Washington Examiner: Jail records indicate that a significant majority of protesters who have been arrested in Minneapolis are from the state of Minnesota, which contradicts earlier claims from state leaders.
The online Hennepin County Jail log shows that 45 people were arrested on Friday and Saturday so far and that 38 of those people have addresses within the state, according to public records reviewed by Fox 9. However, the records contradict statements made by a number of Minnesota legislators who blamed the apparent increase in tension on out-of-state bad actors but only viewing jail records could misconstrue the demographics of all the protesters in the state.
“They are not from our state, and they’re coming from the outside,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar said, according to USA Today. “We cannot move forward when people are burning down our city.”
Gov. Tim Walz said during a press conference on Saturday that rough estimates indicate that about 20% of protesters are Minnesotans, and the rest are from other areas. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said in the morning conference, “What we’re seeing now is a group of people who are not from here. We don’t know these folks.” more here
Some truths are still self-evident.
Facts frequently get in the way of Leftist arguments.
Maybe that’s why they seem to be getting better at damage control and diversion lately.
Too late. The lie has been spread, the corrections will go unnoticed.
As intended.
It was the other way around. 20% were bused in and 80% were local thugs.
And in a couple of other cities (Atlanta and some where else) I did read there were a few buses bringing people in. I don’t know how many people were on it and where they came from, but out of town is still out of town.
That’s how antifa rolled in europe. They were taken to riots.
They do that here, too. Same goes for blm. They have websites posting schedules and meet ups.

Jail records do not necessarily accurately reflect all participants, or organizers or other provocateurs.
A case can be made for either side, in which case I agree with Marco.
That was the leaders doing a, “Not ma chile!” and “Ma state dindu nuffin!”
“Ma constituents was goin ta kallidge!”
Only, it happened in your own damn city, around your own people. Do they think people from out of state got to ground zero to riot BEFORE the out of towners? Bitch, please.
…actually, I agree, to a point. The demostrators are local idiots, lots of White kids included, but the ringleaders are the Soros funded antifa and BLM, who tell them where to go, what to do, and coordinate with their local media friends.
George must be quite pleased…
Blamers gotta blame — instead of doing their jobs and solving problems.
Because. You know. Our people, just love us. For ruling over them. The way we rule over them. Everybody I know, tells me so.
If the rioters in every city are from “somewhere else”, where is that “somewhere else”?
Let’s see the names, photos, addresses, and charges of those arrested.
