MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A Fourth of July tradition that’s been around for decades is canceled this year because police fear it draws gangs.


Police urged the City of Richfield to cancel its annual Fourth of July Carnival at Veterans Park.


“I was kind of bummed,” said resident Maria Casillas, “because every year we come out to the carnival.”


Casillas thinks it’s ridiculous for the gangs to ruin the carnival for her, her two children and other families.

Who wants to bet that most of these thugs are BLACK? Not ALL but most. Show me how I am wrong!

I lived there 10 years. We had one black kid go to school with us in the whole time I lived there. I still remember his name. Never had a problem with him but the Indians were pretty bad at that time. Had to run like hell to get home from school without getting scalped.

Southdale shopping center ( the first mall in the world). Was right across the street. Great place to grow up if you didn't mind freezing your ass of in the winter.
