Hundreds of protesters against police violence shut down part of the Mall of America in Minnesota on Saturday, during the final weekend before Christmas as shoppers scrambled to buy gifts at one of the nation's largest shopping centers, a community group member said.

Demonstrators at the Mall of America shouted "Hands up, don't shoot!", referring to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Missouri, and "Black people can't breathe, while we're on our shopping sprees," referring to the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York.

Police made 12 arrests in the demonstration on private property at the Mall of America in the Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington, said Bloomington police spokesman Mark Stehlik.

... And now two NYC cops have been murdered in cold blood in part due to these agitators.

They’ve already had gang shootings at the Mall. Usual suspects. Maybe the protesters were just trying to create a little Christmas cheer by having a festive shooting during the protest.

Oh, gee, it happened in the Communist Republic of Minnesota?

I feel soooooo sorry for ‘em.

I have visited that Mall—it is a pretty cool place. But hey, Minnesota—see what kind of society you’ve helped create with your liberal politics?

Even Hubert Humphrey wasn’t that stupid.

Back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s this sort of black racist uprising and mall mob swarming led to one of the major and most popular shopping malls in the city of Tampa to close down and go out of business.
