Minneapolis is No Longer Part of America

Minneapolis used to be a beautiful, proud city. That was yesterday, no longer true today. One-half of the Twin City region, Minneapolis is a business hub in the middle of the country, easy to access, and nestled in a beautiful area of Minnesota.

The climate has changed dramatically since the unfortunate death of George Floyd. That event created a destructive storm of riots, looting, and burning of businesses downtown. Over 1500 buildings and businesses were destroyed, and many will never return. The story told by the mainstream media at the time never told the whole story because of fear of being canceled as racist. BLM took over the downtown and contributed to why businesses opted to relocate elsewhere rather than return to Minneapolis. An unfortunate chapter in the city’s history.

A rarely published fact about Floyd was that his autopsy showed he had enough Fentanyl in his system that he would have died of drug poisoning even if not under restraint by the Minneapolis police officer who was later convicted of Floyd’s death.

Another chapter prior was the influx of Somali refugees to Central Minnesota by Non-government organizations. The 2017 census for Minnesota shows nearly 70,000 Somalis that had relocated to the state. This influx of immigrants not only put a burden on public schools and local resources but also changed the region’s culture. This pilgrimage to Minnesota gave them Representative Ilhan Omar and her husband/brother. Omar barely won her primary for reelection last week and is almost assured of reelection.

The ongoing shame of the recent happenings is the folks of Minnesota that are giving up and fleeing the state. They no longer feel safe as the Left successfully defunded police, and crime is rising. It is unfair to these natives of Minnesota who are saying goodbye to the state they grew up loving and enjoying.

The latest event today shows how far this state has dipped. According to the NY Post:

Minneapolis public school teachers of color will have additional job protections this upcoming school year under a new contract that would allow them to keep their jobs rather than white instructors with more seniority.

As I read through the comments on this post I weep for the country. OMG some really STUPID people (well one anyway) chiming in with unbelievably stupid remarks.

It’s sad what Minneapolis has become. Thanks leftists. You screw up everything you touch.

It is really sad what has become of our universities and the United States in general. We have lost our way

@CookieLuvsBunny

Yes, very sad and pathetic. Here's the reason why and how it happened. It started with the Frankfurt School of Marxism (Germany) founded by Marxist Communists which later fled to Columbia University in New York due to WWII (12:09m)...

[media=https://youtu.be/gIdBuK7_g3M]

...who helped facilitate the eventual acceptance of cultural Marxism in America by the corruption of American culture through the "arts, entertainment, and news media, and most especially the schools and universities. As such, the weapon to be used for revolution was not the economic might of an organized working class, but a 'long march through the institutions' (a phrase actually coined by German Marxist Rudi Dutschke), whereby every institution in the West would be subverted through penetration and infiltration." *

Tell everyone you know.

A rarely published fact about Floyd was that his autopsy showed he had enough Fentanyl in his system that he would have died of drug poisoning even if not under restraint by the Minneapolis police officer who was later convicted of Floyd’s death.

That's a lie. It was a Facebook post.

The facts are that:

Two autopsy reports said the manner of George Floyd’s death was a homicide. Neither said the cause of his death was a fentanyl overdose.

The Hennepin County medical examiner found fentanyl in Floyd’s system, but the autopsy said the cause of his death was “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law-enforcement subdual restraint, and neck compression.”

Experts told the Washington Post they did not believe Floyd died from the fentanyl.

@SW-User Actually that initial report was release before the toxicology report which was ignored by most of the media. Floyd was minutes from death even before he was arrested. Actually ,Chauvin and Floyd knew each other (see Floyd's arrest and prison records). They pretty much hated each other. Considering Floyd's lethal drugged up condition, an ambulance would have been more appropriate than an arrest, but would he have made it to ER in time? We'll not know the answer to that one. Maybe Chauvin very inappropriately took out his hate for Floyd. Bottomline, don't believe anything from the news media. I used to work in downtown Minneapolis. It was once a beautiful city. It's been destroyed, it's a lawlessness domestic terrorist war zone and I'll never go back again.
I was watching a podcast yesterday from an event called The Pit. One of the speakers was discussing how the CCP has infiltrated our country. He spoke at great length of the grass roots efforts of various communist party political factions growing within the US. BLM is one of the radical arms of the CCP.

@Barefooter25 It was not that we didn't listen. McCarthy was taken down by the rich and powerful communists who had formed a little colony in Hollywood. Hollywood was supported by EVERYONE because they were glamorous and had so many popular stars.

The actual communists there paid the politicians in Washington to say that we could not persecute fellow "Americans" whose political beliefs differed from our own. That was the beginning of the end. That was when Walter Winchell and others were effectively destroyed...for supporting McCarthy.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
@4meAndyou Walter Winchell had a terrific and informative voice when he narrated The Untouchables.
4meAndyou · F
@Barefooter25 He was a powerful voice for McCarthy, also.

Democrats believe that the way to racial equality is to destroy what they perceive as white society.

Look at how many US cities they destroyed in pursuit of what they think of as equality, and look at the equality they failed to achieve.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@SW-User No, it's not.

