How dare the infidel Bob Fletcher criticize what the Somali Muslim gangs are doing in Minneapolis? Clearly he is an “Islamophobe” who is targeting an entire community instead of focusing on the tiny handful of bad apples who are actually responsible.
This strategy — claim aggrieved victimhood, collective blame, etc. — has worked wonderfully for Muslims in the U.S. for the last quarter-century. Why should they change strategies now?
“CAIR-MN Calls Sheriff’s Somali Gang Warning ‘Dangerous’ as Law Enforcement Tracks 12 Somali Gangs in Twin Cities Metro,” by Jasmyn Jordan, Breitbart, July 9, 2026:
A Ramsey County sheriff’s warning about Somali gangs in the Twin Cities drew criticism from CAIR-MN and Minneapolis City Council Vice President Jamal Osman, even as one law enforcement officer said he is tracking 12 Somali gangs in the metro area and another called for “law enforcement, community members, and faith leaders” to work together on a solution.
Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is facing pushback after using his social media show, Live on Patrol, to address what KSTP-TV described as a serious Somali gang problem in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
KSTP-TV reported that Fletcher’s video received tens of thousands of views and prompted backlash from Somali community leaders. Reporter Ben Henry said the station had questions for Fletcher and was told the sheriff was available for an interview, but when the crew arrived at the sheriff’s office that morning, they were told he was not available.
In the video, Fletcher said, “Before you start fixing the problem, first you have to identify what it is. We got a huge list of criminal activity, but having said that, we’re not indicting the whole community.”
KSTP described Fletcher’s remarks as addressing Somali gang violence and reported that law enforcement officials were investigation weekend shootings in Minneapolis involving gang members. One shooting killed a man, while another wounded multiple people and reportedly involved automatic gunfire.
Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Somali gang investigator Jama Shine said, “This needs to stop.”
Another officer said, “Right now, I’m tracking 12 different Somali gangs in the metro.”
A third officer showed KSTP video connected to the shootings and said, “You can hear the shots.”
Shine also stated, “We need to come together from law enforcement, community members, faith leaders, and find a solution for this youth,”
Suleiman Adan, deputy executive director of CAIR-MN, said “prevention and intervention and family engagement and sustained investment in youth must be central to any sort of long-term solution.”
“Anyone responsible for violent crimes should be held accountable,” Adan said.
But Adan took issue with Fletcher’s framing, saying, “To say that there’s a Somali gang problem” that requires the community to “raise the stakes and squash this” before it becomes a larger issue is “particularly dangerous.”
Minneapolis City Council Vice President Jamal Osman, who represents the 6th Ward, released a July 7 statement condemning Fletcher’s comments about Somali youth and gangs….

cair is threatening the sheriff and his deputies. “it’s dangerous”….is only true if the muzzlims intend to take revenge on those who are fighting the crime, and trying to end the gang violence.
Crips and Bloods and Chinese gangs, Russian gangs, mafia, cosa nostra, AB, MS13, cartels, all get targeted by LE when necessary. And the LE have long made public the facts of gangs and what they are doing to end the criminal activity. There have been special agents in LE called a “task force” who work on gang violence.
So, tell cair to mind their own business.
If muzzlims believe they can stop their offspring from committing crimes, they should get to it. Of course, the muzzlims *teach* their offspring that they have the duty to do what they are doing….all crimes committed by muzzlim gangs are demanded as a requirement for devout muzzlims.
Rape, theft, extortion, murder….demanded by the world-wide muzzlim gang.

“Hamas-linked CAIR, Muslim Minneapolis City Council VP enraged that sheriff warned about Somali gangs”
I will take a wild guess, he is a Somali muslim. It is their right to steal from infidels. That is written in their book. So in his mind he is right. We have always had our problems but we never had the problems to the extent we have now before “them” began coming here. Now that problem is everywhere they are.

Minnesomalia lengthens its lead in the national Islamopandering derby.

I get the impression that some Muslims are sufficiently amoral to think that any criticism of their ways stems from envy that we did not dream up some particular method of fraud or exploitation first. Or maybe that we lacked the infrastructure to operationalise it.

He’s just another of the Muslim/islamic migration invasion soldiers working their way into our political system. It’s going to get worse as the muslim population grows, and it will as muslims will out breed American citizens 4 to 1.
