    The same week that Jamar Clark, there was a mass shooting at the warehouse district blue line stop. 3-4 people died with a few more shot.

    Jamar was shot by cops. The others were shot in a gang dispute (the victims were not associated, but mostly black, the shooter was black, iirc,)

    You won’t find the names of the victims anywhere online.

    Also, before Sound Bar closed down, there were weekly gang fights spilling out of the joint, into the streets/lot out back.

    People were shot monthly with a string of deaths for about 2-3 years.

    Then a C-tier Vikings player got winged and suddenly they yeeted the liquor license.

    We’re absolutely desensitized and the only time we know about a stranger getting shot is because there was something about the case- killed by cops, the shooter was famous, the victim was famous, or it was some kid, or it was in the context of a mass murder and nothing else was going on.

        That entire stretch of 3rd ave was sketchy. Pyramid (used to be tenth inning,) but the sign was spelled “Pyrmid”…
