Shivanthi Sathanandan’s tune on law and order took a drastic shift after surviving a bloody and brutal attack.
The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party official took to Facebook to reveal she’d survived an armed attack carried out by four “young men” in the driveway of her Minneapolis home.
She also shared a bloody picture of herself showing what appeared to be a serious wound to her face/head.
Shivanthi Sathanandan details surviving bloody attack.
Sathanandan wrote the following, in part, on Facebook describing the attack:
This is the face of a mother who just listened to her four year old daughter screaming non-stop, her 7 year old son wailing for someone to come help because bad guys are murdering his Mama in the back yard, her neighbors screaming in outrage… all while being beaten with guns and kicks and fists. I have a broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising and cuts all over my body. And I have rage. These men knew what they were doing. I have NO DOUBT they have done this before. Yet they are still on OUR STREETS. Killing mothers. Giving babies psychological trauma that a lifetime of therapy cannot erase. With no hesitation and no remorse. I’m now part of the statistics. I wasn’t silent when I fought these men to save my life and my babies, and I won’t be silent now. We need to get illegal guns off of our streets, catch these young people who are running wild creating chaos across our city and HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY AND PROSECUTE THEM.

Sathanandan previously had an anti-police stance.
The Democrat official’s stance on community protection has definitely changed since the attack occurred. Previously, she called for dismantling the Minneapolis Police Department.
“We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE. The. Minneapolis. Police. Department. As allies, what can we do right now? LISTEN and LEARN from our Black siblings. And then AMPLIFY this message right now, in this moment. MPD has systematically failed the Black Community, they have failed ALL OF US. It’s time to build a new infrastructure that works for ALL communities. If you are still disagreeing with that BASIC FACT, I’m not sure what to say to you,” Sathanandan wrote in a 2020 Facebook post, according to Fox News.
She also supported police being removed from Minneapolis schools, and wrote, “Thank you, Minneapolis School Board Members, for getting this done! Exactly as it should be – MPD should have no place in our children’s schools.”
Now, after surviving a brutally violent attack, she’s ready to start locking people up and losing the keys.
“Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS,” Shivanthi Sathanandan wrote in her now-viral Facebook post.
That’s a stark shift from wanting to “dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department.” It’s amazing how some people are against law and order…..right until they experience crime. Then, everyone agrees having police is a good thing.
Hopefully, Sathanandan is able to fully recover and get through this tough time. Odds are high you won’t see her call for dismantling the cops again in the near future.
Give her time. After this blows over she`ll go back to what she was: another f*cked up woke liberal in this woke a** city. These people never learn.
Oh well life’s a bitch and then you die.
She wanted chaos, she got chaos…Doesn’t feel good does it?
Hardy har har. One of the few joys left in our rapidly decaying country is watching the left get hoisted on their own petards.
🤣 she wanted crime, she got it. she deserves everything she gets. I have zero sympathy for her.
These are the people who deserve to be victims of crime. Sorry for her kids who were traumatized but she supported this nonsense a few years ago.
Wild guess, the people the police “failed” attacked her. Sorry, but enjoy the mess you created. Maybe call the ACLU, BLM, or your own Democratic Party the next time you get served by the underserved
How many of us have said or done something terrible that we regret later? I’m pretty sure everyone commenting on this thread has, myself included, more times than we can remember or would like to admit.
The most amazing thing about life, especially as a Christian, is the opportunity to change and lead a completely different life, through the grace of God.
Has she been guilty of spewing horrible rhetoric that feeds the youth that attacked her? Absolutely. Should she be given the opportunity to reverse course, apologize for her past statements, and positively affect change in her community and the rest of the country? Of course she should.
Instead of passing judgment and making fun of a young mother who was savagely attacked in front of her children, we should empathize and give her positive words of encouragement.
Matthew 7 :: NIV. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
