View Full Version : Fortifying Minneapolis for the Derek Chauvin Trial

The trial of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin who is accused of murdering George Floyd is 12 days away. Fortifications have been going up around MPD precinct houses, the Hennepin County Government Center as well as many other buildings and businesses. The evening news showed double rows of Jersey barricades topped with cyclone fencing and barbed wire. As if that's not enough, there are rolls of Concertina wire between the barriers. National Guard troops are reportedly being deployed before, during and after the trial. I have yet to see a Guard convoy or Hummers parked at intersections around last summer's urban hot spots. The part of Minneapolis where I work has suddenly developed a weird kind of "vibe", I fully expect it to get even weirder...

Wonder if this will just push ANTIFA errr the protesters to other parts of the city where there is no National Guard presence.

Well since one side is out for blood and all the facts point to a death from complications of opioid overdose, it’s hard to believe that an impartial jury could convict him. So if they don’t violate common sense and convict him, expect the black radicals and liberals to riot, loot, and murder as is their MO.

OP, this might be a good time to consider moving. I'm sure the Twin Cities are nice and all but...

During last years protests there were rumors they were going to take it to the suburbs (this was in DFW Texas and I’m sure other places as well). Never happened but it creates an interesting problem if they do.

Our activist AG intervened and in my opinion, overcharged Chauvin by pursuing 1st degree murder charges. In light of the circumstances, there’s a reasonable possibility that Chauvin will walk. There will be riots and mayhem regardless of the outcome, my gut feeling is the rioters focus will shift to less hardened targets in outlying communities.

No, it won't be rioting. It will be full blown war at that point. They'll go from burning and looting to openly shooting it out with cops and murdering every person who fits their description of an enemy. Then, Ibram Kendi may get his "Department of Antiracism" after all.

My thoughts too. I have sister that lives there. Single mother with 5 children. For the life if me, I can't figure out why she continues to stay there?

Not really looting season. I’m surprised I didn’t try to start the trial a month ago so they get most of it done during the winter time.
If they do pillage and rape; I’m just wondering how the talking bobble heads will spin it to blame it all on those nefarious Trump supporters...

God I don't miss the cities... After getting out I went to Hamline until 2015, I remember helping a fellow vet and classmate roof his house by the fair grounds in late summer 2016 after Phiando Castile was killed. I remember getting those "vibes" just getting gas by Harmar Mall, and what made it worse was that the cops were totally hands off because no one wanted to be the cop that potentially escalated the situation.

Right, subzero temps really cuts down on street crime...

You owe me 4 tylenol for the headache caused by on/off caps.
I hope they burn it all down. It will be fun to watch.

I was pretty sure he swallowed his dope.
Five sibs and their families keep me here. Two of us are ready to move to eastern Dakotas if/when it becomes intolerable. My lovely pregnant niece will again abandon her house in a trendy Mississippi river front neighborhood. Though all are strong Christian conservatives times, most refuse to think they need to arm themselves. I can outfit them all, but OJT is a rough way to learn armed self defense.
I fear if this goes too far, Black folks may well learn a bitter and cruel lesson.
You know, none of these protests would ever happen if it weren’t for white young liberals of comfortable means. And then it becomes a passing fad. Like everything. It’s a T shirt. It’s a slogan.
And once it has run its course, things will go back. You will see how it is. And it’s been planned out well in advance.
I knew this kid. I say kid, but we met in college. He was the token black guy. Like I floated castes a bit. But usually hung with art chicks and stoner types and a few wannabe yuppies. Anyways, this kid was not exactly an oreo, but really naive. And he was hanging with the yuppies. I mean the douche buckets who sincerely believed Bush stole the election and was part of the Illuminati. The trendy Democrat types who watched Bill Maher. Anyways he was catching dates and thought he made friends and was living this big life until he came up to me one day and says “Man those people are so fake. I’m always the black guy. I’m just ALWAYS the black guy”
And I said, “but you ARE a black guy. What’s your problem?”
And he’s all “No. I mean, it’s always some tack on stuff about black folks. Like I’m retarded. Like I’m a Make a Wish kid. It’s like I can’t ever just be there doing stuff. I’m always the black guy”
And I get it. He caught the whole “oh you’re so well-spoken”, “You dress so well”, “You’ve come a long way” and the irony was that he HADN’T come a long way. His old man was a GI like so many kids’ dads. He ranked up past E7, retired, got a decent job. He literally had the same if not better background than they did, but he was always the Black Guy.
And that’s what I tell these upstarts. There will be no real revolution. There will be no real change. Just an illusion. A special edition DLC skin.
Yeah they’ll cram black folks down your throat on TV. And queers. And mixed Black on Blonde families. But only as a symbol of ownership. In their revisionism they are the heroes. And it feels good.
But you don’t get credit for curing the patient you made sick.
If blacks honestly made an effort to do some kind of African coup, the population would go from 13 to 3 percent and even the casual racists would go “hey man that’s too far. Lay off”
Because that’s what they hear every day. “If you’re black you ‘must’ vote Democrat”. Even YOUR PRESIDENT Biden said “If you don’t vote for me, then you ain’t Black”
Pretty brazen declaration of ownership.
Ne personally, I despise both Democrats and Republicans but probably hate Republicans on a more personal level due to the lies and backstabbing. I don’t even vote optimistically anymore.
None of them want you armed or to own anything. Just work until you die and pay taxes.
