[Mpls] Insanity

[Roberta Englund]

For most of the past week and all of last night, until 4:30 this morning,
many blocks in north Minneapolis were a lesson in war-zone!  A continuous
explosion of fireworks and gun fire was the sound track for mobs of teens
and adults who invaded residential intersections and alleys in a celebration
of riot!

 

Does it seem odd to anyone else that the media is focused on hot dog eating
contests while Live-Aid - Live-8 is focused on ending world hunger and
poverty..or that the Minnesota Legislature was taking a holiday break from
their own dysfunction while some Minneapolis residents prayed for a break
from their lawful decision to allow firework sales to individuals - while
reducing funds that could have provided enough police to enforce the law,
much less keep the peace?
