Yes, it is difficult living in the leftist Minnesota, but with the bad comes the good. There was a couple good days in 2007. There is too much feeling bad for others and not looking out for yourself. I like to think the violence in Minneapolis would not have happened in Texas, but Houston has had their problems also.
The city council voted to defund the police, but the reality is that cannot happen because of the city bylaws. They must put it up to a vote and see if it will happen, and I am sure it will not. We might get change, but not defunding.
Slowly stores are opening back up. Any building burnt out beyond repair has been demolished and the site cleared already. Summer is returning to Minneapolis, I need to get my car out of the garage and start driving it.
