"Here is the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand. We are Minnesota strong and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."

Fuck yeah! Thank you for reminding us what patriotism and leadership look like.

Why did they escort him put of the building instead of detaining him until the police arrived?

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Racist GOP man attacks woman = safely escorted out

Nurse helps woman = pepper sprayed, beat and shot in the back multiple times

We aren't afraid of them. They're the scared ones. They're the ones that need to compensate. We dont need to stoop down to their level to boost our egos.

We want them to realize they are wrong so they can help fix this shit. We dont want them dead. We can forgive, if amends are attempted.

She continued. Fuck President Kid Toucher and his waste of space followers.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

She went Teddy Roosevelt, and finished her speech.

"My word! I've been shot!? Where was I..."

Nevertheless, she persisted

Oh my goodness, I hope she's alright.

As for the fascist terrorist sore loser, I hope he gets what he deserves.

It appears she's ok

The man was swiftly tackled by someone else in the room and was eventually escorted out of the room. Omar returned to speaking after a few minutes.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has reached out to Omar’s office for more information about the incident.

I hate to say this but I really hope it was just pig fat or something. That is horrible to hope its only something like that. Not poison or acid.

The video is right there...

I dunno why people are just reading the headline and wondering what happened.

Her sprayed her clothes, she instinctively started to beat his ass, hand up and two quick steps, then she saw security and pulled back.

She says she didn't know what it was, and just asks for a napkin.

It's most likely something dumb like essential oil of Tylenol or something.

People don’t like to click on links for videos because almost every website is absolute unreadable cancer on a mobile phone.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 40 minutes ago

People aren't using adblocks?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 hour ago

Also, people comment that whatever was in the syringe smells really bad.
