MINNEAPOLIS SLIDES DOWNHILL
Powerline ^ | September 14,2019 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 09/14/2019 5:03:17 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Minneapolis once had the reputation of being a nice city. That seems, now, like a long time ago in a galaxy far away. These days, the reality is different. This sickening video of a gang of youths viciously brutalizing a man just outside Target Field, where the Twins play baseball, has gone national. It is visual proof of how feral downtown Minneapolis has become:

Or, to take another example, on the last night of the Minnesota State Fair, generally thought of as one of the more wholesome events a family can attend, there was a gang rumble just outside the fair gates at closing time:

As the Minnesota State Fair wound to a close late Monday, chaos unfolded just outside its main gate.

Fights broke out. A 19-year-old woman was gravely injured when she was hit by a vehicle. Then the sound of gunfire sent hundreds of panicked fairgoers fleeing down Midway Parkway into the Como neighborhood. One resident peeked out her window to find three people taking cover behind her lawn furniture.

Police sources have attributed the worst of the violence, including the barrage of bullets that sent three men to the hospital, to rival gangs.

The wounded people were all taken to the same hospital, where fighting again broke out between the gangs. This isn’t your grandfather’s Minnesota. Minneapolis’s mayor is a young man who worked briefly in my law firm and is obviously not up to the task. Members of the City Council are ridiculously left-wing and totally ineffective. In both Minneapolis and St. Paul, civic authorities are convinced that policemen are the gravest threat to “communities of color,” and therefore law enforcement should be scaled back, or only grudgingly reinforced in response to events like the one you see in the video above.

During my working years I spent a fair amount of time in the Twin Cities. That would have been the 70’s to 90’s. Always impressed by the area...about the cleanest and nicest metro area in the country. But even then there were left wing filth who had infested the government. Mayor and police department on down. Their work is now bearing fruit.

Disgusting. They all should be put on the first plane back to Somaliland. Or Gitmo.

If he’d been armed, he’d have been legally justified to shoot them.

Enough targets to justify a 15 round magazine.

I guess that white kid’s parents failed to give him the ‘TALK”. He needed to be aware of his ‘Situational Awareness’ ...

Just a little correction, the State Fair is in St. Paul MN, just a short drive from Minneapolis but still——

One or two dead subhumans and the others would have run.

Yes, and every night in Chicago, especially the sub-zero nights, the local KKK and Nazi party dress up in black face, go to the south and west sides, and murder hundreds of black children. Indeed, the Chicago police are complicit because they’ve never washed the black face paint off any of the perps.

I’ve seen enough of these to have made a determination. You get two guesses.

Soooo...if the Libtards disband the police, who is going to grab our guns from us?

Seriously, radical Lefties don't want the Fuzz out on the streets--and don't want the citizens able to defend themselves. Explain again to me why I am not supposed to call Libtards "pro-criminal?"

Obviously those are medical students doing some extra credit work in alternative healing through massage.

I don’t know what else to tell you, the twin cities are full of the best doctors you can come across.

It all started when Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities started importing Somalis, circa 1993.

The first ones were from the Christian and Animist south of the country, actually the darker skinned of the two. They willingly worked menial jobs and walked miles to do so in some cases.

Fake news told the sheeple these were typical Somalis. They weren't. They were outliers unwittingly used to bring in the immoral majority in droves.

You really don’t want to hear my answer...

Nor my solution.
