Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
On Monday, the Police Chief of Minneapolis visited North Minneapolis and made a speech telling criminals to put down their guns.
On Tuesday, criminals responded: “Sure, as soon as we finish shooting these people.”
That solution didn’t last long.

The “state as nagging mom” approach never really works.
Even imbeciles like Mark Dayton are eventually going to reach an understanding that much of this chaos and violence is the result of the futile and bottomless Money Pit known as the War on Drugs.
The war is a luxury we can simply no longer afford, and even if we could, the associated death, immiseration, and governmental destabilization throughout Latin America is too high a price to force on others.
Not to perpetuate the GOP War on Womyn, but I’m sorry. Janee Harteau doesn’t exactly present the picture of authority. I’m pretty sure that the thugs are laughing at her.
bosshoss……..the chief got her job because:
A) She like girls
B) She is part Indian
In a normal world, you would have to have job qualifications. In a left wing world, those are the job qualifications.
Similiar to what’s going on in North Mpls….Peggy Noonan has a good column out today (see WSJ) abut the current state of our natoin. Reading it……..I think we are getting very close to Jimmy Carter 1979. And in many ways, worse. Partisons like to condemn the Presidents of the other party. But I really do believe Obama may be the worst President since Buchanon.
In defense of nagging moms, I think this is more the “Miss America” problem of the naive left. When confronted with evil or violence, they go on a speaking tour urging world peace.
When the coppers are already bustin’ heads for the smallest provocation it doesn’t leave much room for escalation.
The hood rats North aren’t skeered of anything. They don’t see past the here and now, mostly how much cash they have, how many baby mamas they are juggling and how to get an upgrade on the ‘nine’ that got handed down to him.
Funniest thing I ever saw; a 13-16 yr old rat tells a woman all up in his grill “shut up bitch, I already robbed your house last week. You need to clean up in there!”
Oh, the woman was pointing a pistol at him the whole time.
Given that most of these murders (here and in Chicago) occur in the wee hours of the night, it strikes me that one way of causing the murder rate to plunge might be to require people receiving government checks of various types to actually perform some useful work, starting at 9am sharp.
Mom: If the world were made up ONLY of moms with small kids, they would all be packin’ heat and at each other’s throat. What the Left never acknowledges is conflict – in this life and on this planet – is inevitable.

I’d go one farther and say “since most crimes occur at night, have them start working at 9*PM*. When they are done with their 8 hour shift, they’ll mostly have lost the cover of darkness, and probably be too tired to do anything else.

They won’t be laughing after she orders up a couple more no-knock raids.
