A gunshot led to panic and the early closure of the Minnesota State Fair on Saturday night.

The incident took place near the entrance of the fair’s Midway, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

A statement from the fair issued Sunday said a victim was located and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Do I have to look or can I take an educated guess?

Obama placed a high number of Somali “refugees” into Minneapolis.

The barrel is now full of spoiled apples.

Minnesota used to be a state full of boring, hard working, conscientious, law abing Scandinavians.

Now you hear stories like this on a weekly basis.

What happened?

````````````````````````````````````````

It ain’t Hubert Humprey’s Minnesota anymore.

Is it the Amish again? or did the Mennonites get involved this time?

It was a busy weekend in the Twin Cities. Following the shooting at the State Fair on Saturday night, five were shot and three killed in St Paul. The Minneapolis/St Paul metro area has become a combat zone thanks to defund the police and decades of Democrats running these cities.

The Shelby County, Memphis, County Fair used to be a big thing in September. Crime became a problem with the “ferals” preying upon the white visitors in the parking lots. The answer was to move the Shelby County, Mid South Fair to DeSoto County, Mississippi, away from the concentration of the offending minority. Minnesota should learn from the experience.

State Fair is one of my favorite movies of all time. The chemistry between Jeanne Crane and Dana Andrews is so beautiful and wholesome, and that describes Jeanne herself.

The same thing happened at the Kentucky State Fair a couple weeks ago. Wild youths with Stolen Guns and Lengthy criminal records. It sure wasn’t an Amish group.

We recently went to ours and had the same reaction. When a person can go to a concert/sporting event and find “good deals” compared to the fair then something just isnt...well, fair. At least part of what seems to be the problem at ours is that they allowed some companies to have their own permanent buildings on site. I would imagine there is a good bit of overhead in a situation like that.

Its not just that though. Did there really need to be 37(?) places trying to sell me the same overpriced hamburger? Why were there 42(?) nacho huts? How much stinkin lemonade can people drink? We were there from just after the gates opened until shortly before they closed. None of these places were packed suggesting there was that much demand for any one of these things.

Maybe thats part of the problem, supply & demand has broken down. We used to have more variety to choose from it seems. Certainly there were a number of much better things that werent even there anymore. It seems that many of these places knew that they needed to make X but were only going to have Y customers each so they just jacked the price up to Z to cover it.

I think many forgot that potential customers also had W&L (wait and leave) as options.

This is yet another example of FFA on FFA violence .
Rival gangs of blue jacketed rival FFA gangs .

One gang likely represented the winning breeding Yorkshire gilt at the fair .
The rival group was showing the second place Hampshire gilt.
When the judge in the show ring slapped the blue ribbon down on the #1 Yorkshire gilt, it was too much.
The Hampshire supporters erupted into shouting and threats and the two sides faced off outside the swine barn in front of Farleys Fine Cotton Candy stand .
