Diversity's Blessings: Rival Somali Factions Riot, Ending Minneapolis City Council Convention
[New American] When hearing about rival Somali political factions rioting, one might assume the event occurred in Somalia, where political violence is the norm. But the mayhem in question actually was in Minneapolis, where, increasingly, being Somali is the norm. (Apparently, "Minnesota nice" hasn’t rubbed off.)

Per The Post Millennial:

A riot erupted in Minnesota during Democrat nominations for Minneapolis City Council on Saturday [May 13], which led to no candidate being chosen in Ward 10 after officials were forced to shut down the event over safety concerns.

Somalian supporters of city council candidate Nasri Warsame turned to political violence and reportedly assaulted Minneapolis city council member Aisha Chughtai and her supporters when she took the stage to speak at the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s endorsing convention....

Video shows Warsame supporters forcefully jumping on stage, banging on tables, waving signs, and shouting over both Chughtai and her supporters.
"We're Numbah One!"
Unable to contain the disruption, convention chairman Sam Doten was forced to adjourn the meeting without a candidate being chosen[,] citing safety reasons, and called the situation a great "embarrassment."

The event was held at the Ella Baker Global Studies & Humanities Magnet School, a K-8 institution in the Uptown neighborhood.

Reporter Andy Ngo provided video (below) of the fracas and noted that in Somalia, "political violence is routine."

#1 Give them machetes and let them hack each other to death; then deport their families and relatives back to the homeland, or over an active volcano.

I have two rules to being an American - work wicked fackin' haaard (Boston accent thing there), and don't be an asshole. The safe bet is they're all violating both principles, and then some.

#2 In America we keep our corrupt politics on the DL. I demand they assimilate to our customs.
