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.

It probably started as a disagreement over the free food.
"This food belongs to Mohammed Farrah Aidid! Go back to your homes"

Maybe Sue Ann The Happy Homemaker could have helped out. Or perhaps Phyllis (not in photo)?

I bet Swedish culture night was never this exciting. Well, you might get slapped with a Lutefisk, unless the Viking stuff shows up.

“Somali culture should STAY in Somalia.”
Ha! 😁
Do you remember the US student who was put in jail because he spit on the ground in (I think) Singapore?
Americans abroad get jail if they spit on the pavement, but ‘global debris’ can come here and trash the place, at will?

I bet Swedish culture night was never this exciting. Yeah, but at least they can play "Dancing Queen".

This started with the post Vietnam settlement of Hmong in MN. They were well-behaved and assimilated so the nice Minnesotans thought all foreigners would be the same.

Such is to be expected from a people whose main reason for coming to the US is to see how much free stuff they can get.

Brawls, stabbings, and shootings. I guess that IS Somali culture.
We should embrace it. /s

They *are* the things they ran away from.
They aren’t immigrants. They’re colonists, and they’re behaving like an invasive species.

you said ..” Burning Tire Necklaces Night”
An other developing market for my pile of old tires out back.
And my wife said I was crazy .....
Between eco nits and diversity , I’ll be rich.
Seriously .... I bet we see an example of this cultural enrichment sometime soon... Before the next election?
I wonder if it will make the news?

Yup—watching an old episode of Mary Tyler Moore is enough to make a tough guy cry.
They destroyed a great city.
Where are our reparations?

Mary Tyler Moore became a conservative in her later years.
