The vice chairwoman of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota who was violently carjacked in front of her children had previously called to "dismantle" the police.
Shivanthi Sathanandan posted on Facebook a photograph of her bloodied face and detailed the injuries she sustained in the carjacking incident.
"Yesterday my children and I were violently car jacked in the driveway of our home in Minneapolis," wrote Sathanandan. "Four very young men, all carrying guns, beat me violently down to the ground in front of our kids. The young men held our neighbors up at gunpoint when they ran over and tried to help me. All in broad daylight."
The carjacking occurred at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday in front of Sathanandan's home. She went on to say that she had a broken leg, deep lacerations on her head, and bruising and cuts all over her body.
"Look at my face in the picture. This is the face of a mother who just had the s*** beaten out of her," she added.
She also demanded that criminal penalties be increased in order to deter violent crimes.
“We need to get illegal guns off of our streets, catch these young people who are running wild creating chaos across our city and HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY AND PROSECUTE THEM,” she wrote.
“Look at my face," Sathanandan added. "REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”
She garnered many comments of support from her friends and family on Facebook, but others pointed out that she had previously said she wanted to "dismantle" the Minneapolis police.
At the end of her recent post, Sathanandan thanked the Minneapolis police officers who helped her through the "terrifying experience."
The Minneapolis Police Department said that the car was later recovered after the suspects abandoned it, according to KSTP-TV.
Minnesota DFL Chairman Ken Martin released a statement about the incident.
“I am heartbroken at the news of Shivanthi’s attack. It is my sincere hope that the people who assaulted Shivanthi are quickly brought to justice and face punishment commensurate with the severity of their crimes," said Martin.
"My heart goes out to Shivanthi and her family and I hope their recovery from such a horrifying experience is as swift as possible," he added.
A similar incident was reported in 2021 when a Pennsylvania Democrat was carjacked in broad daylight after supporting the "defund the police" movement.
Good.
Be careful what you wish for.
Why does this story make me feel all warm and fuzzy???
🥰
That is some righteous karma right there boys. And glorious schadenfreude.
This liberal didn’t care when it was her voters faces! blacks are almost always the victim of other blacks! and yet liberals refuse to stay what this woman now realizes!
This woman should never be allowed to call the police nor even file a police report.
Shivanthi Sathanandannot a victim of this crime, she's an accessory to it.
Is she going to own up to her previous actions and say, "Oh, well! ***t happens?"
Thank goodness her children were not hurt.
For the rest, Karma.
Awesome. Hope it happens again. She doesn’t care that she unleashed this on everybody else. And she will still remain a hard core progressive. She just want’s the guy who beat HER to pay.
Nothing more.
Honey, you're the last ugly little narcissist that I'll remember. This crap is only important when it happens to your dopey azzes, you worthless proggy pigs.
Shivanthi? You embrace the suck.
Me? I’ll embrace the schadenfreude.
Those freaking emocrats. They get what they deserve.
Can we charge her with child endangerment. The consequences of her actions were reasonably foreseeble, though there is the obvious insanity defense for herslef and for the voters who elected her.
Nope. That's a minor assault.*
I won't post the picture of what having the s*** beat out of you looks like.
*pun fully intended...
I have absolutely zero compassion for this mindless cultural revolutionary. She got everything she asked for.
A person with any dignity at all would never have posted anything about this on social media after supporting dismantling the police. I bet the local cops are laughing their arses off over this.
I expect that would be a bad bet.
Most people cannot change their core beliefs and behaviors in response to even the most traumatic experiences. I have observed that a leftist who gets mugged generally remains - a leftist. They will blame their suffering on "structural racism" and "right-wing incitement". It is always somebody else who is at fault.
This one will continue to vote for civilian police oversight commissions that direct police to ignore black criminal activities.
Maybe she will have additional encounters with violent black criminals. That would be justice of sorts.
A summary of her actions after she was mugged!
