A look at hundreds of buildings damaged in Minneapolis, St. Paul after riots, looting

253-321 minutes
More than 1,500 buildings across the Twin Cities have been vandalized, looted or had doors and windows smashed. Some have been reduced to rubble, and dozens have been destroyed completely by fire. Others have reported extensive water damage or severe fire damage.
While this is an incomplete list, buildings along a 5-mile stretch of Lake Street in Minneapolis and a 3.5-mile stretch of University Avenue in St. Paul's Midway area have experienced some of the heaviest damage, especially those nearest Minneapolis' Third and Fifth police precincts. As protests spread across the metro, many larger companies with multiple locations have temporarily or indefinitely closed. We will continue to update as we learn more.
Maps attempt to show some of the hardest-hit areas but do not include all recorded damage from this list.

Armed Citizens Form 'Battle Line' To Protect Kentucky Confederate Monument
A crowd flocked to a Kentucky town to defend a Confederate monument that was targeted for protests.

As Protesters Target Confederate Statue, Armed Citizens Form 'Battle Line' in Front of the Memorial
By Jack Davis
Published June 14, 2020 at 12:06pm
Go to the link for the video for it will not post.
Proclaiming themselves to be a “battle line,” a crowd gathered in Kentucky on Friday and Saturday to guard a monument to Confederate soldiers against potential attacks by Black Lives Matter protesters.
A statue to Confederate soldiers that was moved from the University of Louisville in 2017 stands in Brandenburg, Kentucky.
On Friday, the Meade County Sheriff’s Office used its Facebook page to alert residents of an impending protest. “The Meade County Sheriff’s Office and the Brandenburg City Police Dept. are aware of the protest planned at the site of the civil war monument on Main St. in downtown Brandenburg.
“We have reached out to other law enforcement agencies for support. We have plans in place to accommodate the protestors in their right to peaceful protest as well as protecting the lives and property of our community and its citizens,” the post said.
“We ask that the citizens of our community continue their support for our community and local law enforcement by praying for a safe and peaceful demonstration at this event.
“We recognize and appreciate all citizens that want to exercise their constitutional rights. However, with that right comes great responsibility. Please help your law enforcement do their jobs as safely and efficiently as possible by demonstrating that responsibility.
“Together we can make this event a peaceful event by working to protect everyone’s rights,” the post read.
Although protesters did gather in Brandenburg, about 30 miles southwest of Louisville, so did others who blocked access to the monument. Some of the monument’s defenders were armed.
On Friday, the groups hurled epithets at each other, but nothing more, according to WDRB.

Cletus Evans, who was at the monument, said there are different motives at work in the protests. “There’s some legitimate groups that have very good advocating rights to protest and they do it peacefully. It’s just like when Dr. Martin Luther King protested, he did peaceful protests. It’s the groups that went beyond that and tear up buildings, that’s when, you can’t gain anything from that,” Evans said, according to WHAS-TV.
The 70-foot-tall monument was banished from Louisville in 2016.
“We all have our opinions about history, but I’ve never looked at this thing as representing slavery. You know, this is a confederates veterans monument, and that’s all,” Brandenburg Mayor Ronnie Joyner said in 2017 when the statue was moved to its current location, according to WDRB-TV.
“t’s about is the veterans,” he said then.
Tumultuous protests and physical destruction of Confederate monuments has been concentrated mainly on Southern states that were part of the old Confederacy, such as North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Kentucky never officially seceded from the Union during the Civil War, but its population’s sympathies were sharply divided, as Battlefields.org has noted. Some divisions about contemporary views of the Confederacy remain to this day.

Virginia Judge Halts Governor’s Plan To Remove Robert E. Lee Statue
ALICIA F. LUKE JUNE 9, 2020A Virginia judge halted Virginia governor’s plan to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, citing a 130-year-old statute.
In a court filing obtained by The Washington Post, an attorney for plaintiff William Gregory argues that Virginia agreed to “faithfully guard it and affectionately protect it,” referring to the statue when the state annexed the land from Henrico County in 1890. Gregory is the grandson of a couple involved in the land deal, according to court documents.

Judge Halts Virginia Governor’s Plan To Remove Robert E. Lee Statue, Cites 130-Year-Old Statute
A Virginia judge has thrown a wrench into Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D-VA) plans to remove the iconic statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from the state capital. Richmond Circuit Court Judge Bradley...
Richmond Circuit Court Judge Bradley B. Cavedo issued a 10-day injunction on Monday that would keep the statue in place, MRC TV reported. Cavedo ruled that Northam’s directive violated a 130-year-old deed agreement filed in Henrico County that guarantees the statue remains in place and that the commonwealth “faithfully guard it and affectionately protect it.”As MRC reported, Cavedo’s ruling keeps anyone from preparing the statue to be removed.
Northam’s office vowed to remove the statue anyway.“Governor Northam remains committed to removing this divisive symbol from Virginia’s capital city, and we’re confident in his authority to do so,” Northam press secretary Alena Yarmosky said in a statement Monday night. Northam ordered the statue to be removed last Thursday.
The Daily Wire reported.“Today, Virginia is home to more Confederate commemorations than any other state. That’s true because generations ago, Virginia made the decision not to celebrate unity, but to honor the cause of division,”
Northam tweeted at the time. “The statue of Robert E. Lee is the most prominent. Lee himself didn’t want a monument, but Virginia built one any way. Instead of choosing to heal the wounds of the American civil war, they chose to keep them on display.”
Leave all the statues alone. Good, bad, or in between, doesn’t really matter. It’s our history and it should remain. How about we don’t destroy it, but instead learn from it. How many people are willing to stand up to stop this Democratic lunacy of erasing our history?

