They are saying it as rhetoric shield so that we look 'hateful and aggresive' against thier prop up narratives.
We know better and are watching thier shit show.
Right., but if you waych the news or programming like 'The View' or anything like that, they (and the politicians) will tell you that riots were 'set upon' by bad actors and 'We' need to rebuild these communities where most protesters live.
Then who pays the bill? The middle class made of white, black, brown, yellow.
Equality is teaching everyone at a 'D' student grade.
Merit is building in what we make and what works we do.
It is not about that, bigot!!
It is about a black guy, who worked witha cop, who also pointed a gun at a pregnant womans belly and a budding porn star. Who was killed by a co-worker, who had worked for this strip joint for 17 years that jas been associated with the CIA for 18 years. Who has had a record of doing shitty over use of power starting 18 years ago.
In the City that BLM started. That then connacted other BLM people in many major cities, while Antifa got the message. Then bricks, water and milk for teargas got distrubeted out of thin air.
Yup it looks like a rhetoric loop so you cannot question any part of it without looking like your no going along with society. Just like CoVId and the Patriot act.
Yeah and it is submission. If they did the opposite and stood with, I dunno, reason... this would be less of a thing. What about the companies pledging money to the ACLU and this and that? They should have just hired private security. Problem fucking solved.
This is horrendous. The list is so long. And this is right after the covid quarantines, when the businesses have little money as it is. How will the city ever recover?
Baltimore has better chance of recovering someday compared to Minneapolis. Baltimore is an hour from D.C., two hours from Philly, and four hours from NYC. It has beautiful harbor area (that's been gentrified), rich nearby suburbs, and one of the most prestigious university/hospitals in the country. I'll also throw in lots delicious crab (food in general is quite good in Baltimore).
My first thought when I saw that was, who the fuck loots a dollar store? I could be walking past one and the CEO could tell me "son, you have all the time you need, take whatever you want" and I'd be like "nah, I'm cool".
Hopefully they have insurance policies that will now write them a large cheque, which they'll use to move to a better part of the country. Leave these animals to clean up their own mess.
My gut feeling is that many small businesses do not have the best insurance coverage and some may have been over-leveraged--though I can't blame people for being optimistic about the state of the economy pre-2020.
Some of these communities are probably finished unfortunately.
You spend years saving, planing researching, finding a need for the community. You put your house up for collateral, to lease a store and start inventory. You cannot afford to hire people to help so you build the store yourself. Weeks of hard labor, but you are finally ready to open. You spend the first years making $4,000 a year working as the only employee 6 days a week for 14 h days. Finally it starts to grow, you are able to hire a local teenager to work the register during slow times so you can focus on improving the store. Slowly but surely, it grows. You now are making a middle class income, still working more than most, but you built it, its yours. You have 3 employees who you have known for a decade. You order from a small manufacturing plant run by a guy just like you, who is delivered by a company run by another guy just like you. You take an interest in your community, helping the local charter school. You are part of organizing a business council that helps police with crimes and the local council with improvement projects.
Then one day, someone screaming "hands up don't shoot" burns your building to the ground demanding justice for police violence and insurance doesn't cover acts of rioting.
Blacks are like abusive spouses. They don’t beat you because they’re full of anger. They beat you cause they are full of love and are just frustrated you won’t accept it!
No Danny, the objective is a RACE WAR ! So that they can really claim reparations after they are badly beaten. These "dindu nuffins" are just pawns in this game.
Yeah, what a great way to make people think differently about the black community. Nope, now many people think the same and even worse. What a great way to bring segregation back.
It's made even worse when you consider that it's not just black people carrying out the rioting and destruction. White, liberal sympathizers are involved too, and as much as they want to "help secure better treatment for black people", their efforts are just making black people look worse.
I just wish the rioters would get bored already and go back to whining on Tumblr and Reddit, so I don't have to fear for my safety whenever I leave the house
They chose the perfect name to front their organization because no regular person would ever think that someone in a group called black lives matter is a terrorist. Of course regular people have never read about what they really want including defunding the police entirely..
same thing with Antifa. all these groups go around calling themselves something that sounds good so no one questions WHY they do what they do. less people believe they're terrorist and people get backlash for saying they are so nothing I done to snuff them out earlier
Don't Make the Black Kids Angry, I don't mean to correct you but it's a good book and I want to make it easier for people to find. I once flew from the east coast to the west coast and read that on the plane, I couldn't put it down and by the end I was pissed off.
