Yeah, I don't know (as in, 'I REALLY don't know'). I tend to not believe the 4D chess thing; however, I also think he's neither as smart/competent nor as stupid/incompetent as media of all stripes portray. I DO tend to believe that his and his opposition's PSYOPS game is strong...

There's a difference between the loss of constitutional rights/being turned into a serf vs what were seeing in MN. Not a boog boy, but the people that showed up with rifles in VA and in CV-19 lockdowns were Americans seeing freedoms and livelihoods being stripped away.
If anything, the riots going on in Minneapolis are going to steel the average citizen that local and big govt aren't gonna protect them. If anything people are gonna be more passionate about protecting their second amendment rights after this.
VA had zero to do with III %er's. Lobby Day takes place every year. This year just got a lot more media coverage and therefore a larger turnout. Of which 100% of it was peaceful and the grounds were returned in better shape than beforehand. Nothing about the riots in Minneapolis are peaceful.

I had a friend basically yell at me for 30 mins on how The Whites who protested in Michigan about Lockdown were treated with kid gloves. Compared to how The POC are being treated with them protesting another murder. I tried to point out The Michigan ones were armed and it was peaceful. Went completely over her head and she said I was a racist.

Actual example of inciting violence?

So yeah, this happened:
Also, who's putting the riots down? You guys can say what you want about "being out" but you can't just let this thing go on for weeks. There's already been a precinct over-run.
Dude was fired less than 24 hours after the event. FBI took over the investigation almost immediately. That's about as swift of a justice train as a land of laws has.

Gov. Walz says he talked to @realDonaldTrump last night by phone and told him the state would be taking control of law enforcement situation. But says the president’s tweets “were not helpful.” Among other things, the president tweeted “when looting starts the shooting starts.”

Gen. Jensen (MN National Guard) says they were finally given a “law and order” mission early this morning when they helped clear the Third Precinct area in Mpls.

I cannot tell you how infuriated I am in listening to him and Frey speak.
I'm more pissed about the complete lack.of leadership and utter incompetence across the board than I am with the looters. How can any of these clowns remain in their positions. We're 4 days into this and they're just now putting together plans. They have no answers or clues on the most fundamental, day 1, week 1 type things. They are clearly in way over their heads.
The looting/shooting tweet was dumb, but true. They are rioting, looting and shooting each other.
@amlove21 I'd have no issue using less lethal against RIOTERS, these are not peaceful protestors, toss molotov cocktails at me and I'd respond with lethal force.
Gun sales go up nationwide as folks once again realize the cops are not going to protect them.
Finally, what is alleged forgery? (serious question)

And then there's this.
Ilhan Omar's daughter shows support on Twitter for antifa group organizing riots in Minneapolis
This is conspiracy'ish but I'm honestly curious about outside actors, inciting or funding groups behind some of the rioting. Given other plays around the world, it would not surprise me if there was connections to the CCP trying to make this worse.

My understanding is that he tried to pass a bad check.
It was a suspected Fake $20
