Why should Minneapolis rebuild? They voted for rubble, let them be happy with their rubble.

We always see a huge transfer of wealth when the GOP is in the WH and controls the Senate.

Tax cut for the rich and destruction of property by finance or nature.. insurance refused to cover and the banks swoop in and scoop up the scraps.

They don't even pretend to be anything less than terrorists. Frankly-these days, neither does the Democratic party. BLM/Pantifa are the "brownshirts" of the DNC. Frankly it's scary seeing 1930s Germany happening in this country under the leadership of the Democratic party.

It is a little frightening that they have "removed the masks" and are very open about their support for anarchy and violence. The dem party openly says they support Marxist initiatives and oppose police forces.

It is as though the dem party declared war on the United States and the media treats it as normal.

With the dems moving further and further to the left, they will become more violent and start to think about bigger "targets" such as large groups of people and more massive destruction.

The dem party, BLM and ANTIFA are terrorist organizations set on destroying the US to pave the way for a Marxist form of rule, which is their ultimate end game.

Which only goes to prove, again, that this is not an agenda driven crowd, but rather, a crowd who is thoroughly enjoying recreational destruction with no goal except enjoying destruction.

That's why you can sell tickets for a charity car bash, where people pay money to sledge hammer a car to pieces.

This is why, in the late 1800's, the now respectable Texas Rangers were formed as a VOLUNTEER organization to kill off Indians. Because you didn't need to pay them - people would pay to travel on their own nickel for the chance of killing other humans and getting away with it.

Same as these rioters. They'll travel there on their own expense, to enjoy torching buildings and throwing bricks at cops. With no agenda whatsoever.

And some people participating in this forum believe (incredibly!) that it's voting democrats who are doing this rioting.

The riots are fail. The people who rely on these businesses for their needs and lively-hoods have been done a great disservice. There will be people who supported the riots/stayed silent who will then go on to complain how inner-city neighborhoods are under-served.

Or, the cities swoop in and then take the properties to setup their tiny commie cracker box apartments for their faithful minions. Real estate and power grab.

I live two blocks from the mayor’s condo. I could hear a rally in a local park about 9:45 last night. Very loud sound system with someone ranting, followed by a series of chants that had all the aspects of a primitive religious ritual. I couldn’t see them marching down the street because of the street they took, but within a few minutes they shot off a bunch of fireworks in the sky. I only found out this morning they looted a dental office, stole tables from a restaurant, and set fires in the street. I am sick of this and want it stopped NOW. They should all be arrested for rioting.
