I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was not an idyllic childhood, but it was OK; my five brothers and three sisters had enough to eat and were warm in the brutal Minnesota winters (we even had a skating rink in our side yard every year - I distinctly remember flooding the rink in my choppers and zip-up overshoes (we just called 'em boots) when it was five below zero.
What's going on in the Twin Cities right now is WAY beyond disturbing. It is also heartbreaking. I mean, really ... People are being murdered with impunity by federal troops, and no one is being held to account for it. Not that a desire for revenge is an acceptable reaction, but it is a natural one. The real solution is for all the federal troops -- ICE, CBP, FBI, etc., to get the hell out of the Twin Cities!
