Helter Skelter
In St. louis 4 police shot, one retired policeman dead.
This kabuki theater of anarchy has played here before. It's playing just like BLM/ANTIFA have it planned. Better for them than Jussie Smollett’s act. The “useful idiots “ in the media will call for unity, while lecturing you on privilege. The stimulus money is already being funneled to “social justice” causes. Local prosecuting attorney's, judges , and mayoral candidates of “hope & change” etc will be promoted for election by Soros funded groups.
NPR and MSNBC will do”‘driveway moments” and fake grieve while promoting their continuing viewpoints , but instead of Russia- Russia -Russia it will be protest - protest - protest. CNN will be offended by orange man, Fox News will run eternal Breaking News and the little web sites like Twitchy, Weasel Zippers, and Babylon Bee will entertain readers with the idiocracy the USA is immersed in.
The beat goes on, Hot town summer in the city, it’s 1968 again ... on steroids.

My thoughts go out to those officers' family.
The only news radio station i can pick up is NPR, so if I am not listening to internet podcasts or music it is usually on in the background.. My neighbors likely think I'm a lunatic. They can't hear that I am listening to the radio, but only hear my escalating shouts of anger. You are spot-on in your characterisation of them, and their preachy, slanted and incomplete coverage.
Side note, guns and ammo sales in my county have predictably risen in the wake of the weekends rioting and looting. [attachimg=1]

It is now some 55 years ago that Frank Zappa penned a song inspired by the Watts Riots of that time, and it has proven perfectly accurate and truly prophetic through all this time. The lyrics are absolutely spot on as to fitting the current state of affairs, but even more poignant is that he made the point that this wasn't just about that riot back then, but encompassed the future as well, as is made clear with the following line:
"You know we got to sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won't be many left
To see it really end"
The title of the song is "Trouble comin' every day" and versions of it can be found on line, but I'll not link to any here as it is disturbingly accurate, but you can find it if you wish.
This time however is truly different, and it will be of critical importance as to how it will all play out this time around!
I'm hoping for the best ..... as that is all I can really do at this point!!!

What that cop did to that poor mans neck by kneeling on it was inexcusable, but it seems that now the protests are turning into pure anarchy.
Not quite pure anarchy, as there is a highly organized and well funded far left agenda being enacted while remaining hidden in the chaos!

Here in Birmingham, the protests weren't that ugly...at first. Things got stirred up when the protest turned from justice for a wrong deed, to tearing down monuments(a fight that was started a few years ago). THOSE agitators, (i might add accompanied by our MAYOR) when finished with the fine job of defacing public property, then moved on to destroy nearby private property. They even broke into the Alabama Power Company Museum and destroyed artifacts from the early days of electricity. As is the MO of most of these criminals, they stole from hard-working business owners and cost them thousands of dollars in repairs. These low-life thugs then threatened MY small town's police department with fire-bombing because the Chief there has really cracked down on crime-which of course is racist don't ya know. State wide curfew issued(first since 1955) and road blocks at all entry points to town with well-armed officers at each. And, in the 5 minutes I was talking to one of the officers, I saw 3 people volunteer to assist in protecting our town.
Legal protest is fine. When you spit, throw objects, assault, or damage property you are no longer protesting you are a criminal. And if you will allow these people to hide in your group, then you will have to deal with some pushback.

You would think the Minneapolis police would have done the same for their own police station. This goes for the LAPD as well and any other PD that let these low-lives destroy their own station. They all have less than lethal weapons available yet would not use them.
They're too scared that if they use any force they will be the "bad guys" and that is what is wrong with this country. If one of these rioters gets shot or killed, can you imagine how much more anger there would be towards the police. We had one tanker truck drive into a crowd blocking off the road yesterday, unfortunately he slowed down and got beat up and later arrested. I have never been so annoyed than trying to drive down the road only to be stuck parked because of abunch of idiots standing in the middle of the road. MN has been having a curfew the last few nights and it took them more than an hour past curfew to even begin arresting the protestors. A cousin of mine had the dumpster lit on fire at his apartment Saturday night. There's a reason I avoid the Twin cities area as much as possible. Gotta say I had no problem with Trump's tweet "When the looting starts, the shooting starts"

.But these riots have been strategically planned for a long time and are just awaiting the coordinators to light a revolutionary fuse. Be on guard for you and your family... it is going to be a very long and trying summer. The agitators will use this for years to come. They have put out a call to send “organizers” from St. Louis to go to Minn.
We just heard that there is supposed to be 70,000 protestors coming from Chicago to Minneapolis tomorrow
They must think you need more "protesters" in Minnesota.
Stores in NYC and many other places are getting robbed and completely stripped to bare shelves.
The Rolex store in NYC was broken into and destroyed. The looters got NOTHING. The owner was smart and removed his entire inventory in advance. All they were able to do was break glass display cases and windows.
In South Philadelphia, a neighborhood group of about 50 stood in front of their local Target store. They drew a "line in the sand" and told the looters they were not going to touch their store and they successfully defended it through the night.

