One Year After George Floyd, Minneapolis Is “Murderapolis” Again
Substack ^ | April 27 2021 | Michael Tracey

Posted on 04/30/2021 5:45:13 AM PDT by euram

Minneapolis recorded its second-most homicides ever in 2020 — after only 1995, when the city was ignobly dubbed “Murderapolis” in national media. And the trend has continued to escalate in 2021: between January 1 and April 25, the number of homicides increased by 92% compared to the same period in 2020. More than 80% of the shooting victims in 2020 were black.

“We’re gonna blow Murderopolis off the charts this year,” one Minneapolis cop told me. (Names in this post have been withheld or partially redacted. As you may be aware, there is often intense suspicion of journalists amongst both civilians and police.)

Dems don’t care how many are murdered as long as they can stay in power.

Sitting at home in North Minneapolis last night I heard at least three different “gun battles”? Not to mention the pack of Hellcats tearing up every intersection all evening.

This weekend the weather will be 70-80 degrees, that always brings out the worst.

I live up here. Most folks don’t go downtown unless they absolutely have to. So many businesses shut down. I’ve had 3 clients leave the Cities for the Burbs...

We were warned that Democrats policies would turns us into a slightly colder version of Detroit.

Well, here we are.

When the suburbanites figure out the cops can’t keep them safe, they will create their own vigilante groups to protect their neighborhoods. I belong to an app called Nextdoor. You won’t believe the number of women on this who don’t believe in self defense.

Put them on buses and send them to the local inner city. Leave and tell them will pick them up in morning. Those that are still there will think differently. Those who are not, well, thank them for showing to the world how dumb their position was.

That’s the truth!

“You won’t believe the number of women on this who don’t believe in self-defense.”

I used to be on nextdoor as well but got kicked off last year because of the great debate going on about Fentynal Floyd and the riots. I always got swarmed by emotional women in my area which is just south of the Twin Cities. Some of these pathetic creatures were teachers endlessly yapping about White Frigility and how this country is “racist”.

From the article “Fourteen officers had left in just the past week since the verdict, he said.”

I raised my family on 28th Ave S and 28th St in Mpls, just 3 blocks from the 3rd Precinct HQ that was burned down. We left there in 2001, mostly due to the increasing level of crime. My son used to still go into Mpls to meet up with friends and socialize in Mpls, but even he stays away now because it has become so dangerous.

Which is precisely what they want. Makes it easier to implement the National Police Force.

My Dad grew up in a house on the 2900 block of Randolph St NE in NE Mlps... Just North of St. Hedwig’s. Lots of things have changed since this was pretty much a Russian/Polish quarter of the Cities.

Almost 100% of black murders are committed by blacks. THAT is why there is no outrage, no media obsession, no riots. The left wants blacks to kill blacks so as to keep them down and miserable, and then they blame their misery on Whitey.

It’s dangerous to be a decent black person in a Blue city.
