Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
Two 70-year-old ladies sitting on the porch at 800 Carroll had to dive to the floor to avoid 40 shots fired at their house, which is on the south side of I-94, by Marshall and Dayton, so it\u2019s not Frogtown proper. But the behavior is the same. The plague of violence is spreading.<\/p>\n
A Saint Paul City Councilmember says this incident reminds him of Night Riders<\/a> but those were White KKK members terrorizing Blacks. Is there even the tiniest shred of evidence any White people were behind this shooting? Because if not \u2013 if this was another Black-on-Black gang retaliation incident like the Nizzel George shooting<\/a> \u2013 then Councilmember Khaliq just slandered me and I resent it.<\/p>\n
There’s a problem in the Black community all right, but I think Councilmember Khaliq needs to take a good hard look at who’s causing it. Right now, he\u2019s looking for blame in all the wrong places. The Truth Shall Set Him Free. <\/p>\n