Dolly Parton statue may replace KKK leader monument at the Tennessee capitol

Dolly Parton statue may replace KKK leader monument at the Tennessee capitol

Friday, June 12th 2020
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WBMA) – A statue of former KKK leader and Confederate soldier Nathan Bedford Forrest that has been in the Tennessee capitol for over 40 years could be replaced by another famous Tennessean.
Local lawmakers are considering options to replace Forrest and according to reports, Dolly Parton is one candidate.
The Tennessean reported in December last year that Republican state Rep. Jeremy Faison was the first person to bring up the idea of removing the statue that's been in the capitol building since 1978. Faison said he could "think of 100 other people deserving of that post" before suggesting Parton because of her popularity and status as a local and national role model.
“If we want to preserve history, then let’s tell it the right way," said Faison. "How about getting a lady in there? My daughter is 16, and I would love for her to come into the Capitol and see a lady up there... What’s wrong with someone like Dolly Parton being put in that alcove?”
Lately there has been mounting pressure to downplay Nathan Bedford Forrest's legacy in Tennessee, in the wake of George Floyd's death and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Parton has not commented publicly on the idea.

DALLAS -- Texas prosecutors are examining potential irregularities in a scandal-ridden former Houston police officer's arrest of George Floyd on a minor drug charge — a probe that could expand the body of convictions possibly tainted by the officer's conduct.
Floyd, whose death last month under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer sparked national protests, pleaded guilty in 2004 and served time in a state jail over what prosecutors now describe as selling $10 worth of crack in a police sting.
But Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said Saturday that Floyd's case may be among scores built on false evidence from Gerald Goines, who is facing murder charges after he allegedly lied to obtain the warrant in a botched 2019 drug raid that left two people dead. He has pleaded not guilty.
“Gerald Goines’ arrest of George Floyd reveals an offense report that is incomplete and suspect,” Ogg said in a statement. “I have instructed prosecutors to verify the facts in this offense report.”
Prosecutors have already dismissed dozens of convictions dating back to at least 2008 that they say were marred by Goines. If the review of Floyd’s arrest reveals misconduct, they'll presume all of Goines' cases going back to 2004 are tainted, Ogg said.
Goines’ attorney, Nicole DeBorde, accused Ogg of using Floyd's death for political gain and announcing the review of the case to distract from her record. The district attorney is up for re-election in November.
“Regarding Ogg’s resurrecting of a decade and a half old case without a shred of new information - this is a transparent and opportunistic effort to capitalize on Floyd’s murder,” DeBorde said.
Prosecutors initially flagged Floyd’s arrest as part of a wider investigation of cases involving Goines launched after the deadly drug raid, said Dane Schiller, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office.
Goines arrested Floyd after giving money to a third person, which the person then allegedly used to buy less than half a gram of crack from Floyd, Schiller said. He said the money used in the buy was never recovered, the third person is not identified in case records and the presented evidence likely would not meet prosecutors current standards.
The re-examination of Floyd’s cases was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

You know, much as I like and admire Dolly Parton, the idea of her statue in replacing a Confederate General in the public square really makes me feel like Nightwolf has hit this one on the head - When I told him about "The Warlord" in "CHASE" (and suggested are big, black, thug of a Tom Cat should have that as a nickname) Nightwolf said:
"That fits right in, now that we are all living in Comic Book Land..."
A Dolly Parton statue in this context feels pretty much the same way (as opposed to a lovely tribute or statue to her as just something her home town or other location wanted to do on their own rather than as a "replacement.")

"Some men can't be reasoned with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
GREAT video snip. And that's what we're dealing with; the darkest element of human nature and depravity that's given itself over to darkness and demonic influences.

Protesters pull down Thomas Jefferson statue in front of Portland high school
Updated Jun 15, 2020; Posted Jun 14, 2020
The statue of Thomas Jefferson is removed from its base in front of Jefferson High School in Northeast Portland on Sunday, June 14, 2020. Jamie Goldberg/Staff
By Lizzy Acker | The Oregonian/OregonLive and Jamie Goldberg | The Oregonian/OregonLive
Sunday night protesters tore down a statue of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States who also owned over 600 slaves during his lifetime, outside his namesake high school in Northeast Portland.
Jefferson High School was the beginning point for a Sunday march organized by Rose City Justice to protest police violence and the killing of George Floyd.
Speakers told the crowd that gathered at Jefferson that they had decided to hold Sunday’s march, which went from the high school to Alberta Park, in a historically black neighborhood that had been gentrified.
Portland Public Schools statistics have shown 32% of students at Jefferson are black, the largest share of any high school in Oregon. Another 31% of Jefferson students are white, 20% are Latino, and 13% identify as multiracial.
At about 7:15 p.m., a crowd of more than 1,000 left the high school grounds to march to the park. By the time they returned, a statue of Thomas Jefferson had been pulled from its pedestal, apparently by a smaller group. The statue fell on its side and a dent was visible in the concrete where it fell.
Earlier in the day, the statue’s pedestal had been defaced with graffiti that, among other things, identified Jefferson as a slave owner.
Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence that proclaimed “that all men are created equal,” publicly decried slavery -- even as he enslaved hundreds of people and profited from their forced labor.
It was unclear when the statue was taken down, but by 10 p.m. when dozens of protesters streamed back onto the football field at Jefferson High School, the statue was no longer standing.
The crowd cheered as an organizer announced: “There’s an interesting piece of history up here... Mr. Thomas is all beside himself.”
