Fuck Frey
I'm honestly asking: What is this even going to do? The city of Minneapolis doesn't have any federal authority, so is this just for the image?
- Absolutely. They’ve now done something.
  
  Yeah, but is doing something, no matter how small, better than remaining silent on this? Knowing the Minneapolis city council, at least some of those people are sincere about this and not just making a cynical political move.
- Well crime, homelessness, drug use, potholes, people who walk with their friends right next to them on the sidewalk so you can't pass, and that one street where its hard to make a left turn have all been fixed so...
  
  No but seriously probably some citizens are like hey this is bad say its bad, if everyone does, theyll stop, so councilmembers are like ok sure whatever.
Fuck frey. He's a piece of shit.
