Check Out These Minneapolis Idiots in Palestinian Scarfs

 It can be embarrassing to tell other Conservatives outside Minnesota that, “I’m from Minnesota.”  They know that Minnesota is famous for its Blue, progressive politics and for electing a Muslim woman to Congress.  We also have a very large population of Muslims in Minneapolis in an area that some call “Little Mogadishu”.

So of course the Minneapolis City Council is far, far, left.  The more bizarre, trans, queer, non-binary, gay or lesbian you are, the better chance you have for being elected. Cisgender white men can stay away!

So of course that same city council wanted to show solidarity with college students who damaged the U of M during pro-Palestinian protests.  But sanity took over in a small way and they didn’t have enough votes to pardon the vandals.

Where were these college kids on October 8, 2023 when the Palestinians went into Israel and murdered and raped 1200 Jews?  Where were the protests then?

The Minneapolis City Council was unable to muster enough votes Thursday to override Mayor Jacob Frey’s veto of its resolution urging authorities to back off of discipline and charges against people involved in an Oct. 21 protest at the University of Minnesota opposing the Israel-Hamas war.

Nine votes were needed to override Frey’s veto, but the vote was 7-6 in favor — not enough to overturn the resolution, which expressed solidarity with “nonviolent campus activism opposing war and supporting Palestinian human rights.”

The university has disputed that the protest at Morrill Hall was nonviolent, saying protesters spray-painted security cameras, broke interior windows and barricaded exits, trapping staffers for “an extended period of time.” University police and Hennepin County sheriff’s deputies arrested 11 protesters.

The university said the protesters caused over $67,000 in damage to doorways, walls and flooring; violated multiple university polices; and caused emotional harm to employees as they piled up furniture and copy machines to prevent workers from leaving.
