It seems that we are there. Common sense has left the building and is replaced by insanity.
I live in Minnesota. My apartment is located in a western suburb of Minneapolis. So far, things seem quiet here. But for how long?
I have been watching the local news concerning the events, including all of the deportation efforts. And I am having a hard time understanding all of the objections to removing criminals from our country. Seems to me that when a person decides to break our laws the minute they step onto United States soil, that person should not be surprised when they have to go back where they came from.
But what bothers me the most is the raw hatred of many of our citizens. Minnesota nice? Really? The Minnesota Nice thing used to be true. It still is outside the cities. I am sure there are still good people living in Minneapolis. Sadly, those are not the ones we hear about. We hear about those who have stolen vast amounts of money from the rest of us. We hear about those who do everything in their power to prevent law enforcement from rounding up the criminals. And we hear the wailing of those who haven't yet figured out that if one plays stupid games like trying to run over officers, chances are pretty good they will win stupid prizes.
I have tried all my life to be a person who is fair, especially with those of different ethnicities. Gowing up in the era of the Civil Rights Movement made me more aware. But now I find that it is not the race of people I am angry with, but those who think it is OK to move into my state and steal billions of dollars from our citizens.
That ticks me off!
As does those who think it is OK to do everything in their power to prevent law enforcement from doing their jobs. I'm pretty sure that some would want law enforcement to do their jobs if a crisis arose in their lives. But not in this case.
It is my prayer that the obnoxious Minnesota leaders - the ones who caused this mess in the fiirst place - be put into handcuffs and orange jumpsuits, for that is exactly where they belong.
