Violent Crime Hits Very Close to Home
Crime is always bad, but when the victim is a child or an elderly person, there is something especially repulsive about the act. Minneapolis' finest crime reporter, Rambix has the story of two thugs who took advantage of the innocence of an elderly man by busting into his home, knocking him around, tying him up and robbing him...
Two blocks from my house.

Rambix adds some great analysis...
People who love criminals, like columnist Ruben Rosario and to a lesser extent Doug Grow of the Red Star don't consider the true victims. In their eyes, the criminal is a victim; a byproduct of racism, elitism, intolerance, lack of diversity, lack of opportunity, the evil white man, ad nauseum.
In my view criminals are in many cases sociopathic, in nearly all cases narcissistic, and in a preponderance of cases depraved. They are coddled by the "system", given too many chances, and too often don't learn their lessons. And liberal columnists like the two aforementioned are part of the problem, not the solution.
This is a very nice "upper NE" Minneapolis neighborhood. Crimes like these were an extreme rarity, if not non-existent, until recent years.
When will the citizens of Minneapolis wake up and realize that they are insane by Einstein's definition -- repeating the same behavior over and over and expecting different results. It will take real change in the mayor's office, in the state legislature, in the county attorneys office, in judges, in the city council. We will not get there by simply changing from one group of liberals and socialists to another.
I spoke with the shopkeeper at my corner store this morning. He said this victim's daughter was in his shop yesterday. She told him the victim is understandably very shook up, but he's doing ok. I hope the next time we see the two slimeballs who did this, they will be in handcuffs.
