They Were Doing So Well
By Mitch Berg
The Homicide rate in Minneapolis was way below recent trends…
…well, “was” is the operant word, here, isn’t it? Shootings in the past 36 hours killed five, and left five more injured, several critically:
The shootings occurred at the following locations.
- 25th Street and Bloomington Avenue, just before midnight on Tuesday.
- Cedar Avenue and 17th Avenue at 1 p.m.
- 3300 block of Harriet Avenue at 2:25 p.m.
- Girard Avenue North around 3:50 p.m.
- 15th Avenue South and Lake Street around 7:45 p.m.
In the first shooting near 25th Street and Bloomington Avenue, police say two men, two women and a teenage boy were found shot at the scene: Four were inside a vehicle, and another was on the sidewalk.
The 17-year-old boy, a 20-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were pronounced dead at the scene, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said. The remaining man and woman were taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
Welcome to Spring in Minneapolis!

And of course, in no way this was related to gang activity. Nosireebob. You know what MN needs? More gangbangers! Being a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state and all that.

Native American gang violence, apparently.

For sure, it’s not a racial thing. The media would have said so. Probably a group of Amish “yutes” on rumspringa. You know what ruffians they are.
