I'm not getting my PhD in RM history, unfortunately, but I'll try to do better with the facts.

In any case, since Josh mentioned it, here is an actual mainstream news source:
Note the language--that he has been told, presumably by the police, that the anti-police protestors were from out of state. That doesn't mean that it's false, but it also doesn't necessarily mean that it's true, or that it's not an exaggeration or a partial view of the story, and it certainly doesn't mean that because they were from out of state that therefore they're left-wing agitators. So it's quite fine to hold this claim about where the protestors are from--and what political persuasion they represent--in suspension until further verified, unless of course you've already summarily claimed that the mainstream media constantly lies, in which case you've forfeited any ability to rely on them to support your perspective.

There are also a lot of posts on far right boards about going in and “getting their loot on,” setting fires, or starting a boogaloo.

I don’t think anybody knows exactly what the mix of forces in Minneapolis is, besides the actually angry locals, but I do know that there are a hellllllllll of a lot more white nationalists within 500 miles of Minneapolis than there are antifa members.

And whoever these people are, they ain’t flying in.
Do you have a source for this, or do you just know it? MN is a blue state whose electoral votes haven’t gone to a Republican presidential candidate since Nixon, with a Democrat governor, a radical leftist AG, 2/2 Dem US senators, and 5/8 Dem US House reps. With more Ds than Rs, wouldn’t it stand to reason that there are therefore more people on the extreme left than on the extreme right?

I know there is an absolute horde of racism within 500 miles of Minneapolis because I grew up in Sioux Falls, 200 miles from Minneapolis. And because I lived for a year in Pipestone, MN...180 miles from Minneapolis. And because I spent summers living in Sioux City, IA and working in Le Mars...250 miles from Minneapolis (and part of Steve fucking King’s constituency). Because I started my career in Ivanhoe...170 miles from Minneapolis. I know because my wife’s family stretches from Howard County up into Redfield, SD, 200 miles straight west of Minneapolis. And because I used to work concerts in Fargo, 235 miles from Minneapolis.

If people are coming into Minnesota from out of state, I know at least two of the closest states like family, and there sure as shit ain’t nothing but Fox country there.

Thanks for sharing those fascinating tales of growing up in racist rural America. I’m sure there are no visitors from blue population centers like Duluth, Iowa City, Des Moines, Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago.


Just so we’re clear, when you say white nationalists, you’re talking about all Trump voters, right?

Protestors in Philly have set a cop car on fire and are now trying to take down the Frank Rizzo statue.

I'll never understand the "fake news" crowd. All you're doing is admitting that you don't believe what you hear on mainstream media, so... you're only listening to conservative or alt-media? And you want people to take you seriously? Even IF the drive-by media is biased or looney or whatever you think it is, none of you ever have an answer to what the good media is. And I'm sorry, but the fake news crowd always seems to get their news from extremely similar places and end up making the same weird arguments.

Weird way to react to the answer to a question you asked.

Out of state protestors from Duluth...Minnesota?

On the contrary, I don’t consider “racist“ and “Trump supporter“ to be interchangeable labels. There are absolutely racist Democrats, for one thing. When I say the Plains are awash in racists, I mean they are awash in racists.

You seem to be the one implying that being a Democrat is directly equatable to being antifa. The idea that the presence of blue voters in Des Moines, Iowa means there could be an antifa community there is laughable.

The hopefully-not-fake local news just reported the following arrest info of rioters over the past two days...

St. Paul: 8/12 had MN addresses; out-of-state addresses included WI, TX, ND
Minneapolis: 38/45 had MN addresses; 1 had no address