The best remedy at this time, is for the owners and operators, to move to different locations, and not reopen in the same area. Keep it bleet, for as long as possible.
Minn Gov Walz should pay every business owner every dime of taxes they ever were charge and also reimburse the owners for their stolen merchandise and damaged businesses.
Hey Pedes,
In Australia so not accustom to the issues you all face as Americans but why do the lower socioeconomic cities when protesting tear down the very things that give them a future? Burned out schools where they need an education, shopping centres that provide jobs, petrol stations etc. it’s so sad to watch because after all this they start from square one. Be awesome for you guys to weigh in on this. Stay safe and MAGA
it’s so sad to watch because after all this they start from square one.
The people doing the looting and burning are NOT business owners - and most of them will lament not being able to buy a their household items from the Dollar store that got burned down, but they won't put much thought beyond that. In fact they'll blame whites for their lack of a dollar store now - rationale being [they forced us to riot!]..
Also, don't forget that even if they burn down an entire city to the point where there are no businesses left for them to get services from, they'll move on to the next major city and repeat the process. I live in CANADA and woke up to smashed glass around the bus stop near my house. There's no excuse for the destruction, but they don't need excuses to be shitty people they were born that way.
Enjoy your food and commerce desert. Who would want to do business in a freshly made shit-hole like that. They can thank the no nut democrat officials they elected who allowed it to happen. They can thank Antifa and Black Lives matter for leading the charge.
1000s of children's parents that were probably just getting by and now, no job to go to
100s of families that could have found housing, but nope, an affordable housing project destroyed too
The only thing not on this list -- universities. Two schools (a charter school and a high school) had some property damage. I count 6 universities, including the University of Minnesota, in the same area... Not one report of damage. Hmm..
It's ok to be upset/horrified/pissed at the abuse of police power, but this is the result of letting your emotions get to you and creating the opening for people who are very bad actors, such as the antifa terrorists, to wreck havoc on the very communities that originated the outcry for "justice".
"Peaceful Protest"
Religion of peace, peaceful protestor, peace keepers... Beginning to think they don't know what the word means
They are saying it as rhetoric shield so that we look 'hateful and aggresive' against thier prop up narratives. We know better and are watching thier shit show.
Right., but if you waych the news or programming like 'The View' or anything like that, they (and the politicians) will tell you that riots were 'set upon' by bad actors and 'We' need to rebuild these communities where most protesters live.
Then who pays the bill? The middle class made of white, black, brown, yellow.

No it really are mostly blacks rioting and looting. White antifas are doing planned arson and destruction (esp of federal buildings).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbxTqyW8yI0
You can see it perfectly in this 30 minute video of someone driving through a rioting and looting area.
that was a great video. Thanks for posting.
It's staggering to see the amount of people with zero morals
Maybe city leaders should have thought about that before they abandoned their people to this MOB.
People improve buildings of their own accord - "muh gentrification"
Residents burn down town - "please come and improve our buildings"
Yes.
Thier is a Revealation coming. Not thier stupid 'Conquer and Divide' Revolution.
One goes round-and-round again. The other reveals where we are.
War is Peace
Trust me, you don’t want to see their “world peace.”
Trump just won 2020 and 2024 too, they burned down the whole fucking city
Piece-full protest... look at all those pieces!
With that much peace you'll beg for a riot.
As funny as that would be.... I think it would cause more riots.
It is not about that, bigot!! It is about a black guy, who worked witha cop, who also pointed a gun at a pregnant womans belly and a budding porn star. Who was killed by a co-worker, who had worked for this strip joint for 17 years that jas been associated with the CIA for 18 years. Who has had a record of doing shitty over use of power starting 18 years ago.
In the City that BLM started. That then connacted other BLM people in many major cities, while Antifa got the message. Then bricks, water and milk for teargas got distrubeted out of thin air.
Yup, this is organic outrage, I am sure.
It's not like the CIA has a history of starting riots, civil unrest, and nation overthrowing
So does Soros
YES....Lawyers who attended Ivy League schools. So much for the myth of "Friends of Color."
Yes. Yale abolished its popular History of Western Civilization course because it "focused too much on White people."
Yup, it is called incentivse.
Trump could say "Black lives matter" and it would cause more riots
No they’d just drop the cause all together. Be beside covid in the list of things forgotten.
