Frey-baby - unplugged

"We have spent much time as of late, worrying about contagion from the COVID - 19 virus. Meanwhile, we have suffered under another contagion. Urban lawlessness. It is now in most bug blue cities and still looking to claim more victims." 

Oh my! And we thought it was just happening in CHOP in Seattle. Oh no, my friend. It is also happening in good old Minneapolis. And why is that? Seems the vocal minority of residents have chosen lawlessness and anarchy over law and order. And the Minneapolis Police Department? They have turned out to be as welcomed in certain parts of the city as a case of shingles.

No this is bad, really bad. The sleepy little village of Minneapolis is turning out to be a smaller version of Chicago. And why not? Seems we have many refugees from Chicago living here now. The once peaceful folk of the City of Lakes have decided to mix it up a bit. How much so? In the last week, 44 people have been shot. And that includes the mayhem which happened in Uptown where it was the biggest mass shooting just happened that most folk can remember.

Who is responsible for all this? Three guesses. First guess, the Governor. Next guess, the Mayor of Minneapolis. Third guess, the Minneapolis City Council. Which guess is correct? They all are. It is a tie for first place. However, I might have to give a slight edge to the Mayor of Minneapolis - better known as the Frey-baby. At the end of the day, it is the Mayor who is responsible for the health and well being of the citizens of the city he governs.

When John Donne wrote "No man is an island", he must not have known about Jacob Frey from the future. Frey is a definite island. He is not thought of very highly by the citizens and patriots in Minnesota, and the socialist goof balls in Minneapolis think he is a turn coat as he sided against getting rid of the cops. Instead, he wants to disembowel the cops, but still keep them around. Make them into unarmed Bobbies, like in London.

Okay - here is the punchline. Minneapolis is a mess right now, and there is no end in sight. There is no hero on the horizon (other than our President), who can restore law and order. For sale signs are popping up all over town, and the unfortunate folks who are now trying to escape might be too late. Why? For a sale to conclude, there must be a willing seller and a willing buyer. Who in the world these days, is going to be a willing buyer? Nobody, unless that person is Rip Van Winkle.

We have spent much time as of late, worrying about contagion from the COVID - 19 virus. Meanwhile, we have suffered under another contagion. Urban lawlessness. It is now in most big blue cities, and still looking to claim more victims.

Jacob Frey - you will be tagged with the loss of Minneapolis. It is now inches away from becoming totally hollowed out, with all memories of our national and local history destroyed. Nice job young man. Now get the hell out of here and go back home.
