After the latest spasm of gang violence, Minneapolis' Somali residents and business owners on Monday stepped up their calls for help from City Hall and police headquarters to help curb the senseless shootings that they say too often go overlooked.
On Friday alone, five men of Somali descent were shot in separate attacks, one fatally.
Police and community members pinned the blame for the bloodshed on an ongoing feud between Cedar-Riverside neighborhood gangs like 1627 and Madhiban With Attitude (MWA) and their rivals, the Somali Outlaws, whose territory includes the area around Karmel Mall. Friday's shootings were a repeat of a familiar pattern: a shooting on one gang's turf is usually followed hours, if not minutes later by an "eye-for-an-eye" response so as not to appear weak, community members say. Two shootings last month are also blamed on the conflict.
As with other recent shootings, police immediately stepped up patrols in both neighborhoods to prevent further retaliation. But some in the community wondered whether they could be doing more.

One way ticket back to Somalia would do the trick.
Unlike the Jews, we aren’t allowed to spew hate and take actions against the muslims.
Well, bringing in more cops would be racis’, so whadayagonnado?
No.
They are making an issue for their sovereign state with their own police, their own ambulances, their own firetrucks, their own flag and their own wall,
Gonna need a new Kurt Russell movie, escape from the 5th district.
Less Somali immigrants is the obvious answer.
Import Somalia, get Somalia.

And I thought it was the Norwegians against the Swedes.
Way too late for that.
They breed like flies.
Is this Somali on Somali or local feral on Somali? Not familiar with the details of the area, don’t have a scorecard.
Obviously what’s needed is a nice big housing development in Edina for Somalis!
Rival somali gangs.
You’ve got that right!
All the coverage of the shootings, lately, and not one mention of who was involved, not one photo with an immigrant’s face. They don’t even want to mention Cedar/Riverside, because everyone would know, then.
And it’s racist for you to attempt to fix the problems to boot!
The only thing missing to complete the IslamoScandanaviazation of Minnesota is for Pre-K and primary schools to start teaching mandatory gender neutrality to everyone except Muslim Students, who would be exempt due to cultural sensitivity considerations.
Muslim no-go zones combined with White kindergarteners calling their parents “ma-pa” would be perfectly fitting for Malmo on the Mississippi.
Magic Johnson and Will Smith think their Black cross-dressing sons are “brave”. Why doesn’t Ilhan Omar sponsor a transgender people of color fashion show in her District? You don’t get to be on the cover of Rolling Stone if you’re not a progressive, right?
Cedar/Riverside mentioned in 3rd paragraph of article.
Thanks. I figured either was possible.
This video, Rosanna, by Toto uses the West Side motif.
BTW, the girl dancing in the video did the 'hard' dancing parts in the movie, Flash Dance.