Hope you and your families are all ok. What we're seeing on the news doesn't look very good.
Stay safe all.

Sadly, many of these “protestors” are anarchist who show up for these events. And many come from great distances for the action.
Thankful for the second amendment. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So far, no serious protests in Dallas.
But, I have my friends Mr. Heckler & Mr. Koch; Mr. Benelli; and Mr. Colt at my side. Hopefully, none of that is necessary, but we are prepared.
Stay Safe and Sane everyone!
Charlie, we have “common” friends; but better be ready & equipped to extinguish fire bombs hitting home after shooting the first shot. We in our neighborhood, decided to have coordinated armed protection neighborhood teams to stop the vandalizing arsonist looting groups from approaching our homes.

Nick , the rumors will start to spread via Twitter and the fake news media will twist incidents to mitigate their chosen political parties. Confusion will reign for days. We had to guard our homes from rooftops when roving gangs of ‘youths” randomly fired gunshots and others crept down the streets with life threatening firebombs, or stupid fireworks.
In the darkness its hard to tell if your home is about to be attacked, or if the mobs are just passing by to ransack some cellphone store or beauty supply. It took about 2 days for the agitators to spread further out to random suburbs and small towns. They didn't riot there, but used bullhorns to intimidate those unsuspecting and they chained off byways and some bridges while the cameras rolled.
Stay in direct contact with your family and friends.
The agitators have plans on how to gather their minions via Twitter and cellphones. They have been practicing and they know they likely will not be punished. When its all over, just like the ringleaders of Ferguson riots, many will get jobs in TV and internet news as spokespersons for the “resistance” and awokeness. Our social upheaval was heavily subsidized by George Soros.
We saw more accurate reporting from Breitbart News and The GatewayPundit than the bias on either Fox or CNN.
Look at the 2017 killing of that poor innocent Australian woman Justine Damond by Minneapolis policeman Mohamed Noor to contrast the “agenda” of the rioters.
Blessed are the peacemakers, we all need them so much more each and every day.

Nick, I was at the Menards in Burnsville at about 9:30 am on Friday and while it was busy i did not have to wait to get in. I"m within 7 or 8 miles from 3 Menards, 4 Home Depots, a couple of Harbor Freights, a Northern Tool and three Ace hardware stores. While they are all busy, with so many in the area none get overly crowded. One of the benefits of living in a city I guess.

I live about 10 miles south of the incident, in the city of Eagan. I did a grocery and Menards run yesterday and saw no protest's or gathering's of any sort. I think while there are protests nationwide, the riots seem to be in the larger core cities. What I do worry about is all the college and high school students, as well as the 40 million people out of work sitting at home with nothing to do and getting frustrated and bored. If they join the protests, it could be a long summer.
I forgot about you too being so close. Jeez, with so many of us within an hour or so of eachother, we could sure put on a great meet-up if everything wasn't going on right now. By the way, how was your trip to Menards? I've been re-doing a shed and my barn and have found I cannot go to Menards on Thursday or Friday (forget the weekend too!) and have to be in and out before 9am in Rochester Mon-Wed, otherwise it's like Black Friday :o I was there a couple Fridays ago, leaving at about 10 am and the line waiting to get in was wrapped around the store :o
My brother's house is in Robbinsdale (Lowry avenue) and my wife was watching all the videos tonight through Snapchat and seen some stuff happening within a few blocks of his house that he is trying to sell, so he's now worried he won't get his house sold because of all this.

Nick, I am near St. Louis , Missouri. I have seen first hand several recent riots of similar caliber. The Ferguson riots being the most notable one that made national news and were used to advance the “agenda’’ of the rioters. Some of the “protesters’ justifiably want American justice to take its course ,but some gangstas & thugs seek advantage to steal and create mayhem , and some agitators are well funded and organized politically and seek nothing short of the beginnings of a revolution. In St. louis the after effects are still festering today with huge amounts of crime, record homicides, and layering lectures of political correctness and repetitive MSM media excuses. I lived in the most violent of cities in the USA , and just this weekend over 22 people were shot and 4 dead. Drive-by shootins every week, many teens and children shot. Carjacking rampant. Hardly a peep in the local news its so commonplace.
My point is that what happened to that black man by those cops that lead to his death needs to have the highest level of examination and if there is guilt it should be trialed & punished ASAP in accordance with the LAW.

Take care all.
Nick, my son who was in St Paul before was supposed to be there now, he's only not there because of COVID thankfully, we would have been so worried if he was.
-
Yep, I work in St Paul we had to leave work early yesterday. Protesting was only a few blocks away.
Sad times.
-
I’m not in the big cities, but they are protesting about 15 miles from me. Members Airspyder, Inge, and CBWho are near the worst of it. My brother, his wife and baby came down this evening to stay at my grandmas because they heard a bunch of gunshots near them last night. They are also warning to be careful when driving under bridges as they are throwing bricks and rocks at windshields.

Nick take care in Minnesota.
