On its home page this morning the Star Tribune has plastered a big story about the local editions of the No Kings protests. The story runs with two bylines and notes six contributors. The staff observes: “Their objections ranged from ongoing ICE raids to the federal government shutdown, from Medicaid cuts and the treatment of immigrants to the deployment of National Guard units to major U.S. cities.” My translation: We don’t need no stinkin’ law enforcement.

The Star Tribune seems to have a jones for Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. The story features a photo of Ellison behind an “ICE Out of MN!” sign and quotes him: “We’ve got a violence crisis. An oligarch crisis. All they ever got for me and for you are thoughts and prayers. But I’m thinking and I’m praying for no kings.”

We’ve got an Ellison crisis. We haven’t seen a king in Minnesota since the legislature let Tim Walz’s 15-month declaration of one-man rule lapse in 2021. Students of ancient history may recall that Ellison was the king’s enforcer for the duration of Walz’s kingship. I’m praying that Ellison returns to private life as the racial hustler he has been always been since he donned the mantle of the Nation of Islam and agitated on its behalf.

If it’s any consolation to the crowd, Minnesota remains a refuge. It is a refuge for illegal alients, left-wing hipsters, and teenagers from other states who long to have their body parts chopped without parental intervention. So we’ve got that going for us, thanks to Walz, Ellison, and Democrat trifecta of 2023-2024.

President Trump will depart his office in January 2029. Tim Walz is contending for the power to continue extend his reign from 2019 to 2031. Lord help us.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
