Minneapolis keeps proving the critics right.

Pro-Trump independent journalist Nick Sortor was violently robbed Sunday while filming in the Cedar Riverside area of Minneapolis. Video shows a masked woman ripping a camera from Sortor’s hands while he sat behind the wheel of his vehicle. When he jumped out to stop the theft, the situation turned dangerous fast.

As the suspects sped off, Sortor grabbed the door handle and was dragged down the street when his hand became trapped. After the car escaped, a man approached Sortor screaming profanities, telling him to get out of the area and calling him a coward. Other activists quickly surrounded Sortor and colleague Cam Higby, filming and yelling instead of helping.

“They just stole my camera,” Sortor said on video, visibly shaken.

Sortor later wrote that nobody stepped in to help and said the area needs serious federal attention. The FBI responded shortly after the footage went public, posting, “We’re on it.”

This was not an isolated incident. Just last week, Sortor was attacked while covering a leftist mob outside an ICE facility in Minneapolis. His vehicle was vandalized, windows were smashed with frozen water bottles, and rioters threatened his life. He said he was forced to drive through the crowd after repeatedly warning people to move.

Police later detained Sortor after rioters falsely claimed he and Higby were armed.

This is what passes for normal now in Democrat-run cities. Journalists are hunted, mobs feel untouchable, and bystanders pull out phones instead of helping. Lawlessness is no longer tolerated quietly. It is celebrated.

Americans who believe in free speech and a free press should be paying attention. When mobs decide who gets to report and who gets attacked, the rule of law is already in trouble.
