This is interesting....
Had a discussion with a co-worker living in the city, politically liberal...had a neighbor get car-jacked at gun-point with a kid in the car...
Brief sidebar via PL as I knew there'd be a local spin on the drain-circling...
In Minneapolis, shootings have more than doubled this year compared to last. Nearly half of all those shootings have occurred since George Floyd’s death, according to a Minneapolis Star Tribune analysis. On Father’s Day, a mass shooting on a crowded street uptown struck 11 people. The next day saw a chain of retaliatory shootings—the first next to a park filled with children, the next, 90 minutes later, on a notorious gang-dominated street intersection. In nearby St. Paul, reported firearms discharges have more than doubled. The same gangbangers are getting shot repeatedly. One 17-year-old boy has been shot in four different events over the last month and a half.

Circling back to -
I need hardly add that it’s black lives that, to an overwhelming degree, are being lost due to Minneapolis effect:
The victims in these shootings are overwhelmingly black. So far this year, 78 percent of all homicide victims in Chicago are black, though blacks are less than a third of the population. But the defund-the-police advocates and the Democratic establishment have said nothing about the growing loss of black lives.
In this context, it makes no sense to cut back on police funding or to discourage proactive policing. The BLM agenda is the antithesis of what America needs. As Mac Donald warns:
[The spikes in violent crimes] are no longer the warning signs of a possible breakdown of civilized life. That breakdown is upon us. If local and national leaders are unable to summon the will to defend our most basic institutions from false and inflammatory charges of racism, they have forfeited their right to govern. Unless new leaders come forth who understand their duty to maintain the rule of law, the country will not pull back from disaster. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/07/the-minneapolis-effect.php...and this is echoed in my co-workers diatribe...agrees it is insane to de-fund police and let anarchy and crime run rampant based upon the ridiculous assertion that all police are homicidal racists...that ignoring the legal process to sort things out is stupid...and that not every white person is guilty of racism or perpetuating it...my co-worker threw out a guess of only 10% may be a "problem"...whatever the number the gist is this is all an over-reaction and in their words "a failure of city leadership".
So, dancing around it...but what we have is an old-school liberal shocked at everything going on...but unable to make the link that this is a natural outcome of democratic party members being co-opted ComIntern-style into adopting more and more socialism in their policies and beliefs under the guise of populism, fighting for the little guy, being charitable with the poor, the minority, the gender-oppressed blah blah blah...those were mere avenues to what the more radical elements want...the various crazy tribes want their social and economic status enhanced, by force if necessary...because they are entitled, because of eons of perceived oppression...so what has happened with the democrat sh!thole centers in America under the pLandemic and BLM/sundry-terrorist destruction is the ultimate dead end for popular socialism - mob rule.
These people are too stupid to realize they should be celebrating and taking part in it...not decry it.
Anyway...not sure if my co-worker will awake to reality and make the links...but I found it interesting.
All I said were two things:
1) All these crazies are accusing others of what they are guilty of...ALL whites...ALL cops...ALL (Whatever!) and it'll bite 'em in the end.
2) In the end people of adequate intelligence will vote with their feet...and leave...as will the cheerwhores who cheered this on (the locust-effect) only to set up shop in the next area and try again because that last time ya know wasn't
real socialism.
