The State Capitol is in the process of being evacuated. Public transit is being shut down city wide.
Lol, the same state capitol that had whites with assault rifles marching inside a couple weeks ago?
Black people bad
That was in Michigan that had the armed protesters marching inside. MN had drive-by protesters or some shit with some armed dudes hanging out outside.
Most, probably all, of local Targets are closing early today.
Police gassed the media covering the protests in St Paul. Separately, looters stole police riot gear from squad cars.
dammit Bobby, lock the damn car
St Paul is now a no-fly zone per the request of the St Paul Police Department.
The amount of helicopters going overhead reminds me of the Flight of the Valkyries.
