Strap on the Kevlar and visit scenic Minneapolis!

"I've said it before and I'll say it again until things change, 'It has become a dangerous city with a killing trend,' " Hennepin County Commissioner Mark Stenglein said.
It's been admittedly difficult to keep up with the constant flow of news releases on the (escalating) Minneapolis crime wave. This is what happens when someone puts liberals in control - there is no control. When you spend all your time at diversity training, celebrating diversity, and reading Karl Marx, it's difficult to give your attention to running a city, assuming you know how in the first place.

On course to become the "Fallujah of the Tundra", there were more shootings last night, as reported by the Red Star: "3 more shootings add to anger over crime".

City Council Public Safety Committee Chairman Dan Niziolek, an outspoken critic of the current Police Department leadership, said after the incident, "Why is the outcry not there? ... The silence is deafening in regards to crime in Minneapolis."
Uhhh, have you read Rambix and the Red Star?

Council Member Barbara Johnson represents the city's Fourth Ward, where these shootings occurred. She said the police are doing the best they can. She faults the judiciary, not the lack of opportunities or jobs.

"We have far too many people in our midst who have multiple -- triple-digit -- contacts with our Police Department who are out walking around," she said. "Normal people cannot live with these people out walking the streets."
Bingo! There may be hope at the OK Corral.
