That formula goes back, I think, to the 1980s, and while “neoconservative” has taken on a different meaning, it still holds true. The latest case in point is Shivanthi Sathanandan, a vice chairwoman of Minnesota’s Democrat-Farmer-Labor party. Like most Democrats, Sathanandan was anti-police and pro-criminal. In June 2020, she wanted to “dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department” …

But that all changed on Tuesday. Ms. Sathanandan was carjacked and viciously beaten[.]

[David will have more on this tomorrow morning. I do hope that Ms. Sathanadan recovers quickly and gets the justice she seeks, as does David in his upcoming post. However, that doesn’t make her immune from the “we told you sos” that should rain down all over the absurd city council members in Minneapolis who abandoned law enforcement in their city rather than just do the hard work necessary to enact any needed reforms. Now Sathanadan wants accountability and justice for the crimes committed against her and her family, and she should get it — but Sathanadan should be held accountable for turning Minneapolis into what it has become. — Ed]
