McGruv's Letter To Katherine Kersten

Isn't Katherine Kersten a breath of fresh air? A conservative columnist at the Red Star is something to behold.

I didn't have time to comment on her recent article in the Red Star, but I'm sure most of you saw it: "Two big problems cause rising crime".

In response to the article, the only Rambix reader to have a cold-blooded assassination in his own back yard has written to thank Ms. Kersten, with copies to Rambix and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak:

Ms. Kersten,

Thanks for writing the article about the hurdles that the Police in Mpls. face. I met Sgt. Jindra at the 4th precinct and I am glad that there are still journalists in this town that will seek true expert opinion on the appalling crime issue. I wish there were more people in the news media that were willing to get to the bottom of what's going on instead of accepting the Mayor/City Council's reasoning that the existence of guns and not enough job opportunity are the problem. City officials are obviously covering their asses and not being candid or are truly clueless. Minneapolis has unfortunately become a prime place to be a career criminal and the bad guys know it.

Derek (McGruv) ------

Derek has been an extremely proactive member of the resistance, and therefore I'll give him the recognition he deserves. Blogger props to Derek.

Keep up the good work.
