Wheelchair-bound woman is beaten and sprayed with a fire extinguisher by looters who accuse her of wielding a knife 'while trying to stop them ransacking Target' in George Floyd riots in Minneapolis

A woman in a wheelchair was punched in the head and sprayed with a fire extinguisher after trying to block protesters - allegedly with a knife in her hand - during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis last night. The woman claimed she was 'peacefully protesting' to stop people from looting a Target store, but she was quickly set upon by a crowd who subdued her in angry scenes on the second night of violence in the city. The crowd outside the Target store shouted that the woman had a knife, and footage showed her holding what appeared to be a sharp object. Named online as Jennifer, she later said she had been 'punched in the head several times' before others tried to restrain her.

If there was ever a time to “stay home”, that was it.

Now that’s the ticket!

Grab a ballot, get over to the bench next to the bus stop, and give him the ballot. To make it even easier for him, fill it out and make an “X” where his signature would go.

We must help our our fellow resi9dents of the country; was going to say fellow citizens but that might not be the case, so...

We must be inclusive.

I understand your thinking on this, but she must have been following the news and had to know what was going on. She deliberately put herself in harm’s way.

LOL! I have nothing left. :)
Thank God he was wearing a mask. He was outdoors, with no one around, apparently, but he did the right thing. ;)

No kidding. She refused to stay home, so she wasn’t safe.

The important thing is he has on a proper mask.

To protect against the virus, or to conceal his identity? 😁🤪

And we are sending these animals stimulus checks! Looked like the antics contingent was there too so this is as much a riot of opportunity as a race thing. Unfortunately there were no Korean store owners there I guess because unlike the government they know what to do. Saw the newark riot in the 60s. State police ran out of buck shot and the national guard had to back them up with 30cal fire. After five days it ended with the armed rioters dead or in jail.

There are cases where cops would shoot people in wheelchairs who had knives.

“The woman must have been scared out of her wits, instinctively reaching for whatever protection she could find.”

Saw the video last night - she was trying to block a doorway at the store (Target, I think)so the looters couldn’t get through. A black woman punched her a couple of times but other looters told her to stop and she did.
I don’t know if the women had a knife or anything and have no idea what she was trying to accomplish in the middle of all that.

While the majority of looters were black, white people were looting too.

I saw a lot of young white people and old white hippies doing the protesting, while the other tribe was looting.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Stal what you can, when you can.

Boy, the Democrat welfare system has created an underclass that feels they are entitled to loot, steal and burn when upset. Seems like this is only seen in the Black community.

So, are the good citizens of the state going to allow this looting to continue. Or will they offer their armed services to stop it?
