‘Bulldoze people’s tents’
The latest shooting happened at a homeless camp in a parking lot that has been at the centre of a legal conflict between the owner of the property, Hamoudi Sabri, who opened it up to the homeless in July, and city officials who want it shut down.
Sabri has refused to shut down the camp, and earlier this month, the city sued him to try to force the camp’s closure.
Sabri is facing about $15,000 in citations and fines related to the encampment.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a news conference in the hours after the shooting that the city will be “clearing this encampment immediately after the crime scene has been investigated.”
Canada is gonna have a moment of silence for these victims too right?
Just as soon as the “no place for political violence” folks from last week make a statement on it
House of Commons only do that to nazis and their descendents.
Arm the homeless, it’s safer.
Encourage right wingers to assault the most vulnerable
Use that as an excuse to destroy any semblance of refuge they have (already basically zero) using sanctioned state violence
Use the mere existence of violence happening, with no context of the immediate or broader reasons, as an excuse to pressure more national guard deployments. Currently mostly an “aesthetics” deployment. Going forward… who knows
Around and around the sanitarium we go, who will stay sane we may never know
It’d take nothing for some local chud with connections to shoot up a homeless encampment.
that is fucked up man. I wonder if the bulldozers will destroy evidence by accident.
“Accident” when they’re using it as an excuse to clear them out.
I wonder how easy it would be to make a legal case that this is tied to Brian Kilmeade
Sorry but Brian Kilmeade has only said words. Words are harmless.
yeah if they didn’t get bill o’reilly for slandering george tiller then kilmeade is in the clear too
At least eight people have been wounded, including four with critical injuries, in a shooting at a homeless camp on private property in Minneapolis, police in midwestern US state of Minnesota said.
Oh fuck no…
Oh geez, Minnesota is not doing great these days
