Guardian Angels In Minneapolis Tomorrow
Funny, I was just saying to someone a couple of days ago that it would be a good idea to contact Mr. Sliwa and the Guardian Angels to explore a Minnesota chapter. There must have been a few others thinking the same thing...
THE ALLIANCE OF GUARDIAN ANGELS, INC. For Immediate Release
Founder & President Of The Guardian Angels Visits Minneapolis To Explore Possibility Of Starting Local Chapter To Help Combat Rising Violent Crime
NEW YORK - Curtis Sliwa, Founder and President of the Guardian Angels volunteer unarmed citizen safety patrol will be accompanied by an interracial team of Guardian Angels from Denver who will visit Minneapolis this Friday April 21st.
They hope to meet with police and explain how a local Minneapolis chapter of Guardian Angels might help officials combat the growing violent crime problem. While in town for the weekend, Guardian Angels will visit and patrol uptown and downtown, Northeast and South Minneapolis. While in these neighborhoods they will meet and greet residents and businesspeople who have expressed an interest in having these patrols.
And who was it that got the ball rolling? The mayor? No. The Chief of Police? No. The City Council? No. Once again, we see that relying on government is not the answer. In fact, it's sometimes a way to get killed. Good citizens stepped up and took action on their own...
Recently, listeners to radio station KQRS in the morning began to email and call the Guardian Angel international headquarters in New York City. They did so on their own as they were seeking potential remedies to the growing problem. Some were aware that the Guardian Angels had a presence in Minneapolis back in the late 80s based out of the American Indian Center on East Franklin in South Minneapolis. There were many fond memories expressed for the service that had been provided. This certainly created the momentum to have the Guardian Angels visit this weekend.
KQRS posted this update this morning:
Dear KQ, Wanted to keep you updated on our trip to Minneapolis starting this Friday, April 21st. I'll be flying out of New York right after I finish the show at 10 o'clock EST. The flight leaves at 11:30 and gets in at 1:30 local time. Right now, it looks like we have a meeting with Acting Police Chief Tim Dolan at 3 pm, but that's not confirmed yet. We'll be hitting uptown and downtown Friday night and Saturday night. During the day Saturday, we'll be in Northeast [ed. yeah!] and on Sunday, South Minneapolis. As you can see in the initial press release we've sent out, your station KQRS is given the credit for sparking the interest in some of your listeners. I'll continue to keep you in the loop.
