The Red Guard comes to Minnesota

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.

It would be a shame if something happened to their nice little insurrection.

[shelterguy]

If they are going to stop everyone driving a Suburban around here they are going to be very busy.

[ComputerGuy]

What kind of idiot would step in front of a moving vehicle?

[Apparatchik]

Makes me want to rent an SUV and go around Minneapolis revving my engine, pointing my wheels and making sudden moves at these people. Wonder if it would make them fear for their lives?

[redfreedom]

The vehicle appears to be a white Suburban. Just the other day while driving around town I remarked to my wife about the number of those vehicles in town, and I’d like to have one.

In driving through the local Walmart 80% of the vehicles are either SUV’s or pickups.

Many here carry. If these jerks tried this out in a Trump town in a red state they’d find themselves with extra holes in their body.

If Trump had not been elected all major cities in each state would soon have become just like Minneapolis. The bullet we dodged by not having Walz as VP is just amazing.

[Uncle Miltie]

Somebody is going to get shot or run over.

Try stopping me in my 270 hp truck, blue haired pencil necked chick.

[marktwain]

This is only possible be Mayor Frey and Governor Walsh allow and encourage it.

In a sane society, when people attempt to stop your car it is attempted kidnapping and you should be allowed to use force to escape, even deadly force.

[marktwain]

“be Mayor” should be “because Mayor”

[CodeToad]

I would literally shoot them. A few dead lefties is all it takes to quell their fascist desires.

[Vaduz]

Minneapolis a bigger Hotel California the left are those people that have become dangerously crazy.

[Kid Shelleen]

It seems like this would be an easy way for the police to arrest extremists. If only they weren't being ordered to stand down.
Perhaps ICE or the FBI could set up some bait SUVs. Have an agents in plain clothes following to arrest the trouble makers.

” The bullet we dodged “

More like, the bullets leftists dodged.

[DCBryan1]

Someone could have fun with some IDF suppressed Ruger 10/22s.

[Nea Wood]

“The fact that you’re driving a vehicle like this… You can’t. You go rent something else.”

They have the gall to stop people and tell them they can't drive a certain kind of vehicle? These monsters need an @ss whooping, is what THEY need.

[Magnum44]

Seems like there are many these days. Must come from a breeding farm.

[alloysteel]

These vigilantes that randomly stop vehicles on the streets of Minneapolis are the REAL Gestapo, representing the Nazis that run the state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison (really the smarter of the two) and Tim Walz, a doofus and a front man for the grifters who are stripping out all the government “transfer funds”, and funneling those funds to their personal causes, none of which benefit Minnesota or its non-DFL socialist citizens in the least.

The Somalis are just a convenient conduit. But they are in on the scam in a really big way themselves.

[Wilderness Conservative]

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.

[rlmorel]

This is astonishing. I had read of it, but until I saw that woman telling that spineless, weak, feminized purported male that he had to rent some other kind of vehicle, I didn’t fully grasp this.

That beastly bitch, I am aware of her type. When I read Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago “, she was the kind, in the depths of the Lubyanka who would crush the testicle of a helpless man under interrogation with the toe of her pointed shoe.

She was the member of The Red Guard who would arrest a treasured teacher for a struggle session.

Orwell knew of her type:
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
