Disturbing racially motivated beatings/robberies happening in Ilhan Omar's district

[Cynic]

Are you calling the Minnesota Police liars? The title was plural and about the entire article, as was my comments on it.

I understand the video scares you. It will be OK.

[WildRose]

In how many of these robberies was the subject targeted for a prolonged , sustained, absolutely brutal stomping and beating by a group of a dozen or more individuals?

[WildRose]

The police didn’t make the claim, you did.

@WildRose

The police didn’t make the claim, you did.

Yes they did

According to a report provided by Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder

Considering it is a quote, it is inherently not my claim

Now go run and hide like usual. Took me a minute to find:

14 GOP Governors Sending National Guard Troops and Resources to Texas to...

The most graphic of the incidents took place on August 3 near Target Field where an intoxicated male was repeatedly punched, kicked, and even run over by a bike. They stripped the victim of his pants in broad daylight while one suspect threw a potted plant at his head and another robbed him of his wallet.

The same group of men were involved in at least two other robberies in the same area. Their strategy was to target drunken men and rob them of their wallets and cellphones—a crime that carries a high sentence and a low payoff.

I read it. If you can make your case do so.

I read it too. Where does it say anything about race? If you can make your case do so

Yes, it’s what the link that provides the video says.

Not to anyone who has either read the story or watched the video.

Quote it.

Still waiting.

Indeed.

@CanadianJudo

and she is somehow responsible for it?

when someone is murder in Texas do you link Ted Cruz to it

If a similar thing happened with a gang of white hoodlums attacking a black victim, would you be shocked to see someone post: Trump’s America?

[DougBH]

@CanadianJudo

I don’t think robber care about the race of the their victim.

Robbers don’t go back and gratuitously stomp on their victim’s for the fun of it. This was more than robbery.

[CanadianJudo]

Iv made that mistake once, I don’t think id do it again.

@DougBH

Robbers don’t go back and gratuitously stomp on their victim’s for the fun of it

That’s exactly what they were doing

[Cynic]

And people who commit hate crimes don’t typically steal wallets and smartphones.

@Eagle-Keeper

There has been a number of mob beatings happening in Minneapolis. Some very disturbing assaults, a number of them happening in broad daylight! These are some really sick people here.

What’s your point?

[Plasmaball]

Why would we have to imagine? It happened…

Once again here we are with this garbage.

[Eagle-Keeper]

@Cynic

Read the link for gods sake, I am not holding your hand.

There is no proof that all the victims involved were intoxicated, especially with the incidents in broad daylight. You don’t think it’s likely that the author is simply a pushing a different narrative?

[Cynic]

I linked an alternate source that confirms it.

@DougBH

Alright. Now imagine a video like that but the thugs were white and the victim was black.

Well, then it would actually matter. lol

[SixFoot]

Why is Gamora!!!

@Sknyluv

@DougBH

Alright. Now imagine a video like that but the thugs were white and the victim was black. Would that also be a local news thing?
It will be interesting to see if this winds up on the front page of CNN, MSNBC.

If it was a robbery? Probably not. If it was racially motivated, then probably yes.

I love these, “What if it were white people doing this to black people.” hypothetical questions. Of course it would be different. You just can’t ignore hundreds of years of racism and be like, “I wonder why this is different for white people?” Get a clue.

Oh bull ■■■■■ It would be “racially motivated” whether it was racially motivated or not.
