Nah, it was largely unharmed. My girl and I walk that for our lunch break daily. Broadway near the Promenade is (was? they might've cleaned a lot up since Monday AM when saw it) just destroyed.@KingBash said:
Say KB, any trouble on Montana Ave the other nite? I used to visit there on the reg before I got married.@Caactorvike said:
It was HILARIOUS. Who likes this?! Seriously, we share a country with people who watched that and went, "Yeah, that's my guy." He's a pathetic excuse for a man.@savannahskol said:
The national parks directors comment has been directly contradicted by a number of eye witnesses and film footage. Of course Trump says we shouldn’t believe what we see. The desecration of that church is horrible—and that desecration was only compounded by the galling hypocrisy of the photo op ( btw—no need to put it in quotes. It lasted 3 minutes and Trump never said anything other than “it’s a bible” when asked “ is that your bible?”)@Caactorvike said:
Which is not how it happened, according to the National Park Service Director.@BlackMagic7 said:
KB was referring to the peaceful protests in Washington DC not Mpls. In Washington the protesters were tear gassed, flashbombed and had rubber bullets fired at them ( and an Australian reporter was beat up) Without warning and before the curfew, simply so Trump could waddle a block or two to a church he never attended and hold up a book he had never read. All for a 3 min. Photo op.

Interesting. Well regardless, lost in all the fervor of the looters being pieces of shit, there's zero discussion here about the peaceful protestors gassed Monday night - without warning - on Trump's orders so he could have a photo op as he fumbled a Bible in front of a church... all because people made fun of him the day before, hiding in a bunker and turning the porch lights off because people had mean signs about him outside.
Just wondering why that was deleted. I didn't attack anybody. I tried to explain it in real time in my thread as I spent my entire night watching it evolve from Facebook LIVE and Youtube LIVE searches. But I feel like I'm viewed as a part of some "side" ya'll are fighting against just because i'm not in line or something...
There certainly WAS warning. Not just from President Trump, but Governer Walz. He held a 1 am press conference, Friday night I believe, telling people to get off of the streets!!! He told people the National Guard was coming in. He sternly looked at the camera and said this is NOT a joke, go home.
The issue really is for all of the police brutality videos, articles and stories you WE are getting, you WE are NOT getting the entire picture of what the riots were! They we're fucked! It WAS a war! Innocent people have had their entire lives flipped upside down. Families are terrorized. KIDS! People of every race in MN arming themselves to protect their own.
That's also a thing nobody wants to talk about... all of this police action, national guard response and "threat" of military build organically in real time night after night. I swear to god, we just wake up and see the shit people fling at us to get us upset. Some want us to vote blue and turn it off, some apparently are ready to FIGHT so bad they are begging others to clash with each-other, well after the real rioting has calmed down.
I get emotional thinking about the brutality though man. I certainly DO have compassion for the people in the cross fire of this shit. People who have been permanently scarred by the police response; i totally agree that shit IS fucked man... It is!! Police officer in Vegas got shot in the back of the head by a civilian - that shit's fucked too.

All this outrage over a "photo op", and not one lament in these posts about the historic church burning.
Interesting.
Parting shots over, take it away.
On second thought, don’t tell me, I need the memory of how it was. Cuz I’m married.
Come back and relive the memories - Montana is probably the cleanest, safest area in SM left.
