What do you think the fallout will be from this? Will we just go back to normal like nothing happened like we did after all those riots during Obama's era happened? Will there be things put in place to make sure looting doesn't happen next time? Will people actually say enough is enough and stop anything even close to this from happening again? Or will they just let them win so we can have the exact same thing happen in a couple of months?

There will be ZERO meaningful change. This has yet again been within g more than an excuse for thievery and lawlessness by those who just need an excuse.

And they demand to be seen as other than what they are. Lawless hyenas. Wanting to be seen and recognized as men.

A more heavily armed American public, if that's even possible. Maybe more police state features, and no one wins with that. Most of us just want to live free and peacefully without "the man" breathing down our necks.

Their economies will crash, and democrats will try to drag the nation down to save them. Immigrants aren't going to be pouring into these communities anymore. The world is watching what is going on in horror. Businesses will pack up and leave in droves. Population decline is terrible for an economy, particularly a local economy. Just look at Detroit's history, it's a perfect example of what you are talking about, and what will happen on a larger scale.

Minneapolis, due to heavy gentrification in the downtown area, has literally driven all the minorities out of downtown and it's become a true White Island, which is why the protests were 2-3 miles form the downtown area.

A good number of cities have done likewise, gentrified the hell out of their downtown areas, in whatever city, and making them White Islands, chasing the minorities to the suburbs or exurbia, as in the case of L.A.

One welcome change would be the end of glass windows on shops and restaurants. Are they really necessary in the first place?

No changes.. More distrust of yet another black community. Of course sober law abiding taxpayers will have to pay for their Friday night live activities.

The crime, looting, and lawlessness sort of took away from the original event. The country was sympathetic, now I suspect most of us are repulsed, angry and disgusted (again) and I hardly remember the drugged up African American guy who died.

Minneapolis was always mostly white. The Federal Government forced the City to import thousands of Somalians surrounding the City.

Why would the Federal Government choose do this? Demographics, to make Minnesota a blue state and now you see the result.

Yep, just what we need, thousands of Islamists, from half way around the world.
