Violent protests over the death of a black man in police custody rocked a Minneapolis neighborhood for a second straight night as angry crowds looted stores, set fires and left a path of damage that stretched for miles. The mayor asked the governor to activate the National Guard.
As you watch this horrific scene unfold, it is at once shocking and familiar to you. Shocking because you are watching the utter deprivation of humanity, depraved both in the killing of George Floyd as well as the waves of violence by hundreds of looters, thieves and arsonists in protest. Let's call it for what it is, shall we? But taking just a small peek behind the curtain reveals to us another familiar character we've seen before in these back alleys of the end times, and he has much previous experience with financing and inciting these types of events.
Now, I am not saying that
George Soros and his Open Society Foundation are behind the riots underway right now, only because at this
exact moment and on this
exact day I lack the proof to make that type of claim. But I am quite confident that as further revelations roll in, we will have the proof we need to make that statement. Why? Because we have shown you over the years that George Soros
has financed much civil and racial unrest in America, like he did in Ferguson to the tune of over $33 million dollars. Let's take a look, shall we?
Take a look at what George Soros has already been involved with:
Looting, fires rock Minneapolis after man dies in custody
FROM THE AP: The protests that began late Wednesday and stretched into Thursday morning were the most destructive yet since the death of
George Floyd, who was seen on video gasping for breath during an arrest in which an officer kneeled on his neck for almost eight minutes. In the footage, Floyd pleads that he cannot breathe and slowly stops talking and moving.
Mayor Jacob Frey sought calm. “Please, Minneapolis, we cannot let tragedy beget more tragedy,” he
said on Twitter.
Protests also spread to other U.S. cities. In California, hundreds of people
protesting Floyd’s death blocked a Los Angeles freeway and shattered windows of California Highway Patrol cruisers. Memphis police blocked a main thoroughfare after a racially mixed group of protesters gathered outside a police precinct. The situation intensified later in the night, with police donning riot gear and protesters standing shoulder-to-shoulder in front of officers stationed behind a barricade.
Minneapolis police said the violence contrasted sharply with a mostly peaceful demonstration Tuesday afternoon at the street corner where Floyd died.
“They were chanting for things to remain peaceful,” police spokesman John Elder said. “Tonight didn’t have the same feel. And that’s sad.”
Pockets of looting continued Thursday. A liquor store employee displayed a gun as he stood among the debris of broken bottles and beer cans inside the business.
Amid the violence, a man was found fatally shot Wednesday night near a pawn shop, possibly by the owner, authorities said. Fire crews responded to about 30 intentionally set blazes during the protests, including at least 16 structure fires, and multiple fire trucks were damaged by rocks and other projectiles, the fire department said. No one was hurt by the blazes.
Firefighters were still spraying water onto hot buildings Thursday morning, and some buildings still smoldered, sending a bitter smell into the smoke-filled air.
Windows were smashed out of several businesses in a strip mall, including a department store, a charter school and other businesses, and the destruction was visible for blocks. A Wendy’s restaurant was damaged beyond recognition.
Inside some of the stores, shelves were toppled and debris strewn about. Video taken inside a damaged Target that had been looted showed empty clothing racks. Obscenities were spray-painted on the outside of the store. Streets and parking lots were also covered in debris, and many businesses had been spray-painted.
There was no sign of a police presence, except around the precinct building, where officers were in riot gear. One man standing outside the building was using a bullhorn to shout. “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe. Mama, I can’t breathe,” repeating some of Floyd’s pleas for relief.
Across from the precinct, someone had spray-painted the sidewalk in red: “Where’s humanity?”
Protesters began gathering Wednesday afternoon near the city’s 3rd Precinct station, in the southern part of the city, where the
46-year-old Floyd died on Memorial Day as police arrested him outside a convenience store on a report of a counterfeit bill being passed. Demonstrators also skirmished with officers, who fired rubber bullets and tear gas in a repeat of Tuesday night’s confrontation.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI in Minneapolis said Thursday they were conducting “a robust criminal investigation” into Floyd’s death and making the case a priority. The announcement came a day after President Donald Trump tweeted that he had asked an investigation to be expedited.

Riots over the death of George Floyd, who was killed by police, erupted Wednesday night, leading to devastating damage across Minneapolis.
It is astounding to me, that after all the racial tensions of the past decade, that any police officer, black or white, in any police department in America, could do what police officers did in the death of George Floyd as they were arresting him. Even more shocking still is that the officers involved were fired, I think they should have been arrested. If you can't trust the police, who are sworn to 'protect and serve', then peace in America is impossible. Maybe at this point, it's impossible anyway.
In the videos at the bottom of this article, you can see security cam footage of police officers taking George Floyd out of his car in what looks like a traffic stop. It ends with Floyd being held down on the ground with a police office strangling him to death by kneeling on his neck until he could no longer breathe. That cannot possibly be police protocol, and if it is, it is very, very wrong. I am very much against police brutality, but Black Lives Matter protesters cause a lot of deaths and damage as well, and I am very much against what they do also. Wrong is wrong, no matter which side of the fence you are on.
The death of George Floyd is tragic and brutal, and it breaks my heart to see what happened to that man. But what makes it worse is that the Liberals, funded by George Soros, will use this an an excuse for endless riots in the streets and more tragic deaths. They have already begun, we have seen this before in Dallas, Ferguson, Baltimore, Charlottesville and so many other places. The wheels continue to come off our nation as we speed full ahead into the end times.
Buildings Trashed, Burned Down Across Minneapolis Overnight

Around 1,000 protesters descended on Los Angeles in a Black Lives Matter protest on Wednesday evening
FROM DAILY MAIL UK: A protester was thrown from the hood of a police cruiser in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday night as a Black Lives Matter demonstration calling for justice for George Floyd turned violent.
About 1,000 protesters descended on LA following the 46-year-old father-of-two died in Minneapolis Monday, moments after a white cop knelt on his neck for eight minutes until he passed out. As protests entered their second day in Minnesota, tensions began building between law enforcement and African-American communities across America, with demonstrators calling for the four officers involved in Floyd's death to be charged with murder. The first break-off protest sprung up in downtown LA Wednesday afternoon and quickly escalated into violence.
Shocking aerial footage shows several protesters surrounding a California Highway Patrol cruiser and smashing the back windows on the 101 Freeway.
One protester clambered on the hood before tumbling to the ground when the police officer drove off. The man was seen lying motionless on the ground and covered in blood, but he did regain consciousness and was taken to hospital in an ambulance. A second police cruiser that arrived at the scene was also attacked, had its windows smashed and was seen fleeing.
The march rally began near the Hall of Justice at around 4p.m. local time before protesters marched through the streets toward the area of Temple. People carried signs reading ‘Black Lives Matter’. The group then made its way onto the 101 Freeway where they blocked cars along the road. The freeway was forced to shutter.
By around 6.25pm local time, the crowd began moving off the freeway and continued moving through downtown LA streets, reported NBC Los Angeles. As night fell, some protesters were seen burning an upside-down US flag before they carried the burnt remains of the flag towards a row of police officers. READ MORE
