In reply to the discussion: Hey Minneapolis - please please please don't fall into the trap. [View all]Figarosmom
(9,916 posts)45. Same in Kenosha
The fires were started by the militia guys from the surrounding county ala rittenhouse..
The county gas stations reported that they had county people filling up gas cans and headed into town. But they caught a few protesters throwing bricks on camera so they got the blame.
It's the instigators.
I sometimes wish the protesters would just stop and let the instigators be exposed. The pointing them out doesn't work for shit. Cops will do nothing. In fact when Rittenhouse was pointed out the cops gave him the thumbs up.

That is one of my questions. Why can't local LE arrest these people beating up citizens?

I am fearful of the instigators. I saw what they did in Minneapolis in 2020.

It is such an untenable situation. I think protestors are getting more aware...

Right. To protect the Minnesotans from a rampage of violent criminals, dressed in costume.
