So, 100 Somalis rioted this weekend at Valley Fair?

My few conservative friends on Facebook have been going off all week about the "immense" riot at Valley Fair, claiming it was Somalis, that they had knives and guns, that 200+ police were called, SWAT, K9's, helicopters, etc.

Whereas all the news reports say it was a small incident, no weapons, they arrested 3 guys for minor charges, no mention of their race.

Anyone else seeing shit like this too? Of course they're screaming to "deport them all!", like the racist assholes they are.

According to the Shakopee police it was not a "Somali riot" (among other rumors the report debunked).

But then again, I've unfollowed my few conservative friends on FaceBook for their idiotic posts.

As well as a couple of conservative aunts and uncles.

It's hard to keep ties to your younger days when you grew up in deep-red Michelle Bachmann territory

but have unfollowed on Facebook. That way, their posts do not show up on my newsfeed. I refuse to let their political posts show up on my screen.
