Yesterday there was a pro-genocide rally in Minneapolis that took over a major highway and illegally blocked traffic. The demonstrators stood up for baby-burning, gang rape, kidnapping and mass homicide. Just another day in a land where immigration policy has been off the rails for a long time. The invaluable Andy Ngo has the story:

The pro-Palestine rioters in Minneapolis chased after the driver, a confused elderly man, and began swarming and attacking him again: pic.twitter.com/zGPR2tZYd4

Why are left-wing, anti-Semitic, pro-genocide, pro-baby decapitating protesters allowed to shut down major streets and highways? Why do local authorities do nothing to rein them in?
Because the local authorities are Democrats, and contemporary liberalism is viciously anti-Semitic, as well as anti-American. Republicans in Minnesota’s legislature have introduced legislation to punish shutting down streets and highways, but Democrats have blocked it from passage. So outrages of this sort are permitted to occur, over and over, while residents vote with their feet and move somewhere else.
And elderly drivers who go down the street and unexpectedly encounter pro-genocide fanatics are denounced as white supremacists, while the pro-genocide, pro-gang rape, pro-mass murder, pro-baby burning crazies are praised. That is what happens in a Democrat-controlled city like Minneapolis. And, as far as I can tell, the state’s dominant news outlet, the Star Tribune, has not even mentioned the outrageous shutting down of a major artery by a pro-genocide mob.
UPDATE: An actress who was blocked by the pro-Hamas demonstrators tweeted about the experience:
As I drove through the intersection, I saw these guys on 4-wheelers on the median, flying the Hamas flag. pic.twitter.com/L6DJkeThiL

The young man in front of her was trying to get to work, where he was already late. He was furious, practically in tears, screaming, "This isn't peaceful!!"
People were pouring out of their cars. Heated arguments were breaking out. I was trapped. It was scary.

I overrode my nervous system and performed a 2.5 hour comedy. But I kept thinking: That was terrifying for me. How much more terrifying would it have been if I were Jewish? Would I have gotten out of my car? Next to the effing Hamas flag?

I'm sure many of the people there went with peaceful intentions. Perhaps the organizers have peaceful intentions. But the Hamas flag is not a peaceful symbol. Keeping that case worker from her desperate client is not a peaceful action. My nervous system still hasn't relaxed.

I have friends who were live-streaming their presence at that protest. I know they're good people with good intentions. But we have to look at the company we're keeping; we have to look at the effects of our actions. If peace is the goal, peace has to be the method.

I think Ms. Perry’s eyewitness account is valuable, but I disagree with her about the criminals who illegally blocked the highway. I don’t think any of them had “peaceful intentions” or were “good people.” I don’t think there is anything positive to say about people who demonstrate their support for beheading babies and gang-raping women. I think those people are evil through and through, and I think the only relevant question is, why are they not all headed for long prison terms?
