| Minneapolis neighborhoods face food desert after looting closes multiple stores |
| 2020-06-05 |
| [StarTribune] With Cub, Target, two Aldi stores and many small markets damaged by rioting over the past week, Longfellow and about eight other neighborhoods have nearly become a food desert. "I consider the loss of these businesses devastating," said Melanie Majors, executive director of the Longfellow Community Council. "Besides just the food, there’s a lack of retail for diapers, formula, household goods, even clothing." Many residents of the area shop lower-priced stores such as Aldi or dollar stores. Two of those dollar stores — including Family Dollar on Lake Street — were destroyed in last week’s looting and violence that arose after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis police custody. You don't say. Who could have predicted this?!? More whining at the link. "Bad Luck"? |

| #12 20 miles north, our Cub store and Walmart are low on a lot of food. Folks from riot town are up here shopping in safety. |

| #9 We'll still be expected to bail them out and we'll have Karens everywhere setting up food collection baskets, and stores and restaurants sending free food for the poor dears. Don't worry about the cost, it'll be passed on to you. That's what leftism is: Break your shit or steal it, and then require you to bail them out when the consequences manifest. It's like when the Chingchong Coms make families pay for the bullet that killed their dissident relative. It's all about rubbing your face in your inability to do anything about it. |

| #8 Assault trucks entering your city and they won't come. Burn stores in your city and they take time (years?) to come back. Ask Antifa to bring you food. |
