And just like that Minnesota cancels it's protests

[malaise]

Eff this shit

[Ocelot II]

1. The State Patrol is asking people not to attend, AFAIK the organizers haven't cancelled.

People are already gathering. I'm going. If necessary I'll head for Wisconsin.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Maybe that was one of the goals.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Gov. Walz is a smart fellow and a good man.

Understand your POV, but the pols are putting public safety over politics.

Once the SOB is apprehended or "neutralized," Minnesotans will make clear how they feel.

I blame Thomas, Alito and their brethren including Scalia and Rehnquist -- gunhumpers paid for by the NRA and Semion Mogilevich's worker bees all around the global mafiya.

4. One was cancelled, another is still on

The Northeast Minneapolis No Kings protest planned for Saturday has been cancelled amid a shelter-in-place alert. Another event in St. Paul appears to still be happening.

5. The state patrol wants people to stay away fron the state house

Other protests are already going on around the state.

[Ocelot II]

6. I'm heading over that way shortly, or maybe I'll stop at the one at Highland Park.

I can't imagine that the perp would attack one of these gatherings if he's trying to get away.

7. In other words

They haven’t caught the shooter, yet.

[FarPoint]

8. Well...there is an active shooter on the loose.

We will have more opportunity to protest there.... Safety first.....

Protesters will be even bigger targets if protest not rescheduled...it's how I see it.

9. Thus allowing trump to benefit from an unspeakable tragedy involving Democrats.

What a shitty world we live in.

[milestogo]

10. Out of an abundance of caution.

There is a manhunt going on.

16. Police proactively checked her home

Listen to the police chief describe how they confronted Rep. Melissa Hortman’s killer at her home.

The killer was in police uniform and had what looked exactly like a police vehicle.

She was interviewed crying over her vote before she was murdered. She said people were very angry.
She looks like she was already scared.

Reported that they have a suspect -

11. Convenient??

How soon before the protests are cancelled nationwide? Sounds like a Bannon style attack.
I put nothing past the GQP and its treasonous media mouths. Trump will ride this horse to Martial Law and a complete takeover.
And just now a guest on Velshi, Former fed agent., threw out the both side extremism, Far Right and Far Left.
This trump cancer is now in the bone marrow, and we let it spread with firm letters and concern of attacks. I really feel it is stage 4 terminal. Equal branches are gone with congress DIW and fading with judiciary.
Watch for Graham to blame the victims for their views and actions.
The Fort Bragg KKKlan Jamboree, was a final straw for me.
My service has been shit on, as trump has on all of vets and actives, yet they cheer him on.
Fox needs deported. How many lives are they responsible for?
Is this Tarred and Feathered enough for Moses Mike and his Jeeheebus?
Will this murderer get the Rittenhouse fame and praise?
“Kill em ALL Graveyard Dead”? (Florida Sheriff)
Was that a threat or an order?
Great day for a parade of AmurKKKa and our freedoms and democracy. USA USA USA!
Have a great celebration MAGA, while these families have their innocent loved ones are being prepped in a morgue.
Pardon my rant. Sick of the country I served, volunteered with a draft number of 324, without the right to vote, but I went still.

12. Makes sense. Law enforcement is needed to find this whack job

Versus policing a rally.

[senseandsensibility]

13. I hate to say it malaise

but there is a killer on the loose who apparently had flyers about the NK protests in his fake police car. Law enforcement and local government could be liable if anyone else is killed by this monster unless they take steps to protect them. It's infuriating because that was the killer's goal, I think.

[womanofthehills]

19. I hate to say this too - not sure if it's true

But killer might have been an upset over her vote with Republicans to block healthcare for illegals.

Not official - but the accused killers name is being posted all over social media and if true it’s not good.

14. They may suspect a larger group targeting protesters

The picture released with the No Kings posters could have been planned to leave at the scenes of the shooters attacks. Whatever the reason, I trust Gov Waltz to make decisions based on everyone's safety.

[Mister Ed]

15. We are massed near the Capitol right now, and carrying on with the protest. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

17. You're in MN?

How's the turnout?

[Mister Ed]

20. Very high turnout.

I can't estimate right now while we're marching to the capitol grounds. I'll be better able to estimate once we're assembled there.

[Mister Ed]

21. It's huge.

We had 10,000+ on this spot last April. This crowd looks larger

[senseandsensibility]

22. Wow!

Impressive. I'm so glad that the tragedy this morning did not depress turnout and everything's peaceful!

[Ocelot II]

18. I've just arrived at the Highland Park location.

I don’t think my old knees can handle all the walking and standing of the Capitol event so I came here. People are already gathering. Not worried.
