Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

Fourth Precinct Citizens FED UP and FIGHTING BACK!

The 4th Precinct "Highlights" listserv for November 4-10 had two instances of citizens who deserve a medal, so I'm giving them "virtual" medals...
At 3501 Bryant, a 41-year-old Asian male "refused to give up his stuff" when a 30-40 year old black male attempted to rob him while "implying a gun." Also, a 52-year-old white male struggled with a 17-year-old black male, later identified and arrested. The black male was armed with a gun, yet fled.
I'm told the police advise cooperating with robbers to avoid getting injured. I feel like I should say that or something...before I hand out two "virtual medals" for valor. Keep up the good work, citizens of the 4th Precinct.
