Tourism is down and not going to improve with all the so called destination shops etc. closed or moving out.

I suspect it's going to take a little while to see the fallout of this fully come home to roost, but make no mistake: it's coming. Seattle may very well end up like Detroit, and Buffalo, and so many other big liberal cities that used to be industrious and cultured and are now just a decayed shell of their former glory. The housing market on the East side is going pretty strong, but I think within a few short years, it's going to start going the other way. I've got to get out of here before we wind up upside-down on our house.

My conservative neighbors across the street are listing their house, and the father of one of the kids up the street that my son plays with mentioned buying body armor recently. The shockwaves of this summer's events in Seattle are traveling outwards.

A lot of people must be thinking the same, recently upgraded my kit and ordered a MICH for the live in MIL ( all in the household have BA) and most places were 2-3 months out for deliveries

So in reading the above article all I have to say about the title and quotes such as

“ The latest revelations come as residents of Minneapolis' Southside voice concerns about rising crime in the area and frustration with the city's response to the ongoing civil unrest.”

“NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!!”

I read that story yesterday linked from thelibertydaily. Reading the council members try to finesse the definitions of what they stated earlier so as to immunize their career from the consequences of their actions made me think these people are developmentally arrested. They reason like children. No wonder their community is in decline.

In the early 1900s, rational people, might, be able to be deluded into Socialism/Communism.

Now, its clear they both fail. Its not even about social programs anymore - those were more efficiently funded by tax credits - its about robbing Peter to pay Crony, and tell the papers it was to pay Paul - but, most importantly, rob Peter, for being a horrible person, who has done something with his life, above all, hate Peter.

Suspicious Fire Destroys Trump Supporter’s Garage, Truck; Pro-Biden, BLM Graffiti Left At Scene

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Brooklyn Center family says their garage and trucks were burned early Wednesday morning [September 23, 2020], and they believe it was because of the “Trump 2020” flags that were draped over them.

The FBI and ATF have been called in to investigate the fire at Denis and Deana Molla’s home.

“I heard just a big, loud boom, or a bang,” Denis said. “The first thing for me was my kids, my wife. What’s going on?”

The family’s garage, trucks and trailer were burned just after 3 a.m. Wednesday. Graffiti on the garage read, “Biden 2020,” “BLM” — shorthand for Black Lives Matter — and the anarchy symbol of an “A” with a circle around it. Two 3 x 5 Trump flags were on the trailer and truck.

Denis says as he saw three people running from the home. He focused on getting his children — ages 2 and 5 months — out.

“Our family’s safe, that’s the main thing. All this is material, it’s all material. It’s not as important as our family,” Denis said.

The family says they got the Trump flags just a week ago after Dennis, a contractor, had a dispute at a work site over his support for the president. Since they have had the flags up, they say people have been driving by their house very slowly, some taking pictures.

“We’re just very happy to be alive, and praise God that we’re alive,” Deana said.

The family was also able to save four puppies from the smoke-filled garage. Their home suffered minor damaged. They say they can’t believe someone targeted them for their political beliefs.

“It just shocked me,” Denis said. “These kind of stuff should not happen, especially over beliefs of some sort.”

One of the family’s surveillance cameras was blocked just before the explosion. Other surveillance cameras have been turned over to authorities.

Brooklyn Center police say the Minnesota Arson Reward Project is offering a $5,000 reward for information on the case. The arson hotline is 1-800-723-2020.

Guessing Woods is just trolling people, this was over 2 years ago, a bouncer at a bar, nothing to do with BLM...

Not that it wasn't a spectacular move....

And in unrelated news..... BLM doesn’t seem too concerned about Black lives in Chicago.

Since May 29th (Floyd died May 25th), 363 murders in Chicago. On average, 79% are black (287) and 90% are men (258).

Where’s BLM, NBA and the NFL?

Wrong kind of black people for them to care about. Durr...

They only want the ones Chris Rock talked about.

So much fail... More evidence of emotional rather than rational decision making.

quote:

In fact, according to the New York Times, some council members "would like a do-over."

Councilor Andrew Johnson, one of the nine members who supported the pledge in June, said in an interview that he meant the words "in spirit," not by the letter. Another councilor, Phillipe Cunningham, said that the language in the pledge was "up for interpretation" and that even among council members soon after the promise was made, "it was very clear that most of us had interpreted that language differently."

Lisa Bender, the council president, paused for 16 seconds when asked if the council's statement had led to uncertainty at a pivotal moment for the city. "I think our pledge created confusion in the community and in our wards," she said.

Yes, "spiritual defunding". Of course.

Well, if they want a do-over, what's stopping them?

Wait... So in what corsair copied.... They said it and meant it, until it blew up in there faces, now they really didn't mean it?

No they are politicians who want to get reelected and knowing Mpls. they most likely will. That Lisa Bender is really a special kind of bat shit crazy!

So, during the day over the weekend in Portland, 3 protests and no violence. Then the sun goes to sleep (well it was active in bad way for Amateur Radio) and then rioteers go to work in downtown Portland. But - the police in downtown were still under the joint command Gauleiter Brown set up in her emergency declaration. So I hope the 30 or so arrested will get Federal charges, bypassing that idiot Portland DA.

Ooops - Kate, you should have dismantled the joint command at 6 PM Saturday after the Proud Boys were done with their peaceful gathering, which was your real target with you all of the sudden wake up to override the CS ban in Portland.

HA HA - even when you act to curb the violence you screw up by getting your bolshevik rioters screwed at night.

After a few month of hearing the idiocy spouted by these idiots, they resemble the Seattle City Council. Not only is Bender quite the spaz, so is Alondra Cano, Jeremiah Ellison and Cam Gordon; and to think, their opponents who lost to each of them during the last election, was even nuttier then them. WTF Minneapolis?

Be careful trying to make any sense of their bullshit. You might bruise your brain, something these commie imbeciles never have to worry about, since the space between their ears is a vast and arid wasteland. These morons think "logic" is a website owned by Vox or Salon.

Before life began when the angels were handing out logic, Leftists thought they said 'magic' and turned it down preferring instead to make their own...

Another great article by Kurt