Well, not to an American.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@SW-User

The way you right wing nutjobs talk, you'd think Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis have literally been burnt to the ground

So what's an acceptable level of those cities that we should accept as OK to be destroyed?

Just as you can't put out a fire out with more fire, you can't solve inequality with more inequality.

@luv2fish I’ve actually seen the unedited video and it’s the same as before. In the end, Floyd died due to an officer kneeling on his neck. Protests and riots started due to the fact that for two weeks after the disturbing video, the officer responsible for his death had not been arrested. And If Floyd was “minutes” away from death he wouldn’t have been as coherent/responsive when the officer spoke to him before pulling him out of the cruiser, in fact Floyd would have been slumped over and not breathing. The situation would have been different with the officer performing CPR and giving Floyd narcan for Od’ing. However, Floyd was very much alive, aware, and possibly having a panic attack.

he should have been taken by ambulance to ER, but at the point he was pretty much gone anyway.


Eventually Floyd was taken by ambulance after he died from asphyxiation, were CPR was finally administered but time is precious when someone’s life is on and line and the officers responsible for his death did not immediately start CPR and ventilation once he stopped moving and talking. Even in the unedited video, they weren’t even trying. That’s a fault on their part.

@SW-User

Will you send out your biased, fault-finding, and virtue-signaling summary on a journey of annunciation across the sky of Utopia via UFO 👽 shaped balloons "just to mess with people" as in your story?
SW-User
@PatKirby So I take you didn’t watch the trial? If it wasn’t for the video that told a of different story than luv2fish’s biased version of it, those officers responsible for Floyd’s death would have not been serving time.

But seriously, if after a year you’re still upset that Chauvin is in prison serving time for the murder of Floyd, and cherry-picking information about the case is the only way for you to cope, then I feel sorry for you.
anybody who has any sense is gettin the hell outta that state. like they have been abandoning New York for years.
luv2fish · 70-79, M
@YourMomsSecretCrush We used to live near Minneapolis and I worked in downtown. We moved out of the state and I'll never go back to Minneapolis. It's a domestic terrorist war zone. Don't believe the news media. Take from someone who was actually there.
Barefooter25 · 46-50, M
When you have a city that has an American hating foreigner like Ilhan Omar as a congressional rep., it tells you all you need to know about Minneapolis. Also, Chicago, Baltimore, NYC, LA, Detroit and Atlanta are basically in the same situation as Minneapolis. Been this way for years.
ron122 · 41-45, M
Any city that supports lhan Omar has no credibility. How can people be so stupid as to vote for that idiot?
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Didn't the Dems support burning the city down
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@MarineBob I think the correct term was “let them burn off some energy “.
And don’t forget, they were “ mostly peaceful”. Lol
ShadowWolf · 31-35, M
It's a socialist commie hellhole now. Good job Omar and kin.

Why do black people bother you so much?
Budwick · 70-79, M
@black4white Not agreed.

It's an obvious reversal to make an impact.
You are glad they are trying to make a change and don't think the unfair policy will stick.
I'm more of the mind to ensure it doesn't stick by letting 'em know it's wrong.

@black4white
i would love to let them know its wrong just the same.

You can start by saying so here!
Take a stand !

.they are trying to make up for the past where things were CLEARLY racist (against blacks) yet no one cared

You can't change the past. Even by taking down statues - that happen to remind us of the darker pages of our history.

Glad to have actually conversed today.
Gotta go soon.See ya.

@SW-User
And your post, as usual, is a polemic full of breathless rhetoric, with no actual factual content.

Whoa! Hold on there No-Knees - There's a lot of factual content in my post. Minneapolis is factually a dump.

Floyd is factually dead, and they are planning to make an unconstitutional change to hiring / firing practice for teachers.
4meAndyou · F
And they will LOSE the very first court case against them. The ruling will be that it is unconstitutional.

I feel that this is not an issue of too many Somali's, but an issue created by the Teachers Unions, who are out and out Marxists and who believe fervently in CRT and the 1619 project. When local citizens don't even KNOW enough about the Constitution of the United States to know this is illegal, we get situations like this one.

Please read the book I am reading called The Battle for the American Mind by Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin. It's a guide to overcoming the teachers unions... in an unexpected way.
You get what and who you voted for…
…and upon realizing your mistakes over the years you leave that place!!
Seattle, and Portland concern me, in this radical behavior thats been going on.
Ya know, I really like the way SW allows for self expression.

This post seems really creative and I'm happy you can post it here.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@MistyCee And, I'm happy that you are happy.

We’ll Minneapolis’s policy on teaching is not racist at all. 🙄 looks like we have another California on our hands.

Just like their genetic brothers and sisters in Sweden , they practice north European altruism to the point of suicide .

It's a racist city with Jim Crow demonic energy. And now with all of these current issues going on there it will never change. 🙂

I actually think Floyd and Chauvin were deeply flawed, Chauvin being a just a stereotypical dull, aggressive pig but capable of filling a role in society, whereas Floyd was straight up garbage.

What about the Somali cop who executed the Australian woman? She only called the cops for goddsakes. He's already been released from prison.

just my 2 cents
