next time this happens mayors will not have police stand down?

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) 33 police officers were injured there last night, 47 vehicles damaged/destroyed. But hey, a "light touch" is the perfect solution! Edited May 31, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 4

Among the current crop of mayors, who knows, but perhaps elections would have better consequences with less free money floating around to clean up the mess of so many apathetic people living with latent sociopathy in their neighborhoods. I still have hope. 1

B-Man Posted May 31, 2020 Author Posted May 31, 2020 Questions raised over masked white man with umbrella seen calmly smashing windows before Minneapolis riots by Oliver O'Connell Original Article As protests and unrest continued in Minneapolis following the killing of George Floyd, people are questioning the identity of a man filmed smashing windows. Footage emerged of the white man, dressed all in black, and in gloves and boots, calmly smashing the windows of an auto parts store with a large hammer. His face is obscured by an expensive-looking gas mask and he is also holding an open black umbrella — although it was not raining. Twitter quickly christened him 'Umbrella Man'. The strange choice of clothes for a warm day, combined with the high quality gas mask, raised suspicions. Too bad no one thought to arrest him.......... 2

After four nights without police presence, Minneapolis neighborhoods protect themselves Star Tribune [Minneapolis, MN], by Liz Sawyer * Original Article After four long nights without assistance from first responders in the wake of riots and looting after the death of George Floyd, Longfellow residents decided to take matters into their own hands.

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 It has not been about a protest since the rioting started in Minneapolis. But, the end of this short video ? 1

Do we get released from house arrest yet, or do we have to riot too? I said this yesterday lol. It’s over. Get people back to work. Too much free time leads to doing dumb things. It’s happening in front of our eyes. 1
