How did I not know this about our National Security Advisor?
Here the fuck we go.
Tanker truck drives into a peaceful protest on the highway which had previously been shut down to traffic.
I am, as they say, beside myself. This is our city. This is our beautiful city, which is nothing more or less than the beautiful people who live here, and here evil men are out to murder them.
e: looks like the truck driver did so obviously intentionally, and then got cold feet at the last second. Protesters pulled him out and beat the shit out of him but he’s in hospital with “non-life-threatening injuries.”
Damn shame. Maybe he’ll get an antibiotic resistant infection while he’s in there, though!
My wife showed me pictures of the protest in my small town on Facebook. Only a few people, but still heartening to see a bunch of people with black lives matter posters and signs. Almost all of them were white people, but that is our small town.
How about we drag every single white-supremacist militia fuckhead out in the street and let them plead their case, then let the citizenry decide their fates?
Fucking evil sons of bitches. I am not even in my own head right now.
No, but I’m right there with you.
Ha! Yes, I was thinking in terms of the national authority. I have no idea how local authorities are going to navigate this as it escalates.
Truck was leaking gas apparently.
Police still fucking up peaceful protesters. Jesus fuck.
Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering. If you’re the mayor of Minneapolis, how do you think you bring this to some kind of conclusion?
Mayor of Minneapolis is already sidelined and out of this.
The fucking fascists running the police response should all be prosecuted. I am on record as being on board with just shutting shit down after sundown. But these nonstop assaults on the citizenry before the curfew, the macing of protesters who weren’t doing anything but kneeling and holding up a fist, that shit has to go.
It has to go.
Fuck you.
@stusser @tomchick @clay please, please, remove this asshole

Before anyone responds to what I assume is a reply from Incendiary Lemon (since he’s the only person I have on ignore), I would suggest not feeding the troll.
He’s not interested in a dialogue. His unwelcome entry into this thread is merely to lob grenades and walk away smiling.
Keith Ellison, MN AG, to lead prosecution of the fucking murdering piece of shit who killed George Floyd.
Adams succinct response covered us all nicely.

Don’t start talking about the Black Panthers like you know a thing about Black History.
Ellison at the podium right now: (paraphrased) “Thanks gov. We are going to fuck this dude up.”
“Am I going to talk about specific charges and people who we’re going to charge? No, assholes, I"m a lawyer.”
“Does prosecuting the police suck? It does. This shit is all against us. Nonetheless, we are going to fuck it up.”
“Am I gonna tell you everything? I am not. That’s not how this shit works. Trust me.”
More Keith Ellison please.