MUH THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS!
I was thinking this the other night!
It doesn't matter. Begging hands and bleeding hearts will always cry out for more.
What we need is a list of all the celebs and brands helping to bail out the terrorist scum and Brands that supported """blackouttuesday""".
Just so I can add them to my already large boycott list.
Yup it looks like a rhetoric loop so you cannot question any part of it without looking like your no going along with society. Just like CoVId and the Patriot act.
Good luck making ur own cheese and starting ur own internet lol
They even looted the weed stores in Oakland.
That was gonna be my response if I got come upon by a group of thugs or rioters.
“You kids wana smoke some chronic”. Burn down and tell em I hope they enjoy bad lsd and make my exit.
It's only Orwellian guys, it ain't no big deal.
Sucks when Orwellian is a term when he was alive. Now it’s reality.
Yeah and it is submission. If they did the opposite and stood with, I dunno, reason... this would be less of a thing. What about the companies pledging money to the ACLU and this and that? They should have just hired private security. Problem fucking solved.
This is horrendous. The list is so long. And this is right after the covid quarantines, when the businesses have little money as it is. How will the city ever recover?
It won't. It'll be Baltimore 2.0
Baltimore has better chance of recovering someday compared to Minneapolis. Baltimore is an hour from D.C., two hours from Philly, and four hours from NYC. It has beautiful harbor area (that's been gentrified), rich nearby suburbs, and one of the most prestigious university/hospitals in the country. I'll also throw in lots delicious crab (food in general is quite good in Baltimore).
What does Minneapolis have?
A shit ton of blood thirsty mosquitoes in the humid months.
They will cry about people moving away, call it white flight. (Even though it's anyone with a brain GTFO, including black people)
Whites and money are going to run for the hills man. Ain’t nary a bank loaning to that area for a decade.
Insurance rates will be ridiculous.
Looting a dollar store has surely brought justice to Floyd's tragedy.
My first thought when I saw that was, who the fuck loots a dollar store? I could be walking past one and the CEO could tell me "son, you have all the time you need, take whatever you want" and I'd be like "nah, I'm cool".
This pretty much says it all for me: https://twitter.com/efrostee/status/1266021815236923395?s=20
Wow, I kept scrolling and scrolling and then it hit me...These were people's livelihood and dreams destroyed.
Not banks, or chain stores... Just Middle class buisiness owners.
And no I do not care about thier lineage or color of skin as Americans
Hopefully they have insurance policies that will now write them a large cheque, which they'll use to move to a better part of the country. Leave these animals to clean up their own mess.
My gut feeling is that many small businesses do not have the best insurance coverage and some may have been over-leveraged--though I can't blame people for being optimistic about the state of the economy pre-2020.
Some of these communities are probably finished unfortunately.
Yup, insurance takes up a huge expense so they take on minimal coverage to make a profit. I can definitely see how its over for them.
Like I was telling my wife, business will be back, but it will be in the form of check cashing places, check cashing places everywhere.
Notice, nobody went after the politicians who caused this mess. Distract, divide, conquer
Or the media. They couldn't get everyone riled up without the media.
You spend years saving, planing researching, finding a need for the community. You put your house up for collateral, to lease a store and start inventory.

Fuck anyone who says that.
Black people: "We want to be treated fairly and without prejudice by the police and community!"
Also black people: big riot, such stealing, much violent, wow
Obviously at least part of the black community has found success, but the actions of the rioters reflect incredibly poorly on their community.
If they want people to not be racist, they are going about it the wrong way.
Blacks are like abusive spouses. They don’t beat you because they’re full of anger. They beat you cause they are full of love and are just frustrated you won’t accept it!
No Danny, the objective is a RACE WAR ! So that they can really claim reparations after they are badly beaten. These "dindu nuffins" are just pawns in this game.
It's not racism, it's realism. Diversity was a mistake.
Yeah, what a great way to make people think differently about the black community. Nope, now many people think the same and even worse. What a great way to bring segregation back.
It's made even worse when you consider that it's not just black people carrying out the rioting and destruction. White, liberal sympathizers are involved too, and as much as they want to "help secure better treatment for black people", their efforts are just making black people look worse.
I just wish the rioters would get bored already and go back to whining on Tumblr and Reddit, so I don't have to fear for my safety whenever I leave the house
I hope NONE of those businesses rebuild there.
