"What's difficult is that the change of heart must come from the people in power."

The sound of the buck being passed. The people in power aren't running around shooting each other. If "Neglect and abuse makes people angry", why aren't they shooting at the people in power? Or targeting them? Minneapolis needs solutions and the likes of Samuels, Grow and RT are providing platitudes. I'll tell you what's predictable. A long hot and violent summer.

"You have to stop the rhetoric about accountability until you demonstrate love."

That sentence sums up liberalism and why it fails our cities.

"Magic bullet" seems like a rather inapt choice of words, doesn't it?
Any chance of a Guiliani coming to power in Mpls?
I didn't think so.
If you want more of a particular behavior, excuse it.

Put bad people in prison. Gee, what a concept!

Not for the first time, it is worth wondering whether our cities would be better places if our various levels of government stopped using resources to regulate or criminalize the inhalation of various types of burning vegetable matter, or other nonsensical efforts, and instead primarily concerned itself with identifying those who engage in criminal violence, and then segregating them in small rooms until they are too elderly to present a threat to others.

I don't know if the recent Block E murderer had prior offenses, but I believe the recent Uptown murderer had previously shown himself to be willing and able to violently prey on others. Too bad he wasn't pulling a fifty year, no parole, sentence, thus allowing a law abiding citizen to now be alive.

It is up to people, individually and in self-selected groups, to demonstrate love. Governments demonstrate power. Why is this so hard for some people to understand?

I think the underlying racism in this issue is pretty evident. Nobody really cares when the murder reports when minorities are the ones dying - except the occasional Tyesha Edwards story - which generated many stories but no mass action by politicians. But as soon as two white people are killed by minorities, then everybody is up in arms about how unsafe minneapolis is. Then in response, a bunch of white politicians get together to discuss the issue...

There's some truth to what you say, Fulcrum, in that murders occur in North Minneapolis with regularity without a similar response, although I'd venture what really causes the difference is the prospect of devaluation of the real estate which produces the most tax revenue in Minneapolis.

I'm curious, though; what would people like Samuels say if a governor, a mayor, and police chief were to announce that the protection of the law-abiding residents of North Minneapolis was now a top priority, and thus all first time violent offenders, upon conviction of their first felony involving violence, were going to receive fifty years without parole? That no assault cases would any longer be classified as, or reduced to, misdemeanor status, and thus those committing those crimes would be pulling fifty years without parole?

Such measures would undoubtedly result in many citizens living out their natural lives over many decades, instead of having them cut short by murderers, given that most murderers do not engage in homicide as their first violent offense. I highly suspect, however, that people like Samuels would vocally oppose such effective measures to protect the lives of people he purportedly cares about.

OK, the problem is ignored by the (ahem, Democrat) rulers of Minneapolis, because the victims are black? So what if the Governor decides to send the Minnesota National Guard in to patrol the bad areas at night? Think anyone will scream racism?

"I think the underlying racism in this issue is pretty evident."

Actually, there's a certain amount of...I almost said "overlying racism" or "bigotry" in your statement, but I'll change it to "Gross presumption".

In the history of this blog, I've written - often - about crimes in the inner city against people of ALL races, because - this may shock you - it's *where I live*.

"But as soon as two white people are killed by minorities, then everybody is up in arms about how unsafe minneapolis is. Then in response, a bunch of white politicians get together to discuss the issue..."

Rubbish. Sorry, Fulcrum, but you're extremely off base. People - myself and other conservative bloggers among them, up to and including Powerline - have written for years about violence in the cities, not in re any particular murder (honkies OR cute kids) for years.

I have responded, also, by NOT fleeing to the 'burbs, but staying and fighting for my city against vermin in both the gangs AND the left wing of the DFL.

Mitch:

The comments were not directed at you and the blog'o'sphere, but at the media outlets in the Cities, be it newspapers and television coverage - and teh response of our elected "leaders".

I wonder what residents of portions of N. MPLS must think right now? They have had major crime issues there for awhile now, but it never prompted the Gov. to organize a meeting to discuss it. But when two innocent white people are killed in tourist destinations things change? I think this must cause a large amount of consternation in the minority communities...

Personally I think that the politicians should invite a wide variety of leaders from the community, leaders ofthe different cultural and ethnic viewpoints that can present ideas outside of what the white, mainly DFL, politicans will provide.

Fulcrum

Bill Cosby told a story about the neighborhood fathers where he grew up (Philadelphia I assume.) Once, when they caught a young man selling drugs in the neighborhood, a group of the fathers dragged this kid up to an apartment building roof ledge, and told him "the next time we catch you with drugs, there's going to be a horrible accident right here." Apparently it was a very effective learning experience for the kid.

Now that's what I call peer pressure.

I think that when any "love" needs to be demonstrated, it should come from the mothers (and nominal "fathers" and other extended family) of the kids I've seen running around 7th St at 1-2 a.m. Kids that are not even school age-5 or 6 yrs old! Where's mommy? Turning tricks and getting high? Where's her love for her own kids? Why are complete strangers supposed to love them when their own family can't be bothered? I felt bad for those little guys-they don't have a chance and are probably the shooters by now. BUT, the responsibility lies with those closet to them....or the Samuels of their community because there isn't a thing that white people can do to make it right. Don't butt in-you don't understand our "culture". We're damned if we do and damned if we don't.

"Nobody really cares when the murder reports when minorities are the ones dying - except the occasional Tyesha Edwards story - which generated many stories but no mass action by politicians. But as soon as two white people are killed by minorities, then everybody is up in arms about how unsafe minneapolis is."

Hmmmm, what are the common threads between the Tyesha Edwards story and the downtown shootings. What is different about them and the despicable, constant shootings in North Mpls. Is it because like Tyesha Edwards, the white people were innocent bystanders, unknown to the shooters. The shootings in North Mpls are virtually always between people who know and have issues with each other. Is there some racism to it, yes I believe so, but does it also have to do with the randomness of it? Yes, I believe so. The issue is not so black and white as some might believe it to be.

Actually, the issue is pretty much black & white, and it isn't racism. That's a canard, a cheap political trick to evade the issue, which is criminal law enforcement.

If you don't enforce the law and instead use every malicious incident as an opportunity to commit sociology, the result is an ever increasing demand for social services and an apparent "reduction" in violent crime, both of which serve the interests of the governing metropolitan elite, but does nothing to protect society and only further encourages the criminal element.

But as someone has said before, THAT'S the government policy the citiots voted for, and that's exactly what they got.

If everybody's a victim, there are no criminals.
