Fewer police = more crime

The kids love to hate the police until they desperately need the police.

I’m sure this is Nixon-Ford-Reagan-Bush-Bush-Trump’s fault.
The RATS have controlled Minneapolis since before Nixon.

Even typically safer wards are seeing a major spike in violence, with residents telling their council members they feel “terrorized.”

Well, golly gee, Andy, call me gobsmacked!

Best to forget about urban America. It has had its day and now is in terminal decline. Modern technology has made it economically unnecessary to congregate in central geographic locations. Given the lawlessness that “diversity” and the subsequent loss of a reasonable social consensus and values has wrought, decent people do not wish to live, locate businesses or invest in urban areas. Urban commercial and residential real estate values are declining steeply.

It’d be nice if Minnesota people would wake up and stop voting for the party that is destroying them, but there’s little indication they are capable.

They need to stand their ground and maintain that crime is not unlawful but only wealth redistribution and retribution for oppression.

This is what you voted for - again and again and again.

Your only choices if you choose to stay: Learn to live with it or vote the bastards out.

Third choice:. Move to a safe, well-run area in another state, and vote the same Leftist way until they make a mess of it, too.

This is exactly what happened to California when lots of lefties moved here from other parts of the nation and turned it solid blue - that and the state flooded with illegals who all vote - and vote Democrat.

California allows illegals to get drivers’ licenses and we are a motor-voter state.
