I lived there for a time, they were so naive, even their tough guys were like a slightly darker Fonz, they even wore leather jackets, even their prison sentences were light when they got busted.

From the Article:

“The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis is sometimes called “Little Mogadishu.” It’s center of the nation’s largest concentration of Somalis, and fertile ground for Islamic terrorist groups recruiting new fighters.”

A bad year in Kansas beats the crap out of a good day in Minneapolis.

And I remember Cedar-Riverside as the place that never escaped the hippie era.

I guess things change over time.

Churches in Minnesota brought in a wad of Somali refugees during the Clinton Era, and the enclave has grown. Like so many such social experiments, the groups do not assimilate, but isolate themselves culturally.

Well, most or all of them are stupid, violent losers who can’t adjust to civilization. The prospect of shooting, killing, and beheading people in a situation of complete chaos appeals a lot more to them. Occam’s razor.

“What’s Wrong With Minneapolis?”

Well one thing, here in MPLS the opposition party is The Green Party. Inside the 494-694 beltway there is for all practical purposes no Republican party..Conservative movement.

This is also the reason what many here would call a Real Conservative can get elected to state wide office.
