My youngest son planned to go to the Trump Rally in Minneapolis Thursday. As it turned out, the friend he planned to go with couldn't make it and David decided not to go alone. I am glad he didn't.
I am not glad he missed the rally for I think he would have enjoyed it. But I am glad and relieved he missed the aftermath.
The animals were protesting in the streets outside the venue. And the four legged kinds of animals are better behaved than those sorry excuses for human beings.
They carried signs filled with vulgarity. They screamed obscenities. They harassed the police. They threw rocks and bottles at the police. They threw rocks and bottles at the horses of the horse patrol. They started fires in the streets. They harassed and bullied innocent people leaving the venue who were just trying to get to their vehicles to go home. They threw rocks and bottles at the cars leaving. They threw jars of urine on supporters of our President.
It saddened me to see the behavior of these thugs here in my home state. We are supposed to be a state where nice, friendly people live. And for the most part, we are. But when people act like this over just a political rally, what do you suppose they will do when the sh** really does hit the fan?
This was a wake-up call for me. It not only showed me that my efforts to get ready for whatever happens are spot on, it was a lesson on how low humans can sink when they don't get their way. The attempt to shut down the rally ahead of time failed and this was their answer. The mayor of Minneapolis didn't help the situation. He declared it "Love to Hate Trump Day."
I don't care what the political leanings are as long as we can treat each other with respect. They can protest all they want. It is their right. But when they become a mob of thugs trying to physically hurt those on the other side, that is where I draw the line.
This mob showed me what to expect in the future - maybe sooner than we think. I believe that 'keep on prepping' and 'keep your powder dry' both fall under the category of Good Advice.

What is wrong with these people? They behave worse than my 3 year old grandson throwing a tantrum. At least with him I can provide consequences to teach him that that's not how one gets what they want.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, chipmunk...but I don't recall this type of thing happening when Obama was elected - twice. I think they hate this president because they can not control him. And he is throwing a monkey wrench into the middle of all their socialist plans. These thugs haven't yet figured out that they are not helping their cause.
DeleteIssue #1 I don't think these folks are from MN. If they are they do a great job of hiding.
ReplyDelete#2 This is why we live out in rural MN.
#3 Crime is on the up swing thief mostly. It could be local idiots or its groups who travel out here from the cities. I would think from St Cloud. Closer to us then MPLS.
Don't kid yourself, Rob...They are everywhere. Your town. My town. Cities. Small towns. Everywhere. My town once, not all that long ago, was a pretty safe place to live. You would be amazed at the number of drug deals I have watched go down in the alley across from my building. I would not go out alone at night for any reason any more. The local news either downplays what is happening or they ignore it altogether. My sources tell me there is no safe place in Minnesota now. There are still many, many good folks, but the thugs are everywhere.
DeleteOh I know. Oldest son has told me about the drug deals going on in the towns around us. He has friends in LE...Local & County. I still feel safer out here.
DeleteThere is no doubt you are more safe in your small town and I am more safe in my suburb than either of us would be in the city. Life in the city seems to get uglier every day. The trick is to keep an eye on our communities so we are aware and can avoid the nastiness if possible.
DeleteTrump certainly didn't get the police protection that he paid for. Personally, I believe in cops using live ammo when the "protests" turn into attacks.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you heard this, Gorges...but the Minneapolis mayor tried to charge Trump over $500,000 for security. When Obama was here, he paid $20,000. Trump basically told the mayor to go pound sand.
DeleteI was watching a live stream, and there seemed to be lots of cops outside the venue, but they were doing nothing to stop the violence - at least from my view. To their credit, they formed lines to try to separate both groups and considering the political climate of the city, I would not be surprised if orders had been given, for there was only one arrest. The longer the thugs get away with that behavior, the more bold they become. It will not end well.
Watching that crap made me want to go back to the old days where after the trial, there was rope work and a journey to Boot Hill. Start carrying personal tasers. This is reminding me of the old movie news reels from before World War II. These Guys want to RULE over the rest of us. They covet everything they have not earned, worked for and will do everything to take Life, Freedom and most assuredly Property. Watch your Six. VOTE THE BASTARDS OUT that are allowing this to go on. Red
ReplyDeleteRed...There is something to be said for Wild West Justice. Thing is, these 'protesters' pay no consequences for their actions. Tell me true - if I started a fire in the middle of the street in the middle of downtown Minneapolis, do you suppose my next action might be to call a lawyer from inside the county jailhouse? No doubt.
DeleteYou are 100 % correct. Their goal - or the goal of whoever is financing these idiots - is to own us. Other than voting, I do not know how to stop them. The only thing I can do is refuse to comply and refuse to get on the bus.
We watched the rally and the aftermath. We noticed two guys in blue windbreaker who seemed to be "in charge" because other protestor kept coming up to them, chatting a moment, and going back to the confrontation. We also noticed how easy it is to spot the big mouth trouble makers.
ReplyDeleteYes Vicki, no bus!
sbrgirl...I just went back and watched some clips of that night, but didn't spot the blue jackets. There had to be someone in charge because I doubt that many of those protesters were smart enough to be on their own without supervision. And yes, the trouble makers were easy to spot. I noticed one who was marching back and forth in front of a line of police. He reminded me of of a grown up version of the bully on an elementary school playground.
DeleteI stole the line 'don't get on the bus' from Frank at "Thoughts from Frank and Fern." Smart folks, those two. As far as I am concerned, you can take what they have to say about the realities of today, to the bank.
Have you seen the video? Watch this one.

Obviously something dreamed up by the 'hate Trump' crowd.
DeleteWhy would people who don't like Donald Trump show something like this at HIS Doral Property? This was a Trump function. C'mon now, I agree that violence is not the way to go - but you HAVE to have face reality sometimes. Turning a blind eye is not helping things. At all.
DeleteI don't know and I don't care. I have told you before this blog is not a debating society, especially with someone who hides behind the name 'Anonymous.' My blog - my rules. Any and all future comments that I even suspect are from you will be deleted.
DeleteViolence and mayhem seems to be the answer for everything with these people now. Funny; you don't see Trump supporters acting this way. Heck; for the most part, they don't even retaliate when accosted by the likes of these "protesters." Still, it's the Trump supporters who are called fascist, Nazis, racists. KKK, etc.
ReplyDelete...These "protesters" don't realize the size of the bear they're poking, and the world they'll be left with when the bear has had enough...
Pete...The violence seems to be escalating at an alarming rate. Minneapolis has seen it's share of protests. But never before have I seen this kind of violence here. We are, for the most part, a peace loving people. I think that was evident in the contrast between the attendees of the rally and the mob outside.
DeleteYou are spot on about poking the bear. I know that I have just about had enough of the lunacy that has taken over. How many riots did you see when Obama was elected. Twice. Me neither.
read that antifa will dress as patriots and shoot antifas as a false event so patriots can be blamed 'naturalnews.com' i think it was on that site
Deletethe moslems did the same thing in serbia dressed as serbian soldiers and raped and terrorized bosnians of course many bad serbs but serbia was left holding the bag the moslems were brought in to the conflict from outside dont know who brought them in but serbia has a bad name to this day
hope the patriots find a way to got o rallies while avoiding infiltrators
what bothers me is the lack of a crackdown 'peaceably to gather' this is criminal behaviour
ReplyDeletedeb...That bothers me, too. The average citizen wouldn't get a pass on that kind of behavior.
