Restaurant Owner Whose Business Burned Calls For Justice For George Floyd

The Somali American mother I wrote about. Whose restaurant did survive the pandemic but could not survive the race riots. Violence is not the answer our youths must learn. As Average Mohamed Organization we intend to redouble our efforts saying so. Peace propagation is one of our Mission and Goals. Even then. She says "My heart is broken. My mind is broken," she says. "I know I can't come back from this. But this can be replaced. George's life cannot. George's life was more important. That man that got killed in the most inhumane way. I hope he gets justice."
This is our American stoicism. We value Justice above all. We pray to an end to race riots. The rioters desecrate our most cherished American values of Peace too. Wrong does not make wrong right. But our community wants Justice too. Understanding it is the basis of Peace too. Racism must go! That too is our mission value and goals.
There is a Go Fund Me page for this woman in the comments section. Please help out.

George Floyd Death is now an international moment about racism. Iran which hangs gays, minorities and women unchaste is trolling America. China spokesperson trolled America with three words “ I can’t Breathe”. The same China that unleashed racism on blacks in their country. Told black people to stay in China are not allowed to post racism, beatings and denial of service. China has the greatest concentration camp post Nazi Of Uighur Muslims. Solidarity marches for black people. Berlin, London, Toronto and New Zealand. Africa wants to sanction and visa ban American officials for racism. African Union offered travel advisory for its citizens. We were the city on a shining hill. Today our soft power is in the shits. Our elite, Political correctness, Culture wars in America let this happen. Racism let this happen. I wrote about how racism and national security paranoia denies equal opportunity, does not allow networks and resources denied. Systemic barriers put up by some in government. Read my articles posted here www.averagemohamed.com. Racism, Islamophobia, nativist thinking that sees foreign born as enemy, homophobia, antisemitism, even antichristianism. America be America. The hope of mankind will you. Let me leave you with this ISIS is even trolling America. Get outraged will you. We cannot afford this Racism anymore. Our standing is now in doubt so is our American Collective Morality. Do something about it. If you think this does not affect me. You must not eat, work or live in our globalized world.

A seismic shift in America on police brutality. Pushed by public now adopted by Police Departments across America. Police have billions of interaction with us with civility, decorum, rights and respect. Maybe a million of Police Brutality. The ones doing the billion interactions have had enough. The Thin Blue Line of Silence that protected the bad Cops is finally cracked. The cost has become unbearable. Corporations, Politicians and Public crisis led to this. We remember Collin Kaepernick kneeling against police brutality was seen as insult to Police and America. Look who is kneeling now. Our Great American cops across America. The veil of Police Brutality has been started to lift. Most Cops get it. Why we at Average Mohamed believe in America. Our Government does the right thing when forced into choices. Damn, why must we force our government into doing the right thing? That unfortunately is the American way. From Abolitionist, women suffrage, civil rights, gay rights to police brutality now. People’s power. We Americans hold our government accountable. Power is only rented never permanent from the people. Justice is the true treatment to get peace. In America the enfranchisement of Freedom continuously expands. Democracy is a beautiful thing.

Bob Marley - Burnin and Lootin

Rumors, conspiracy theories of white supremacists, antifa, rogue individuals, youths and criminals are running wild in Minneapolis. My beautiful city is burning. Our Police is overwhelmed. When governor says there more hooligans than police. You worry. The National Guard is out tonight. I would love to make our understanding peacefully protest. That opportunity is slipping away. Race riots coming to your city now. Today I played a song. A Bob Marley song that describes my city today. They burnin and looting tonight. We are under curfew. Prisoners in our own house. I can’t watch News got small kids and I never ever want them to see ugly America. To me I am biased. America means hope, prosperity, opportunity,freedom and Justice. I taught tens of thousands kids that. Today I despair. My beautiful city is burnin and looting tonight. God Save our America. We need a better way that does not dehumanize us all. I told my kids about race relations. Respect of Police and be aware of their God given constitutional rights even against Law Enforcement even if we are black. Racism today beat corona virus as our issues. God Help America. Because it’s people and government do not seem to understand each other today. So staying put at home. So should you. Listening to this song. Now I get the song. But damn my city is burnin and looting tonight. I despair.

