A Minneapolis Neighborhood Vowed to Check Its Privilege. It’s Already Being Tested: Blocks from where George Floyd drew his last breaths, residents have vowed to avoid the police to protect people of color. The commitment is hard to keep.

a haven to leftist activists and bohemian artists

Translation: dilapidated shithole. Crumbling dumpy old houses with sagging floors, leaky roofs, ancient plumbing, and three electrical outlets per building. Just perfect for hipsters who like to fight the rats for dinner.

The commitment is hard to keep??? Could that be because punks,bums and crooks see the neighborhood as “easy pickings”?

because its a cult

And somebody will get killed by these “kids” because he wouldn’t help put them in jail where they belong.

The future victim’s blood is on his hands but not hers conscience since she has none.

Next time I hope she get’s it (you figure out what I mean).

#84 - self I’m confused as to the sex of who was robbed at gunpoint (a man or woman) and who was talking about the ideas behind all this from their liberal/leftist pointed head view.

Now if the robber had shot and killed the victim, all of this would be moot and there would be one less ahole Democrat voter in November. Missed it by that much!!

Even if shot and killed he would still vote democrat

Powderhorn Park, is nice a tree-lined Minneapolis neighborhood until the Sun Goes Down....Then it becomes a different world.

Minneapolis Man Regrets Calling The Cops On Two Teens Who Mugged Him At Gun Point

A Minneapolis citizen who is living in a neighborhood where citizens are swearing off the police expressed regret to The New York Times for calling the cops on two black teenage boys after they mugged him at gunpoint.

Mitchell Erickson called 911 after two boys cornered him outside of his home a block away from Powderhorn Park, a nearby park that has become an encampment for homeless people, the Times reported Wednesday.

One of the boys reportedly pointed a gun at Erickson and demanded he give them his car keys. He gave them his house keys instead, and they became frustrated and ran off before allegedly stealing another car.
