Incessant Fireworks Keeping Minneapolis Residents On Edge Amid Gun Violence Boom

During a time when gun violence is becoming more common across Minneapolis, the consistent sound of fireworks is increasing fear and anxiety. It’s not just the frequency or time that is a concern for some neighborhoods. It’s trying to determine if it’s actually fireworks they’re hearing. As Judy Christian wrapped up some yard work outside her north Minneapolis home, she knew the calm currently on her block would not last long. “It’s more steady, it’s louder, every night,” Christian said.

It's a plot by soros to drive liberal pukes out of these sewers into decent cities.

We're watching Tulsa descend into the liberal cesspool as we speak. Tulsa county commissioners recently ruled Tulsa county will no longer cooperate with ICE.

And every bit of this is because liberal pukes from kalifornia, orygone, etc, have flooded into civilization.

This is really good news. We understand human nature. The BLM culture is going to destroy middle class communities. It’s going to be an ugly process, but at some point, there’s going to be a conservative backlash...

They not only vote for it, they also subsidize it through taxes that pay for disasterous policies and irresponsible politicians.

I had a layover in Minneapolis about a year ago. The airport looked like a foreign country inside. It was surreal.

Also happening in NYC. Probably other places too. Not a coincidence, and not just patriotic celebrations.

When I was in high school/college it was a big deal to drive to “the cities” and do some shopping, sight seeing, look at the big buildings, go out to eat, etc..40 years later I wouldn’t drive into that cesspool. One wrong turn and you’re in Somalia, besides, not one cent of my money is going into that economy. Sad...once was a great place, now it’s no better than a slum.

I agree, it is no coincidence. It is obviously part of a larger plan for causing chaos all year long. I read that the reports of fireworks are up 10x over this time last year.

I think we all knew the left was going to pull dirty tricks to try to defeat Trump in 2020, but I don’t think any of us were prepared for all this.

And where are they getting the fireworks? The Chinese, always ready to break the law and have absolutely no regard for how their goods are to be used. Just give ‘em the money!

I love the excitement of setting off fireworks.

I’ve said before that it’s too bad that fireworks have been all but banned. If they were available perhaps the thugs would be throwing cherry bombs at each other rather than shooting them.

This is happening in several cities, it’s used to distress the people so they will give in to the demands of the left.

If you give in they will continue....

This is happening across the nation. It was happening in my community..

About three night ago it ended. The last night it went on from 20:20 until
00:15.

Just a long session of booms on and on and on. With rioting in places not
too distant, you couldn’t help but wonder if something was going on.

You could hear it for miles in every direction.

Here it seemed as if they had loud cars and motorcycles.passing through frequently as part of the disruption.

Sure enough, when the fireworks stopped so did the vehicles.

Someone was spending a ton of money.

Why doesn’t someone follow the money trail?
