Both, but some nasty stuff going on in downtown Minneapolis. Workers don't want to go back to work with robberies and reported daylight rapes happening downtown.

Was at a work event today in which this topic came up with three other individuals. Two of which used to live in the twin cities and said they are glad they got out as the place is a mess. Yet all three I am pretty sure lean left and none realize what lead up to the mess down there and the fact that it is only going to get worse since law enforcement has taken an unofficial hands off approach due to the circumstances in the cities.
It’s that exact lack of self awareness, no understanding of cause/affect, that scares me about all the people leaving NY and CA in droves. They’ll move somewhere and vote the EXACT. SAME. WAY. That caused all those issues in the first fucking place.
Yep.

Well he does make frequent trips to the Columbia River gorge and he lives on a houseboat (down by the river). I’m not saying those are convenient places to “disappear” things...but the timing of his arrival....:suspicious:

Chauvin gets 22.5 years. That seems a bit odd to me. I would have thought either life or execution. I suppose those don't fit the charge, but more what he SHOULD have been charged with. That video looked like flat out murder to me....

Kind of agree with Andy, this was front and center when it happened and she had plenty of company on the left. This wasn't a secret or anything.
