I was watching a segment tonight about Noem and the 2nd Amendment and comments she made in her book;
Like most stuff in the book, total BS. I will confess I didn’t read the book, because ghost written books by politicians is usually boring and conflated, and I know all I need to know about Noem. But I found the above statement hilarious because it couldn’t be farther from the truth.
I participated in the BLM rally, I walked for a couple hours downtown but didn’t follow the protest to the Mall where a couple of latch key kids threw some pebbles at the police. Never saw a single biker all day. There was a motorcycle gang in Sioux Falls, but they weren’t the kind of gang that you want showing up to a BLM rally to protect police. I saw about a dozen of them hanging out DTSF the day before wearing their colors and jackets. They seem to be focused on drinking beer and not protecting police. They were a chapter of major criminal gang. There is also a rumor circulating that this gang was actually in town to commit burglaries during the protests. That one has been hard to prove since there is NO transparency in the police department. I also remember a flyer circulating on Facebook that a school bus full of Anti-Fa was coming from Fargo. That was pretty funny and surprised Noem didn’t reference it in the book. The day was beautiful and full of love. Like I said, I never made it to the mall, but the time I participated it was peaceful. There was NO bikers and NO anti-fa at the rally. The only problem was a couple of 8 year old boys that were bored at the mall, but that doesn’t make for an interesting narrative.
