Article: "Pack hunters push robberies up 53 percent in downtown Minneapolis"

City Pages has an article on the growing number of attacks against whites by large groups of blacks in Minneapolis. The article describes the basics of the crime:
     Police say it's called “finessing.” Packs of teens begin their late-night hunts in downtown Minneapolis, looking for lone drunks, people distracted by cell phones, prey that won't fight back.
      
       One person will strike up a conversation with a target. A moment later, the victim will be jumped, punched, and kicked into the pavement by the others.
And something that I had noted yesterday:
Yet security video suggests this is less about money than violence for violence's sake. Footage shows teens taking turns jumping on an unconscious victim, riding a bike over a prone body. The weak are enjoying their power over the helpless, emboldened by safety in numbers.
The article adds:
While the crime itself may be small and ugly, the price to downtown Minneapolis grows higher. Robberies are up 53 percent this year in central downtown. In one 20-day stretch last month, 47 people were attacked. Much of that figure is attributable to pack hunters.
 The remainder of the article discusses the anger that downtown merchants have toward the city government for failing to hire more police while focusing on "woke" issues, and the general need for more police.
