Ruedinger says his message is not directed at Muslims in general only extremists but he says he couldn't fit that word on the sign.

A thug. A loser.
Even money he has no job, lives in his parents' basement, and if he has a job it's at a local McD's.
(Was probably fired from multiple other jobs.)

Donald Trump on Sunday warned darkly of the danger posed by Somali migrants in Minneapolis, a deeply segregated city that has the largest Somali-American community in the US.
Here in Minnesota, youve seen first-hand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with very large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support or approval, the Republican nominee told a rally in the solidly Democratic state, two days before the presidential election.
He then claimed: Some of them [are] joining Isis and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world.
Everybodys reading about the disaster taking place in Minnesota, he added, before claiming, falsely: You dont even have the right to talk about it.

That last whopper was absolutely filthy, so very wrong. Clearly he's trying to make trouble, to get people hurt.
Thanks for this article. Hadn't seen it before you posted it.

(160,656 posts)already raging among the idiot racists, at any rate.
No doubt hearing other racists, only ones more prominent, as they gibber their hatred to crowds does encourage the local inbred idiots to get bolder in their ongoing war against strangers they can terrorize.
It's true, the orange nightmare's racism was completely familiar to us by then.

(115,947 posts)I live in Minneapolis. There are a lot of Somalis in my neighborhood but I've never heard anyone say a negative word about them. However, if you get out in the suburbs and small towns it's a whole different story. People seem to be more prejudiced against people they hardly ever see.

(146,345 posts)His life as a racist incel is going to be pretty bleak, I think. About 6 months in the county lock-up might do him some good, but he's likely to make like-minded friends there.
We have a thriving Somali community here in the Twin Cities. Those immigrants are working hard and trying to make their way in a strange country that has plenty of people who don't like them. The rest of us do what we can to support their struggle.
Racism and Xenophobia exists here, just like it does everywhere. That young fellow needs to get his head straightened out.
