Five white men eating lunch in Minnesota bullied by surging mob who mistook them for ICE agents

A group of men enjoying lunch at a Minneapolis deli were bullied by a surging mob who mistook them for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, video shows.

Five software engineers had been dining at Clancy's Deli when anti-ICE protesters gathered outside the restaurant's front windows and shouted obscenities at them.

'Get out of our f***ing neighborhood,' one protester was heard yelling in a clip obtained by Alpha News. Another shouted: 'If you're not with us, you're against us.'

One demonstrator even went as far as calling them pedophiles and another screamed 'I hope you die,' the news outlet reported.

A victim, known as Lee, claimed the mob's ringleader said the group, who are not affiliated with ICE, deserved to be harassed because they were 'white privileged males.'

He has alleged that the restaurant owner was responsible for the chaos by falsely claiming the group of software engineers were federal agents.

'You don't tell extremists that random customers are ICE agents. That's how people get hurt,' Lee said, adding how one of his friends feared they would be shot.

Lee added that the mob's vile attack has changed the way some of his friend group feels about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Dozens of protesters assembled outside the restaurant after a message was sent in the 'SW Minneapolis Rapid Response' Signal chat claiming that plain-clothed ICE officers were dining there.

One of Lee's friends was in the chat and also received the message, which reportedly stated ICE's presence at the restaurant was 'confirmed by the owner.'

Lee claimed it only took 15 minutes for the massive mob to arrive at the deli.

The software engineers were reportedly being photographed and filmed by the group as they ate.

I call these moments (they happen daily) Rodney King moments.

Innocent people at the wrong place - wrong time.

Sounds like an open and shut case of slander. Time to hit the slanderer, the mob organizers and the rent a mob funders.

I’m waiting for the next world catastrophe. A meteor, an actual plague, world-famine- power goes out

Then all this bs ends. All this girlpower feminist bs. Nature resets life all the time.

Freaking animals. Proves exactly why we need to be booting illegals out of Minnesota.

Administration is 100% right on this.

Why don’t these people ever show up in junky 21 year old cars like I have?
They’re always in really nice rides.
Rich folk rides, even.

🧐

A software dev guy I used to have lunch with once in a while always sat in restaurants with his back to hard cover and his face to the door, and with his 9mm close at hand, unless the weather was cold enough that he felt no one would notice the bulk of his .45. I never asked him why he did that, just accepted it as one of his little quirks, but I’m glad this didn’t to him. It would have ended badly for a lot of people.

Re: Deranged Karen in the video at the link in Post 11.

At the very end, as she walks back to her vehicle, you can see the tattoo on the left side of her neck.

Tattoos on a woman are battle scars from her war with sanity. The more the scars, the more she's losing. With her age, she's been losing for decades.

One interesting observation, this time Blacks are not showing up to protest in Minneapolis unlike 2020 when they showed up for George Floyd.
