"Minneapolis has gone from the city of Mary Tyler Moore, to a toxic brew in a cesspool of lawlessness. Until big money generators threaten to leave, the mayhem will continue."
Got up this morning and turned on the local news. Mostly to see the weather for the day. However, the lead story on the news was the mayhem (maybe riot), which took place on the evening of July 4th on Boom Island. What was it? Thugs. Lots and lots of thugs, shooting people and using fireworks as weapons. Oh, joy. And this ladies and gentlemen, is yet another reason why most would rather stick their finger down their throat, then go into urban Twin Cities at night.
Mayor Frey was interviewed on the news. He had the same "deer in the headlights" look he had after the Floyd incident. In fact, so many bad things have happened in Minneapolis since he took over, we might have to change his name to Mayor "Fray" instead. He lateraled the ball over to his new police chief. "We need to hire more police officers", she said. Really? From where? Who do you think would want to work in this town without pity?
By the way, do any of these misfits who were shooting fireworks at other people have ANY idea at all, how much damage they can do? I guess they don't care, as they were also shooting guns at each other. And why is that? We want to be more like Chicago. Or Milwaukee. Or Baltimore. At one time, the great city of Minneapolis could look to other cities and collectively shake its head. Now Minneapolis is just one of the bunch.
By the way, did you know that 70 Kia automobiles were stolen in Minneapolis in only two weeks? Some stolen, others carjacked. When is this going to change? When the big players, the big ticket folks start to threaten the city by leaving. Like whom? Like - the Twins. The Timberwolves. The Vikings. Target. Ameriprise. And on and on and on.
Minneapolis has gone from the city of Mary Tyler Moore, to a toxic brew in a cesspool of lawlessness. Until big money generators threaten to leave, the mayhem will continue.
