Two elderly grandmothers hospitalized by St. Paul purse snatchers
An 85-year-old grandmother's face was left badly bruised and another 81-year-old grandmother suffered a brain bleed after they were both attacked in separate incidents by St. Paul purse snatchers
Two 80+ year old grandmothers were viciously attacked in separate, unrelated incidents as they shopped in St. Paul ahead of Christmas.

Angela Ferguson, 85, was left badly bruised with one eye swollen shut after two men beat her and stole her purse on December 22 outside a Highland Park grocery store in broad daylight.

Not only did she sustain injuries to her head and face but her daughter says she also suffered a stress-induced heart attack, per WCCO. She lost $4,000 she’d withdrawn as gifts for her family and was forced to miss their Christmas gathering as she spent close to a week in the hospital.

Time to just shoot these worthless pieces of crap and leave them laying in the street.

It's getting hard to keep track of the players without a program, but I believe the perp of at least one of these assaults was turned in by his mother.

Welcome to what your socialist government wishes for you.

How is this not a “hate” crime? Bringing back drawing and quartering sounds appropriate to me.

In a socialist country I have vivid memories of, grandmas, as a general rule, did not get purses snached and face beaten.
In a failing state that followed, however, things were very different.

Point being: it's not called "socialist governement" (and I understand your aversion to one,) proper term is "anarchy".

Our current problem is that our wannabe socialists think that anarchy is a necessary step in moving from capitalism to socialism.

Whatever you want to call the Current regime who has installed a dementia patient as president.

What would it take for neighborhoods to form protective patrol units or escort units?

Puppeteers? You know, it's not the first time in history when a decorative, impotent figure is installed as a leader of a state.