Goerge Floyd death was catastrophe. Folks are mad. We sympathize but then agitators used anger to mayhem. Businesses being vandalized. Like the images I share. A Mother, a Somali woman worked hard to open her restaurant. Corona virus quarantine nearly destroyed her bussiness. But she will not survive the race riots. This was a minority owned bussiness. The riots shut down their bussiness for good. Wrong does not make wrong right. Violence mayhem and looting never uplifted any society. I have a friend who posted online Burn It All Down. What did this somali Mother ever do for her bussiness to be vandalized. I asked him that and urged he take down the social media post. He threatened me physical harm. The anger in our youths is real. Many think anarchism is the solution. Who believe without costs to all in America no systemic change will happen. Here I am quarantined in Minneapolis now curfew in Minneapolis. We are literally throwing our baby: Peace, Law and Order, Civility and the right to peaceful protests out with the bath water. We urge let there be justice for George Floyd. The peace we all seek lies in justice. We say to our youths in America. Violence is not the answer. It destroys us. When minorities have so little power and economic means.

A Day Mcknight w:Credits

Modern Policing by Saint Paul Police Department. Working with kids of color independent of Law Enforcement issues. Creating space and understanding between our youth and Police. We worked for two years on this projects. Listen to what the kids wanted you all to know. Pride in their police department outreach program all year round. Not when there is a headline. These youths shared their experiences at schools and other venues. Cops playing basket ball with them. Their first contact with police is not crime and disorder but one of friendship and mentor ship by them. It is leadership by Police Chief Todd Axtell and Deputy Chief Paul Lovino at Saint Paul Police that made it a requirement for our work as Average Mohamed Organization. We know clearly Racism and Islamophobia can lead our youth astray. Respect for Police and community working together. This builds resilience and understanding of our Cops and community as one. Kids created this video and recorded it and even edited it themselves. The Saint Paul police Department made it all possible. Yep, Modern Policing for our times. Pray for Minneapolis, my Home Sweet Home.

Race relations between the Minneapolis Police Department and Black Community is bad. The death of a Blackman George Floyd at the hands of Police outraged Minnesotans of all creed. The manner he died so cavalier to it. I used to run a store right across from where it happened. I know the policeman involved. There is genuine outrage by Mayor, Governor, elected officials and public on this death. We had bullet proof glass to serve our customers at that store. Crime went down in the neighborhood. I asked corporate to take down the bullet proof glass. I know this cop because he would come to my store. I could see crime go down thanks to MPD. But this death deserves Justice. 4 officers were fired for it. Demonstrations are happening. Pray for our Police Department at this time. Pray for our community of color too. We need desperately a new approach to one another that does not dehumanize us all. If there is no Justice. Then there will be No Peace either. We need in America a change in Police and community of colors relations. Saint Paul Police Department gets it. We have worked a project with them over 2 years. Working within our community before headline. Building resilience and understanding and goodwill amongst us all. Modern Policing Approach. Pray we find peace and justice in Minneapolis for all.

Minneapolis man indicted on fentanyl distribution charges

The silent opioid epidemic. Last summer we burried my nephew for overdose. Last month we buried another for the same thing. This opioid epidemic is sweeping the youths of my community. These drugs come from abroad Mexico and China. Why is this issue a concern. We have had former drug addicts and gang leaders join Al Shabab and ISIS after their life reform. When some find religion they find the violent form which fits in their life outlook. A concern. We are a community in denial about opioid abuse. Our parents do not know how to deal with it. Most parents reinforce the faith because we all believe Allah subhanahu wataala is always the solution. When one has no scientific basis of treatment options. We fear what form of Islam they the desperate find. Already extremists promise an after life of virgins and bliss to them. A simplification of life into terrorism. Mark my words this will quickly become a National Security Concern. I buried two kids under 20 years old. College kids in school. Our future of our people. This guy was one of their dealer. Hope they arrest even more. Why should Mexico and China rob us of our future. We worry on the coming impact on radicalization coming soon
