“MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The intersection in south Minneapolis where George Floyd died in police custody on May 25 has become a quasi-religious shrine. It is a shrine not just to Floyd, who is honored here as if he were a saint or a martyr, but to the political power of the Black Lives Matter movement and the ascendency of the radical left in this city.”

“The intersection and the neighborhood around it have been “occupied” for months now. To get to the memorial—or “George Square,” as it’s now called—you must approach on foot. For a block in every direction, the streets are closed to traffic, barricaded by concrete roadblocks and makeshift chevaux de frise. Behind the roadblocks, plywood shields are stacked up next to a tent and an outhouse.”

“Update (2338ET): Following an appearance on Fox News' "Hannity," James O'Keefe released a second ballot-harvesting video featuring an apparent purchase of a ballot from a Somali resident of Minnesota.”

While some of this is old news, Minneapolis does not seem any safer today than it was in June. Enjoy the videos.

“Even before last night’s destruction and looting, a number of downtown businesses had been re-thinking their future in the city. WCCO spoke with some of them today about the damage they endured and their futures moving forward.”

The Minneapolis Star and Tribune kindly decided not to put this behind a paywall for me so I hope you all can see these maps.

"The Hennepin County Medical Examiner believed George Floyd had a “fatal level of fentanyl” in his body, according to court documents filed Tuesday in relation to the case against the four Minneapolis police officers charged in his death."

"Sen. Kamala Harris once promoted the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), a George Soros-affiliated charity designed to post bail for arrested criminals and rioters."

Thanks, Alpha News.

“Gov. Tim Walz said Friday that he has appealed the Trump administration’s decision to deny a request for federal financial assistance to help Minneapolis rebuild from rioting.”

“The Minneapolis Downtown Council business association is trying to get a message to City Hall: the rhetoric about dismantling the police force has already killed some real estate deals and has many downtown companies now looking to move to the suburbs.”

Not very Good news. Thank you, Center of the American Experiment.
