MINNEAPOLIS — Hundreds of boards sit inside a 1,000 foot space. “We are in the Northrup King Building in north Minneapolis and we've had this since the beginning of October,” says Leesa Kelly, with Save the Boards to Memorialize the Movement.

After George Floyd's death and the protests that followed, Kelly says, "I just was heartbroken and experiencing a lot of trauma and I needed to do something."

Kelly wanted to save the murals popping up on plywood boards posted on businesses throughout the Twin Cities, murals that captured the emotions of a community dealing with the hurt and pain of Floyd's death.

“That’s when the murals started to speak to me,” says Kelly. “It was such an emotional response when I would drive past them on the building and I just wondered what would happen once they were taken down."

If I didn’t have a sister that relies on me on an almost daily basis, I’d be sooooo gone.

There is something very odd about this sort of combo of emotion, hero worship, and a “hate all whites” mentality. Not sure if there’s a word for it.

Sure there is. Utter stupidity.

“With the cost of plywood sheets running about $60 a pop, she has a nice little fortune there. Sell them now. While she can.”

No kidding! Sell the plywood to someone who is building a house.

The entire country was guided by the Media into “celebrating” the death of George Floyd as if it were literally the SECOND ASSASSINATION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING-—all the trappings—mahogany casket with brass handles, clip clopping of the hooves of the horses drawing the funeral open sided hearse, the momentous coverage of this “once-in-a-lifetime” event in which “Daddy changed the world!” One should never expect any degree of honesty or proportion in blessedly rare events like the Floyd death-—they are too useful as agenda-drivers.

Without looking, I am going to guess this is about a white woman named Karen. How close was I?

Sounds like this could turn into a really nice big bonfire
