....Minneapolis police strongly advised me to
 
Delete my post about what happened to my nephew citing I was “inciting violence” in referencing his sexual orientation And they don’t consider this to be a hate crime. Thank you for all the comforting messages!

But... wtf?

This is the original now deleted post:

I posted cautiously and slightly skeptically about this claim over on CU (thread at http://www.conservativeunderground.com/forum505/showthread.php?102683-My-nephew-had-a-Molotov-cocktail-thrown-through-the-window-of-his-home-last-night ). Since I doubt MPD knows Heartstrings - or DU, :rotf: - exists, I think this evidences that her OP was a fictional :bouncy: .

Even a couple of DUmmies on the original post were looking for some news coverage.

Was it a play for a Gofundme for some $$$ but folks started asking questions?

I also looked for news coverage, but found none. Though that does not prove it didn't happen, given MSM sympathies. But with this move ...... yeah, $$$ might have been an object. Or maybe simple sympathy-seeking or virtue-signalling.

Lots of blacks and Muslims in that area. Neither of those two groups care much for gays.

I thought it interesting that since the nephew was gay that the Molotov cocktail was automatically because he was gay.

We’ve had random violence for over a month, but somehow this was automatically a hate crime.

I’m tired of this shit.

My initial thoughts about that story were that the nephew would hopefully get better, but that the Molotov was likely thrown by a BLM radical or an Antifoid.
However, that's when my critical- thinking- senses started tingling: Between the fact that if such an attack actually happened (And in the middle of "Pride Month," no less), it would almost certainly be a major news headline, and the fact that the poster self- deleted the OP, I definitely got suspicious.
This follow- up is the nail in the coffin.
a) How would the Minneapolis PD know or care about what goes on on DU?
b) The Minneapolis PD would not be likely to assume that simply mentioning the supposed victim's sexual orientation would incite violence. Left- wing losers like the DUmmies are the ones who assume that harmless statements should be considered "Incitement."
c) (Big one here) The Minneapolis PD almost certainly have MUCH more important concerns at the moment than what some loser wrote on an Internet forum.
So, in plain English, it's a complete crock. An attempt to virtue- signal, gain attention/ pity from other DUmmies, possibly promote/ strengthen the BS rumor that any and all violence at George Floyd protests MUST be the work of imaginary "White supremacists," and now with this follow- up, to try and further incite hatred against the Minneapolis PD.

does the nephew even exist? Could be a step:

what else would you expect from an Evers supporter?
