Time to board up the windows folks.
The city of Minneapolis is bracing for a repeat of the violent rampage that took place following the video of career criminal and drug addict George Floyd’s fatal encounter with local police last summer.
When the nearly nine-minute video of Floyd’s arrest by four Minneapolis cops that omitted key parts that would have provided important context went viral, what used to be one of America’s finest Midwestern cities before demographic warfare turned it into a domestic version of Mogadishu erupted in an outburst of mayhem that thanks to social media, and the unrest spread throughout the country.
Minnesota’s feckless political authorities struggled to quell the mayhem despite calls by then-President Donald J. Trump to deploy the National Guard and by the time that the bloodlust had subsided, large portions of the downtown area resembled the bombed-out remains of a wartorn third-world shithole; the carnage claimed numerous minority-owned businesses, a peculiar way to get “justice” for George.
Floyd who is dead and buried has been forever immortalized by Black Lives Matter, the movement’s corporate sponsors, and celebrities along with NBA players including LeBron James, but the day of judgment has arrived for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin who will stand trial for his role in the death and anything less than a conviction will likely result in widespread rioting that this time around could result in random murders of innocent white people thanks to the climate of racial hatred that has been nurtured by the corrupt media.
Citizens of Minneapolis along with the same political leaders whose demands to defund and dismantle the city’s police force led to mass resignations of beleaguered law enforcement personnel and a skyrocketing crime rate are understandably on edge and bracing for their to erupt again.

Via PBS, “Minneapolis on edge as the trial in the police killing of George Floyd approaches”:
Downtown Minneapolis has become a fortress of barbed wire, concrete barriers, and boarded windows.
As Derek Chauvin’s trial approaches, the city will see a dramatic increase in law enforcement, including about 2,000 National Guard troops. It’s all aimed at preventing a repeat of last spring, when the unrest following George Floyd’s killing led to hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage.
Many people in Minneapolis will tell you this city is exhausted, after riots and destruction, a spike in violent crime, the pandemic, and winter. And community groups point to fortification around the court complex like this as evidence there’s been very little progress in improving relations between law enforcement and the community, especially communities of color.

The Washington Examiner reports, “Minneapolis increasingly unrecognizable for longtime residents as Chauvin trial looms”:
Bill Carlyon moved to the metropolitan area in 1980 to work as an electrical engineer after a brief stint in the army. Back then, he says, Minneapolis was more inclusive than just about anywhere else in the country he ever visited.
“Almost everybody I know won’t come downtown anymore for any reason. We used to come down to theater events and movies all the time. Now there’s gangs that just rove around and beat up old people,” said Carlyon, 69, who prides himself on working with the black community for decades on anti-poverty initiatives. “When I moved here, it was diverse. [There were] mixed bars [and] mixed restaurants, [and] nobody thought anything of that. I don’t know what happened since then.”
Two sets of barriers with barbed wire in the middle wrap the perimeter of town hall and the courthouse, where the murder trial of former police officer Derick Chauvin is scheduled to begin Monday. A black man who only went by “Frankie” said he had never seen anything like this in his entire adult life living in Minneapolis.
“It’s just wild. I just can’t believe it,” he told the Washington Examiner. “I took the train from my neighborhood just to get a look.”
Starting just after sunrise, contractors continued their work hammering massive pieces of plywood over storefronts and various banks. Preemptive security measures like these, estimated to cost millions of dollars, offered a small comfort to construction businesses that have seen a plunge in development projects for Minneapolis’s downtown area.
Everyone who spoke with the Washington Examiner on Saturday felt little doubt over Chauvin’s guilt. The video footage of him resting his knee on George Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes appeared excessive, even self-identified conservatives like Carlyon agreed.
The mobs have already started to gather…

The looming possibility that Chauvin may only be convicted on the lesser charge of manslaughter once the jury has seen the videos of Floyd – who was lit up like a Christmas tree on Fentanyl, had serious heart issues, and was resisting arrest – in the proper context would be the worst-case scenario and not only Minneapolis, but other cities will burn and the mobs may even invade the suburbs but that is how it could go down.
Another wave of rioting, destruction, and violence would be a test of old white Joe’s real cred with the black community that he so loves to boast about but it’s hard to see a dementia-addled dummy like Biden being able to prevent riots from burning out of control nationwide.
As for the FBI, they are too busy chasing after phantom “white supremacists” to be bothered, and besides, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA are protected groups that are almost certainly sanctioned at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
The shit may be only days away from hitting the fan.
