Twin Cities under siege!

The Minneapolis/St. Paul area is under siege, as the region seems to have been (all too predictably) deeded out to the Republican National Convention's unsavory partisans.

First there was the rental hall raid in St. Paul by gun-brandishing cops - for which authorities at first illegally refused to provide the reason. Authorities later claimed the raid was for a fire code violation (which wasn't true). Then they said they had a warrant to search for (gasp!) maps. Now there's been an equally outrageous raid in Minneapolis.

Police there raided a small house, accusing the residents of "conspiracy to riot." (?!?!?!) The charge was entirely baseless. After that, city inspectors arrived and boarded up the house, accusing it of code violations. The city refused to specify what these violations were. Later they said it was because there were too many people sleeping in the attic.

Then the city tried charging the residents $6,000 for the house being boarded up! It also tried making tenants fix the back door that the police kicked in.

With command state actions like this, at least now we know Freepers run the city of Minneapolis. You'd think Minneapolis would've learned from New York having to pay a multimillion-dollar settlement for its Nazi-like suppression of antiwar activists.

Twenty years ago, stormtrooper repression like this was much more limited in most major American cities. In conservative cities like Cincinnati, you'd hear of things like illegal sweeps where anyone who looked like they were under 18 was considered a "habitual truant." But most cities were relatively laid-back. But now the whole country is a police state.

I mean, come on! Minneapolis too?????

America is now BushAmerica.
