bearrock Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/30/us/minneapolis-business-support-protest-riot-gandhi-mahal-trnd/index.html Quote In the midst of the protests and violence in Minneapolis stood a popular local restaurant: the Gandhi Mahal. Ruhel Islam, the business owner who immigrated from Bangladesh 24 years ago to escape state violence, started his business nearly 13 years ago. It burned to the ground during the unrest Thursday night. When he found out, Islam said he only had one response: "Let my building burn. Justice needs to be served and those officers need to be put in jail." His daughter, Hafsa Islam, said her family went from their normal routine of making curry to transforming their restaurant into a safe haven for injured protesters who needed first aid. "We were worried about business, of course, but we were more worried about the protesters," she said. "All of Tuesday and Wednesday we took in hundreds of injured people. By Thursday night, it felt too dangerous to be there." I really don't have words.... 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell, man I think we’ll get animal skins and wooden shields once the hipsters finally show up to the party. Those bearded weirdos are going to march in snarling about Valhalla. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see anything though and clearly I am not going there. I did see the barricades when i went to the grocery store earlier. We had a Public Safety Curfew placed on the city of Atlanta from 9Pm until sunrise. This is like the DC Riots of the 1960s. And the presidents response is to incite more violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully when all this is over people understand that saying police is equivalent to saying fascist goon squad. They have more than enough power and armaments to brutalize people. However we can have the last laugh by demanding that police unions be gutted after this. Edited May 31, 2020 by The Sisko 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Most of what I'm seeing, based on posts here and twitter stuff, is police spraying tear gas and firing rubber bullets. This is going to hit another level if protesters start arming themselves and firing back. I've never been tear gassed so maybe it is just that debilitating, but it seems like in most cases, the police are outnumbered at least 10-1. I'm shocked the crowds haven't rushed them after one of these escalations. Edited May 31, 2020 by Forehead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump had all day to try to convince folks to obey the curfews. He wants this fight. Live to fight another, you can't rush the White House.

Destino Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 There are no peaceful rallies late today after what happened last night. Both sides are doing this finger pointing and they aren’t fooling anyone. Everyone is expecting things to turn violent at sundown, there’s no mystery here. If you’re still out there and not expecting violence, I’m sorry but you’ve shown up at the wrong party. Last night the cops seemed to initially pull back everywhere and the destruction got out of hand. Today the curfews are earlier and cops are asserting themselves early. it’s not because they are instigating, they’re adjusting their tactics. This won’t stop them from pretending protesters forced their hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so I’ve been told. 1 minute ago, Renegade7 said: It's not good if police lose tonight and military has to take over. I know being called into New Orleans we had birds coming back with bullet holes. And there was no thought of us shooting back. I doubt this admin will order the same type of response. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 There's no doubt in my mind Trump would make it worse with a live address tonight, but he owes us one as president. Doing nothing but talking trash from his bunker is not even trying to be a leader. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
