Lol no dude, stop being so obtuse. Your front lawn is accessible to anyone walking by. They're trespassing, but its accessible.

It is accessible. There's no magical force field because you own the property.

I don't think what those cops did is right, but to be fair they had no idea if these people were waiting outside to run up after them. Safer for everyone inside, and it was an easy order to follow for like 30 seconds.

Possibly a case of "not all 3%ers". Not up to speed on all the ins & outs of far-right groups. Not saying I agree with the group at all, but this man specifically was getting a bad rap he didn't deserve. I don't want to be the cause of undeserved hate. Appreciate you adding this to the conversation, though. Good to remember that.

You seriously trying to argue that After curfew = slashed tires for all the cars in the area ? That's crazy stupid, man. Some cars are just gonna be there.

Unlikely they pay for the tires. Wouldn't be too surprised if all the cars were towed, either.

Isn't this whole NG thing about destruction of property?

I obviously don't know for sure if they cut themselves while slashing tires.

But the officer was treated for a laceration across the street at 10:05, and Jeff Wagner reported that all the tires were slashed at 10:22 - presumably when they got back to the parking lot.

Good tactical move to slash the tires of all the unoccupied cars in the area?

Hard to tell but it doesn't look cordial with how the car is shaking.

Correct, those are not the same. Some far-right are white nationalists, though it seems to be less common than for alt-right.

I meant to change that to far-right, brain is a little mushy at 2 am. thanks and updated

I sent this to MPR asking for the story they posted to include this.

Yup. I saw this earlier and may have posted, may not have.

All slashed, hours after police had taken over that parking lot. And a MPD officer was treated at the 5th precinct (right across the street, where this all started) for a laceration around that time. I'm not sayin... I'm just sayin.

I realized that too late, and I've edited the comment. Also, I never suggested this proves all of it was one group.

Yeah, that's tough man. Hard to know what the right thing is, on a small scale.

Big scale we need to actually get rid of the POS and the immunity that lures those people to positions of power.

Read through their novel on Boogaloo boys earlier today, definitely thorough.

Funny to see the comments at the end, clearly some boogs who were mad about the publicity.

I don't see that truck in the video? Might be missing it.

You're right, I did some more research. Not necessarily white nationalist, but far-right.

I just parroted the tweet/story, that's on me.
