Strange.
The Somalis are know to be such a peaceful, kind people.

Members of Minneapolis' Somali-American community say one of their main business districts -- often referred to as "The Somali Mall" -- is so ridden with crime, they no longer feel safe.
Located at 24th Street East and home to dozens of businesses, more than 100 911 calls have been placed from the location since last October, according to police records. Problems include assaults, thefts, fights, and property damage.
"I know a friend of mine being beaten up here badly and took his car," customer Asad Abdulahi recalled Monday. The owner of Juba Cafe, located across the street from the mall, said she's called police before and has customers who've left her business only to be robbed at gunpoint while walking back to their cars.
"Everybody is saying this place is not safe," Hali Mohamud said through an interpreter.
Others explained the security concerns are emblematic of larger problems in the Somali-American community, including a high unemployment rate and widespread poverty.
"We don't get any help," Murio Khayre said, also through an interpreter.
While reporters requested an interview with Minneapolis Police Department officials to discuss the community's concerns, a spokesperson replied with a statement, saying, "Violent crime in the Third Precinct is down 12% while proactive stops by our officers are up 55% this past week. "

There's a big part of your problems, pal.
Welcome to America! Now, speak English!
Would you like us to move in and arrest all of the bad guys and be called racist and Islamophobic?
No, thanks. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken don't need any more reasons to make stupid speeches.
Send em all back. Good grief.
Who makes it unsafe? Not Whitey.
It’s their ‘No Go Zone’
So it’s their problem.
They need to fight their own battles.
It sounds like the “Sammies” are having some “multiculturalism and diversity” problems.
Can’t do that. Thousands more are coming here to keep this filth and garbage, company.
“wew dont get any help!”
Translation.........”You havent given us enough free sh*t yet!!”
I PRAY they all leave and head back home!! They have invaded Minnesota and are buzzing arond worse than mosquitos!!
Yeah, I don’t personally know anyone who is stupid enough o shop there.
Call Obama.
Long story short...James spoke at length about the huge problems that Somalis who've illegally entered Kenya (Kenya and Somalia share a border) cause for the country.Terrorism (that huge terror attack in Nairobi was done by Somalis) and crime are rampant,he said,where the Somalis are found.
Strange.
The Somalis are know to be such a peaceful, kind people.
I hope they all kill each other; end of the problem.
Maybe they should start their own community crime watch.
“Maybe they should start their own community crime watch”
Nah. They’d want guns.
To make Minnesota great again, send all the Somalis back to Somalia.
Maybe they should start their own community crime watch.

Their heritage doesn’t really have a good grasp of a civil society.
Maybe they should call LA South Koreans for advice.
Great, those photos will be in my nightmares......
That’s right, speak English and jobs may he easier to get.
If the police do get more proactive as far as the crime goes, how long do you think before they start crying racism?
