The good people in Minneapolis neighborhoods need to pack up and get out... soon property values will drop, violent crime will skyrocket and stores will disappear.
All that’ll be left? Liquor stores, thugs, people too poor to move, and whiny black women lamenting that white people have nice stores and they don’t...
