Manufacturer that burned as Minneapolis protests turned violent plans to relocate from city
'They didn't protect our people,' 7-Sigma owner says of city officials.

$1:

A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company's owner saying he can't trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs.

"They don't care about my business," said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. "They didn't protect our people. We were all on our own."

Wyrobek said the plant, which usually operates until 11 p.m., shut down about four hours early on the first night of the riots because he wanted to keep his workers out of harm's way. He said a production supervisor and a maintenance worker who live in the neighborhood became alarmed when fire broke out at the $30 million Midtown Corner affordable housing apartment complex that was under construction next door.

"The fire engine was just sitting there," Wyrobek said, "but they wouldn't do anything."

Two days after the riots began, Gov. Tim Walz described the city's response as an "abject failure." Walz ordered the National Guard into Minneapolis to restore order at the request of Mayor Jacob Frey. The violence sometimes overshadowed peaceful protests over the death last month of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

Frey said Monday that he was unaware of 7-Sigma's decision to move, and he declined to say whether the company's decision reflects the challenges facing city leaders as they try to convince business owners to rebuild in Minneapolis. Many business owners have criticized the city, saying their pleas for help went unanswered.

So would you be ok with NHL players taking a knee with the playing of O Canada?

The Charter guarantees the right to free speech and if visible minority players wanted to do so, then I say go for it.

I'd have ZERO problem with it.

OK but I see that you are adding visible minority players as a qualifier. Why not every player? What if white American and European players started kneeling for O Canada? Is that cool too? You have to admit that would cause quite the stir in the media, would it not?

It seems like you are trying every possible scenario until you find one that pisses us off. I'll save you time. It won't.

We love our country, but love for our country and symbols of that country are not unconditional. We know it has flaws and is tattered in places. Exposing those flaws won't change anything.

We know the legacies of Africville and Residential Schools/Day schools. We know about the lies told to the Innu, and the murder of thousands of their dogs. We know about the way First Nations continue to be oppressed by the Indian Act. And we are working on being better.

If people anywhere want to take a knee to protest the injustices we know have occurred and are still ongoing, that's fine with us. We accept Canada with all its flaws as we find it, because it is good to us despite those flaws.

But, since you consider the original Black Panther Party communist why don't you also consider the NBBP to be communists too? They've taken the name of and claim an affiliation with a the Black Panther Party which is as you said a communist organization.

I hate to Godwin a thread, but the 'National Socialists' in Germany weren't socialists, they were facists.

No, the social welfare system they built for those of provable Germanic blood was quite comprehensive and expansive. Eliminate all the warmongering and genocidal tendencies and the Nazis were easily as socialist as any left-of-center party in Europe today. It's actually a problem for today's debates because it gives those with a grudge against any form of social welfare the slimmest of handholds to bash anything the government provides. "Unemployment insurance? Public health care? Education & training? What are you, some kind of goddamn Nazi ?!?!?!?!?". It's a terrible situation.

Perhaps by the standards of modern socialism, he had socialist tendencies, but by the standards of the interwar period he was a populist and ultra-nationalist, not a socialist. You're not turning into some sort of historical revisionist are you?

He spent most of the 1920s trying to eradicate socialist thought from the NSDAP, his most famous efforts at the 1926 Bamburg Conference:

Hitler did, however, make himself clear when he told the conference that he would not allow the party to go in the direction of “undiluted socialist principles”.

Why would white players protest white privilege?

But okay let me re-phrase, if ANY player, regardless of race, gender or religion (or any other personal identifier), wanted to take a knee during the Canadian national anthem, I'd be fine with it.

Senator wants to know if police are using Clearview to ID protesters

Absolutely they are.

The first charges have been laid and while the bullshit says the investigation was built on other information you can read the story and ferret out the fact that the police had to use photography and video coupled with recognition tools to ID masked terrorists.
