Minneapolis is having another violent and deadly weekend. Several shootings took place between Saturday night and early Sunday morning, starting with a homicide investigation on the north side of town. The first incident began at 9 p.m. Saturday; it was a homicide at Uptown Avenue North in Minneapolis. Then, about 7 miles away and an hour and a half later, Minneapolis police say a person was shot in their car on Clinton Avenue South. There was another call for a gunshot victim 20 minutes past midnight. This time, off of Portland Avenue, a male victim was shot inside his apartment

Yeah, pleading has always worked so well in the past.
Gee, I wonder what might actually work? Perhaps hiring some men, train them in the law, fighting, and how to use guns, and set them out to stop these violent criminals?
Nah, they probably should try social workers and pleading some more.

and we had to be hit over the head about a tragic and despicable race riot that happened 100 years ago, meanwhile blacks kill black are a far greater pace.

As sad as it is, these poor manipulated fools will never learn. The black communities are out of freakin control and until there are consequences for their actions they will never change. Until prisons become real prisons again nothing will change. Sending a thug to prison today is like sending them to a class reunion. You treat an animal like an animal. Oh, and for all of you white trash out there apologizing for being white, do everybody a favor and go jump off of a building. Get it yet.

I'm NOT going to tell you to vote Republican. That's silly. They're all just politicians looking for a cushy job.
Vote None Of The Above Party. Any incumbent is OUT. Next guy if he sounds reasonable is in and next election he's an incumbent and he's OUT. Term limits the smart way.

In order to stop this you will have to re-educate the masses...teach them morality, right from wrong, what's another persons is NOT yours...get a job..work hard, advance yourself...but alas, this will never happen...

The real answer is more Feminist and Gender courses. Crank up the OR for more trans surgery. Make it illegal to go into a Church or say God in public. This should solve the problem.

Activists are pleading for this?
Aren't the regular vanilla law-abiding everyday citizens pleading for the same thing? Haven't regular people always pleaded for peace? Doesn't KSTP-TV lend them an ear too?
I'm sorry, but I'm not quite able to articulate how it is that I find this headline to be incredibly condescending and insulting.

From the article;
“Once we get people to understand that ALL LIVES MATTER and we are all in this together, whether we like it or not," Philip Holmes said. "I am encouraged. I have to stay encouraged that we're going to get more community involvement."
No, Black lives matter...you racist.

Stop with the feigned grief displayed in marches,vigils and bad pictures of the dead along fences. Law enforcement can't deal with all of it and the Commiecrat class doesn't want it to stop because it furthers their aims. Wake up black people - many of you know who is carrying a gun or selling Crack. Stop your unfailing allegiance to your tribe and turn in the gangbangers instead of complaining.

I said, as did my wife and other that I know, "All lives matter" was the proper, non-racist correction to their racist chant. And that was shouted down in the the media as "racist"....which was, of course and as usual, exactly the OPPOSITE of the truth.
All lives should matter, but frankly, there are a lot of power hungry folks who are willing to kill a LOT of people to gain money or power. And this is as has always been the case.

I have zero sympathy for the inhabitants of Minneapolis. They have allowed and encouraged rioting and looting ...
actions have consequences.
