Thursday Night Riot Thread

a reply to: shawmanfromny

I believe target closed a bunch of stores today, somewhere around 20, lots of malls and other business closed preemptively.

It's going to be a long weekend, I think they said there was 51 separate fires yesterday alone.

Now the neighboring city, st paul, is joining. I'm guessing by the end of the weekend the national guard will be out in full force and the cities would have lost hundreds of structures/business due to fire and a body count somewhere in the teens/low twenties.

The fire trucks have been pulled completely out now. So I guess TPTB have decided to just let it burn itself out.

It's a risk for fire fighters to go in without an escort, the escort(police, obviously) would agitate the rioters.

It's a tough call, a real no winner.

Either let it go on and hopefully fizzle out or..... go full on martial law/curfews/troops(guard) on the corner.

Livestream seems pretty quite.

Just burning some garbage and a lot of people chanting.

Anyone have another livestream(the one I posted seems to be around the 3rd) with anything else happening, please share.

NBC Seems to have some live on the ground coverage going.

If they want to know why things seem different, maybe they ought to look at how they express their anger ... look at the differences in anger expression. How many buildings have burned over the lockdowns when those have been protested? How many businesses have been looted?

Sorry, FOX has a panel and one of the ladies said her African-American callers wanted to know why the protesters in MI were treated so differently.

I see a repeat of Watts and Detroit happening with this.
We hit the boiling point, and she's bubbling over now.

I clicked a link on a live stream and it connects the police officer and the deceased as former security co-workers
WTF?????

I understand the anger and frustration. However burning down businesses is uncalled for.

a reply to: ZapBrannigan3030

I just turned it on. Something about cut gas lines, O2 tanks placed inside, and trying to blow up a building? What building?

Sounds like time to activate the National Guard if they're attempting to blow up a building like that.

Edit to add: Am I understanding that the building is a police station!?

It's either a tobacco shop I think I heard a bakery.

I'm wondering if during the day a lot of these business' in "the hot zone" pulled out and made preparations(like cutting gas service).

Rioters have been throwing propane tanks into some of the structure fires.

a reply to: cmdrkeenkid

The police station was set on fire too and I heard they were throwing tanks in that as well.

The station was seemingly abandoned well prior to the breach, wisely I might add. I'm guessing they took all the arms and gear out knowing it would be heavily targeted tonight.

They're taking advantage of this tragedy to unlawfully enrich themselves

Hopefully that NBC reporter minds what he says.
I don't think he knows he's rolling live right now

Perfect atmosphere for infection

Can't even see, both sides being played/tricked...

There is no known cure for The Dumbazz. You are right it being the perfect atmosphere to spread.
I just heard that the infected have now driven cars into the Mall of America. That place is huge and will make an impressive fire. No justice no peas.

This is some crazy stuff. As far as I know we've got protests and/or riots in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Columbus, Denver, LA, Memphis, NYC and Louisville. Just watched them overrun the police precint, loot it, then set it on fire. Unreal.

You have a link for that, I know they closed the MOA down, I'd think that they would have that blocked off pretty well.

If that baby goes up......damn. That's a huge amount of damage(cost).

a reply to: ZapBrannigan3030

No link. I saw some people on the Unicorn Riot live cast, just a few minutes ago, say that with glee and apparently head toward the mall.

Guy they interviewed on the original stream is flashing a handgun.

It's a chaotic scene, take some time to sort out tomorrow, but sadly you can't trust the media to actually report anything.

I'm guessing a few more dead tonight, I think friday and saturday will still be the most destructive events which may cause the local government to have no choice but to lockdown the city with national guard.
