If we’re going to keep pretending that what’s happening in Minneapolis right now is simply “unrest” rather than outright violent chaos threatening to hold this country hostage, President Trump might as well hand the rest of his term over to Gavin Newsom. There’s no point left.
A second person in Minneapolis was shot this week while ICE was carrying out a law enforcement operation — you know, the most fundamental thing Americans expect of their government — and the city is spiraling further into mayhem. The guy who was shot is a suspected illegal alien from Venezuela, according to the Department of Homeland Security, and he was wounded Wednesday only after he fled from arrest, first by car, crashing into another vehicle, and subsequently by foot. Then he — along with two other individuals — used a shovel and broomstick to attack one of the officials attempting to make the arrest.
For this, locals, encouraged by their elected Democrat leaders, are taking to the streets, getting in the faces of police and federal agents, doing everything they can to disrupt and thwart law enforcement operations. Asked Wednesday night on CNN about “neighbors” involved in the incident using weapons to interfere with law enforcement, Democrat state Sen. Bobby Champion said it wouldn’t change his perspective of the shooting: “Actually, no, right? Because from our vantage point, we wanted to make sure, and always wanted to make sure, that Minnesotans are being dealt with properly.”
In other words, Champion was telling his constituents to take matters into their own hands against law enforcement.
Innocent people are going to end up dead because some illegal alien floors it in a truck down a busy road trying to evade police with the help of raging Democrats interfering with arrests. One more time for the people in the back: Resisting law enforcement is an act of violence. It endangers not only the officers engaging the suspect, but anyone else in the vicinity. Aiding the resistance is no less dangerous, and thus an equal act of violence.
The only conclusion, then, is for the administration to treat the activity in Minneapolis as what it is — a violent insurrection. Public safety demands it.
