FIVE SHOT, ONE DEAD, DURING "PEACEFUL" PROTESTS IN MINN

by Bob Walsh

The unfortunate and almost certainly unjustifiable death of Floyd George has turned Minneapolis into a war zone.  A total of five people were shot on Wednesday night, one of them was a fatality.  Of course the guy who was shot to death was in a pawn shop that he didn't own and had no business being in and the guy who shot him owned and operated the pawnshop, but most people won't tell you that.

Several stores were looted.  An Auto Zone store was burned to the ground.  All the stuff in these sort of stores gives off lots of very interesting and very dangerous fumes.

The National Guard has been called out to try to keep a lid on things.  Unless they are willing to get unpleasant that probably won't happen.

Not that I am recommending it, but there is something to be said for the Mexico City P D school of riot control.  You order the rioters to disperse.  Once.  Then you open fire with automatic weapons with live ammunition.  They have damn few riots in Mexico City.

So the pawn shop owner was arrested for defending his property. Why weren't the cops defending the property?

The cops don't do that in Minneapolis.
