Maggie's Farm

Let me give you just one tiny example of why you are completely, terribly, and willfully wrong.

Mpls has suffered increasingly from a graffiti and vandalism problem. Since the 1980's you could see the trend starting to accelerate, and then it really took off after the early 90's when they started heavily subsidizing the parasites. So naturally, "...there oughta be a law!!!"

The law they passed through the $hitty Council was that if you reported graffiti on your property you had to give the police ten "working" days (unspecified as to what that constituted) to photograph the damage and destruction. Once that had been done, the owner of the property now had ten calendar days in which to replace, repair, or obscure the graffiti. Problem being that the city didn't bother to notify you as to when the pictures had been take, so owner had no idea when the clock started ticking.

But here's the kicker: If you failed to replace, repair, or cover up the property damage somewhere in this unspecified 11-day to 21-day window, you were then FINED by the city, which would then send out their own painting crew, and then CHARGE you for their time, at a rate approximately 5 times what commercial painters charged.

So not only did you suffer the damage from the feral vandals, you then got CRIMINALLY cited, and then CRIMINALLY FINED...and failure to pay either the fine or citation would result in armed officers coming to your door to arrest you...for having been the victim of vandals.

The end result, quite naturally, was that REPORTS of vandalism dropped like a rock once news of this new city statute got out. Why, with basically zero reports of vandalism, the city must be clean as a whistle!

Right? Now extrapolate this out to every single category of crime, "serious" or not and you'll see why no one who is a former victim of living in that state believes any of the crime statistics coming out of it, from anywhere. Nor do we believe crime apologists like you.

Zachriel:

Since you are apparently able to both read and write, and yet still completely misrepresent what I wrote, I can only assume that you do so deliberately and not from incomprehension.

This is usually called "lying", but I'm gonna go with "evil".

I will feed your trollish behavior no more.

As a political and economic refugee from the Soviet Socialist State of Minnesnowta I can safely say that I am not even slightly surprised by the rapid pace of disintegration of the rule of law. I owned a house and lived in the Heart of the Hive™ of SW Mpls for 27 years before I could retire and flee.

What surprises me is that, at least as far as we know, there have been no instances of people getting so infuriated by the rampant crime that they take the law into their own hands. It seems almost inevitable to me that this will occur. In rural MN there used to be the phrase, "3 Esses", meaning Shoot, Shovel, Shut up. I'm guessing that if the police continue to refuse to enforce the laws that some of these thieves will go "missing" and be quietly disposed of. I'm also guessing that this is what the Marxist masters are actually HOPING for so that they can respond in kind to anyone defending their lives or property.

GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN, PEOPLE. Just don't bring your insane liberal-scheisskopf ideology with you when you leave.
