I believe a few of our drug and gang problems are home
grown, some came from L.A., some bad ones from

drug problems have come to Minneapolis from Chicago...
The "Gang Strike Force" is a good resource if you have
questions. Vice Lords, Disciples, Bloods originating
in Chicago, Crips from LA, Detroit Boys from---well
you get the idea.

Well, first I have to correct Jim. Bloods are from LA.
Started almost 3 decades ago by a former Chicago gang
member.
Anyway, Chicago happen to also export many of
Minnesota's Black public servants (and John Marty
too-he's not black), business leaders, judges,
attorneys and everyday professionals. These people add
to the high quality of life enjoyed here in the
city/state and should be acknowledged when attacking
Chicago as the main exporter of Minneapolis/Minnesota
problems(I hear the same thing in St Paul and Duluth).
I, too, hail from the Windy City and like to think
that I contribute in a positive manner (most of the
time) to the quality of life in this state.
Ease off.
