FROM THE BIZARRE TWIN CITIES HELLWORLD (5)
Powerline ^ | April 18,2021 | BY JOHN HINDERAKER

A little while ago, a man carjacked a vehicle on a major road in a suburb adjacent to mine. Police gave chase, and he fired at them out of a window of the vehicle. With the police closing in, he rolled out of the moving car and ran onto an adjoining highway, trying to carjack a second vehicle. At some point he was shot by police officers:

GRAPHIC VIDEO WARNING

Person pursued by police jumps out of moving car, appears to point a gun at another car on Highway 13 at I-35W in Burnsville. Runs into grass median and goes down. Working on details. Hwy 13 closed both directions. #BREAKING @kare11 pic.twitter.com/B0GUgUunAT

The criminal was wounded but apparently alive at last word. The all-important question is, what is the race of the criminal? If he is black, like most carjackers, it means another week of riots.

He was white, and he wasn’t killed. So this won’t make the network nightly news.

I worked and lived in Minneapolis for a couple of years some 25 years ago.

It wasn’t great then but it was 10 fold better than it is now. Took my wife to her first Major League baseball game and It was Randy Johnson pitching to Kirby Puckett. Ahhhh, the good old days.

If somebody jumps out in front of your car and points a gun at you, don’t slow down, accelerate! You are driving the deadlier weapon.

I sorta feel sorry for the “Bizarre” world of Minnesota.
Nah, cancel that, not sorry at all.
Can’t wait for the Governor to sing, “Don’t cry for me, Minnesota!” PFffft!

According to a commenter on the Powerline thread about the (white) carjacker in Burnsville getting shot by police,
the Target in *Cottage Grove* is all boarded up.

That’s kinda far from Brooklyn Center, eh?
