For most of the past week and all of last night, until 4:30 this morning, many blocks in north Minneapolis were a lesson in war-zone! A continuous explosion of fireworks and gun fire was the sound track for mobs of teens and adults who invaded residential intersections and alleys in a celebration of riot!
Does it seem odd to anyone else that the media is focused on hot dog eating contests while Live-Aid - Live-8 is focused on ending world hunger and poverty..or that the Minnesota Legislature was taking a holiday break from their own dysfunction while some Minneapolis residents prayed for a break from their lawful decision to allow firework sales to individuals - while reducing funds that could have provided enough police to enforce the law, much less keep the peace?
