Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey will seek state and federal aid to rebuild city structures following over a week of looting and rioting, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Friday.

Some 220 buildings have been damaged and require at least $55 million in repairs, the city’s Community Planning & Economic Development department said earlier this week, noting that the city was “not yet ready to produce a credible estimate.” City Council members warned that the costs will likely be far higher, while Mayor Frey said damages could reach into the “hundreds of millions.”

These people are basically the government equivalent of that wounded Antifa fighter in that video, who, when the tourniquet was tightened around his leg, screamed at the top of his lungs. They’re just. Not. Worth. It.

“The idiot did very little to stop the rioting”

What little was that?

He could’ve stopped it. He did nothing. He’s looking for federal money? My tax money?

Nothing doing.

No taxpayer money to pay for rioters damage, none!!

If Insurance won’t pay, then they are out of business. Sad, but that’s the way it must be!!

He received exactly what he has begged for since assuming office. The Feds and the state should tell him to hit the road!

His own police department caused it, and he did zip to try to stop it with his own police department.

"The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No.""

"They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father or President Truman. Decent men who believed in a day's work for a day's pay. Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don't tell me they didn't have a choice."

"Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody Hell, all those liberals and intellectuals and smooth-talkers... and all of a sudden nobody can think of anything to say."
Rorschach – from The Watchmen

Looting us in the streets. Looting us in CONgre$$. The price tag on both is not calculable.

It seems important that state and local voters bear the entire cost in order to learn the value of the choices they make at the ballot box.

Shifting the burden to taxpayers of other states is no different than a parent disciplining only innocent family children for the misbehavior of a single child.
