Law-abiding men, your country needs you

A few years back, I was eating Easter dinner with my extended family. Suddenly, we witnessed a police chase that ended with the fleeing driver crashing onto my property.

As my son-in-law and I went out to investigate, the person took off running. I ended up bear-hugging and tackling him until the trooper regained control. I never thought twice about aiding the trooper, even though I was in my late 50s.

My question is: Where are all the law-abiding men in Minnesota? Where are the VFW guys? Are there no Republican men left in the state?

The solution for all the Immigration and Customs Enforcement unrest is for the true American men to stand up.

Where are you, Minnesota vets? Your country needs you.
