So...this is what they get. No one to blame but themselves. [link to m.startribune.com (secure)] "A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company's owner saying he can't trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs. "They don't care about my business," said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. "They didn't protect our people. We were all on our own."" ""The fire engine was just sitting there," Wyrobek said, "but they wouldn't do anything."" |

User ID: 78996363 United States 06/09/2020 02:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sounds like a good opportunity to have a farmer's market there twice a week for the morning hours. Quoting: The Starbuckian And get looted and beat up by thugs and if you pull your pistol thousands of dollars of fines for you. It happened in Jonesboro Arkansas. If it can happen there you'd better go to a smaller town. I know. Right? I hope you weren't thinking I was serious. The only liberal thing about me is my sense of humor, which few people grasp. Thirty years ago it might have worked. But our youth have grown up preparing for this time with various war themed computer games as well as Grand Theft Auto type video games. Child Labor laws did nothing to instill a desire to work. Few of the role models for their generation work at a boring job. People are taking the young toughs seriously now. Why work? When it's much easier to smash and grab. Then at the beginning of the month an easily cashed govt check arrives and their EBT card gets refilled, as if by magic. Belly up to the public slop trough, or so it would seem. It will probably be another 20 years before what happened last week is forgotten, and things get back to the way they were a year ago. That 70 year old pensioner walking to the supermarket will probably get mugged on the way to the store and again on the way back. He should look into home delivery of everything. Sometimes I think the virus stay-at-home requests were a warm-up for perpetual lock-down, and enforced by masked thugs that many will perceive as being ANTIFA thugs. “Queen Sarah, save us from the Black Dog King!” - from the play, Dissocia [link to tasaonline.org.au (secure)] "Never be anyone's French poodle." - Mr Hamilton |

Quoting: MissCleo hope the stupid people starve. famine on the way. famine is the biggest killer, more than war. Innocent people live there, and are now forced to struggle for food. They're the ones that are hit the hardest. These people can ask their neighbors for help and also ask community leaders for help, I am sure the likes of Al Sharpton are getting all the fundraising in place to help these people out. The truth is out there. |

User ID: 78973486 United States 06/09/2020 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now Minneapolis wants to disband the police department. That will lead to businesses fleeing the city in droves, along with white flight like never before. The loss of revenue will bankrupt the city as thousands of hoodlums will descend on the city like a plague of locusts. Gang violence will leave the ruins of Minneapolis looking like Berlin at the end of the war. Quoting: Deplorable Hoosier Yes, but Berlin recovered and rebuilt. This place will become Mogadishu.

They've got a 70 year old man walking for an hour and a half just to get food. Good job, assholes. Quoting: Where Eagles Dare Actually they did Him a favor because all that exercise will actually make Him healthier in the long run. I know it sucks but there is a silver lining if You would just look. Unless he has bad joints. This is so sad for the innocent people :( There's never a dull moment here on planet earth, unless GLP ceased to exist... Oh, and Biden can't dress himself.... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9338962 You mean there are consequences to burning down entire neighborhoods? Yep! this is just another reason why people don't like black people. Black people don't even like them and most don't want to live around them.. If the cops started shooting looters from the start of all this mess,,it would have ended very quickly..Look back to the 50's and 60's when they could shoot looters,, the looters stopped that shit if they wanted to live. |
