Guess ol Saint George hid some drugs up his bum and knew he was gonna die.

Should be another round of fun when the anarchists and terrorists throw a fit over not getting the trial they want.

This has never been about social justice. Maybe a few misinformed non thinkers fell for it.
IMHO it's just large scale thuggery/terrorism.

Sorry, in this information age........no excuse to not be informed. Those who are in error, that side with the evil, are guilty by association.
Sooner or later they're gonna reap what they've sown.

So will MN get a round 2 of riots when the police are found not guilty?

Trump denies Minnesota governor's request for $500M to repair damage from riots

When I saw that I was quite pleased. Seeing mayor after mayor, governor after governor refuse to take steps to protect people’s property, **** them. Raise taxes on their own people and make sure they understand why those taxes are being raised. “Minnesotans, we’re raising your taxes to pay for our failures.”

No. The message will be they are being raised because Trump wouldn't help them in their hour of need.

Wonder how much of that money would actually hit the problems and not the pockets along the way.

Exactly. It will raise my taxes but if it would make a difference it would be worth it. I'm just not convinced yet that it will make a difference but I'm willing to pay more in the hope that it does.

Seriously?? That would get a big "Oh HELL no!" from me. Do you seriously think they would use the money to "make a difference", or just continue to prop up the same ol' crap that led to the problem in the first place? No. Just no. Let the city die a slow and painful death, and take the politicians that caused it along with it.

No need to laugh
U know it's how they will spin it

Always follow the money.

Yes, I am serious. The difference I am talking about is in the minds of the voters not the politicians. If raising the taxes makes people think a little bit and vote these butt hats out of office in the next elections, it would be worth it.

Believe me, I have no delusions of the current crop doing anything good with tax money - they haven't for years and I don't think they know how to start or even have the slightest motivation. The only hope for Minnesota is to change the voting patterns.

I realize it is a long shot gamble. The more likely outcome is the scenario you described of minneapolis going straight to the crapper.

I'd guess 5%.

Very interesting interview of Dr. Thomas Sowell by Mark Levin about current events and education:

I was laughing at his idea that the politicians there would take the blame.

 

[OakRiver]

The article states, it would include losing 100 percent of the 4th quarter funding.
How the he'll do you do that?
No police pay?
No vehicle maintenance or gas?
No insurance?

Did they miss the part in the movie, where The Purge is only 12 hours, and not 3 months?

Seattle will eat itself.

The Mayor only took action after the protesters came to her neighborhood, and threatened to set up shop there. The citizens don't appear to be being served by their leaders.

Oh, I wasn't going to give them a choice.

Stolen from the web. Not sure of attribution:

If you insulate people from paying the price of being wrong, you’re going to get a lot of wrong things done.

If only the voters would remember that.
