Democratic State House candidate suggests Minnesota suburb be burned down: 'I didn't come here to be peaceful'

John Thompson, a Democrat campaigning for State House in Minnesota, launched into a fiery diatribe during a Black Lives Matter protest outside the home of Minneapolis Police Federation President Bob Kroll on Saturday. During the vitriolic tirade, Thompson hinted that the town of Hugo be burned down, which is where Kroll lives.

The crowd outside Kroll's home were demanding his resignation, accusing him of "fostering a toxic culture within the Minneapolis Police Department," according to KSTP-TV.

One of the most blunt and unreserved speakers during the hours-long protest was Thompson, who won the Democratic primary for the Minnesota House of Representatives District 67A last week. Thompson, who is trying to represent the constituents of Eastside of St. Paul, set a hostile tone by stating, "I didn't come here to be peaceful."

Thompson said Kroll was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and even claimed he was the Grand Wizard.

"Why the f*** is we so peaceful in this [homophobic slur removed] neighborhood," Thompson shouted. "F*** your motherf***ing peace, white racist motherf***ers!"

One of the neighbors was holding a Blue Lives Matter flag and Thompson told him to "stick it up his a**."

Thompson suggested to the crowd that the entire town should be burned down. "This whole god***n state burned down for $20 goddamn dollars, you think we give a f*** about burning Hugo down?"

"Blue lives don't mean s*** to black people," Thompson said. "F*** Hugo, Minnesota!"

Activist Tuscon Morrison said, "Here in Hugo, Minnesota, I'm going to take a wild guess and take it you don't have to fear for your life as much as you do in Minneapolis with Bob Kroll and his gang of thugs hunting down black and brown bodies like they're getting paid for it because they are."

I’m in the process of fitting red dots to my tools.

Using a cartridge laser sight to zero the red dots in for twenty-five yards.

Excellent! One thing tho, since your mobility is limited, when you practice, simply adjust your method to be:

• Gain sight picture with red-dot from low-ready position.
• Take two shots.
• Lose sight picture and return to low-ready position.

I’ve gone to the 30 carbine because of loudness of the ARs.

I am mounting a green laser to accompany the red dot. I can shoot from low ready without the red dot by just painting the target with the laser.
