St. Paul mayor says arrested protesters were from out of state
The Hill ^ | 05 30 2020 | Tal Axelrod

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter (D) said Saturday that all of the protesters who were arrested in his city the previous night were from out of state as demonstrations in and around Minneapolis over George Floyd’s death descended into violence.

Carter said there was not a high number of arrests in St. Paul on Friday night due in part to a curfew, but suggested that out-of-staters were behind much of the agitation fueling the violence.

“Because we had a relative stillness in St. Paul, we didn’t make an enormous number of arrests, but every single person we arrested last night, I’m told, was from out of state. What we are seeing right now is a group of people who are not from here,” Carter said at a press conference.

“As I talk to my friends who have been in this movement for a very long time, who wake up in this movement every day and I ask them what they’re seeing, what they’re feeling, what they’re hearing, to a person, I hear them say ‘we don’t know these folks. We don’t know these folks who are agitating, we don’t know these folks who are inciting violence, we don’t know these folks who are first in to break a window.’”

What better means for Soros and other anti-American entities to use to give them “cover” for inserting COMMUNIST sponsored TERRORISTS into large American cities to destroy the CAPITALIST system that supports them.

These riots are professional operations. Much of the funding of which is international (guess who?).

Comments to the article are vile, implying that Trump is behind the agitators. So, placate these commenters and shoot them all. Then sort out their politics later.

They will be let go, no bail, own recognizance, and disappear, never to be seen again.

Or to be seen again tonight, breaking more windows.

They were the local lowlifes. About midnight Central time on Fox News they did a closeup of a guy carrying 2 cases of booze out of a gutted liquor store. They got a clear image of him and his MN license plate. This is one creep who should be charged.

OOPS, sorry about the double post.
But maybe it bears repeating.

Dark, outside forces are definitely responsible for planning, inciting, supplying with weaponry and agitators, etc., but there are plenty of participants in these riots that are from the area.

Should have been the recipient of a drone strike a long time ago, along with anyone who continues to carry out his terrorism. When you finance riots, you are financing terrorism.

Joy Reed is spewing out that ‘white supreamist’ have infiltrated ‘peaceful’ protests of the mourning black community and that they are the ones, not the blacks causing all the trouble. Yeh, right, just watch the videos. It Is ‘black lives matter’, Antifa, moveon.Org... George Soros is probably footing the bill. What a bunch of crap this all is. I wonder when the people will have had enough and really give them something to cry about.

“”””””Are they using this funding to bail out white supremacists? Follow the money.””””””””””

This morning our idiot governor said a lot of these out of towners are white supremacists. Sure, whatever.

Just dawned on me watching these videos that the ones with backpacks are likely the outsiders.

By the way, where on Earth did that Minneapolis mayor come from? He looked and acted like Justin Trudeau, with even less testosterone. The guy acted like he was afraid of his own shadow and wanted to hide under the podium. He was the most pathetic liberal politician I’ve ever seen, and that includes even Obama. I didn’t think it was possible to go that low.

They are clearly Norwegian gangs form the area. Just look at all the lutefisk wrappers laying around.

I am sure the people who looted the targets and liquor stores which there is footage of are on planes today back to where they came from

Carrying a 65 inch flat screen thru airport security or baggage checkin must be a beeyoch for them.

Frey is from a Washington DC suburb. Pretty good marathon runner.

Surprisingly, he has been married twice, both to women.
