A Long Hot Summer begins (a dumpster fire chat)

The rioters are heroes.

Wrong.

Wrong.

Wrong!

The protesters are heroes. They are different from the rioters.

The rioters are fuckwads. They are white supremacists who have swooped in to try to foment the race war they have been dreaming about for a long time.

I was driving around with a friend last night (Friday night) after curfew and saw firsthand how this shit is going down in my backyard, Minneapolis and St. Paul.

I used to live in several of the communities that are being destroyed, and I saw the ruins of several businesses that I had frequented.

We have an openly racist asshole at the head of the Minneapolis Police Federation, and he has just simply got to be replaced. That's just the start of dismantling the racist MPD and rebuilding it up after kicking out all the racist cops who adore their racist union leader.

And that requires a takeover by the feds, but that won't happen under the current Dept. of Justice.

We'll just have to hang on until Trump is ousted in November, so the DOJ can take on that necessary task.

This country is at a turning point, and if the November election doesn't oust Trump, we are headed to a second civil war and this country will tear apart, spilling blood like never before.

I'm not one to be afraid of mass action and the madness of mob behavior. I'm putting myself out in the streets as I can right now, to show solidarity with the protesters and to help stop the rioters.

But I am fearful of the future of this country, and have been for quite a while.

St. Paul mayor Melvin Carter says all arrests made in St. Paul last night were of people from out of town.
Department of Public Safety commissioner John Harrington cites clear evidence of white supremacist groups operating in the riots to cause more violence.

EDIT: btw, both Carter and Harrington are black men.

Well said, homestyle. Take good care.

Entire Minnesota National Guard being mobilized. Active duty Military Police units from Ft. Drum in New York and Ft. Bragg in North Carolina being deployed to the Twin Cities.

Thanks, Beaner.

For those who don't know, Keith Ellison, who posted this video on Twitter, is the Minnesota Attorney General. He is also Black.

There are a lot of weird things going on here. White guys in gas masks smashing up the Autozone, the fact that the cop and Floyd once worked together, and several other things are real head scratchers.

Tonight is going to be ugly nationwide.

Yep. I was talking with a buddy (who happens to be black) about this whole mess and this came up. He maintained that George's killing wasn't outright racially motivated, but was about...ahem..."pussy". He thought it was over a woman, or just general guy "dog" stuff. And looking at Chauvin's blank/casual/hateful face and general aspect in the video, I think there might be some sort of back story there.

And, and! Somehow this guy was married to a former MIss Minnesota?

Wait, who - George or the cop?

Good to see the President is all over it at one with the people.

Milwaukee has a 9 pm curfew tonight. National Guard has been called out to enforce. This is what not dealing with 200 plus years of systemic racism looks like in 2020.
