Minnesota National Guard came under fire early Sunday morning after a gunman opened fire on the troops as they were providing neighborhood security.

According to a series of tweets, Minnesota National Guard troops found themselves in an active war zone as an occupant in a light-colored SUV opened fire, injuring two soldiers.

According to the MN National Guard Twitter page, a combined security team made up of Minnesota National Guard Soldiers and Minneapolis Police officers were providing neighborhood security around 4:19 am Sunday near Penn Avenue and Broadway in Minneapolis. According to the tweets, the light-colored SUV fired several shots at the Operation Safety Net security team.

This is what one can expect if one ventures into the Jordan neighborhood.

I am not critiquing their honorable service. I commented on the hyperbole. I did 3 wars in 20 years and I know what an active war zone is.

Try to use grace in your speech.

In the olden days before the “Peelers”(cops) local law enforcement was in the hands of the local sheriff and the local militia.

A person doesn’t “win” the Medal of Honor...

It is awarded...

Does anyone think that the shooter was just trying to “wing” ‘em, maybe get some attention? No. He, or she, was trying to kill someone. And they chose some National Guard troops as their target. What would they and we be saying if those troops had been shot dead? You won’t have to wait long to find out.

Violence and insanity are being ratcheted up incrementally, sounds like Maxime and her friends have reached the end of the quiet part. I do not think they have any concept of what they are doing, and what will happen next, needless to say.

Is it just my inmagination that Biden's short presidency so far - has "witnessed" so much violence?

I wonder what the ROE are for the National Guard in this mission.

If it’s not locked\loaded and able to return fire, then they are not protectors, they are targets.

an occupant in a light-colored SUV opened fire...around 4:19 am

Hmm...most likely a registered gun owner, member of the NRA, and White Supremacist. I mean, who else would be out bustin caps at 4:19am in that area?

[StAnDeliver]

Xiden is going to get the Kent State that they tried to pin on Trump.

NG is going to -- completely appropriately -- be on edge going forward.

Similar to the death of David McAtee -- who did shoot first. That got memory-holed because there was no live coverage, just body- and business-cams. There are 'journolists' on every block on Minnecrapolis now.

Their blood is all over Maxine Waters’ hands.

"My guess is they will never find the perp."

Unless they can set up a White supremacist militia member, how hard are they looking?

I don't think it's your imagination. It's happening like everyday now!

Military awards are typically described as 'won' by writers for some reason. Almost like the writer if they even read the citation couldn't fathom the idea that the award might have been earned.
Most idiotic sentence I ever read was describing an Infantryman that 'won' a Purple Heart.

“What color was this violent SUV? Was it a WHITE SUV?”

Everybody knows SUVs are driven by white soccer Moms. Who all carry AR47s snd AK15s.

[JBW1949]

Agree fully....

[JonPreston]

Their Spring offensive begins. Buckle up and get prepared.

[Magic Fingers]

It also happened daily last summer.

"I don't think it's your imagination. It's happening like everyday now!"

I know a lot of people here are boycotting Fox News, but the other day Tucker Carlson said that people in today's society are being forced to accept a rate of change unprecedented in history - not just technological change, but changes in morals, values, lifestyle, and in our understanding of our culture and our civilization.

This rate of change causes extreme stress, and the Biden administration has been accelerating it in so many ways - open borders; special favors for illegal aliens; LGBTQ madness; critical race theory in the schools, the government, even the military; censorship; court-packing; DC statehood; climate change; reparations; and a general demonization of our entire history and traditions.

When you add all of this to the stress caused by the CV pandemic and the shutdowns, you can expect vulnerable individuals to go over the edge.
