Remember the 1990s and 2000s? When militant "militias" who rejected government authority were the boogieman of the hour?
You do, and I do. But the left and media apparently don't.
Leftists in Minneapolis have been setting up checkpoints to scan drivers' licenses for suspected ICE vehicles on the city's south side:

They literally blocking vehicles, checking IDs and scanning license plates of people who try to pass through the area from 32nd to 34th and Cedar… pic.twitter.com/hynXcoY5QU
After a few days of apparent acquiescence, the Minneapolis Police Department finally reasserted some control over the situation:
After days of being allowed to terrorize the community, MPD finally dismantled the insurgent “checkpoint.”

The thugs remain undeterred, openly stating that these blockades are easy to set up and calling for even more in order to build momentum. pic.twitter.com/R1dRgSo0N2
I'm not the only Twin Cities resident to have thought that Jacob Frey and his administration were never going to cross the left's mob.
But all apparently isn't well on the other side of the barricades.
Will Stancil - the endlessly smug influencer, lawyer, and former candidate for the Minneapolis City Council - was a golden child of "the resistance", until, suddenly, he wasn't.

On the one hand, it's a little comical - like a bunch of grade school kids arguing over whether someone got tagged or not:
Every line in the punching of Will Stancil helps paint a picture of leftoid society

On the other? It's what happens when idealists like Stancil run into ideologues and "true believers" (or just goons, whether paid or not); it's all about who is more committed, and the idealists rarely win that one:

Speaking of goons and the left eating their own - remember William Kelly? The guy arrested for the attack on Cities Church in Saint Paul a few weeks ago for his foul-mouthed and scrupulously filmed ranting at worshippers?
BREAKING - Just days after being arrested, paid leftist agitator William Kelly, who travels state to state harassing ICE, stormed a church and demanded churchgoers publicly denounce ICE and stand with Somalians and Latinos while swearing at parents and children. pic.twitter.com/bBkofSN7fQ

Which is, by the way, not a new thing for him?
This man, William Kelly, a ring leader for the mob that stormed a Southern Baptist Church yesterday, is part of a group that has so severely harassed Christ Church in DC that they sent a church member to the hospital w/ a shattered eardrum. Details 👇

Indeed, he's built a bit of a lifestyle:

Yesterday's post on agitator William Kelly shared a bit about his run-ins with law enforcement prior to his acts at Cities Church in Saint Paul MN.
As many now know, he is receiving financial help via @gofundme donors.
It's safe to say that donors are actively… https://t.co/roQ8BM6fWX pic.twitter.com/Gl5mYHuapY
Kelly has that whole "federal charges that could lead to a ten-year sentence" thing to deal with - so he started a GoFundMe to pay for his legal bills. I'm not going to link to it, but it's raised about $120K.
More or less predictably, some on the right have pointed out that GoFundMe supposedly forbids raising money for criminal ventures.
But more interestingly, he's apparently been getting flak from the left, as some have apparently claimed he's profiteering from his...er, traveling around and shouting at people's businesses.
Kelly responds (language perhaps less safe for work than any video you'll see today)
😂 He didn’t know Democrats eat their own kind. Dude is crashing out after hearing Minnesotans are angry he raised money for himself and not one of their corrupt community organizations.

The guy's nothing if not consistent.
The French Revolution collapsed when the revolutionaries ate each other.
Here's hoping Minneapolis's "revolutionaries" have a very French day.
