And not just “pure righteousness,” Devin Hogan declared last week and confirmed on Monday, but also “a genuine revolutionary moment” for Minneapolis. The chair of the city’s Democrat-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party defended those comments about the riots, posting on Facebook that “the truth hurts.”
“How flimsy it is!” wrote Emile Zola in his public letter to French president Félix Faure. “The fact that someone could have been convicted on this charge is the ultimate iniquity. I defy decent men to read it without a stir of indignation in their hearts and a cry of revulsion, at the thought of the undeserved punishment being meted out.”
New Mexico’s House Majority leader took from schools to give to her Caribbean restaurant.
“I believe that we should ask not what people can do for you, but what you can do for the people,” Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton.
Drive down Central Avenue in Albuquerque, stop by A Taste of the Caribbean, and you can get a mac & cheese with jerk chicken, ackees and saltfish, or you might run into law enforcement agents with search warrants targeting the owner and New Mexico’s House Majority Leader.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has arrested a second suspect, Jerrion McKinney, in the July 2020 murder of eight-year-old Secoriea Turner, who was murdered at a Black Lives Matter “rally” in Atlanta.

…King has been dogged for years by allegations of shady dealings in his charitable efforts in movements he has founded — including a lack of transparency in money he has raised for several criminal justice initiatives he has backed.
Fellow activists and those who worked with him raising cash for everything from Haitian orphans to the families of black men killed by police, have repeatedly raised questions about King’s leadership, and, in some cases, asked where the donations have gone.
A 26-year-old Minnesota man has admitted to setting a local pawnshop ablaze while rioting last May to protest the death of George Floyd.
Montez T. Lee Jr., however, is claiming he’s not responsible for the death of a 30-year-old man found inside the burned down shop.
On “The Rubin Report” this week, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin shared side-by-side comparisons of corporate media coverage of Black Lives Matter protests verses the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, provided by a Twitter account called “Libs of Tic Tok.” The ridiculously glaring hypocrisy revealed by the comparisons lead Dave to conclude that America is in the midst of an “information war.”
A mightily bold racial advocacy group in Texas called “Dallas Justice Now” is telling “liberal” Dallas area parents that if they don’t sign a pledge to keep their white kids out of ivy-league schools, then the group will be publicly announcing their names.
The group’s website states that “talk is not enough” and that sacrifices need to be made to make up for centuries of “injustice.” This group has declared that not sending your kid to the likes of Harvard is a good place to start, as it opens up spots that a person of color can take.

A restaurant that cheered rioters who burned down its building during the George Floyd riots now complains that Minneapolis has too much crime after being victimized again.
“Let my building burn,” immigrant restaurant owner Ruhel Islam declared as his business was set ablaze during anti-police protests last summer. “Justice needs to be served, put those officers in jail,” he said on Facebook. His daughter, Hafsa Islam, even penned an op-ed for The Washington Post praising those who torched Gandhi Mahal, their restaurant.

Twenty-one percent (21%) don’t think Congress should investigate last year’s protests, and 13% were not sure.

This will come as a surprise to no one but Gallup’s latest survey on race relations in the United States shows a further decline this year. In fact, the number of people who say things are good or somewhat good has hit a new low for two years in a row. Gallup notes that this latest sample was being conducted at the time that Derek Chauvin was sentenced.
