Those Norwegians are getting out of control.

This is why they dont want light rail running to southwest suburbs

Hey let’s build light rail into every burb in the metro, what could possibly go wrong.

The Twins made a mistake building the stadium downtown. It should have been built out in a suburb.

Any chance usual suspects? In other news, the twins lost tonight.

Police never show up until it's too late

People with disabilities like myself have to depend on public transportation. I will use other means of transportation instead of the city bus and light rail. It has become too dangerous. Clean up the crime and people will come back.

All you Twin's fans, that had to walk the rest of way to the stadium, now you know what your tax dollars are being used for. Batter up!!!!

I'm constantly being told it's safe, vibrant and thriving. Downtown MPLS is apparently back baby!

Prayers for the poor boy's family. What an absolute tragedy! I hope they find the peace that they so desperately will need and the strength to endure it.

Federal data shows Twin Cities light rail is the most dangerous in America

Metro Transit has consistently operated one of the most dangerous light rail systems in the country since 2014.

One of my least favorite light rail stations. I am not surprised.

Got to find more things for the youth to do especially the ones who are already at risk living in broken homes

Minneapolis welcome to all this crap in a long time ago. Minneapolis is over dead and done.
