Minnesota, learn the lessons of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
And do it NOW before more people die. The photo below is an award-winning picture taken by Jim Piwowarczyk for Wisconsin Right Now. It is a photo of the state of Wisconsin Department of Corrections building burning in Kenosha, WI, during the Jacob Blake riots.
Buildings were torched by arsonists during a riot stoked by incendiary statements from Democratic politicians (Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, then-Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes) after a man wanted on a sex offense warrant (Jacob Blake) was shot by a police officer. Blake was armed with a knife; there were kids in the car (it was a shooting later ruled justified by the Democrat DA).
There are parallels between Kenosha and Minneapolis. There are also parallels with the previous riots in Minneapolis, where the police station was burned.
➡️Reckless statements from Democrat politicians, who stoke the grievances and anger against law enforcement contrary to the facts. Yes, they’re at it again, including Barnes, who is now running for governor. Wisconsin Assemblyman Ryan Clancy, a socialist Democrat, even called openly for people to resist and obstruct ICE, with no pushback from political colleagues.
➡️Too many average folks on social media demonizing law enforcement and misunderstanding use-of-force laws, ratcheting up tensions. A careful analysis of the Renee Good shooting shows that, while tragic, it was a justified use of force, since she ran into the agent with her car (just like Blake’s shooting was justified despite the social media rabble using it to call law enforcement officers vile names and riot)
➡️Abject failure of police, city, and state leadership to restore order to the streets, even as officers and citizens are increasingly endangered.
➡️An armed anarchist mob descending on the city from elsewhere.
➡️Delays calling up the National Guard, even after a federal agent was attacked with a shovel and broom handle, leading to a second shooting. Agents have been doxxed and their cars ransacked.
➡️Citizen video of a shooting (Good, Blake) stoking tensions.
➡️Police leadership inaction is forcing citizens to protect themselves or their property.
➡️Chaos in the streets where people are being attacked randomly. Remember that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted because the convicted child molester Joseph Rosenbaum chased him into a used car lot that he was protecting after one down the street burned (Rosenbaum and another man died that day). The second man likely mistakenly thought Rittenhouse was an active shooter when he attacked him with a skateboard.
➡️A legacy media determined to sanitize the anarchists (after Kenosha, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel actually wrote a story explaining why they were censoring Rosenbaum’s criminal history from readers).
The difference?
➡️No arsons in Minneapolis, at least not yet.
➡️The race angle isn’t present among the agitators (although it’s present among illegal immigrants, obviously). The current Minnesota agitators don’t appear very diverse.
➡️Whistles weren’t as prevalent in Kenosha. The rioters used Roman candles and threw water bottles at cops instead. It was a more concentrated riot, in which the cops were in armored vehicles and pushed rioters out of the park, where they were semi-controlled, and into the business and residential districts, where they were abandoned to fight, burn businesses, and threaten residents without push back. It was a completely disastrous strategy. And it ultimately led to the political realignment of Kenosha, a historically Democrat County that now has a Republican county executive, DA, sheriff, and (until recently) County Board.
➡️Obviously, the death of Good. Blake lived. No one else has died yet, thank goodness, but remember that Rittenhouse didn’t happen the first day.
➡️The immigration angle. The feds weren’t in Kenosha aggressively until after K.R., and, once they showed up, it stopped.
➡️A stronger, more robust citizen media that isn’t getting censored this time (we actually were banned from this platform for live streaming for 60 days because of our unsanitized videos of the Kenosha riots.)
THIS IS DANGEROUS. Have leaders learned nothing?
SOLUTIONS:
➡️The Minneapolis police need to protect ICE and the citizenry.
➡️Democrat politicians there and elsewhere (including Wisconsin) should stop the inciting rhetoric against ICE and call for order.
➡️People on social media should educate themselves on the use of force and immigration laws.
➡️The National Guard should be called in if the police don’t get control fast. In Kenosha, as noted, things only calmed down after the U.S. Marshals showed up.
🚨RUNDOWN OF THE VIOLENCE🚨
The scenes in Minneapolis were very violent last night. The mob is now attacking counter-protesters (some admittedly provocateurs), accusing random guys of being ICE agents, and ordering people just walking down the street to remove their USA hoodie or (this one in Columbus) demanding they say “Fuck ICE.”
➡️A pro-ICE man was attacked with a flagpole.
➡️A guy was ordered to take his USA hoodie off on the street, surrounded, and they were grabbing him. “Take it off, and you won’t get hurt. Take it the Fuck off,” he was ordered.
➡️Some tech bros were just trying to have lunch when they were confronted by a mob who thought they were ICE. “If you’re not with us, you’re against us,” they were told.
➡️Another man was just trying to get food and was surrounded by honking whistle-blowing agitators because he was driving a rental car with Texas plates.
➡️A man was knocked down by the mob, which accused him of being a “Nazi,” before realizing he was “one of us.” His offense was wearing camo. (Video attached)
➡️The ICE commander confirmed that anti-ICE rioters are vandalizing cars in hotel parking lots in case they belong to ICE. He said they “indiscriminately” vandalized vehicles in the parking lot, even those not owned by ICE. They are “throwing nails out in parking lots where our government vehicles aren’t even located.”
➡️A leftist protester in Ohio trailed a random guy down the street and demanded he say, “Fuck ICE,” screaming at him.
➡️A prominent hotel where ICE was staying in Minneapolis is closing its doors due to “safety concerns.”
➡️Leftist agitators were openly videotaped carrying large firearms.
➡️Anti-Islam influencer/provocateur Jake Lang, who was pardoned after being imprisoned for Jan. 6, says he was stabbed. Videos show him being surrounded and attacked by the mob.
You won’t get the full sense of what’s happening from the legacy media, which is writing sanitized accounts. You have to watch the video feeds of the brave independent and citizen journalists wading into the mob.
