Violent Crime Surges in Minneapolis, again....

Thanks to the extremely liberal and incompetent Minneapolis Mayor and communist leaning city council, violent crime is once again skyrocketing in Minnepolis with murders alone up 20% from last year.

Mayor R.T. Rybak has consistantly shown that he is more interested in political correctness and multiculterism than in common sense crime fighting measures. An example of this is when he fired a fairly effective police chief with Robert Olson, then searced the country to find the most liberal candidate available and hired Bill McManus who turned out to be a complete disaster and ended up leaving. Rybak and McManus basically sided with radical "community activists" who themselves were part of the problem and starting putting blame on the police instead of the criminals. McManus and his disciplinary actions against Minneapolis police officers and new rules of conduct severely hurt the department.

R.T. Rybak has also instituted an unlawful "illegal alien sanctuary city" policy which ties the hands of law enforement when dealing with illegal alien criminals. This also makes it very difficult to control the rapid growth of dangerous Mexican gangs in the metro area. The liberal Star Tribune tries to minimize the reporting of crimes committed by illegals, but they are a dangerous and growing threat.

I could go on and on about R.T. 's other bone headed moves such as hiring a lesbian as fire chief who used her power to have affairs with other lesbians in the department in exchange for promotions, cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements and legal fees, and to top it all off, he hired her back!, but I'll stick with crime.

Isn't it time voters wake up and get rid of this guy? Minneapolis is already at a disadvantage because our liberal welfare system attracts scum from across the globe. As one commenter put it, "If you put cheese out, the Rats will come." R.T. Rybak takes a bad situation and makes it much worse.
