That KARE11 article is crappy. It's 90% poorly cribbed from the crime alert bulletin, but they couldn't list the neighborhoods? Also- "No one was injured." I was the person who jumped on 9/20 in Hale/Page/Diamond Lake, and I was injured (just not by a gun). They could have made that a bit clearer.

ryan, they could go to any of many South Minneapolis neighborhoods that were unfairly labeled as having a robbery outbreaks by KARE 11.

"This would be like saying that the Northern suburbs of St Paul are having an outbreak of robberies without saying whether its in part of Roseville, Arden Hills, Little Canada, or Falcon Heights."

Or like, um, saying North Minneapolis.

(As already pointed out in the comments.)
