The Red Guard comes to Minnesota
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jan, 2026 | J.R. Dunn

Posted on 01/17/2026 4:45:41 AM PST by MtnClimber

This is the mentality of the Cheka, the Red Guards, and the Khmer Rouge.

t seems that Minneapolis lefties have started patrolling the streets for drivers who happen to be behind the wheel of the same make of SUV as used by ICE and interrogating – not to say threatening – them. This video shows a gaggle of people’s tribunes who have brought an SUV to a stop (the video doesn’t show how) and forced the driver out to explain himself. They surround him, demand that he open the hatch to show them what he has inside, and then commence interrogating him. All that’s lacking are the Mao jackets and the caps with red stars.

First, the pretense that they’re intercepting evil ICE agents is utterly bogus. Quite apart from the fact that any competent ICE operative would scatter them in about five seconds, this guy -- middle-aged, overweight, shirt hanging out -- is obviously nothing of the sort and was obviously nothing of the sort while still behind the wheel. No; his crime was simply that he caught their notice while driving by, giving them an opportunity to cosplay their inner KGB agent.

Take a look at the blowsy ginger to the right. “I’m not here to help you,” she tells the driver. “The fact that you’re driving a vehicle like this… You can’t. You go rent something else.” Clearly, she’s reveling in it, truly enjoying the opportunity to debase and humiliate a member of the bourgeoisie.

The driver’s attempts to ingratiate himself are almost as annoying: “I really appreciate what you guys are doing.” A century and a half ago, the socialist Commune took control of Paris and immediately started executing people.

We Americans are obviously too nice. If these pinhead liberals held a riot in my town me and few boys would be doing some sketching things.

They leave their cars behind. Be a shame for something to happen to those beaters.

They shoot off fireworks at the cops, be funny for some to return the favor.

They like to use megaphones to harass people. I’ve got one too!

Lots of purple skin dye on my shelves just waiting to mark a few of these bozos. Many of them have jobs and how fun it would be to point out under black light to their employers their extra curricular activities.

I mean, why isn’t there lots of shenanigans going on in return??

Any Chevrolet Tahoe or Suburban. Tahoe has been Chevrolet’s primary police vehicle for 30 years, and since Ford replaced the Crown Victoria with the “Chinese Explorer” in 2011, it’s much easier to target the Tahoe/Suburban while Ford has no problem with the Explorer it seems.

That’s an amazingly brave thing to do in a shall-issue concealed carry state.

Or else it was staged for the camera.

The left seems to love its bloody shirt cannon-fodder martyrs. This is how you get more of them.

(I just bought a used 2015)

And as usual our side does nothing but complain. Im starting to suspect we have bee sold a lie that this will be dealt with by legal means.

The complaints need to be in the form of non-violent harassment of those whose duty it is to enforce the law...Oh- wait...damned if we do, damned if we don't!

Where in the U.S. Constitution does it say that Minniesomalia can use U.S. taxpayer dollars to save the Somalia craphole sewer and its knuckledraggers?

Chinese Explorer is because it is a built on a Geely sedan chassis.

Any one.

I would literally shoot them

OK Johnny Ringo. Now is not the time.

If you "literally" did that, you would literally be in prison for the rest of your literal life.

This is what inevitably happens when kids are raised by single Mothers, or by a Dad unwilling (or too cowardly) to smack upside the head.

Aww, corporal punishment. Wahh, wahh, wah. Have you seen what a Mommy dog or cat does to one of theirs who misbehaves? All babies of all animals are little savages. It is up to their parents to discipline them enough so that they are not simply killed the first time they leave the nest and encounter an adult not bonded to them by genetics.

The Left has been after SUVs since the early 90s.

I remember Paul Shanklin's parody video "In a Yugo".

“If you “literally” did that, you would literally be in prison for the rest of your literal life.”

You always take the position of doing nothing.

Is there ever a time when you would use any force?? I bet you wouldn’t be such a coward if your life was being threatened, or maybe you would.

A mob attacking someone can be shot at.

At my age and with my chronic medical conditions, that’s not much of a threat.

You force my vehicle to stop on a public road and approach me in a threatening manner you’re going to face the business end of a hand gun. Press it any further and you will be dead. Period.

If you were to shoot one of these kidnappers good luck with a commie judge and jury in that town. You’d get convicted if you shot one of them AFTER he stabbed you.

No, it isn’t (at least not the 2015 I have). It’s based on the Ford D4 platform, which is a revision of the Volvo-derived Ford D3 platform used on the sixth-generation Taurus. D3 derived from the Volvo P2 architecture from when ford owned Volvo. P2 was developed entirely by Volvo.

Good grief. That guy with the white SUV needs to learn how to say “eff you, Karen,” and keep driving.

Those people are nobody. And they need to be reminded of that. (Well, OK, they might be HOA officers or something…)
