It’s been a fairly violent year in Saint Paul. This past weekend was worst of all; nine total shootings, with two dead:
On the upside, I haven’t noticed the metro’s anti-gun crones blaming the shooting wave on the law-abiding gun owner yet; partly, I suspect, because they’re still learning how to update blog posts, and partly because most Metro gun grabbers don’t know where Saint Paul is (outside the Griggs Building, anyway. BTW, if you’ve ever asked yourself “why is there a Green Line stop at Fairview Avenue, it’s because the Griggs Building is the home for most of the Democrat, Union and “Social Justice” non-profits who provide most of the Green Line’s non-criminal riders).
The bad news? It‘s still a DFL-run city:
Addressing the root causes of violence has also been important to the Dayton’s Bluff Community Council, said Deanna Abbott-Foster, the executive director. Sunday’s homicide occurred in Dayton’s Bluff.
“We’re hoping not just to respond to violent incidents, like a murder, where we all rise up and say, ‘Oh no!’ and then go back to business as usual,” Abbott-Foster said. “We’re hoping to … take a more holistic approach and ask, ‘What’s happening here?’ There’s a lot of poverty, a lot of unemployment, all kinds of issues that lend themselves to violent outbreaks.”
Yeah, focus on that. That’ll work.
Because poverty causes crime, right? Like, as P.J. O’Rourke wrote 25 years ago, “if you took Thurgood Marshall’s bank account away, he’d wind up selling crack at the Port Authority”.
No. A society where there is motive, opportunity, and increasingly little consequence for dumb people to try to take what isn’t theirs is the problem.
And after years of dodging that, er, bullet, Saint Paul is arriving in the 21st century in the worst possible way.
Is there any city with a reputation for violent death that isn’t
A) Democrat controlled
B) Excluding violence from Mexican cartels, almost completely a matter of blacks killing blacks
C) Led primarily by racial minority politicians
Of A and B the answer is “no”…I checked. Not completely sure about C but I haven’t found one with White Devils at the controls; even the cease fire in NYC seems to be holding.
It has been proven that the legacy of promoting and rewarding failure, dependence and sloth started under LBJ’s “war on poverty” has been directly responsible for the complete destruction of three generations of black American families.
Within the past 50 years, many black “leaders” have become wealthy and powerful as poverty pimps, trading the lives of their fellow blacks for 30 pieces of silver. Money is a powerful motivation to do evil, race notwithstanding.
The point is this. If black men are going to shoot other blacks, Wouldn’t everyone, black Americans especially, be better off if they would start aiming at the race traitors that are keeping them stuck in a perpetual underclass?