How to turn your city into Detroit, by Antifa and blm.
Diversity of thought or diversity of skin color? One is what brought us our greatness and the other is just a dog and pony show.
Yeah the taxes are shit there and traffic is on par with LA
So wierd. Most seem to be local run business. I guess 'We The People' need to trust our chain stores after CovID and Peacful protests
1991, 2008, 2020 - are we seeing the plan yet?
Maybe we should give them more hugs and kneel more. Apparently, that’s what is needed! 🤤
And have a blackout on FB
How is BLM not a domestic terror group yet. They literally started this.
They chose the perfect name to front their organization because no regular person would ever think that someone in a group called black lives matter is a terrorist. Of course regular people have never read about what they really want including defunding the police entirely..
same thing with Antifa. all these groups go around calling themselves something that sounds good so no one questions WHY they do what they do. less people believe they're terrorist and people get backlash for saying they are so nothing I done to snuff them out earlier
Me too.
This is a few days old, but: https://i.redd.it/hbshc5ak0r151.png
They even looted and burned two post offices. That makes sense.
Federal charges time. Don't fuck with the mail.
Jesus fucking Christ I kept scrolling and like after two ads I thought I’d get to the end. I fucking gave up there were so many businesses.
Good luck blacks people you really fucked yourselves now.
Rename to New Somolia
Did they, though? None of them have been arrested or faced any consequences.
The consequences will be generational. Their children will have near zero prospects and grow up in an economic wasteland.
Good. I don't feel bad for any of them.
Reminds me of the book “don’t make the black kids mad” but we can now add brown shirt white libs as well!
Don't Make the Black Kids Angry, I don't mean to correct you but it's a good book and I want to make it easier for people to find. I once flew from the east coast to the west coast and read that on the plane, I couldn't put it down and by the end I was pissed off.
Thanks for the correction! Just tried last night :) scary times!
The bill should be sent to all those BLM groups that raised a ton of money yesterday
George Floyd was a thug and a career criminal. He committed a home invasion in 2007 where he beat up a pregnant woman.
Good riddance.

The best remedy at this time, is for the owners and operators, to move to different locations, and not reopen in the same area. Keep it bleet, for as long as possible.
Just think everybody put their livelihoods into these only to have their life’s work destroyed by savages
Was Little Mogadishu affected at all?
Someone on left said it's fine because of insurance and gofundmes for those who don't.
who the fuck has "riot insurance"? it's like acts of God. insurance isnt going to cover this.
I linked this article earlier, glad it's been stickied for more to see.

Minn Gov Walz should pay every business owner every dime of taxes they ever were charge and also reimburse the owners for their stolen merchandise and damaged businesses.
No one should be forced to pay for that rebuild.
That's a lot of red pills. I can't wait for the President to address this.
So progressive
They're making progress destroying things
Or that goatherders that had trouble flying a prop plane could maneuver a 747 at 500mph at altitudes that would give fighter pilots trouble.
Weird, were any of the universities or colleges ransacked? NO? Hmmmm, wonder why that is.

Well I for sure won't be moving to Minneapolis
This level of damage is equal to several concurrent natural disasters. How awful.
Good luck getting insurance in blue shitholes and sanctuary cities. Actuaries won't fuck around with this greater risk.
Quite a business.
All the liquor stores looted. Stay thirsty.
This looks like a lot of small independent shop owners... so much for sticking it to mega corps and uplifting the little guy. But we knew that.
Democrats burned down they're own cities. And smiled and cheered while it happened. I'll never let them forget it.
haha car go brr
Goddamn they took Matt’s Bar too?
This is the Democrat Party. Thanks Nancy and Chuck.
The count is up to 360 businesses damaged and 66 businesses destroyed according to the strib https://m.startribune.com/these-minneapolis-st-paul-buildings-are-damaged-looted-after-george-floyd-protests/569930671/
You know.. I probably wouldn't be anywhere near as mad if they looted or burnt down a politicians office : /
I'm just saying.. if a pallet of bricks showed up outside Schumer's office instead of a convinence store. I can probably look the other way....
There are so many..!
Enjoy your food and commerce desert. Who would want to do business in a freshly made shit-hole like that. They can thank the no nut democrat officials they elected who allowed it to happen. They can thank Antifa and Black Lives matter for leading the charge.
