You have Chicago and it's gangs and shootings problem. You have Portland and Antifa - and now Minnesota and Mini Mogadishu.
So many problems in states run by democrats and they stand their ground. Apparently where the majority of outbreaks of violence and such were at this year was in a total of 21 states - all Democrat ran. And the main ones, some still dealing with it:
California - Gavin Newsom - Eric Garcetti
Oregon - Kate Brown - Ted Wheeler
Washington - Jay Inslee - Jenny Durkan
Minnesota - Tim Walz - Jacob Frey
Kentucky - Andy Beshear - Greg Fischer
New York - Cuomo and Deblasio
Georgia - Keisha Lance Bottoms
Chicago - J. B. Pritzker - Lori Lightfoot

Violent Crime Explosion Forces Minneapolis Residents to Form Militias
“Minneapolis residents in some areas still recovering from rioting and unrest are forming community watch and security groups, some bearing firearms, to fight a surge of crime,” reports the Wall Street Journal.
While no one can blame the residents — in fact they should be applauded for doing what it takes to protect their own – this is, in ways I’ll explain below, not good. It is, however, a sign of things to come in countless Democrat-run cities:
In late June, residents near a commercial strip that had been looted, and the 3rd Precinct station that was abandoned and burned, were seeing a surge of shooting and drug-related crime on their block.
“It got to the point where crime had no consequences,” said Tania Rivera, 30, who runs a child-care center with her mother. “It was being done deliberately out in the open. Drive-through drug dealing, drive-through prostitution, everything from gunshots to assaults to sex out in the public. Everything you didn’t want your neighborhood to look like.”
So after a number of community meetings, neighbors began constructing a barrier to close off two blocks of their street, first with trash cans, then debris. For a while, a boat on a trailer protected one intersection. Eventually, a nearby iron maker constructed a permanent gate. Police gave their approval as long as emergency responders could get through if requested by the neighborhood.
It goes on to say that men in the neighborhood “began an armed patrol, kicking out anyone who didn’t belong on the block after dark.”
The Journal provides a number of other examples.
So what we have now, in a major America city, are desperate residents constructing barriers to keep out people who, in their opinion, do not belong…
Listen, the first, the very first priority of government is to protect our God-given rights from being violated, most especially by others. We have a God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and the government has no higher purpose than to see to it those rights are not interfered with.
To say the Democrat-run city of Minneapolis is failing on this point would be an understatement.
The city, which has not had a Republican mayor in nearly 50 years, slashed the police budget and turned its police department into eunuchs who are either unable to respond due to budget cuts and ridiculous policies that make it impossible to enforce the law or are unwilling to respond for fear they will become CNNLOL’s Villain of the Day…
And now the city’s residents are forced to go to extraordinary lengths to protect their family and property.
This is no way to live.
This is why, even in the Old West, townspeople elected a sheriff.
