My wife, who was in Anoka for a No More Kings protest, is home safely. Brooklyn Park, which is very near Anoka, borders HWY 169. That north/south route through that area, was not shut down, so she came home from Anoka without any delays, but not without some anxiety.

Minnesotans are not used to this kind of mindless violence against public officials. I guess we have to start protecting ourselves from repeats of this kind of shit in our own state now.

Damn!
