My mom lives in a Mpls. suburb and was decrying the killings, and the guns. As a good son I try not to argue with her, but did mention something about it’s the criminals and not the guns. “Well, I don’t know, but just last night some man was shot outside of a bar....”
The next day I read about it on FR. It was the shooting outside of “Grumpys”. Turns out a patron that was tossed out came back with a knife. After cutting the bouncer, the bouncer defended himself with his gun and killed the guy. I’ll see if I can work that into my phone call next time!
And it sounds like they ARE going about this the right way with stiffer sentences. Rather than some stupid gun buy-back (like the dumb statue). Wouldn’t this title be better as “New Push to Get Criminals Off Mpls. Streets”?
Yes that would be much better and more accurate, a new push to get criminals off the streets!
>Wouldn’t this title be better as “New Push to Get Criminals Off Mpls. Streets”?<
No because then the Blacks would feel as if the cops are out to get them. That’s prejudicial. There’s status in the ‘hood for being known as a bad ass criminal. However it is not PC to shakedown the Black criminals.
