Justice

Woman in the Phillips neighborhood of south MInneapolis describes the break-ins and arason that followed her criticism of a neighborhood “homeless camp”:

“This would not happen in Kenwood. This would not happen in Lowry Hill, in Linden Hills. This would not happen by the lake. We’re on our 18th camp in a six-by-six neighborhood,” that homeowner told us when explaining the last two years.

She is fearful for her safety after what happened at her home. It’s why we are not showing the woman’s face or using her name.

After being out of town, she came home to a horrible scene two weekends ago. Every room in the house where she’s lived for 20 years was ransacked.

“Everything destroyed and torn apart. Doors kicked in. Everything I owned [was] trashed. Stolen. Bags of stuff stolen and taken out of the house,” she said.

She believes it was retaliation for speaking out about homeless encampments in the neighborhood.

The woman may be anonymous. but she knows how things work in a modern, “woke” city:

The woman was candid about what’s gone on.

“So, when the city talks about equity in every breath, every breath they say ‘in the eyes of equity.’ I’ll just say it’s bullshit, because if it was in the eyes of equity, they would be containing crime here in the Phillips community,” the woman said.

Liz Collen at Alphanews has the whole story:

When people can’t count on government to keep them safe, they’ll figure out a way to do it themselves. And that’ll get very ugly, very fast.

  1. shrug. Sorry, this is the end-state of liberal big city politics – especially the part about punishing and destroying anyone who complains.

    Didn’t someone here report that Lisa Bender retired and moved to Minnetonka?

  2. 9/10 she’s got an “Everyone is Welcome” sign in her window, or on her lawn.

    F*cks given: 0

  3. 14th Ave So & E 28th St ? The encampment must be overflow or staging area for Powderhorn Park.

  4. Part of the issue, I would guess, is that most of the neighborhood is DINKs where no adults are home during the day. So a big part of the issue is our daycare support for the middle class that takes mothers (mostly) out of neighborhoods.

    Time to end tax support for daycares and see how many new stay at home moms use the money they’re saving not working outside the home on a home defense gun.

  5. “ Didn’t someone here report that Lisa Bender retired and moved to Minnetonka?”

    Yep, that was me. And it’s true…..here’s the specifics:

    – bought a $652,000, 5 bedroom, 2 car garage home in Minnetonka with a heated in-ground pool, overlooking a wetland on a secluded cul-de-sac. Purchased in July.

    How’s that for doxxing? Enjoy……it’s all public info. The Hennepin Co property website has not updated the sale info yet, but it’s out there.

  6. I wonder how the people with “Everyone is welcome here!” lawn signs react to Jehovah’s Witnesses or LDS missionaries pressing their doorbells.

  8. We have some virtue signaling neighbors that sport lots of signs in their yard, that being one of them. BLM, rainbows (they have a gay son) and the annual “Blessed Ramadan”. They are confusing, because they put up a lot of outdoor Christmas lights and always have a huge natural tree in their front window. We nicknamed them the “happy everything house”. They are moving though, so another neighborhood can enjoy their confusion.

  9. A secluded cul de sac with heated pool and view of a wetland, you say? Sounds like a great place for a homeless camp, complete with bathing facilities. As long as John Thompson doesn’t show up and threaten to burn Minnetonka to the ground.
