Were taxpaying Americans impacted by the airport/mall actions? A serious question, because if this was done in my area I’d think the brunt of the these things would be borne by blacks and foreigners (though of course some working Americans would be impacted by the airport nonsense).

Decades ago an acquaintance was buying a home in SE Pennsylvania (NW of Philly); he used a compass to draw circles on a map - each one designating an approximately 20 mile radius around any black population - and told his wife to pick any area outside of the circles to buy a home. His home has appreciated nicely, and he never encounters hateful ethnic minorities (any minorities in the area are hard-working taxpayers). When he looked at a demographic map online, he was puzzled to see a large concentration of blacks a few miles away; he looked into it and found out it was Graterford Prison.

I think most people buy homes today using similar strategies (those that bother buying); others keep their freedom to flee by renting.

No, you could never indicate it was a calculated decision. You thought you were braking - end of story. A simple traffic accident...

Bullshit. The mall owners sought an injuction against BLM so they switched to the airport.

They started at the shopping mecca in suburban Bloomington, where there was a heavy police presence, then took a light-rail train to the airport.

"In my day, we agitators had to walk. Uphill. Both ways," whined the guy with the gray ponytail and the Bernie Sanders t-shirt.

The blockage lasted less than an hour. The attention whores dispersed when a State Patrol officer announced that he would start ordering arrests if the crowd continued to disrupt traffic.

I picked up my wife and daughter at that terminal last evening and there wasn’t a black life to be seen.

It is interesting to note that 99 percent of the crowd whining about how much Black Lives Matter were bored white suburbanites, at least half of whom were dykey women and the other half gray-ponytail hippies. Typical Minnesota liberals, or, as I like to call them, Minnesota Lice.

These crybabies went from the Mall to the airport by light rail, another taxpayer-funded facility. I doubt they all paid the fare. My office overlooks the Mall station and I watched them board (I figured they were heading downtown to be closer to the TV studios). Oddly enough, I didn’t see many of them at the ticket kiosk.

So they literally got a free ride to harass innocent travelers for no better reason than a desire to be on the evening news.

It was not a decoy operation. The Mall protest fizzled out completely so they had to find somewhere else to infest. The airport is literally across the street, so I’m sure some brilliant pot-stirrer suggested they move there. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing when the original plan blew up.

You give these fools far too much credit.

I’ve noticed that too. Most of the perpetually offended for minorities are usually white liberals.

The protestors delayed flights. In other words they are interfering with interstate commerce. I’m sure DOJ will file RICO charges posthaste.

The Anti-Racketeering Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 1951 [2000]) makes RACKETEERING by ROBBERY or personal violence that interferes with interstate commerce a federal offense.

If there were only about 200 - why weren’t they ALL arrested?

He wanted to sound like a master plotter, with wheels within wheels, plans within plans. He comes off sounding like Pee Wee Herman saying,”I meant to do that”.

Four were arrested.

If someone isn't carrying signs or other gear, he can plausibly argue that he was just there shopping. It is a mall.

Just what you’d expect from overgrown children.

Napoleon quelled demonstrations with a “wiff of grapeshot” and they stayed quelled.

These types of black protest are a yawn. It’s not 1964.

Today’s BLM protest are aimed at white people - that’s wrong headed and lame. Blacks want us to solve their problems? Grown up guys. Every other racial groups solves their own problems and they don’t threaten white people if they have crime in their own neighborhoods.

The black community needs to get together and solve their own problems. NOT threaten people who don’t do the work of solving their problems for them... Quit being bullies.

Crime in black communities is a black problem

Education failures in black communities is a black problem.

Filth on the streets in black communities is a black problem.

Lack of black businesses is a black problem.

The ‘let’s all march and bother white people’ so they’ll solve our problems for us’ is a serious black failure.

If white people had problems with white criminals they would NOT go to the black community and ‘march’. If white people had problems with police officers we would sit down with them and try to work it out. With blacks it’s either ‘solve our problems for us ‘ or “we’ll hurt you”.

Solve your own damn problems... And quit with the threats... makes your community look like thugs.

White liberal elites benefit from blacks never solving their problems. Don’t blacks see that? What have white liberal elites ‘solved’ in the black community in the past 30 years? NOTHING. White elites and their appointed black ‘leaders’ encourage high drama. Rabble rousing. They play the black community. Make threats.

Look around and see the messes that are NOT dealt with... open your eyes black community. Blacks being violent or making threats keeps blacks on the liberal elite plantation - it works for white liberal elites. But not for the rest of us. Black or white...

Exactly. There were more cops than protestors at the mall. And when these pukes tried to even leave the train platform at the airport, they were met by those special airport cops with body armor, automatic weapons, and no mood to be f*cked with.

Another concern has to be that Radical Islamic Terrorists infiltrate the BLM movement.

No, these fools are mostly people who blindly follow someone and they don’t think for themselves. Which means there is someone behind the scenes pulling the strings and providing money and logistical help.

If they’re afraid to arrest the negros because it would be racist, it looks to me like there are more whites in these protests. They can be arrested.
