Carjackings sweep through Twin Cities communities

Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 1/2/2022 1:49:38 PM

The armed carjackings spreading fear across the Twin Cities are frequent, brazen and often violent. Assailants are ambushing victims in grocery store parking lots, bustling intersections and, in some cases, even as motorists park in the garage of their home. Just last week in the Crocus Hill neighborhood of St. Paul, a mother had to rush to pull her child from the backseat as three armed teenagers stole her car. The attacks are occurring almost daily in Minneapolis and St. Paul, at all hours and in many different neighborhoods. Minneapolis police have reported more than 600 attempted or successful carjackings this year, a crime they didn't even track until

Comments:

The Red Star waves it all off as a fad caused by youthful boredom, noting that carjackings were exceedingly rare before the Red Star and their fellow travelers turned George Floyd into the patron saint of minority empowerment through unpunished mayhem. Wall the place off and make the people live with their decisions.

Some years back, I lived in awful Jersey. Carjacks and steals were as common as breathing in Newark but the police were prevented from chasing. Instead, they would call a neighboring town and then crowd the robbers down the streets to that town where a roadblock had been set up. The guys manning the roadblock would open up with all the artillery they had and there would be no survivors. After a few of these incidents, the jacking rate and stealing rate slid into obscurity. The bad guys would actually stop and surrender rather than be driven into that town. So, there ARE solutions...

It will be difficult to stop the madness. Police are not allowed to stop vehicles for ''minor offences''. The populace refuses to correctly identify the perpetrators, and is afraid to prosecute criminals.

The perpetrators must not be “White Supremacists” or Biden and Harris would be speaking out against the perpetrators like the stick on poop! Not a sound from them or the leftist and socialist Democrats in general, so there must not be any “White Supremacists” in sight.

Several years ago there was a terrible rash of car hacking in Houston. one day three of them pulled an unfortunate out of his car on a street and he opened up on them killing all three. Turns he was FBI in a Bureau car. There are flocks of people in MN with concealed carry-over 300,000 in March 2000- so eventually these guys will meet up with a lion who won't stand for it .

The article was very careful to not mention the race of the youthful carjacking. The only race that merits such close attention is our fine George Floyd wannabe youth. Of course, it would be racist to mention Black youth.

A team of nine black climbers is attempting to scale Mount Everest to tackle the mountain's 'intentional lack of access for black people' and mountaineering's 'colonial history'. The Full Circle Everest Expedition, which climbing leader Fred Campbell described as 'the first all black and brown expedition to the highest place on earth' in an Instagram video, is hoping to change the future of mountaineering. The first two men to ever complete the climb to Mount Everest's summit were Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, from Nepal, and Sir Edmund Hillary, from New Zealand, in 1953. In fact, many people from the Sherpa community climb the mountain daily during peak season to carry

Omicron has been a drag for New Yorkers, but not for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The far-left lawmaker (D-NY) was spotted maskless once again in Florida, this time at a packed drag bar in Miami — as the Big Apple continued to be hammered by record-high numbers of COVID-19 cases and faces an indoor mask mandate for one more month.

More than half of black children in the UK are now growing up in poverty, a new analysis of official data has revealed.(Snip)But there was a wide variation among ethnic groups. The Labour research covered nine categories and it said Bangladeshi children are the poorest, with 61% of them living in a poor household. The figures for the other groups were: Pakistani children (55%); black African or Caribbean or black British (53%); other ethnicity (51%); other Asian (50%); mixed ethnicity (32%); Indian (27%); white (26%); and Chinese (12%). There are 2.9 million white children living in poverty, making them by far the largest ethnic cohort,
‘There is no money left’: Covid crisis

Sri Lanka is facing a deepening financial and humanitarian crisis with fears it could go bankrupt in 2022 as inflation rises to record levels, food prices rocket and its coffers run dry. The meltdown faced by the government, led by the strongman president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, is in part caused by the immediate impact of the Covid crisis and the loss of tourism but is compounded by high government spending and tax cuts eroding state revenues, vast debt repayments to China and foreign exchange reserves at their lowest levels in a decade. Inflation has meanwhile been spurred by the government printing money to pay off domestic loans and foreign bonds.

Police in Rotherham, where the authorities failed to tackle South Asian heritage “grooming” gangs due to political correctness for years, failed to record most abusers’ ethnicity in the year to December 2019.(Snip)Independent investigations strongly suggest that a highly disproportionate number of grooming gang abusers are men of South Asian, mostly Pakistani Muslim heritage, and their victims largely white working-class girls and young women, but members of the media are still generally unable to describe suspects as anything other than “Asian”—to the chagrin of British Sikhs, among others—because the authorities almost never release information on their national and religious background.

The New Year’s Day replacement of the French national flag by the standard of the European Union at Paris’ Arc de Triomphe may have handed a potent symbolic issue to French conservatives ahead of a crucial national election this spring. The government of centrist President Emmanuel Macron installed the giant blue EU flag at the iconic memorial to France’s fallen soldiers to mark the start of the country’s six-month term as rotating president of the European alliance’s executive council. The flag came down Sunday but not before leading conservative and nationalist figures slammed the gesture as an insult to national pride and the sacrifice of French veterans.

Charm City saw 337 homicides last year, up from 334 in 2020, and well above the 290 that the city's Mayor Brandon Scott had hoped his new 'violence reduction' strategies would bring the homicide rate down to in 2021. 'We can't accept that this life loss is normal,' Scott, who last year led efforts to cut police funding by $22 million as a city councilman before pleading over the spring for $27 million more for the police department, told the Baltimore Sun Times.

Should Donald Trump run in 2024? 42 replies

With the turn of the calendar to 2022, Republicans are not only looking to the 2022 midterm elections but to the prospect of Donald Trump running in 2024. Trump is hugely popular with the party’s base and that popularity freezes the plans of other possible candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump’s hold on that nomination is brittle, however, because of his age. On election day in 2024 Donald Trump will be 78 years old. That is one year older than Ronald Reagan’s age when he left office in 1988.Looking at the 2024 contest from the other side of the race, there is no reason to expect that Joe Biden
