Gunshot Victims Up 90% In Democrat-Run Minneapolis
Breitbart ^ | 6-22-2021 | John Nolte

Posted on 06/22/2021 5:32:55 AM PDT by blam

The far-left Star-Tribune reports the number of gunshot victims in Democrat-run Minneapolis is up 90 percent over last year. That is not a typo. Ninety percent. Ninety, as in nine-oh.

My favorite part of the Star-Tribune report comes in the form of just two words: “solutions evasive.”

Oh, yeah, this is a really tough nut to crack. Let’s see if we can puzzle this brain-twister out…

ELITE JOURNALIST: Let’s see, let’s see… Okay, so this year, shooting victims are up 90 percent over last year. Which means that last year there were 90 percent fewer shooting victims. *taps chin with index finger* What to do, what to do…? *scratches beard* You know, I’m at a total loss here .

COMMONER: Well, uhm, if there were 90 percent fewer gunshot victims last year, wouldn’t the solution be for the city to return to what it did last year?

ELITE JOURNALIST: It’s all so baffling, the solution is so… so… so… *gazes at navel* …evasive.

COMMONER: But whatever the city did last year worked. It sounds to me like we just need to go back to that.

ELITE JOURNALIST: *takes quiche out of oven* Well, some problems just can’t be solved.

Why would anyone live in a Democrat-run city?

Oh, and it’s not just shooting victims that are up. “The number of homicides in Minneapolis,” the Star-Tribune reports, “jumped from 48 in 2019 to 84 in 2020 — one of the deadliest years on record. This year is on pace to exceed 2020’s total.”

As far as gunshot victims, there have already been 273 this year, which is more than two per day.

And where does the Star-Tribune pin the blame?

From [Democrat-run] Portland to [Democrat-run] Baltimore, cities across the country saw shootings and homicides soar in 2020...

Not saying there isn't a problem, but someone's math skills are a little off.

“Come on man!” Gun control is the problem. We need more laws that will take the guns away from those with criminal intent. //sarc off//

How many of them got exactly what they rioted for?

Criminals know that in Democrat run cities they can do whatever they want without too much fear of being stopped by law enforcement!

Bullets aren’t expensive enough, apparently.

Anyone who doesn’t recognize the new leftist mathematics is a science denying racist, bigot, homophobe.

I live in North Minneapolis it’s always been kind of high-crime but I used to see cops drive by once in a while but not in the last year the cops are gone. The crooks can do anything they want. The cops only show up when somebody gets shot. I personally know two people who have been shot in the last six months thank God both of them survived.
Our mayor and the entire city council has to be replaced.

Today (June 22nd) is the 173rd day of the year. 2 shootings x day would be 346.
