This is just the beginning.

The owner of a Minneapolis-based manufacturing plant decided to move his company after rioters burned his business down.

Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma said he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the George Floyd riots.

“They don’t care about my business. They didn’t protect our people. We were all on our own,” Wyrobek told the Star Tribune. “The fire engine was just sitting there, but they wouldn’t do anything. That’s the frustrating thing to us.”

Via The Star Tribune:

A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company’s owner saying he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs.

“They don’t care about my business,” said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. “They didn’t protect our people. We were all on our own.”

Wyrobek said the plant, which usually operates until 11 p.m., shut down about four hours early on the second night of the riots because he wanted to keep his workers out of harm’s way. He said a production supervisor and a maintenance worker who live in the neighborhood stuck around to keep watch over the business. He said they became alarmed when fire broke out at the $30 million Midtown Corner affordable housing apartment complex that was under construction next door.

Democrat Governor Tim Walz and Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey allowed rioters and looters to destroy businesses.

Now the Minneapolis City Council is disbanding the police department.

The Star Tribune obtained Minneapolis’ survey of property damage which revealed 1,000 commercial properties were damaged, including 52 businesses that were totally destroyed by rioters — the total cost of the damage is estimated at $500 million.

Do they really expect taxpaying, law abiding citizens and business owners to stick around?

Minneapolis will be reduced to rubble after Muslim no-go zones and lawless looters take over a city with no police to be found anywhere.

A manufacturing company that has been in Minneapolis since 1987 has decided to leave the city.

The company’s owner said he can’t trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots: “They don’t care about my business.” https://t.co/rMcZgudJCb

RE: Welcome to Mogadishu USA.

Isn’t Minnesota Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar from that part of the world?

Not that part of the world.
She is from Somalia who's capital is Mogadishu. She is from exactly there.
Obama took in tens of thousands of “refugees” from Somalia and settled them in Minneapolis with the aim of turning a nice peaceful mostly white part of America into an Islamic third world hell hole. He's been remarkably successful in that.

Also somewhat South.
Not too far from where they hold the Renaissance Festival (Shakopee).
Except I’ll bet that gets canceled due to COVID_19 like the State Fair.

I hope, in light of this “defund the police” crap, homes go up for sale, businesses move, and people start evacuating Minneapolis and New York. The protesters can create Wakanda and show the world how well that works for them all.

Would a class action lawsuit by businesses against the city that failed to protect those businesses be feasible - for recovery of past taxes, plus punitive damages?

"..Mass insanity has taken over the entire country.."

Not from my view. Best I can tell they're taking advantage of the low hanging fruit of their own leftist controlled areas and thus far mostly avoiding the vast expanses of pick-up truck territory.
Dunno how that'll end up figuring into things going forward, but from the sound of this general area on a given Saturday morning, such activity would be... ill advised. d:^)

“Brilliant move bringing in that Democrat voting block from Somalia.”

Actually, we can thank Bush Sr. for that gift, when he sent the boys there after losing the 1992 election, that opened up the pipeline that Obama then exploited. To this day, I don’t know why.
