I had a house for 20 years just a couple of miles from there. The white guilt mental illness is strong in S. Mpls. The virtue signaling was entertaining. Such as, watching the lesbians across the street adjust their yard signs according to the appropriate virtue signal of the day. Example-once a year they put out their Ramadan sign for a week. Oh how ironic!
I've done ridealongs in 3rd P, the same story of Mitchell plays out daily. A libtard gets beat up, money and/or bike stolen, cops respond, spend time tracking down and catching bad guy, "Mitchell" won't press charges and begs officers to just let him go with a warning. Every. Damn. Day. Knowing a few officers on MPD, I think it's safe to say they hate libtards more than thugs.
There are some good folks in the area and I truly feel for them as their life is about to get very dangerous. The good folks that want to leave better sell their house quick, because soon that city is going to very unattractive.
Yeah, that woman's reactions stuck in my mind since first reading of them, back when it happened.
For several years before that incident took place I worked in that neighborhood as an HVAC tech. I was amazed, almost dumbfounded by the dichotomy of the serenity of Powderhorn Park, where I frequently would have lunch, and the open sewer of Chicago Av S, a few short blocks away.
A neighborhood park with a lake where kids could fish, go sledding and ice skate, near a street it wasn't safe to be on.
After a little girl, Tyesha Edwards, 11 y.o. was shot and killed while sitting at a table, doing her homework,(as I recall, less than a block from where the George Floyd incident occurred) most of the houses along S Chicago I visited had moved the furniture out of the front rooms of their homes, and made the kids sit on the floor. It was heartbreaking to be standing in the empty living room, replacing a wall thermostat with all the little kids hiding around the corner wall, telling me it wasn't safe to stand there. In spite of that, and other gang shootings, the anti-cop/ white guilt sentiment was strong 15-20 years ago.
Given all I saw in that area, I was still a little surprised by the assaulted woman's reaction to her attack.
The neighborhood was full of the widow posters, and 'correct' lawn signs; Re- the lesbians and the yard signs... I recall two woman living together as a couple, not too long after 9/11 both wearing burkas, and seeing numerous Islamic religious items in their home. In spite of my curiosities, I maintained a professional distance, and did not ask about what appeared to be some obvious contradictions.
