Chaos erupted in Minneapolis Wednesday night, with people looting and rioting following the death of George Lloyd, a black man who was killed by a white police officer.
Two men decided to utilize their Second Amendment rights to prevent people from looting nearby stores.
"Basically, you've seen the records the cops keep and the cops are a lot less likely to tread on people's rights when there's other armed Americans with them. So we figured it's about damn time – or at least I figure it's about damn time – for some heavily armed rednecks stood with fellow citizens," the one man explained.
The two men were asked why they were protecting the particular businesses they were in front of. They said they had been patrolling businesses nearby and ended up in that parking lot because the smoke shop was closed but the owners were having the defend their business.

Where were the Koreans?
It’s the fault of the organization that hired that ‘officer’
How does a murderous lunatic like that get on the police force?
Armed Patriots can’t be everywhere. For those businesses that can’t be protected thus, maybe they should make signs that say “Work Boots” or “Bookstore” over their current signs.
The article states this as if it were fact.
We do not know if it is true.
I have been told, on the video, a bystander yells at a police officer: "Put him in the car!" The officer replies: "We just spent 10 minutes trying to do that!"
If there were several minutes of active, violent resistance by the suspect before he is held on the ground, there are many possibilities for his death, other than being killed by a police officer.
Regardless, the business owners that got burned out didn't have anything to do with it.
Rioters who loot and pillage businesses should get shot.
I wish more looters would get shot. Might change their mind before the game starts.

I guess armed rednecks have bo property rights.
“How does a murderous lunatic like that get on the police force?”
Any organization is as bad as the worst psycho they tolerate in their ranks.

The few photos I saw showed just as many blacks with guns standing in front of their businesses.

I think you’re referring to excited delirium. This doesn’t seem to fit that — a guy sitting in his car preparing to commit forgery isn’t exhibiting ED.
“I have been told, on the video...“
Try watching it for yourself.
This was cold blooded murder.
Period.

Oh just stop.
Some people on FR will twist themselves into knots to bulls*it themselves.
Please go ahead and regal us as to how else this guy in handcuffs died while on the ground other than his neck being crushed by the guy on-camera holding his knee there for several minutes.
Why? Minneapolis, the city that elected Omar, deserves to be looted and burned. No to mention the legal jeopardy they put themselves into.
What dopes.
Were the rioters regular Amish or Somali Amish?
You are right.
But that creep ought to go to jail forever...and bystanders are guilty too
