Looting now in Saint Paul MN (Page 1/11)
CoolBlue87GT MAY 28, 03:48 PM
Many communities are protesting over the George Floyds's death yesterday which was a shame.

Been listing to the scanner from Saint Paul MN police on my cell phone. People are breaking windows and ransacking stores in Saint Paul.

Police are now deploying gas and triple chase tear gas against the crowds and looters.

Stores hit so far, Foot locker, TJ Max, Verizon, Pawn shop, liquor store. Over 100 people reported in the Verizon store. Now a bunch of people are hitting the Walgreens store.

Police have secured the local Target store.

Because the best and proper way to "protest" bad police officers is to loot and burn the businesses of people who had nothing to do with it.

Not only that, but the fact that the economy is in the toilet with so many unemployed that these stores may not recover after this.

If your business was burned to the ground in this, why in gods green earth would you rebuild in the same spot.

And if you did - who in gods green earth would insure it...

If you lose social control, nothing else in the community matters.

This makes me so mad... it really does. And the Democrats never want to say anything about it. The only Democrat... ONLY Democrat that I remember seeing do anything about this, was Elijah Cummings when they were rioting in Baltimore. Respect for that, but he's still a moron and voted for all the things that have led to Baltimore being a shithole when he was still alive.

Not me... I'd take the insurance money and start a new business somewhere else... somewhere that actually cares.

What we have learned this month:
1) Peaceable assembly on public property is called "storming" (Lansing, MI)
2) Theft and destruction of private property is called "protesting" (St Paul, MN)

WHERE are the Minneapolis / St Paul mayor and the Minnesota Governor on this?

On TV I watched a Minneapolis Target store get looted yesterday with ZERO police intervention until the media said that the store was now EMPTY.

I then watched last night as the Minneapolis Auto Zone store near that Target store was set ablaze and allowed to become a full conflagration , again with ZERO police intervention. Today it was burnt to the ground and still smoldering.

And for good measure the nearby Dollar Tree was also completely looted with ZERO police intervention.

THEN a couple of nearby apartment houses were set on fire.

Did these guys take the bus there? Did they walk? I have to assume they live around there...

Why would you want your neighborhood to look like **** ? Certainly they don't think the neighborhood is going to now get better?
