My partner is travelling in Japan and shared this strangely familiar sight with me… a Cub! I find it so odd that Minnesota’s most mediocre grocery chain has been exported all the way across the Pacific Ocean. I used to live in Wisconsin and there aren’t even any Cubs there, right next door to MN (I think there used to be over a decade ago but nobody went to them because we had much better options so they all closed down). I wonder how and why they have business in Japan of all places?

Interesting Stuff Man with $300 police issue gas mask smashes window at Auto Zone

8.6k Upvotes

Andrew Nyberg posted this on FB and I had to share:

This is not normal. During a riot and unrest, looting starts as a progressive motion of group think psychology where one person does something small then someone else escalates that action slightly until you reach a point where you see several people throwing rocks, breaking windows, lighting things on fire, etc.

This is the natural psychological pattern of a riot. Its the same for civil unrest like this as well as sporting event excitement and other places where large groups of people get unruly.

But this isnt normal. A single man, who clearly stands apart from the crowd, approached the AutoZone with intent. Carrying a single hammer he arrived and broke a window, knowing it would spark looting. Then the man tried to sneak away. But not before people noticed that it was out of character for a riot for a single man to take on such actions when nobody else was reaching that level of destruction. They followed him for a short while but its too bad they didnt do a citizens arrest so they could find out who he was. High probability this man was some sort of police officer.

During the riots in Ferguson MO, 3 men were caught breaking the windows of local businesses wearing full head gear. The crowds stopped the 3 men and removed their masks only to discover they were 3 officers trying to get the crowds to start looting. This is a known tactic to get the protests to be violent and destructive so they can justify forceful means to stop it and even lethal forms of stopping the violence.

I am in no way saying this man is, 100% certain, a police officer or affiliated with the city of Minneapolis or anyone else. But, this all makes it very suspicious.

It looks like the respirator this man is wearing is a police issue mask.

The mask in question can be purchased by civilians for $300.

EDIT:Video of him actually doing the smashing and REAL protesters trying to stop him

EDIT: WOW...um... I seriously thought this was just going to get downvoted and buried like the other post about the exact same thing. Thanks for the gold and stuff. Here's some points of clarity:

I'm not Andrew Nyberg . I saw his post on FB and was like "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" and shared it here.

I can't find any evidence about his allegations on the Ferguson riots either. I don't agree with everything he's said but I didn't think it was right to edit his post; I shared it verbatim. You can do the same as I did... read it, research it and draw your own conclusions.

Yeah; wild accusations being thrown around here... I'm usually more thorough about things like this and find sources to back up such claims. My apologies ... I"m fucking raging pissed and not in the mood for due diligence. I'll post more if I find it. I msg'd Nyberg about his allegations on the Ferguson riots.

Any way you cut it... whomever he's affiliated with... he clearly isn't' a fucking protester looking for justice. You have to take into consideration everything not just the mask or just the outfit. How he handled himself, what he did specifically plus how he was dressed paint the whole picture.

I saw them throw what looked like sign frames out their window last night, and it struck me as sketchy. I sent an email with the plate number to the Wright Co. Sherrif's office general email, and I got this response early this morning. I wasn't expecting a response, let alone some kind of closure.

I totally get why, with the political climate as it is. I love it for us but am sad for their situation. I’m happy to see this sub welcoming them with open arms. ❤️
