Mayor Rybak's quote (paraphrased) by Jason Samuels: "Anybody buying marijuana is paying to put a bullet in the head of a kid on the North Side."
Chris Johnson said: By all means, fight for marijuana legalization. Just stop buying it in gang-afflicted neighborhoods of Minneapolis. Otherwise, you are part of the violence problem. Mark Wilde said: And I would argue against the idea that all the buyers are "from the suburbs" as people like to claim. The people buying live right next store to the people selling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Keith Reitman NearNorth Digesting the List REMINDERS: 1.
