City of Minneapolis will be closing the Stone Arch Bridge – one of the city’s iconic attractions, and one of the very nicest overviews there is anywhere – for the entiire Independence Day weekend:
This should help solve downtown’s crime problem.
In much the same way that France’s surrender solved that whole “German invasion” problem in 1940.
“We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”
Criminals wouldn’t walk that far anyway. They’d steal or jack a car, or cut a bike lock cable and steal the bike. I haven’t researched, but I wonder if they’ve figured out a way to hack any of the rental scooters out there and ride them for free.
Hey, if you can’t apprehend criminals because you don’t have police on staff, might as well shut it down?
BB: The bridge? Or the city? 😉
The state?
That’s why you can’t have nice things anymore. But we can’t say why because racism.

After much talk about how safe Minneapolis is.
I confess I don’t spend much time over there, and haven’t been on the Stone Arch Bridge since I rode a Segway tour from Saint Anthony Main to the Old Mill. But I’ve got to ask… how does a bridge pose a risk to a city? Is it going to fall down like the 35W bridge? It’s been there forever, what’s the problem?
Oh wait, you don’t mean the Bridge is a problem, you mean those unruly Finlanders who’ve been causing so much trouble elsewhere in the city, are likely to go on the bridge and cause trouble there too. Because they’re unruly Finlanders and that’s just how they roll. Nothing anyone can do about it. So close the bridge to minimize the inevitable and completely unavoidable damage.
👍 got it.
5th highest taxes in Weimerica. Diverse and vibrant as fuck. Largest Somali population outside Mogadishu. Gay as hell. Child genital mutilation and infanticide codified in law and tax subsidized.
And White people can’t walk the streets at night., so they’re closed.
Lmmfao.
