Minneapolis struggles with rise of Somali gangs

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Ahmednur Ali's family fled the chaos and violence of their West African homeland Somalia in the 1990s, eventually making their way to Minnesota like thousands of their compatriots.

While many of the estimated 32,000 Somalis who settled in the state have struggled to adapt, Ali flourished, blazing a path to Minneapolis' Augsburg College on a soccer scholarship by age 20. He studied political science and aspired to a political career modeled on President Barack Obama's.

He was shot and killed last September outside a busy community center where he worked part-time as a youth counselor, and prosecutors said the 16-year-old accused of killing him was part of a gang.

They have brought what makes Somalia a hell hole to Minneapolis and are turning it into a backward, Islamic hell hole, too, only with taxpayer-funded community centers instead of mud huts. And if the original inhabitants of Minneapolis object, they are racists. If you want to live in Islamic culture, return to the hell hole of your birth and take your offspring with you, and leave us alone.

I hope they remain in Minnesota.

What a mess.

They will eventually take over the state and they can destroy an entire country.

Wow, encourage thousands of third world savages to emigrate to your state and violence erupts? Didn’t see that coming.

Somali gangs and Somali gangsters are particularly violent and ruthless, with nearly no regard for human life. They have a whole separate morality (or complete absence of morality, rather) that most of us in the “Civilized” world would find quite disturbing. It’s an Amorality with a violent subcurrent.

If they have taken hold in Minneapolis, yikes!

I believe the national IQ average of Somalia is 67, or so.

Just d@#n! We had plenty of home grown gangs. Now we have Somali and other Muslim gangs, Mexican gangs, South American gangs, and the good Lord only knows what all other kind of gangs.

Without God's help, folks, we are down the drain. If the elected powers had stuck to Teddy Roosevelt's ideals on immigration, we would never have come to this fix:

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907"

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

Theodore Roosevelt 1907.

Every American citizen needs to read this!

I have one opinion about gangs: give them all guns and let them kill each other - but you have to laugh at the names of their gangs:

Somali Hot Boyz, the Somali Mafia and Madhibaan with Attitude
