Dang

I would imagine that is exactly what the rioting groups sound like when they talk

Beads I would get out of town. The thugs are in town, common sense has left town. I sent a swat member friend of mine a text letting him know I support what they are doing and also to stay safe.

I hope the law enforcement goes through the thugs like Grant took Richmond.

Also just got a text from a buddy in Atlanta, they are doing the same thing there.

Mpls will burn tonight and likely tomorrow night also.

Around here about every home has weapons, most have served from Vietnam to the Middle East, that’s not just talk, but if you think that’s wrong, that your right. but I doubt any one around here would just roll over and take it, and I’m sure there are many in the twin cities that are willing to do the same,it’s just a matter of time and the bomb will go off.

If they start messing with people’s houses there will be casualties

9:20 before the first mention of the virus on Fox 9 news tonight.

Guess there is a silver lining to the rioting.

95% of them rioters are too chicken sh#* to have a confrontation with somebody that will fight back and that is armed. There a bunch of cowards

true…..but this is deeper than that. its years of built up anger from people who were not as privelaged as some of us. are some of these BLM folks going too far…….YES! maybe you want to volunteer and see what the other 5% will do? perhaps you have not been paying attention to what has transpired in MPLS the last few years? It’s not black on white or vice versa, its justice for the ones who have been wronged at the hands of the police simple as that. Everyone in the cities has had enough. I have no ties to the cities but I hope that the arrest today has some effect. Crazy 2020 already and it ain’t even half in

This isn’t going to end quietly.

Yeah to bad there is not a leader that will fight back. No police present at the moment. Post office breached across from 5th precinct.

Man, just when you think the whole covid thing feels surreal. Yesterday afternoon my wife calls me frantic because her and some coworkers are heading to her pharmacy that was shut down at the start of covid (shuttered since March) to clean it out in anticipation of looters breaking in. They pile these drugs into the place she was relocated to, and at the end of the day they take them to a place further out of downtown because they are also worried that place will be looted.

That night she tells me that she is going to swing by the third place before work, pick up all the drugs, pile them in her civic, and head to work during a riot. I’m like, “The f@ck you are!” So this morning I left my kids with the neighbor, heavily armed myself, drove my wife to pharmacy A, and then muled a damn pharmacy worth of drugs and my wife to point B. C2s, refrigerated, and basically any drug of value was in the back of my old truck until we carried them to her current clinic. Luckily they shut her place down early and she got a nice afternoon nap after I picked her up.

Weird times man.

Time to start dropping wholesale tear gas bombs, no guard, no cops, no curfew and nothing being done to stop it. both mayors and governor are gutless.

So they just let some random guy haul all these drugs in the back of there old truck? Sounds sketchy and a really stupid idea, why even put yourself in that situation?

35W is blocked by “peaceful” protest. No cops. No care of any dumb curfew. Just watched on the news as the protesters threw everything out of a moving UPS semi truck on 35. He was probably going 30 and there was still guys in the trailer tossing boxes out.

They let a licensed pharmacist move them, and there are crazy audits in place with drugs should anything go missing. But yea, it is super weird, maybe questionably legal – but so is dealing with the reality of what to do anticipating that your store will be smashed and looted overnight. I think they are floundering and thinking on their feet trying to keep the clinics providing health care.

In the end it is minimally dangerous compared to the cops, first responders, healthcare workers, etc, who have to keep things rolling during our pandemic/riot reality.

Yeah just raided a UPS semi on 35w no police in sight.

UPS driver should head west as far as he can get with the fuel he has. Drop them dumb SOB’s in the trailer in the middle of nowhere at night.

Anybody else see the movie 13 Hours the secret soldiers of Benghazi? Last night and tonight are quite similar….

Getting hairy across the country…..

I also see a lot of people not following social distancing guidelines tonight. Tisk-tisk

…..and a lot of you guys gave me crap when I talked about moving a barricade to launch a boat to take my kids fishing. Who’s the bad guy now

Beads, if you need anything, don’t be afraid to ask. You’re welcome to sleep in the man cave or toss a tent up in the backyard if you want to get out of town. Seriously

But wait there was a plan in place to not allow this to happen again tonight. Might want to come up with a new plan again tomorrow.

Walz is really showing his weak leadership in not sending the guards out tonight. Absolutely ridiculous.

This is crazy….there is going to be nothing left in this whole city.

Very frustrated with Walz so far!! Wtf dude! Give your firefighters some freaking Guards man!

Beads, stay safe man, keep your family safe!

you seem to have all the answers…….step up from your keyboard. pretty easy to make claims from 500 miles away.

This whole situation is just very sad.

That Atlanta Mayor has some balls. We could use her in Mpls right now.

FWIW the Governor and the National Guard guy (Colonel?) both threw Mayor Frey under the bus HARD. The Gov stated he wouldn’t have had to step in if the city would have handled it, and the NG said they had no direction or mission and weren’t asked to do anything until well after dark.

Gotta believe the Mayor is one and done and the police chief goes too, especially if tonight gets out of hand again.

BS Walz is just as culpable as Frey in this. He’s the damn Governor of the state and now he wants to act like he had no responsibilities and it’s all Frey’s fault. Yeah Frey’s a pajama boy and was frozen in fear but Walz needed to give direction probably before Frey. Now that he wants to shift all the blame to Frey for this proves it. If he didn’t feel some responsibility he would have no need to throw anybody under the bus or point the finger elsewhere.

As I said before the instant I seen that video I knew what was coming. I said it out loud to my wife in the first minute of watching it. This is going to be Ferguson times ten I told her. If Walz or Frey couldn’t see it and start to take some preemptive action they are blind.

Mpls. Has been run by progressive social engineers at all levels for a long time. These are not the people you want sharing a fox hole with you when $hit gets real and they showed that the last few days. Now all they have left to do is what cowards usually do and point the finger of blame the other direction.

Good luck to all of you down there and hope everyone is safe.

Well as of now we know for sure one of my wife’s pharmacies was completely ransacked. Another clinic was broken into but word is they didnt breech the pharmacy.

So many people who need meds are gonna be screwed. She also runs a tuberculosis and homeless clinic which will likely be defunct for a bit.

And all that you’re talking about tindall accomplishes nothing. The ripple effects of this are plenty. In the short-term they’re bringing anger, violence, and hellfire, but in the long-term they’ve destroyed inner-city healthcare places, housing, grocery stores, etc. I saw online there are some go-fund-me campaigns to get food to these people because their normal neighborhood grocery store can’t supply them….because it was looted and destroyed.

They’re ruining community assets, and destroying buildings and products that will need to be passed on to consumers. Plenty of taxpayer funds needed for cleanup, extra OT for officers, military, etc. I understand the reason this all started, I really do, and that stuff and the racist responses have to stop, but it’s just too damn far now.

Honest question, did it help? I saw some damage and stuff in Atlanta but was it controlled? Hard to keep up on the news with riots all over the country.
