Minneapolis-St. Paul restaurant owner closes business for crimes, shootings

A Minneapolis-St. Paul restaurant owner closes his doors and says that crime and lack of accountability by the city officials have made it impossible to continue working safely.

Brian Ingram, who has several restaurants, including the Apostle Supper Club in St. Paul, Minnesota, said that he had closed the business in the area due to crime. Now he would like to send a message to local managers.

“The crime only got out of control,” said Ingram during a appearance at “Fox & Friends” Friday. “It is crazy that our city officials don't stand on every corner, 'We're done.'”

Ingram accuses the collapse of public security about what he describes as a failure of the local prosecutors, judges and lawyers in order to hold criminals into account.

“How ours and our city walls and judges decided that we would no longer pursue criminals, we will simply let them out, it just explodes,” he said.

He referred to repeated burglaries and ongoing security concerns for employees and customers as reasons for closing.

In Ingram it is difficult to even submit a police report.

“I called 911 twice last month and both times the dispatcher told me that I couldn't let any police officer come to my business and make a report,” he said. “Well, of course the crime failed if you cannot submit a police report.”

According to the city of Minneapolis, certain crimes such as bodily harm, burglary, robbery and sex crimes decreased compared to this time in the previous year. Nevertheless, the city experienced a wave of weapons at the beginning of this week, killing five people and six others were injured in several shootings. The police examine whether the incidents are connected to gangs.

Ingram said he knew at least one repeat offender who broke his restaurant several times despite numerous arrests.

“He robbed me, came out of prison, came back, broken in a few days later, came back a few weeks later and did it again,” said Ingram. “This is amazing.”

In response to the latest violence, the police chief of Minneapolis, Brian O'Hara, published an explanation in which she expressed outrage over the shootings and promising patrol patrols.

“The level of violence that this city has experienced in less than 24 hours is annoying,” says the explanation. “Every single action causes immense grief and tears down families.”

While Ingram welcomed the police authority's response, he said that it wasn't enough unless even chosen officials also speak out.

“It's time to stand together,” he said. “I'm so full of this Republican Democrat, it is as if we all agree that crimes are crime, and if you commit a crime, you should go to prison.”

He pushed the Minneapolis-St. The Paul community to get together and push on guidelines that prioritize public security.

“As a community, we can stand together, be proud of our community, love in our community and stand for it and simply stop the madness,” said Ingram. “Common sense must prevail.”
