Here We Go Again (Minneapolis, MN)

Probably staged, eh jellybelly?

There have been a few reports about protesters attacking others here in CLT.

[Ibanez]

What was the point of all that?

BDK? AG? Can you break this down for me?

I wonder what the religious freedom folks will think about Episcopal priests being gassed and forced off church property so Trump could have his photo op awkwardly holding a Bible.

Surprised it happened this quickly. Thought the full transition to fascism would come after he declared the 2020 elections illegitimate while cons looked the other way and excused it within the framework of the Constitution.

Seven months ahead of schedule though...not bad at all.

You're such a Drama Queen.

Flaggy's people throwing down to protect their pizza.

Oh, and I never want to hear "guns should just be for hunting" and "why do you need more than 10 bullets in a magazine" from the gun grabbers ever again.

It's very telling when some folks are more upset at Trump for holding a photo-op at a burnt out church than they are at the people who actually burned the church down.

felchy and Trip, you're doing a great job.

The church wasn't burned down. There was a fire set in the basement of the annex next door that was quickly put out. The church was not damaged.

And, yes - fuck whoever did that. I would love to see them arrested. But, I don't know who did and I'm not going to pin it on every single protestor.

'We came to riot': Illinois man livestreamed lighting fires, handing out explosives in Minneapolis, charges say

An Illinois man who came to Minneapolis to riot over the weekend livestreamed himself handing out explosives, destroying property and appearing to set a Sprint store on fire, according to charges filed in the U.S. District Court of Minnesota on Monday afternoon.

Matthew Lee Rupert, 28, is charged with civil disorder, possession of unregistered explosives and participating in and organizing riots, making him the first to face federal prosecution for allegedly taking part in the fires, looting and other violence that engulfed the Twin Cities since the death of George Floyd in police custody.

Last Thursday night, Rupert, of Galesburg, Ill., posted on his public Facebook page an invitation for "goons" to join him in traveling to Minneapolis, where he said he was renting hotel rooms and planned to wreak havoc and "take hella good videos."

The livestreamed videos, cited as evidence by FBI investigators in the complaint, show his role in the riots on Friday night and early Monday, including distributing explosives and then announcing, "He's throwing my bombs ... they're going to bomb the police with them."

"Good shot, my boy," he shouted after one of the explosions, according to the complaint. "We came here to riot," he declared later.

It is possible to be upset with both actions.

[Ibanez]

I saw that Sunday. That's the sort of message that needs to be broadcasted.

[mainejeff]

I'm not moving anywhere, fucker.

You mad because no riots to go to in Maine?

Yeah...that’s it.

It's another example of age/wisdom correlation.

[Skjellyfetti]

What the hell did this guy do to get arrested?

[Gil Dobie]

Nice tribute to his brother yesterday, watched it over lunch.

Nice tribute at the site of George Floyd's murder.

Were they priests or just protesters? Either way, what a bad move by Trump. For a guy that claims to be a media/PR genius, he surely didn't think this through: Announce you're a friend of the peace protesters and then gas them so you can have a photo op. What was the point of standing in front of that church and holding a bible?

I'm sure BDK will enlighten us.

By all means continue with the left’s false narrative that this was a peaceful protest, that tear gas was used, and the Park Service did it so Trump could have a photo op.

You don't get to have it both ways.

You wanted him to speak and lead (since spineless weak mayor's and governors won't) then you and the media trash him for doing anything. We don't care what you guys think that's what's awesome about Trump

You're irrelevant

Pretty sure Trump did it so the photo op would look better

You really have no room to talk about "false narratives". So they dispersed a crowd so he can have a photo op...what the fuck was the point of holding up a bible, upside down, outside a church you have never and will never go into?

He did speak. He then said he was going to usurp the rights of the states and send in the military. I'm allowed to say he should speak and then have an opinion on what he said.

Why do you hate the 1st Amendment?
