Judge blocks three Black Lives Matter leaders from Minnesota mall protest

MINNEAPOLIS

Three leaders of a loosely organized Black Lives Matter group have been barred from a protest planned for Wednesday at the Mall of America in suburban Minneapolis, a judge ruled.

The order, which does not extend to the group itself or to unnamed people, "should not be interpreted as authorizing or permitting others to engage in political demonstration at the Mall of America without the express permission of the Mall of America," Hennepin County Judge Karen Janisch wrote.

Black Lives Matter Minneapolis has said the protest over the fatal shooting of a black man by a Minneapolis police officer in November would go forward regardless of the judge's ruling.

The mall sought a restraining order after the group said last week it planned a return protest at the mall, where about 1,500 people protested last December over the deaths of black men in police-involved incidents in New York and Missouri. About two dozen people were arrested in that protest.

Last year's protest was the last Saturday before Christmas and Wednesday's is set for the last full shopping day before the holiday.

1. Private property, they have a right to do that and this is America, BLM has the right

to peacefully trespass and expect only to be peacefully arrested.

This is how it works, or is supposed to.

2. BLM has the right to peacefully trespass and expect only to be peacefully arrested. not on private

property.

[randys1]

3. So they should be beaten if they trespass at the mall?

Beaten or shot and killed, which do they deserve for peaceful trespass?

Do you know how the Vietnam war was stopped?

[saturnsring]

4. not beaten not shot not killed - they should be arrested and jailed or better yet find somewhere

else to protest - they have a right to bar anyone from their private property just as you do with your home. the mall doesn't have to even let them in just like you and your home. if they get in and peacefully protest then they will be peacefully (probably not) arrested and taken out. what you stated is what is SUPPOSED to happen isn't supposed to.

the war in nam ended because walter Cronkite turned against it and

5. Your attitude is duly noted as is your lack of historical knowledge.

[saturnsring]

6. mean historical knowledge as you see it?

im not against the blm but no one is entitled entry in any private space like your house or a mall or anywhere that isn't public space

[Coolest Ranger]

9. For someone who isn't against BLM

you sure are trying your hardest to justify why they should be arrested and beaten

[saturnsring]

10. if i wanted them beaten and arrested i would be FOR them storming their way into the mall and

raising hell which would bring the police and the beatings but that's not me.

No doubt, many believe that commercial property holds a greater value than what POC are forced to live through every day, regardless of whether we allege "that's not me" or any other rationalizations we may make to minimize BLM.

20. I've read your post three times and GENUINELY have no idea what point you're trying to make

or why you posted that picture in a discussion about the protesting tactics of Black Lives Matter.

[saturnsring]

22. i was asked if i knew what got us out of the vietnam war - andi replied with what i thought was one

of the reasons. I thought I was having a discussion about private property in general. I was told that I wasn't and to get out

[Coolest Ranger]

8. Just like the tea party has to be arrested when they do the same thing

[saturnsring]

11. I don't control that- it isnt right that the tea party groups are treated differently but

are there examples of tea party people going to someone's private property, where they were specifically told to stay away , protest and not get arrested.

[Coolest Ranger]

12. Did it ever occur to you to wonder why

they are treated different or are you too blind to see why they are treated differently

[saturnsring]

13. do YOU want them beaten and arrested? yea i know why but that doesnt change the fact

that you can be kept out of and off of someone's private property by the owner regardless of who you are.
you said to me
" For someone who isn't against BLM
you sure are trying your hardest to justify why they should be arrested and beaten "

[Coolest Ranger]

14. I give up

talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. I get the sense you don't care about issues that affect black people. You just want to come in here to stir up stuff. I don't need this from people like you.

[saturnsring]

15. you and i were having a discussion it isnt win or lose situation.

[JustAnotherGen]

17. You aren't having a discussion

When I have three members of this group PM during the day with 'vibes' that you are trolling and being disruptive.

The last time you posted back here (Nov 13) - you jabbed at ChiTownKevin and sucker punched ismnotwasm.


Please back away from the thread - trash it.

I think one person already put you on ignore.

Thanks - Group Host

[saturnsring]

18. i thought i was. im not being disrespectful nor am i trolling. you can read the posts.

the only reason im here today is to respond to replies.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. Back away from the thread

Don't be a trouble maker.

One pm - its a difference of opinion.

4 PMs from regular posters - go away.

ETA - start here - you can learn something: http://www.democraticunderground.com/118734986

[Number23]

21. Sorry JAG. I've been away for a few days and am just catching up with this forum

I didn't see that you'd asked that person to step away.

Not surprising though. That post of theirs upthread where they posted the famous pic of the little girl whose clothes had been burned off by napalm during the Viet Nam War in a thread about Black Lives Matter has to be one of the most bewildering things I've ever seen.

[JustAnotherGen]

23. That's why I counter

"pictured".

Yes - what happened in Vietnam was awful. Probably some of it at the hands of my father.

But so was the shit that happened to him right here in America - and it continues.

Right in that posters own backyard.
