Minnesota Governor Pleads for Federal Aid as Sky-High Bill for Riot Damage Revealed

By Jack Davis, Western Journalism, July 3, 2020:

Story continues below advertisement

Minnesota is seeking millions of dollars from the federal government to clean up after the riots that erupted in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody May 25.

On Thursday, Gov. Tim Walz announced he was seeking Federal Emergency Management Agency cash, noting that the rioting left a trail of more than $500 million in destruction.

“We’re asking our federal partners to step up and help our communities recover,” he said in a news release.

“We need to come together to ensure Minnesotans who were victims of this destruction have access to critical infrastructure they need so they can go to the grocery store, pick up their medication, and live their lives. Together, we will rebuild.”

The release said that during the rioting and destruction that raged in Minneapolis and surrounding communities, the state called on more than 10,000 law enforcement personnel to try to restore order and the Minnesota National Guard was fully mobilized for the first time since World War II.

“Nearly 1,500 Twin Cities businesses were damaged by vandalism, fire, or looting,” the release said, referring to Minneapolis, the epicenter of the rioting, and nearby St. Paul.

Now, hold on Mohandjob. “Fat willy” has a lot on his plate right now. Why, he has to worry about just how he can be at his job, while simultaneously being somewhat invisible. I mean, he can only use the executive toilet so much in one day. AND, he has to worry if the DOJ commissary can keep his meals below 5000 calories a day (including dessert, of course). So, as you can see, being at the top of the DOJ can be very stressful. So, go a little easy on the man. Send him a cheesecake.

Shouldn’t do that (send cheesecake). As, after he consumes 5000 calories of it, he’ll have to do without food for the rest of the day. And, he just might expire from starvation.

Since it was your idea to go along with BLM, the rioters and the looter.
This should come out of your bank account or Georgie boys.
Feel sure it was he that paid the price to keep them all going for over a month cause welfare might pay them good but they spend it as quick as they get it.
No wonder the Bible insinuates that the love of money is the root of evil. But then they sell (sold) their souls out of greed.

My advice to Trump is to inform the victims of this rioting that they will receive assistance but first, they must abate the problem by recalling and replacing the government officials who allowed it to occur and would mishandle any funds required to repair the damage. Would you repair a building when the person who allowed it to be looted and burned, who cheered it and justified the destruction the building is still in charge of the repairs? The answer is NO. Let the people Minneapolis-St. Paul first fixes their leadership then aid can be extended.Otherwise, we are inviting and rewarding more chaos, looting, and burning.

Most of the posters here do not understand reality. While I agree with the sentiment aid is going to happen. This is an election year and if Trump does not help the DNC will screw him from here to H and back again. And give them the ammunition they need to sink Trump. A wise person once told me “Sometimes you can win by loosing” and this is one of those time. So we taxpayers loose a few Billion Dollars like we haven’t already but we keep a POTUS that can appoint Conservative Justices to the Supreme Court that will out live many of us. So want do you posters want? Revenge or a POTUS that can replace RBG and others on the USSC and give us a conservative court?
