Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey is ordering city officials to begin a wide-ranging query of the damage done to the city’s infrastructure from the race riots that began last week after the death of George Floyd, planning on requesting a federal bailout for the city to repair the damages done by “protestors.”

Curiously, Frey seemed a lot less concerned about the economic and property damage impacts of the race riots when they were actually happening.

Even the Democratic Governor of Minnesota, who proved almost equally inept at preventing mass destruction and controlling the volatile situation, slammed Frey for his refusal to deter the large crowds of criminal rioters, calling the city’s response to the riots an “abject failure.” Frey rebuffed suggestions to deploy the Minnesota National Guard before caving and giving in.

The people of Minneapolis voted for these in charge clowns. Let them pay for these events. It is always good to get what you vote for.

“””””””””’Raise taxes on Minnesotans. Why make the rest of the country pay for it?””””””””””””

I’m only a few miles west of Minneapolistan. Why should I pay for the ghetto trash burning down their town? Raise taxes in Minneapolistan or just leave it in ruins.

I am going to do everything I can to NOT do business there again. I have a few suppliers left that I do business with but I will find those products elsewhere.

And no, they should not get a penny of federal money.

Translation : “We made mistakes. Costly mistakes due to our bad judgement but we want someone else to foot the bill”.

Partner, the citizens of Minnesota should pay for these Antifa anarchists, they did not want to stop the violence, looting and property damage that these Atifa thugs were the perpetrators.

I do not agree with premise of 'race riots.'. This is riot of and for the benefit of a particular race.

And the leftists, cucks and White Knights are in on the charade.

Get it from your Mommy and Daddy. Just like your college, car, food, rent that I’m sure you got while you were expected to, but didn’t, grow up.

Just disband the police department and use that money. You want to do that anyway. The entire state is a “no go” zone that way.

That might cover 1/2 of it. Ferguson redevelopment cost $80 million. Good to punch your ticket first before NYC and Hollyweird submit their dream budget.

To hell with this mayor. He let his city burn to the ground let him pay for the damages.

He’s another inept mayor like the clown in New York City.

Let them live with the mess the created.
