Winnipeg Sun- Family hunts down stolen car after being told no cops available for dispatch

In the last week I’ve seen videos of fisticuffs on a bus, a machete-wielding goon wandering into the street at night approaching oncoming cars, and even an attempted firebombing that backfired and resulted in the Molotov-tosser being ignited when the bomb was tossed back.

•Will it simmer for days?
•Or should we bury it?
Step 3: Editorial Meeting – The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, editors decide on the narrative framing and who to assign to write it.
But before they assign a journalist, they make one critical call — to the Deep State.

This is a super thread.
