Matt Walsh on Minneapolis: “The whole city must be taught a lesson. How much do we have to deal with from these people? They must be punished.”
Walsh: “They've gone full Canada in Minneapolis, and and they need to be dealt with. ... It's a city full of overgrown children that won't learn anything unless they're forced to learn it the hard way. Well, it's time for the hard way.”

MATT WALSH (HOST): But as pathetic as they are, these people are managing to do real damage. As you just saw, they stole weapons from outside the back of the ICE vehicle. But they also took more than that. Late last night, as various antifa livestreams revealed that these domestic terrorists have obtained a significant amount of documentation from inside the ICE vehicles that were left behind as the mob surrounded them. And specifically, according to those livestreams, they've obtained the full names of many ICE agents, location of the hotels that they're staying in, including the room numbers, and so on. They've also obtained FBI badges and badge numbers, and they're broadcasting it all over the Internet. This is unequivocally domestic terrorism. We need to see prosecutions and crackdowns as soon as possible for everybody involved in this. They're all on camera.
The residents of Minnesota are waging a campaign of terrorism against federal law enforcement, which is carrying out lawful orders. Thousands more federal agents need to be sent to Minneapolis at a minimum. That's what sane Americans want to see, the restoration of law and order. And indeed, that does appear to be what's coming next. Within minutes of the shooting, Federal Bureau of Prison guards were on the scene keeping the agitators at bay and preventing ICE from being overwhelmed. They prevented ICE agents from being dragged away by the mob and murdered, which is what they wanted. They, apparently, weren't able to prevent some ICE vehicles from being looted, but there was — they did prevent any loss of life. Fox also reported that ICE's special response team, which is their SWAT team essentially, deployed as well. So this was a unified immediate response to flood the area with manpower. And very soon, we can expect many more federal agents in Minneapolis because the population is clearly out of control.
And they've gone full Canada in Minneapolis, and and they need to be dealt with. All of their screeching and whining needs to be ignored. Minneapolis has been ground zero for lawless chaos for years now. The rest of us are sick of it. The whole city must be taught a lesson. How much do we have to deal with from these people? They must be punished. It's a city full of overgrown children that won't learn anything unless they're forced to learn it the hard way. Well, it's time for the hard way.
