Shivanthi Sathanandan, a prominent member of the Minnesota DFL Party and a fervent advocate for cutting police spending, lately saw the unpleasant reality of crime, which she had previously believed could be reduced by social programs.
Sathanandan, a woman of Indian and Sri Lankan descent, was brutally beaten and had her car taken in front of her young children in a tragic event. She is now supporting stricter penalties for youthful criminals and thanking the police officers who helped her.
Sathanandan posted in great detail on Facebook about the event and provided a graphic photo of her face. “You could have been reading the obituary for me and my children today. But instead, I’m here. To write this. Look at my face. These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city. And this will not be the last you hear from me about this.”
Attack on a Minneapolis family home by armed intruders. The homeowner, Sathanandan, was viciously attacked, suffering a fractured leg, lacerations to her skull, and excruciating bruises. At gunpoint, even her kids and neighbors were placed in jeopardy.
See her account below:
Yesterday my children and I were violently car jacked in the driveway of our home in Minneapolis. Four very young men, all carrying guns, beat me violently down to the ground in front of our kids. The young men held our neighbors up at gunpoint when they ran over and tried to help me. All in broad daylight.
Look at my face in the picture. This is the face of a mother who just had the sh$t beaten out of her. A mother whose only thought was, “let me run far enough and fight hard enough so that my kids have a chance to get away.” 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. PERIOD.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.
You could have been reading the obituary for me and my children today. But instead I’m here. To write this.
Look at my face. These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city. And this will not be the last you hear from me about this.

Those who remember her former viewpoint may clearly see the hypocrisy. Sathanandan formerly favored abolishing the police force that she now supports. Critics claim that her example demonstrates the serious dangers of enacting harsh regulations without taking into account how they would affect public safety.
In her post from June 2020, Sathanandan stated: “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE The Minneapolis Police Department”
She added, “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.”
Following the event, Sathanandan expressed gratitude for the help of the Minneapolis 4th Precinct Officers, Mayor Frey, Chief O’Hara, paramedics, neighbors, friends, and DFL family, saying,
“I’m so grateful for this community that wraps us in love.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to Sathanandan and requested a comment if she still stands by her previous calls to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department following her traumatic experience.
According to Alpha News, “The Minneapolis Police Department confirmed that it received a report about the alleged carjacking.”
Typical libtard, full of $hit! Reality is a bitch but they choose to ignore facts with their “good intentions”!
Are we supposed to feel sorry for her after she has opted to destroy law and order by defunding our law enforcement? Not on your life. About time, the left gets a taste of their own vile medicine.
good she got what she deserves .
I ONLY HAVE TO SAY “DAH”. WHAT DID SHE THINK WOULD HAPPEN WHEN SHE GAVE THE COMMUNITY OVER TO CRIMINALS. THEY WOULDN’T FIND HER TOO WHEN THEY COMMITTED THEIR MANY ACTS OF CRIME AGAINST THEIR COMMUNITY. SHE’S S TYPICAL DEM. ROB THE COMMUNITY OF IT’S RESOURCES AND MISDIRECT RESOURCES TO THE CRIMINALS THEN ONCE CRIME TOUCHES HER OPS, SORRY MY BAD. LETS DO THE RIGHT THING. I SEE THE PIC AND THAT BLOOD LOOKS WEIRD. NOT LIKE BLOOD TO ME. AND HER HAIR IS TO NEAT. BEEN THERE DONE THAT YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS KICKED THEN LOOK LIKE YOU JUST PUT ON SOME BAD MAKEUP. I ONLY FEEL BAD FOR HER CHILDREN. THEY ARE THE ONLY TRUE VICTIMS. SHE THOU BROUGHT IT ON DOWN ON HERSELF AND SHE IS THE REASON WHY HER KIDS ARE SUFFERING. SHE CHOSE TO BE A ANTI-POLICE PERSON. SHE CHOSE TO PUT CRIMINALS OVER POLICE OFFICERS AND THE COMMUNITY SAFETY. SHE CHOSE TO ALLOW CRIMINALS TO GO “UNPUNISHED” ALL WHILE BARKING THEY SHE WANTS TO “DISARM LAW ABIDING AND LEGAL CARRYING GUN OWNERS”. NOW THAT SHE SEES IT’S NOT LEGAL OWNERS BUT THE CRIMINALS. SHE SEES THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH “ILLEGAL OWNERS”. “DAH!”. WE FIRST NEED TO GIVE POLICE BACK THEIR IMMUNITY. NO IMMUNITY NO JUSTICE FOR ALL. A POLICE OFFICER LIKE A SOLDIER TAKES THE OATH TO SERVE AND PROTECT AT THE RISK OF DEATH. THAT’S WHY OBAMA PAINTED THEM FOR AMBUSH AND MURDER JULY 2016, POLICE OFFICERS NEED THEIR IMMUNITY BACK SO THEY KNOW WHEN THEY ROUND UP THESE SO CALLED CRIMINALS FOR HER SHE WON’T TURN AROUND AND HAVE THE OFFICERS GO TO JAIL FOR ABUSE OF THE CRIMINAL. SHE IS THE PREVERBAL ASS-O-CRAT. NEVER WANTED TO HELP KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE. ALWAYS GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO CRIMINALS AND DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. HECK GIFTING OUR NATION TO ILLEGAL INVADERS ATTHE EXPENSE OF AMERICAN LIVES, LIVELYHOODS AND DREAMS. DEMS ONLY CARE ABOUT THE LAW WHEN THEY ARE THE VICTIM. AND ONCE THEY GET THEIR JUSTICE. ALL BETS ARE OFF. AND IT’S BACK TO LETTING CRIMINALS WALK THE STREETS WHILE AMERICANS ARE PUT IN HARMS WAY CAUSE DEMS GIFTED CRIMINALS WITH ALL THE RIGHTS MEANT FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. I BET ONCE SHE GETS HER JUSTICE IT WILL BA ALL HANDS ON DECK AGAIN TO DEFUND, DISMANTLE AND CLOSE OF JAILS. TELL HER WELCOME TO OUR WORLD. WELCOME TO THE IDIOT IDEA THEY CHOSE FOR THE NATION. WHERE CRIMINALS RULE AND LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ARE STRIPPED OUR OUR FREEDOMS, LIBERTIES AND THE THOUGHT OF SAFETY PERIOD. VOTE DEMS OUT OF OFFICE AND REELECT TRUMP SO HE WILL DO IT.
