Brian Ingram, owner of several restaurants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, is closing his Apostle Supper Club due to escalating crime and insufficient action from local officials. Ingram criticizes the local legal system for failing to hold criminals accountable, resulting in increased safety concerns for both staff and customers. He recounts difficulties in getting police reports filed, further complicating public safety. Despite official crime statistics showing reductions in some categories, a recent surge in gun violence has raised alarm, prompting Ingram’s decision to shut down his business.
"Crime has just kind of spiraled out of control. It is maddening that our city officials are not standing on every corner going, 'We're done.'"
"As our DA and as our city attorneys and judges decided that we were no longer going to prosecute criminals, and just let them back out, it just kind of keeps exploding."
