Minnesota is such a dark place and its getting scary

Honestly, living here is legtimately scaring me at this point… So many young boys here have died from gun violence this year (including my own brother), and in the past three days there were two more teenage boys that were shot dead this MONTH. I cant even count how many burials i've attended. If anyone else here is from this accursed state, can we hypothesize on WHAT is GOING ON? Its getting scary and it seems like people are just getting used to it.. how many more mothers have to cry?

Thats why i moved to rural Minnesota! Heaven!
 
I’m still confused on how younger kids are getting their hands on guns. I’m guessing it has to do with associations with those who know others that have guns and they supply them to these kids. Also, I’ve noticed a trend that started up in recent years where (in the summer especially) troublemakers from the city would come down and cause problems around where Somali people live (since they be knowing some Somali kids or other kids in the neighborhoods).

It got so bad that they removed the hoops from a court near my home so they could deter people from playing there due to a shooting (mind you this is a little kids playground). They even chopped down all the trees lining the road next to the park so there’s better visual of who’s in the park.

Good! Let the go after the trees, the druggies, ALL of them!


Every somali man and woman wants to have a baby and dont know how to raise them
 
Somali parents need to prioritize buying homes and moving to the burbs. If you grow up in some of these neighborhoods thinking you are good you will be affected by this. I don’t care if you need to take riba and if you disagree you are retarded. You will end up as a 60 year old with a 25 year old hoodlum living in your house if they aren’t killed first. And don’t come at me with ‘I made it out the hood and my parent didn’t take riba’. Good for u.

It's a sign of the last days unfortunately.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reportedly said, "The Hour will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away..., murders will increase...".

Is it that bad? I live here and i haven’t heard of any of this.

Our diaspora consists of fobs, first gen, and second gen Somalis. All of us won’t share the same upbringing. Somali street niggas have always existed since we’ve arrived.Most of them were always fobs and first gen that weren’t raised properly here in the west.

Its gotten much better than it was before. I know of personally or through friends of like 30 Somalis who died of gun violence growing up. Now, I barely see or hear of any in that lifestyle. The Minneapolis Somali community isn't that old and established though so its probably different there. Itll get better soon.
