But Seriously... The Biggest Joke In NoMi: Megan E. Goodmundson

Today I stumbled upon a letter that was emailed to just about every person in the state who has anything to do with politics in N. Minneapolis. It was authored by none other than the "Super-Citizen" Megan E. Goodmundson of Johnny Northside shame. Oh, Megan just happens to be Johnny Northside's "flame" as well.
I have copied her letter and pasted it below for you bloggers to read.
Rather than post my response at the end, please see my comments in red where I felt the need to say something.
I hope you enjoy reading this post as much as I did!

Subject: 7 Shootings in 7 Hours - Urban Terrorists In Our Neighborhoods
To: Governor Pawlenty, Mayor Rybak, Chief Dolan, All Minneapolis City Councilmembers, All Hennepin County Commissioners, State Senator Higgins, State Reps Champion and Mullery, Sheriff Stanek, Inspector Martin, Lt. Heimerl:
I am asking each and every one of you to respond to me regarding the levels of violence occurring in my community. You each are paid to represent and serve me and my neighbors and we need to hear from you, please. If any of them bother to respond to your letter, I would hope it would be to "serve" you with a dose of COMMON SENSE! Now hear this... You LIVE in a violent Ghetto! Its not like you JUST MOVED there & all this violence just broke out.

In my north Minneapolis neighborhood on Monday night, there were seven people shot within seven hours within an approximate 15 to 20 square block radius.
As you all are well aware, I am sure, this years homicide numbers are much higher than the decrease we had last year.  Way to compliment the police there, Megs! Oh, I am sure they take your critisizm constructively.
In addition to those terrible incidents mentioned above, there are an almost uncountable number of other urban terrorism incidents such as windows being broken or shot out with rocks or pellet guns every week, in a wide spread pattern. You use the word "Terrorism" to describe what is in your neighborhood. Well, people who I like to call rational Americans DON'T move to places where Terrorist activities occur.
The good, decent, taxpaying neighbors are being terrorized on their own streets. They don't have to travel to Iraq or Afghanistan to risk their lives, it is happening right at the spot where they lay their head in the land of the free, home of the brave. "Taxpaying neighbors" you say? I noticed you said neighbors and didn't include yourself because, you are no longer a taxpayer since you lost your house.

If this was occurring in other areas of Minneapolis, Hennepin County or the State ofesota, I know there would be OUTRAGE and IMMEDIATE law enforcement attention thrown at the problem and no one would sleep until those good people were reassured and placated. Did you happen to notice that those people chose to NOT live in areas like that??? That should be a hint!

Well, there are good people, tax paying citizens who need protection now from this violence. Just a note Megan: You and your boyfriend, John do NOT pay taxes! In fact, John has NEVER paid taxes for his house on Bryant Ave. N!  We can not continue to be quiet as our neighborhoods become a jungle of urban terrorism. When the hell were ANY of you quiet??? Every one of you bullshitter's have your own hate blogs and John has never shut up once in his life!!! I can not believe that if similar incidents were occurring in Kenwood or Linden Hills they would be allowed to continue without direct action by the local authorities and elected officials. (Yawn) See above.

North Minneapolis has been neglected for too long in the area of active crime fighting and greater police presence. You hearing this, Lt. Heimerl & the Fourth Precinct? Megan say's you have neglected North Minneapolis.

We have two more long months of summer to endure with this level of violent crime occurring nightly. We can not sit in our yards, allow our children out to play, or even feel safe parking our cars in front of our homes. 1) You don't sit in your yards because, you and John stand in others' yards and take pictures to post on your blogs! 2) Since when do you have any children? Oh, John doesn't pay for the one he has. 3) Does John even HAVE a car? This is an injustice to all of us that live in north Minneapolis. We are all property tax payers, but what services are we getting for these funds? A-HA! There it is! I am sure I don't need to remind you that everyone ELSE are property taxpayers because, your parents are now obligated to pay taxes after they bought your house after you defaulted on the loan and the bank foreclosed. Again, John doesn't pay his taxes and Hawthorne Hawkman, Jeff Skrenes (Housing Director) doesn't either because, he RENTS.
So, I guess you, John and Jeff all get what you pay for... Nothing.
We have been told in meetings we attend that fighting crime IS a priority for north Minneapolis. However, we, as citizens are not seeing any of those efforts. Instead we wake up to headlines in the newspaper of record, Star Tribune that there were seven shootings in seven hours in north Minneapolis. That is if we have not been personally affected by those shootings, like I was last Monday night. No shit? Hmm either they were aiming for you or you are an idiot for knowingly hanging around areas where there is terrorism. Or were you just standing on a corner, minding your own business? Our property values have already shrunk, and headlines like the one above will keep anyone from considering moving to north Minneapolis. With the number of empty homes we already have, how much more in property taxes will we have to pay for people that are fed up with the crime and violence and just move, or worse, rent to anyone they can find? That is a good question and I think the good taxpayers should be asking that question rather than the non-taxpayers like you, John and Jeff.

Each and every day that I am driving around my neighborhood I see drug deals, hookers meeting up with johns, stolen property being sold in the open, Like the weed eater John had you pull over for so he could buy it and blog about his good deal. large gatherings and public disturbances, littering, boom cars, people walking down the middle of the street. It's like the land of the lawless. If you are short on revenue, just come here and fine these criminals and you will generate enough revenue to be able to hire more police who can actually keep our streets safe and fight bigger crime. Are you kidding? You and John spend SO much time blogging with your tongues up police asses, saying on your blogs how much you appreciate what they do for you yet, you literally toss them under the bus with that statement! Maybe the next bullet you have to avoid will be coming from one of the officers of the Fourth Precinct?

Bring in more police, more sheriff deputies, heck, bring in the National Guard! Keep our people safe! AHAHAHA! More police and sheriff deputies for you to sweep under the bus! I love it! National Guard? OH THATS RIGHT... John is supposedly going into the National Guard! Maybe we will all get a laugh when we see John's head popping out of a tank rolling down a NoMi street sort of like when Dukakis did it in '88 running for President and looked like a total idiot.

I know for sure if seven people were shot in Windom or Linden Hills or Wayzata or Apple Valley you would not even blink at the idea of declaring a state of emergency and bringing in U.S. Soldiers! What makes north Minneapolis less deserving of public safety? Maybe because, its people like you who have the nerve to kiss ass and promote people running for office and the local police then turn around and slam them in letters like yours and copy it to every other elected official to highlight the lousy job they have done.

Please respond to me so that I can share it with the neighbors that I am copying on this letter. I will share any and all responses, and I will share if there is NO response. Oh, this is just TOO good! You tell them to respond or else you will bitch some more AND you will bitch even if they DON'T respond! Thats the way Democracy is done!
(Jim's note: As I was writing this post, I sent Megan a text message to her cell phone after the City of Minneapolis made the number public by posting it on their website (Megan gave it to the city with her contact info actually). Well Megan flipped out and had some VERY determined words for me by God! So, when I saw Megan threaten to bitch and share publicly if people didn't respond to her letter and she said she will share even if they don't respond, I thought how perfect!!!
Stay tuned to read ALL the exciting text content between me and Megan. In fact, it is coming in "THE VERY NEXT POST!"
Thank you for your time and attention,  Oops! I mis-read that to say, "Fuck you very much"
