In Minnesota, the Manufacture of Unwitting Marxist Martyrs
American Thinker ^ | John F. Di Leo

Posted on 01/10/2026 1:32:23 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Normal people, when they see a police bust taking place, either leave the area or step back to watch from a safe distance. Whether it’s a mass arrest of a flash mob at a retail store, or police breaking up a late night brawl at a bar...

But these activists, for nearly a year now, have often been getting close to the operations, as close as they can. We see them blowing whistles to warn criminals of the police presence. We see them jeering the agents, even throwing rocks or other projectiles at them, or just getting in their faces, trying to provoke a response.

...

In normal times, this would be recognized as insanity.

No matter whether you’re from a good law-abiding family or a mafia neighborhood, you are taught from childhood to always be deferential to law enforcement officers. Always.

...

But something has changed in recent years. As the BLM riots and the 1% riots -- and the Antifa riots and the George Floyd riots -- all spread and normalized violent demonstrations, the Left started giving their activist members a new kind of marching order:

The Left is now ordering its members to act up, to push the envelope with ICE and other forms of law enforcement. These foot soldiers of the radical Left aren’t thinking of blowing whistles and throwing hands, and blocking the street with their cars, all by themselves; they are following the precise instructions of their activist leadership.

...

[...] the Left doesn’t really care about the safety of their own members (if they did, they wouldn’t have spent the past sixty years doing everything possible to stop the incarceration of street criminals). What they care about is disruption. Destruction. Lawlessness.

The leadership of the Left knows exactly what it is doing. Their goal is to bring down the government, get rid of the Constitution, and install Marxism.

The protestors are their Brownshirts, plain and simple.

Perhaps we need to start upping the ante for obstruction of police business. See where they set up and just swarm them and arrest all of them.

Are you saying we should follow the left and do what they do?

Perhaps use their own tactics against them? That’s what I was getting at.

DataRepublican has an excellent analysis of the Left cabal today.

Leftist politicians are the blame - just a couple weeks ago, the twink mayor if Minneapolis was threatening ICE agents.
All the Dem actions embolden the nutcases ... but normal people no longer have any sympathy for when one “martyrs” him/her self.

Yes.
Violent obstruction of law enforcement is a felony.
Lock them up, all!

I see protesters trying to gain access to ICE agents by breaking down the front doors at a hotel and I also see how they're probably not really thinking about their Martyr of the Week as they line the streets and scream and shout and make their insane rackets for all to hear. It's all about them.

“The leadership of the Left knows exactly what it is doing. Their goal is to bring down the government, get rid of the Constitution, and install Marxism.”

Perhaps for the long-term.

But for the moment this is all about the mid-terms, and Democrats regaining power.

No matter who has to die for the cause.

Individuals who have given themselves to destructive friends / collectives may pay a price, may lose their life.

The jig in Minnesota is up. The mechanism for corruptly stealing taxpayer funds has been nakedly exposed.

All stops must be pulled to create a diversion of attention to ICE and the Somali patsy’s from the Minnesota Democrat theft industry

The Minnesota Governor and the Minneapolis Mayor are both acting recklessly to avoid prison

It is hard to see that as a winning strategy.

It would only further delegitimatize legal authority.

Perhaps you could get a bunch of conservatives to to surround and harass the harassers, but that likely result in a riot.

Also I think it would be hard to come up with enough conservatives to man such an effort. We have jobs that occupy our time.
