Omar says some protestors 'felt terrorized by the presence of tanks,' National Guard
By Justine Coleman - 05/31/20 09:51 AM EDT
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that while some Minneapolis residents felt safer with National Guard troops on city streets after demonstrations over the police-involved death of George Floyd turned violent, others “felt terrorized by the presence of tanks†while protesting.
“I think last night, the community did feel safe to know that there will not be a burning of their businesses and their homes,†she said on ABC’s “This Week.†“We are obviously worried and feeling terrorized about that prospect.â€
But, she added, there were “also many people who chose to demonstrate and not abide by the curfew, who felt like they also were terrorized by the presence of tanks, by the presence of the National Guard and a militarized police.â€

So she's giving cover to avowed admitted law breakers (breaking curfew), Sorry b___, if they were scared of the tanks.... terrorist rioting isn't for amateurs.

There is nothing redeeming about this terrorist. I have to assume the same is true of those who will return her to congress.

First, they are not protesters....
Secondly, they are no more terrorized than the people they are attacking..
Thirdly, simple solution, go home...

You can't make this shit up.

Even if she was to be defeated, there's another one just like her waiting in the wings --- and the same idiots will vote them in. I don't like to see all the chaos going on, but MN voted for their incompetent mayors and governor.

Boo effin' hoo, Ilhan.

The answer is of course AOC to abide by the law. Then you don't have to fear right? Isn't that what you took a vow to do? Uphold the laws?
Anybody abiding by curfew and having non violent protests have nothing to worry about.

That's the sad thing: the "squad" squawkers all took an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. Recent comments by Omar, AOC and Pressley, especially, make it all too clear how little respect they have for that document.

I agree. I think our government is in grave danger.

And it ain't because of you-know-who. Wise up. This shit's been developing for a whole lot longer than he had an orange gleam in his eye, and the sooner you figure that out, the better.
Adjust your targeting.

Tanks? There were M1 or M60 tanks present?
Precise speech aside, whatever vehicles MNG had, if the rioters and looters were "intimidated", that was pretty much the point. The MNG troops were not there to have some sort of "fair fight" with the rioters and looters, but to vastly overmatch them.

If you know who say's or does things that are unconstitutional and contrary to oath he took I will make it known.
