"Do you want to drive into downtown Minneapolis at night? Get car-jacked? Robbed? Shot at with fireworks? Shot at with a gun? Sucker punched and a victim of a 'beat down'?"
It is summertime. How are things going in our fine City of Lakes? Right now, the city leaders are on a high, since the so-called "Pride Month" was such a smash hit. And to top it all off, having TS here for the "Swifties" was wonderful! Now we have the "Taste of Minnesota" going on, and everyone seems to be on a sugar high. Are we all going to start to move back into Minneapolis now? Is it safe and sound? Not hardly.
Wait a minute! It must be safer to be downtown on the Fourth of July now since the Stone Arch Bridge was closed! Remember last year? The Stone Arch Bridge was the epicenter for all the mutts to shoot fireworks at each other (plus the cops). Here is the problem in a nutshell. The mutts, the fatherless young kids who are feral at night, just moved their location. Instead of causing mayhem on the Stone Arch Bridge, they moved over to Lake Calhoun. And there, the chaos continued.
Many of the people arrested or detained on the Fourth of July were kids. Kids? What were they doing out at night? Where did they get the fireworks? The guns? Is anybody in charge around here? When I was a kid (meaning under 18), most of our two-parent households kept a keen eye on us. The chances of us being out marauding and rioting at night were slim to none - and Slim just died. Today, however, with our plethora of dysfunctional (or non-existent) homes in Minneapolis, it is anything goes. And the police? They are target number one, to receive a face full of dangerous fireworks.
We can dance around this issue like we have for decades now or face it full-on. Minneapolis, with its cadre of feral youth running wild, is nothing more than a training ground for future felons. However, since our Soros-funded DAs will not throw the book at these young thugs, they just sink deeper into the depravity of crime. Left untreated or unhealed, these young thugs have the strong possibility of either a jail cell or a pine box in their future.
Minneapolis. The city of Mary Tyler Moore. The City of Lakes. The Mill City. All good titles from yesteryear. Now it is our town without pity. Do you want to drive into downtown Minneapolis at night? Get car-jacked? Robbed? Shot at with fireworks? Shot at with a gun? Sucker punched and a victim of a "beat down"?
No thanks. I will stay in the outer "burbs" where we have some law and order. Is it perfect out here? No, but it is close.
Unfortunately, these roving gangs ARE capable of roving, and are surely headed for the suburbs where there is even LESS resistance.
