In the olden days, people and goods traveled by ship. Nowadays, people and goods travel by car.
In the olden days, pirates took ships by force, leaving people and goods stranded. Nowadays, carjackers take cars by force, leaving people and goods stranded.
In the olden days, law enforcement officials were spread too thin to prevent piracy so private persons were granted Letters of Marque allowing them to seize ships from pirates, deliver the pirates to the authorities, and keep the ships as a reward.
Minnesota law enforcement officials are spread too thin to prevent carjacking. Maybe we should . . . ?

Last week, I expressed – half tongue-in-cheek – an interest in running for Mayor of Saint Paul on the “Criminals Suck” ticket.
My platform:
- Legalize “booby-trapping” (non-lethal, of course – gotta keep the plaintiff’s bar away) to catch criminals.
- Offer rewards for the most creative trick, trap or subterfuge a citizen uses to catch a ne’er-do-well.
- Pay for those rewards by cutting 23 of the roughly 24 deputy mayor’s offices, the Resiliency Office, and every city office that competes with more than three Saint Paul businesses
- Direct the City Attorney to actively participate in the defense of any citizen deemed to have a legally sound claim of self-defense against.
- Hold a tax holiday the week of the Fourth of Jully and the week before Christmas, to get people from outside Saint Paul to actually come to Saint Paul.
It’s not really a “letter of Marque”, but the spirit is there…
The woke, like the mpls council, believe that white supremacy and patriarchy are responsible for all social evils.
The police are the enforcement arm of white supremacy and patriarchy.
So it is impossible for lack of policing to lead to more social ills. If you are concerned about the increase in Minneapolis car jackings, you are making a privilege mistake: you are mistaking your privilege for justice. The presence of the police introduces white supremacy & the patriarchy and must increase injustice.

Bwaaahahahahahaahaaaa! That was a good one, potato head! Your boy couldn’t swing a golf club on a bet.
In 4 years, Trump never cashed a paycheck or wasted a single taxpayer dollar on Depends, so we’re even.
It must be very hard to play golf in the afternoon, when that is nap time.
You’re right Allen; nap time is key. Besides, Joe’s caregivers don’t like to get too far away from a changing room after he’s had his strained peas and ham for lunch.
Emery’s obsession with trump continues.
He’ll still be threadjacking & posting crazed anti-Trump comments long after Trump is dead.

MO, I suspect Potato Head might have seen Trump drag Pedo Joe around by his nose yesterday in Florida.
Not only did he double down on the low IQ grifters and scumbags Joe is begging to breech our border, he ignored the pleas of the defenders of the status quo not to mention the election fraud.
So he didn’t mention it; he riffed on it like Eddie Van Halen shredding a guitar.
And now everyone is praising him, even the execrable dregs of Neo-conservativism like Nicki Haley bowed to him.
It is hilarious. And poor Potato Head has all his eggs in an incontinent dementia patients basket.
