Re: [Mpls] Surviving and Deffending Myself against the Local Drug Dealers on 6th St 23rd Av N

What happened to the other people in this community to allow a woman to be repeatedly assaulted in public by a criminal? Someone should have intervened with force. If the story Joan tells is accurate she was being assaulted by a criminal using possibly deadly weapons and force against her. A

Well maybe, given my name and all, I'm biased, but why are these shoes such a problem? I think they look cool. I wish we had more shoe art in Northeast. Unfortunately the map doesn't quite extend far enough north to pinpoint the one location with many many times the number of suspended shoes

[Mpls] ' North Star'

Citrus Punch It is unimaginable to envision Samuels as a 'North Star'- he who is STILL enthralled with his 'mulatto / Big House ' grandparents and derisive of his'field slave' grandmother, We don't know much about her, grandfather never spoke about her, we think she must have been a field

Re: [Mpls] ' North Star'

Crimney. Can't we move on? This seems like a real misrepresentation of what Samuels meant. I don't live in the 5th, but as a city resident, watching this play out is depressing. We can't seem to get to the point of what these elected representatives have done, and how their work in City

Re: [Mpls] re: shoefitti

The shoes are as ubiquitous as the drug dealing in many parts of Phillips, and I guess I am inclined to associate them as well. It's really one of the many indicators of state of the neighborhood, like grafitti, trash or boarded buildings. Shoes all over the wires say that something is going on.

Re: [Mpls] ' North Star'

I agree with David. Furthermore, when I read some of this stuff I can't help wonder if this 'supporter' reflects the feelings of their candidate. Fortunatel y, in this case, I know both candidates and do not think either one would tolerate most of the things being said in this discussion.

RE: [Mpls] ' North Star'

I am saddened that some would like to make the election in the new 5th ward about whether CM Samuels came from a properly discrimminated-against background or not culturally. It appears some would rather argue whether he properly acknowledged his field-slave grandmother (whom he never knew),

I'm not sure if David will bounce this as not being Minneapolis specific, but I will try to make it so. Over the weekend on Channel 2's Point of View there was a fascinating documentary on the 2002 Mayor's race in Newark, NJ. Done by an independent journalist, it followed the race between
