Stabbing, shots fired, and 50 people brawl as ‘Somali Culture Night’ held at high school in Minneapolis
American Thinker ^ | 5-28-23 | Thomas Lifson

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.

Adding too many ingredients often ruins the essence of a good dish.

To my view, while WWI ended, nobody actually won, given the enormous losses to all except the few profiteers.

To my view also, WWII's aftermath is only now "shaking out."

Evidently this is Somali culture. Any questions?

Many moons ago - my high school’s rainbow coalition had an overnight lock-in at the high school to fund raise and show that the races could commingle. (That is - it would be a “celebration of diversity” in todays parlance)

The rainbow coalition members (bused in black kids) invited all their inner city gang friends who showed up in large numbers. Immediately reports of thefts and fights appeared and as the night wore on the adult chaperones realized they were overwhelmed and decided to shut down the lock-in early for the safety of everyone involved.

This led to the vibrant youths to immediately start a riot including one black girl grabbing the mic on the podium and yelling “burn the place down”. Of course all the doors were tied closed but fortunately a group in front of us had a guy with a knife (we had all been patted down going in - so much for TSA) and he cut the ropes and my group went out the same exit.

Major damage occurred in the cafeteria, gym and pool but the press never reported on it - and guess who got blamed for it by the principal? Why the white students at the school…

Nothing has changed.

So, that’s what Somali culture is all about...

It ain't The Hokey Pokey.

Wasn’t importing Somali refugees one of Bush senior’s ideas?

The GOP has helped destroy the country by importing the 3rd world.

You know what is really scary?

Overlay your Country data with “Births per 1000 Population” data for all countries.

The Somalis don’t have a culture. In Africa, the Int’l RedCross will not enter that Country.
