The Wild West Reborn

     Can you remember when folks
        waited to hear the facts of a case
           to come out before rendering judgment

      It wasn’t too long ago that what we’re 
         witnessing in Minneapolis
           was known as ‘mob justice’

       Something we thought ended with the
          demise of cowboys and the wild west

I agree....the wild west has returned to Minneapolis. ... and I fear we will see a rise in anarchy nationwide. Scary times.
