Minnesota: Black Lives Matter Shuts Down I-94 in St. Paul
Breitbart ^ | 09/23/2020 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 09/24/2020 6:39:26 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Black Lives Matter protesters walked onto I-94 in St. Paul, Minnesota, to obstruct highway traffic on Wednesday evening. A local Fox affiliate reported that authorities “blocked off traffic in the area” where the protesting crowd entered the interstate.

“About 400 people were marching to protest the lack of more serious charges against officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death,” according to the Star Tribune, which also reported that police and state patrol “made no move to stop or arrest protesters.”

Time to charge the leaders of BLM and antifa with the RICO act. This needs to end and end now. . Let them rot in a federal pen somewhere for 30 to life and think about what they did.

This needs to be shut down. I'm getting tired of seeing protests riots every time a legal decision does not favor the mob. Either we have laws or not. And it is really ridiculous to have a protest riot in Minnesota when the Breonna Taylor case occurred in Kentucky.

There are places to gather to protest without getting in the way of your neighbors who have to go to work or other commitments. The fools that approved this need to be fired for incompetence.

The Mafia didn’t shut down cities and destroy businesses yet they were prosecuted under RICO charges.

They’re all part of the Soros/Slim/obama shadow government. Cut the head of THAT and this snake will die a quick death.
Why Wray and his ilk are still running the FBI is beyond me. He and his ilk should have been purged a loonnnggg time ago.

I fail to see how the right to assembly to address concerns about the government extends to someone stopping me from my right to do travel, business, assemble or speech. That is what is going on here. Where they do violence, they are also abrogating my basic civil rights guaranteed by the 14th amendment.

Logic and reason has nothing to do with this. But, nice try...

I’m beginning to suspect the swamp is behind all of this and they are flexing their muscles and showing trump THAT they are the ones in charge no matter what! Hang on because it’s only gonna get worse if the American people do not take a stand! And the way things have been going south lately I don’t think we have a backbone to defend our country anymore! God help us because evil is tangible!

Either we have laws or not.

**************

Right now we clearly have a MOB RULE situation in this country. They have taken over nearly every major American city and are seemingly immune to prosecution.

We have tons of laws on the books but they are selectively enforced and/or ignored.

I am fearful this has reached the point of no return. When elected, and appointed officials, and jurists all begin bending to threats or even just their belief the playing field is not level between people who have no difference except skin tone, they are igniting a full blown race war simply because there are no rules except the rule of force.

Start rounding up these highway blockers, arrest them, charge them, prosecute them, and invite members of the public who were delayed by the highway blocks to launch civil suits against them.

Bet this nonsense will stop in a hurry.

Mow them down with cables, like what Rick and Michonne did to all those zombies on The Walking Dead.

“Black Lives Matter protesters walked onto I-94 in St. Paul, Minnesota”

It’s only a matter of time before some nut in a dump truck or semi rams through one of those protest blocking a major highway and kills a bunch of folks.

Meh... Only 2 arrests, no looting, no fires, no gunfire.

Pretty weak.

C’mon Twin Cities! You can surely do better than that!

Actually, no. If there is a semi heading interstate stopped due to the protestors (almost a certainty), charge *all* of the ones getting violent or uttering threats with violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1951, interference with commerce by threats or violence. Up to twenty years in a federal pen. Per offense.
