Structure CMS™ MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Democratic candidate running for the 67a District seat in the Minnesota State House terrorized a residential neighborhood on August 15th, screaming at school-aged children numerous obscenities with an erected public-address system of sorts – while these kids were standing in their front yard.

On August 11th, John Thompson defeated fellow Democrat Huong Murphy during the Democratic primaries in an effort to fill the seat that will be fought for later this year in the Minnesota State House.
Then, just four days later, Thompson entered the residential neighborhood of Hugo in Minneapolis to scream at residents, due to the fact that Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis President Bob Kroll lives there.

Thompson hurled insult after insult, screaming that “Blue lives don’t fucking matter,” and that the “Grand Wizard” resides within the residential neighborhood of Hugo.
It was a particularly vile display, with Thompson directing his antagonistic rhetoric even against people simply standing on their front lawn with their children present.
Some commenters online were seemingly in support of the nonsense displayed by Thompson, leveraging the argument of “what would you suggest that the frustrated masses do?”
What is he frustrated with exactly that is the fault of the young kids he is cursing and screaming at in front of their home?

At least one person online pointed out that perhaps yelling at “young kids” is perhaps not the best way for anyone to willingly digest whatever message Thompson is attempting to convey.
What was more dangerous in all this was how riled up Thompson was and the influence he bore over the crowd during his time speaking, which was several minutes at length during the lengthy demonstration in the residential area.
One Twitter used pointed out that if Thompson cheered on for the crowd to engage any of the houses present to further terrorize the residents – then they’ll likely would’ve done just that:
“One word from this cretin and the mob would have stormed the house and burned it down. Screaming at/swearing at/terrorizing/threatening the families and neighbors of political adversaries is now a mainstream tactic. This will get bad. Arm up.”
This is getting out of control. Sick of this crap. F this cop with batons/pepper spray. Where are the Marines?

While the Twitter user’s take on the matter may seem like a mischaracterization of things – we have seen more and more instances of BLM and Antifa invading residential neighborhoods.
While media outlets like NBC claimed in June that Antifa and protesters coming to residential areas were “false rumors,” here we are today.
All the sudden, it’s not a “rumor” – it’s a reality that quietly slipped in via these protesters and agitators edging closer and closer to these areas while certain media outlets conveniently forgot that they said this wouldn’t happen and there’d be nothing to worry about.
There also comes the question of when the line is crossed between freedom of speech & assembly and targeted harassment.
Exactly! This is terrorism
& needs to be fiercely dealt

This gathering wasn’t at a public park, a commercial district, a courthouse or state building – this was specifically brought to the home of someone called out by Thompson and numerous others present. Furthermore, signage was displayed referring to union president Kroll by name.
The irony of the display was that Thompson proclaimed that he was being “terrorized by this fucking Klansman”- while being completely oblivious to him terrorizing an entire neighborhood with his hateful monologue.
During the rant that Thompson went on, he made reference to how Minneapolis was essentially “burned down” after George Floyd died, and mentioned that “burning Hugo down,” could be accomplished with little effort:
“This whole goddam state burned down for $20, you think we give a fuck about burning Hugo down?”
This is what it has come down to – someone running for public office that wants to terrorize residents in front of their homes and threaten that the proverbial mob could care less if they burned down their neighborhoods.
