St. Paul, like Minneapolis, has a gang problem. So, it's up to US to solve the Mayor's problems.

The most telling part of Carter's speech...

"It's going to require our non-profit partners; it's going to require our pastors it's going to require our community leaders, the mothers in our community, the friends, all of us put together."

Notice that "fathers" aren't mentioned anywhere.

[MagUSNRET]

It needs to involve Immigration and never ending welfare not allowing any more feral’s into our state!!!

"Notice that "fathers" aren't mentioned anywhere."

because they're doing the shooting?

realistically all the discussion and hand holding and kumbaya moments will not stop low intelligent,impulsive,violent people from shooting and stabbing and raping and beating others.....

frisk people in the high crime areas.....and profile while you're at it...

take guns away from criminals and ferals and put them in jail and keep them there.....

Police said more than 130 people have been shot in the city this year and 24 have died. Of the 24 deaths, 22 of them have involved guns.

130 shot, 24 died. But only 22 involved guns. What where the rest shot with ????

Odd sentence or am I reading it wrong ?

“...it’s going to require our community leaders, the mothers in our community...”

When you see the word “community” used in this sort of context, it’s kind of like a code word, meaning you don’t have to go on line to see what the victims/perps look like.

[Chode]

guess it was all business as usual till it got toooo close to a sucker game...

[IronJack]

Any guesses about the pigmentary persuasion of the shooters (and the victims)?

[Midwesterner53]

Blue cities, counties and states reap the benefits of their politics. No sympathy here.

[The Great RJ]

Gee do you suppose the guns used in those crimes were legally purchased and the buyers passed background checks? Were the guns used the dreaded AR-15 type assault weapons or equipped with “100 bullet clips”?

I have an idea for Mayor Carter. Gun confiscation.

We all know that banning guns will end gun violence. Pass a city ordnance banning guns and then begin a door-to-door confiscation program. Easy peasy!

I’d luv to get a fly on the wall when this plan is presented to the police chief.
