All’s Just Fine In Minneapolis
By Mitch Berg
I’m posting this piece – from Alphanews’s Liz Collin, formerly of WCCO TV – partly to show that someone is doing actual journalism about what’s going on in Minneapolis….
…and partly to note that the most interesting part of the story is the reaction of Minneapolis “progressives” to the fact that Collin has left The Four and is now working for a conservative outlet.
Because, to Big Left and Big Media, ideological purity is now more important than telling the story.

Geez, I can’t understand why Ms Collin would think that the Big Left and Big Media are duplicitous pricks who don’t merit her fealty.

If you are not following Alpha News, you should be.

Why do teenage blacks with guns steal cars?
The answer is TOO MANY COPS are racial profiling!
Also, the NRA.
White supremacy is everywhere, and it explains everything.

I have written this before on this site and others…regarding the judges and prosecutors who let these dirtbags go.
When I entered the poll booth, I had absolutely no idea who the judges, prosecutors and school board members were on the ballot.
GOP: THIS IS YOUR ONLY JOB. VET THESE PEOPLE AND TELL US WHO THEY ARE!!!
And please, do not give me this bullsh*t, “it’s your job to research them.”
No, it’s yours.
And it is your job to communicate what you learn and push the knowledge out to us.
This is how you win elections. This is how you create conservative landslides.
DO YOUR FREAK’N JOB

100 kids are terrorizing 2,000,000 in the Metro area. We know who they are but are powerless to stop it. What a sad comment on modern society.
It’s the video game. Really? Grand Theft Auto has sold a bajillion copies and only these kids were forced into a life of crime?
It’s the judges. Really? Every sentence by every judge is monitored for compliance with sentencing guidelines and scrutinized for racial impact.
A person old enough to steal a horse at gunpoint is old enough to hang. The technology changed, not the crime nor the responsibility for committing it.

Greg;
I’m not sure that would help much, because many judges run unopposed. With the questionable results that we’ve seen in both state and federal elections going back to the Franken steal, if the circles are not filled in, I wouldn’t bet that election officials wouldn’t fill them in.

boss,
If the GOP came out aggressively with a simple phone app, supported by sample ballot mailers, don’t you think that conservative candidates would leap at the opportunity.
Present situation: raise and spend tens of thousands of dollars to put your message out.
Hey, in Loudon County, most of the school board ran unopposed too…..gosh, how that has changed.
Future situation: fill out a questionaries and jump on a free (GOP) platform for a ride to victory.

1) How many sentences for violent crime even approach the sentencing guideline threshold.
2) Look who the scum are who write sentencing guidelines. Maybe a little political pressure would change that.
3) Racial impact of who? The perpetrators or the victims. You know…….minority voters are getting and tired of being victimized by honky-white progressives.

^ I think – although I’m not entirely sure – that JD was using sarcasm. But I agree with you Greg regardless.

Greg, now that the $#!tshow known as Carnahan is gone, maybe, hopefully, the MNGOP can stop shooting themselves in the foot and do things like you suggest. But that would require someone with business acumen who is willing to partially step away from their business. A few names were bandied about right after Carnahan was barely shown the door. None of them were exciting. And the Carnahan friendlies still had a large enough membership in the MNGOP leadership that I’m not confident in the board’s choices going forward.

Yesterday I was in the car listening to MPR, as one does, and they had a reaction to the guilty verdict of the three cops who stood by while Floyd died.
This included a short speech by a black activist. It was odd to listen to. I cannot imagine having a conversation with the person who made the speech. We are from different planets.
The activist praised the verdict, then gave long remarks on the long history of racism of Minneapolis PD. The verdict meant that blacks were now safer from the police, he said.
George Floyd was a far greater danger to the black community of Minneapolis than those three cops were. Two of them were fresh out of the academy & had been on the job only a few days. Floyd had a history of crime going back decades, some of it quite violent. The reason the Cup Foods clerk (not a white guy) called the cops on Floyd was because he was going to have good on the fake $20 to his employer, something Floyd probably knew, meaning he had just robbed a black guy of cigarettes and change from a twenty.
