At least two reports are that white supremacists shot five people at protest. That white supremacist spirit is one of the oldest, nastiest, arrogant, perverse, dangerous and perverse spirits in this nation. It looms, lurks, infects and seeks to destroy. Remember, it was never destroyed but driven like roaches into dark places . . . but not destroyed. It’s least sophisticated elements show up at events like this and do physical damage. It’s more sophisticated elements, in my humble opinion, are infiltrators in places of power . . . I wish I had not awoken to this story . . . will add more later. |
Five people shot at Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis: Police – Salon.com |
Five people were shot at a Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis late Monday night. The Associated Press spoke with Minneapolis police who confirmed the shootings. Police spokesman John Elder told AP all five have injuries that are not life-threatening.
The local newspaper The Star Tribune reported that the five people shot were protesters. Black Lives Matter media contact Miski Noor told The Star Tribune “a group of white supremacists showed up at the protest, as they have done most nights.” When the activists tried to get the white supremacists to leave, Noor said the racists “opened fire on about six protesters.” Five were allegedly hit.
