‘Bulldoze people’s tents’
The latest shooting happened at a homeless camp in a parking lot that has been at the centre of a legal conflict between the owner of the property, Hamoudi Sabri, who opened it up to the homeless in July, and city officials who want it shut down.
Sabri has refused to shut down the camp, and earlier this month, the city sued him to try to force the camp’s closure.
Sabri is facing about $15,000 in citations and fines related to the encampment.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a news conference in the hours after the shooting that the city will be “clearing this encampment immediately after the crime scene has been investigated.”
that is fucked up man. I wonder if the bulldozers will destroy evidence by accident.
“Accident” when they’re using it as an excuse to clear them out.
