Eye-opening footage has surfaced showing a protester in Minneapolis allegedly taking an expensive camera belonging to conservative figure Nick Souter. Souter reportedly chased after the suspected thief, dragging him towards his girlfriend’s car, which then careened onto the sidewalk.
In a post made by Souter, he mentioned that the woman was part of a crew that had been trailing him and his team throughout the Twin Cities. According to him, one of the individuals boldly grabbed the camera from his hands while they were driving.
“What did she just do?” one friend of Souter’s exclaimed as the car came to a screeching halt.
Souter, visibly upset, jumped from the vehicle, already shouting, “She’s f**king…” He soon found himself in a confrontation with the suspect, who later accused him of theft regarding the $1,000 camera. The two appeared to engage in a heated argument in the footage shared online, with Souter’s car barely in view.
As the chase continued, a right-wing influencer was seen clinging to the suspect’s vehicle’s door handle while she sped off. Souter later described the situation, claiming he was being pursued by a group he referred to as “Somali thugs” prior to the incident.
In her own post, the suspect stated that her “hand got stuck in the door handle” and that she was, in fact, “dragged onto the street.”
The driver, erratically veering onto icy roads, quickly escaped while dragging Souter alongside. According to the video, he lost his footing next to a moving vehicle as he frantically tried to keep up.
“Tell her to give her camera back!” Souter’s cameraman shouted, pursuing Souter.
The footage cuts back to Souter, no longer visible being pulled by the car, leaving it unclear when or how he managed to break free.
Breathless, Souter complained, “They just stole my camera,” as people on the sidewalk began to mock him.
One provocateur taunted him, “This is what you wanted, right? Listen, Mom, you better get out of here right now!”
A group of around eight local residents encircled Souter’s team, insisting they must leave the area.
“No one stepped foot. No one stepped foot,” Souter stammered.
As those surrounding them continued to pressure for their exit, Souter’s cameraman argued their right to remain, citing that “this is the United States of America.”
Souter reiterated his claim that they were being followed by “a group of Somali thugs” and called on the Department of Homeland Security to take action.
The FBI’s rapid response team made a post referencing Souter’s comments, indicating they were “working on it.”
