I guess we’ll be doing this all summer people. The perpetually whiney and anguished must have their day in the sun. It may create a little bloodshed and tears along the way but there will be plenty of time for public expressions of sorrow tomorrow…two for one!
Twenty-one officers from various Minnesota law enforcement agencies were injured and more than 102 protestors were arrested as a demonstration on the I-94 freeway in St. Paul turned violent Saturday night, with protestors hurling rocks, bottles, fireworks and bricks at law enforcement officers on the scene. … The interstate was shut down in both directions for more than five hours and the protests eventually turned violent, with demonstrators hurling bricks, fireworks and at least one Molotov cocktail at officers, according to the St. Paul Police Department.
The bloom is off the rose. Anyone involved in BLM that isn’t part of this violence had better exit now. This is going to get worse and there is nothing peaceful about it. Like Hillary pretends to be an upright and honest person and Obama pretends to be interested in unity, this group pretends to be for justice. BLM is a platform for hate, vengence, and mahem; it’s a pox on thedecent black people of this country. May the funders and promoters behind the curtain rot in…..
So Tina what did you see as you watched it?
Yes I watched it!
You are clueless to the fact they send in agitators right? Seems to me that may be the case here.
here is some St Paul News
“Around 9 p.m., St. Paul police officers negotiated with protesters to make “symbolic arrests.” The protest remained peaceful until about 9:30 p.m. At one point, as the protest turned violent, children were removed from I-94 for safety measures.”
Partly True. ….The symbolic arrests were calming it down. Then Tear Gas was shot into a car with Children. That upset the protestors. Cops would not let the car through. It calmed down after the children in car were allowed to get out of there to safety.
The streamer off to the side was Hit with rubber bullets and tear gas to the face. They ran over to him past protestors and shot him. He was a white guy with a 2 person crew, well known and clearly marked Microphone ect.
Lots happens you have no clue. MN police are not well trained. Probably have some KKK in them Like Ferguson.
Get a Clue what is going on
There are 2 sides to every story.
I really think agitators showed up. MN is a pretty peaceful protestor place.
Try going to the FBI vault and look up their counter ops pages against Protestors to agitate. decades long! Try being responsible. Things are not as they seem.
We are being fooled into a trap. Mark My Words
Experienced Protestors are very aware of this.
You are right about one thing #NoJusticeNoPeace
And the conventions may not go well either.
“You are clueless to the fact they send in agitators right? Seems to me that may be the case here.”
Sorry Dewey but it’s you who are clueless. I specifically wrote: “Anyone involved in BLM that isn’t part of this violence had better exit now. This is going to get worse and there is nothing peaceful about it.”
It isn’t just that agitators are sent in; it’s that agitators will control what happens and grab the headlines.
No matter the intentions of people who might want to follow in the footsteps of MLK, it isn’t going to happen…they would be wise to drop out and find another way to express themselves.
“police officers negotiated with protesters to make ‘symbolic arrests.’ ”
What the heck is a symbolic arrest? Police officers do not make symbolic arrests (Please correct me, Jack, if I’m wrong). Police officers uphold the law; it would be against the law to arrest someone, “symbolically.”
You have repeatedly lectured all of us to avoid the news and yet here you are telling us what happened according to the news…whats up with that? Are you special?
“Lots happens you have no clue. MN police are not well trained. Probably have some KKK in them Like Ferguson.”
I’ve warned you about making specious assertions. This isn’t factual information, it’s rumor and opinion based on attitude. You are the problem Dewey. This is the kind of garbage that gets people killed.
“Try being responsible”
Ha! Try it yourself!
“Experienced Protestors are very aware of this. ”
Experienced protesters should grow! “Experienced” protester translates to professional agitator and troublemaker. “Experienced protester” protester connotes persons bent on revolution or overthrow, a third world solution. We frown on that in America. We prefer to effect change through the process established in our Constitution.
Justice? There is no justice in flaunting the law to prevent other people from moving about freely or hearing what their candidate has to say. There is no justice in radical civil disobedience that devolves into violence there is only potential for great harm. “Professional protesters” are nothing but bullies who enjoy the idea that they have permission to “get in their face,” act up, and cause trouble!
Re Tina “You [Dewey] have repeatedly lectured all of us to avoid the news and yet here you are telling us what happened according to the news…whats up with that? Are you special?”
Yes, Dewey is special.
Black Lives Matter should re-brand themselves to something closer to the truth of what they are about — Blue Lives Don’t Matter. Seriously, the bloom is off the rose, no need to try and disguise it anymore.
Right on Pie…blue lives can be sacrificed for the cause. That’s how the left works for the “greater good.”
Off Topic …
Raheel Raza is the narrator of a new film released by The Clarion Project called, “By the Numbers.” In it, Raza, who is a Sunni Muslim and the president of the group Muslims Facing Tomorrow, takes a closer look at the numbers of Muslims worldwide who hold what we in America would consider to be radical beliefs.
She does this to shed light on the lie that has been perpetuated by political correctness that consistently tries to shut down any and all discussion of how we can deal with the threat of radical Islam. For example, we’ve heard from our president and Hillary Clinton repeatedly how “99.9% of all Muslims are peaceful.” Raza challenges this statement and others like it — not because she hates Islam, but precisely because she doesn’t want the religion she loves to be taken over by the radicals and terrorists.

This is awesome. The ONLY way to come to a solution is by working through the problem with love and respect.

Pie wisdom has been there all along, it’s in our Constitution. It gets repeated and is there for anyone with an ear to hear. But some are so filled with noise they do not hear. These voices from your link are great examples of wisdom that needs to be heard:
The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand
Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It’s worth it. It’s a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else’s rights, because if you don’t there is no one to defend yours. — MaxedOutMama
I don’t just want gun rights… I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance….I want the whole bloody thing. — Kim du Toit
The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.– Moshe Ben-David
The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been “liberated” to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it’s because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it’s because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. — Sultan Knish
All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. — Billy Beck
Right on point! As long as there are people who deny their individuality and separate into groups to milk or mark the rest, there will never be “unity” in America. When we identified as Americans and appreciated our individual rights we had unity. President Obama blew it from the start. His experience was vested in special interests and division by group.
Thank you Tina. Poignant as always.
Phoenix did it right. The first rock-throwing “protestors” were arrested and carted off to jail. And there was no more violence.
Note to cities: You either take control of the mob, or it will take control of you. It’s too bad that officers and their families in St Paul had to learn that lesson the hard way.
Re LOL Boy’s cryptic warning, “Mark My Words.”
Duly marked, Dewey. All you ever do is rant garbage and exude arrogance.
What a piece of work.
