Paintballs and Covid Curfews. It went well beyond Walz demanding that everyone be a Covid snitch, while at the same time genuflecting to George Floyd. Those pesky protests got out of hand, so a curfew had to be imposted. It was paintball time if you dare to stay on your OWN porch a little too long.

No, I’m not kidding. I’d dropped this into a prior post regarding Walz’s deep admiration for a pro-Hitler Hamas loving cleric, but it deserves wider attention. 

This was during the George Floyd riots. But the power to do this to their citizens was only extended to them because of the Covid lockdowns and executive orders. This way all may-june 2020

And let’s take a look at the neighborhood in which Walz made sure cops, National Guard, and Humvees were deployed to make the citizens behave. 

The incident came just days after the Minnesota governor, now Vice President Kamala Harris’ running-mate, issued a draconian executive order imposing a strict 8 p.m. curfew for all Minneapolis and St. Paul to tamp down the violent riots following the murder of George Floyd.

The cops were filmed in the trendy Whittier neighborhood of the city, which is home to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and a popular restaurant scene. It is more the two miles from the area where Floyd was killed — where riots and looting raged for days.

“Since May 29, 2020, when I first issued a nighttime curfew, over 400 individuals have been arrested, with over 250 individuals arrested after the 8:00 pm curfew on May 31, 2020,” Walz wrote in the June 1 extension of the original order.

“Because much of the destruction and violence has taken place under the cover of darkness, we must continue a temporary nighttime curfew in coordination with the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.”

This was, to be blunt, in an upscale neighborhood full of middle-income to high-end homes plus a thriving restaurant scene. In the original post, which was just taken down, people were insisting that the police were just super politely requesting that homeowners, sitting on their OWN porch, go inside.

There’s a curfew in St Paul tonight. My daughter said for people who break it, it’s 90 days in jail or a thousand dollars. For me, that would be an easy choice. I’d take the thousand dollars.

And when they didn’t move fast enough… “Light Em Up!” 

A group of around 15 to 20 police officers and National Guardsmen then approach the front of the house, shouting “go inside!” five or six times and “get in your house now!” After around 10 seconds of commands, one officer yells, “light ’em up,” and starts shooting green paint bullets at Kerssen and other unidentified people, according to the video.

This information comes at the same time that Walz is on the ropes because of his embellishments, yes MULTIPLE, of his military record. He explained it thusly yesterday. 

“I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person’s service record,” Walz said at the convention of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). “To anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent, I just have a few simple words: thank you for your service and sacrifice.”

I could go into a very long diatribe regarding his gaslighting and the fact that his service was totally marred by his quitting before having to deploy to Iraq, but I won’t. This time.

That said, Tim Walz during his tenure as Governor has taken government overreach and INACTION to a totally different level. 

A bar owner whose nearly century-old watering hole was torched by rioters during the 2020 George Floyd riots slammed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as a “criminal” who let the city descend into a lawless hellscape by refusing to immediately call in the National Guard.

“He could have called [the guardsmen] in [but] he didn’t,” Hupp added. “I didn’t have a drop of water put on my place. Not a drop of water for those three and a half days! Crazy. It’s [a] complete loss of leadership, totally.”

As mayhem coursed through the state’s largest capital, with rioters looting businesses and setting storefronts aflame, Walz, a 24-year National Guard veteran who took office the year before, waited an astonishing 18 hours after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pleaded for at least 600 guardsmen before finally sending in the troops.

And Walz dithered while his daughter sent warnings to the rioters. 

Here’s where we are folks. We have a presumptive Vice President nominee who, when faced with a major issue, vilifies and attacks his law-abiding constituents, kicks Mayor Jacob Frey under the bus, but gives a total pass to those who burn down businesses and a police precinct.  

Walz did that during Covid and the George Floyd riots. Make no mistake, he’d deploy the paintball strategy all over again on a national scale. And Kamala, who STILL has her Tweet up advocating for donations to the ‘get out of jail free’ bail fund up, will cackle and nod in agreement.
