The chaos that has ensued on the streets of Minneapolis follows a familiar script, to include little media curiosity about the very real likelihood of professional instigators being brought in from outside the area to sow seeds of destruction.
A script that includes those allegedly outraged hurting their own communities with their lawless behavior, robbing their neighbors of jobs and businesses.
In that regard, a video depicting armed black Americans standing outside businesses they have spent their whole lives building made the rounds online Thursday. A video that smashes a left-wing talking point about how white gun owners get preferential treatment from police, who are allegedly eager to attack people of color.
Hoping to protect their black-owned businesses from the ensuing mob, a number of lawfully armed men are seen standing outside in the video. Unmolested.
