Rebecca Brannon describes herself as an independent photojournalist covering Minnesota politics, protests, and riots. Rebecca has the nerve to do much of her reporting from the inside. If I have the chronology right, Rebecca got inside the “two hour black bloc Antifa protest” on Lake Street in Minneapolis, and the perpetrators are not happy about it. They don’t really want the exposure.
Say this for the Star Tribune. The paper’s nonfeasance is appreciated. Indeed, the Star Tribune’s nonfeasance is a critical component of the bizarre hellworld that Minneapolis has become.
Below I have compiled Rebecca’s tweets on Friday night’s “protest” in chronological order, I think. Drawing on Rebecca’s tweets, Alpha News covered Friday night’s festivities here. FOX9 covered it here. Apart from the Star Tribune, a few other local outlets provided coverage as well.
As the lady said in Death of a Salesman, attention must be paid. In homage to Arthur Miller, this might be called the death of a city. Trigger warning: If you get your news from the Star Tribune, this may come as a shock.
From a twatter post: “Minneapolis black bloc Antifa graffitied numerous businesses and set barricades in the streets for nearly two hours tonight all down Lake Sreet from 35W and in Uptown.”
Yet they are the terrorists, if we are to believe the government controlled media.
The video is mind-blowing. The gal (what a plucky chick she is!) followed them for two hours and no one interfered. Cops may have been watching from a helicopter.
I am definitely watching the whole thing later.
Insurrection!
These rioters intentionally blocked traffic for two hours. And that seems to be OK. Protected groups get a pass.
Great work by a brave lady.
Damn those Truckers!
After she started posting her videos they start threatening her and whining, saying she is a “stalker” and “creating a narrative” - by videoing their activity/rioting without commentary!! What a bunch of pussies.
Worthless kids with paint cans.
Pathetic really.
The blogger surmises this is Minneapolis going down.
Their vandalism is mindless. If you are mad at the cops, then fight with the cops at their stations/vehicles and take your chances. What does shattering the glass of a bus stop enclosure or store window accomplish?
Press boys know better - they’re flat out lying.
As. usual, the RedStar Tribune had zero reporting on this.
Pathetic, yes, but the police let them run wild and destroy the cities where they operate. Don’t underestimate the power of such vermin to undermine society. Just look at the 1920s Berlin, Germany.
Paid Antifa and BLM thugs were given walking around money, free masks, pallets of weapons and 'homemade' protest signs. In short it was a group of paid thugs burning down cities. The corrupt press gave BLM thugs a pass because white liberal 'elites' were paying for the anarchy.
I don’t know much about Minneapolis but I did change planes there a few years ago and during the layover observed that maybe half of the airport employees wore Muslim attire - they were everywhere. I was told that Minneapolis has a huge population of Somalians deliberately settled there by Obama. Would that have anything to do with the riots and mayhem going on in that city???
I think the immigrants from Somalia are more related to leftist church groups 20 years before Obama than Obama himself.
Minnesota is a great state when you are outside of the twin Cities but dang the politics is still Hubert Humphrey.
The Somalis don’t seem to be involved much. It is more the BLM crowd, white anarchists/commies and opportunistic looters.
