A Thursday evening event held at Washburn High School in Minneapolis, located in an upscale neighborhood, was planned as a “Minnesota nice” event, celebrating diversity and the arrival over the last 3 decades of a Somali immigrant community that now comprises almost one-fifth of the city’s population. A video on the school’s website offered free admission and free food. But as the event unfolded in the school’s auditorium, it turned into a nightmare. Alpha News reports:

Mayhem erupted at a south Minneapolis high school Thursday evening during a planned Somali cultural event and performance that resulted in fights, a stabbing, and shots fired.

According to dispatch audio at the time, one person was reportedly stabbed around 7:45 p.m. during a fight involving about 50 people at Washburn High School located at 201 West 49th Street.

As police arrived to respond to the fight, an officer called out over the air that shots had been fired, and a city-wide officer help call was toned by the dispatcher. Several squads responded from across the city as well as state troopers, Hennepin County deputies, and officers from Edina and Richfield police departments.

Subhuman animals. A cage full of rabid racoons has more culture and decorum than these vicious, hateful thugs.

That’s liberalism for you.
Somali culture should STAY in Somalia.

… celebrating diversity and the arrival over the last 3 decades of a Somali immigrant community that now comprises almost one-fifth of the city’s population.

Some cultures have strange ways of celebrating things.

Somali Culture Night

Oxymoron

Diversity is our Strength!

The least diverse societies are the most cohesive.

Once you try to cater to every individual group language, custom, etc., people become distrustful - all people groups.

And then there is the cultural violence of islamic groups to deal with.

Cultural enhancement.

“Shooting each other IS their culture. .... 5/28/2023, 7:50:08 AM by rockprof”

This is the correct answer.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

If the goal was to celebrate Somali culture I’d say they nailed it.

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Sounds like Somali Culture Night was a resounding success.

[Kriggerel]
