Minneapolis leftists threaten to burn down another police station after election defeat
[ALPHANEWS.ORG] Leftists in Minneapolis are so unhappy with the results of their city’s democratic process that they want to burn down another police precinct.

"Do you want more burned precincts? Because this is how you get more burned precincts," said Ian Coldwater, a widely followed, Twitter-verified, Minneapolis-based anarchist after the city reelected Mayor Jacob Frey
...The inept and ineffective (but I repeat myself) Dem class president mayor of Minneapolis during the George Floyd race riots. Frey issued the order for police to evacuate the Third Precinct so it could safely be burned to the ground, and has since dithered, waffled, and obfuscated on a near daily basis. The city is a Dem stronghold, so he'll probably be reelected...
and voted decisively to not remove the police department from its City Charter. This sentiment was echoed by dozens of other Twin Cities anarchists who said they’re ready to commit violence.

Many accounts, including the Twin Cities Workers Defense Alliance, a left-wing organizing group, have also posted pictures of the Third Precinct burning last summer. This act of terrorism "did way more good than voting ever could," one commenter added under the Alliance’s post.

Dr. Julie Tilsen, a member of the University of Minnesota’s "community faculty," fondly reminisced about the takeover of the Third Precinct, suggested that she participated, and warned that "after tonight, Minneapolis is a lot less safe."

This is not the first time the professor, who frequently calls her followers "comrades," has recommended violence against the police in response to current events. Over the summer, she encouraged the burning of another precinct.

Many leftists also cast doubt on the legitimacy of the municipal election.

"It’s almost like voting is bullshit," said an account run by a local Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
organizer, Natalina Slaughter, who is only interested in options that involve violence.

"Someone wake me back up when we [choose] violence," she said.

Others called for violence against media outlets that provided a perspective that questioned left-wing narratives.

The proposal to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a department of public safety, which may or may not have included coppers, was defeated by 12 points in Tuesday’s election.

The plan was backed by several Minnesota Democrats, including Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.

The usual questions:
When will we see arrests and indictments from the US DOJ or the Minnesota AG regarding these criminal events?

Since these person(s) have open made terroristic threats which would clearly place innocent lives in danger, is it acceptable to apply Stand your ground self defense measures?


2021 Minnesota Statutes

609.713 THREATS OF VIOLENCE.

1.Threaten violence; intent to terrorize.

...terror or inconvenience may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. As used in this subdivision, "crime of violence" has the meaning given "violent crime" in section 609.1095, subdivision 1, paragraph (d).

2.Communicates to terrorize.

Whoever communicates to another with purpose to terrorize another or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror, that explosives or an explosive device or any incendiary device is present at a named place or location, whether or not the same is in fact present, may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than three years or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both.

#2 You get more of what you tolerate.

The commies went full scorched earth to remove Trump. Now they have scorched earth to live in.

#3 When will we see arrests and indictments from the US DOJ or the Minnesota AG regarding these criminal events?

Right after they finish with parents who speak out at local school board meetings.

#5 I keep saying that one MA-deuce and a couple of belts of ammo will stop this. Nobody has enough courage for that. Sigh.
