You know, I have lived in Texas since early 1979, but sometimes even that long does not erase thought from Philadelphia where I grew up. I saw the note asking if this was a hoax or a joke, and then the line about Flyers threatening looting.

For some reason, my mind immediately jumped to the hockey team and the thought that they had always been called the Broad Street Bullies, so it was quite believable to me.

I've seen photos of the flyers posted on our local Fakebook discussion group. After seeing them and following the links, they look like a scam trying to take advantage of the ongoing situation. Some of them were posted/found in Flower Mound, not Highland Village. Don't think they're really from BLM or Antifa, nor do I think they're some "head fake" by some alt-right supremacist group either. :yawn

Apparently there's a Highland Village suburb of St Paul and the flyers were posted there originally.

Highland Village is the shopping area of Highland Park, at the southwestern end of Saint Paul. It's centered around Ford Parkway, which had a complete Ford automotive plant that ran from 1924 or so until 2006-7.
The area is directly across the Mississippi via large bridge from Minnehaha Falls park in Minneapolis. It's also the only part of St Paul where Jews weren't redlined from owning property until the mid-1960s. Hence, it has 4 synagogues and a fairly active Jewish population. Also lots of immigrants and newly-middle-class brown people; the smaller houses are surprisingly affordable.

(pardon my captain obvious impression here; I took a while before typing to wipe away the apoplectic spittle from the keyboard.)

So what we have here is a classic little protection racket. "Nice little place you kikes got here. Be a shame if it were to burn up."
Alternately, I'm reminded of the "taxes" (backed up by murder) that were levied on French Jews in Algeria to fund the guerrilla war being waged against the broader French government in 1954-63.

I bet it could be tied directly to BLM, and via them to the both the DFL power structure and AntiFa thru State Attorney General (and assistant head of the Democratic National Committee) Keith Ellison.
So of course no investigation will be done.
This is long-game stuff the revolutionary left is doing.
