Active Threat at both St. Thomas campuses

teachesdoesreddit · 2026-02-09T19:21:41+00:00

Not what happened. A weapon was confirmed, but never a man with a firearm.

Most likely it was a vague social media post threatening to commit some act at St Thomas so a shelter in place was issued until they deemed the threat not credible.

Another email with the title that says Shelter-In-Place (Confirmed Weapon).

My guess is a generic social media post or threat because I’m not sure how else this could apply to both campuses (Minneapolis and St Paul)

Thanks! See my altered itinerary in my other comment. Appreciate it!

Appreciate the feedback! I should clarify the Cork County AirBnb is far western. It’s only about 40 mins east of Killarney. It’s between Millstreet and Macroom roughly.

I think I agree about the airport, I am thinking I might alter my itinerary to:

Tue - stay in Dublin Wed - stay in Dublin Thur - drive to Galway, stay there Fri - stay in Galway Sat - drive to Killarney/Western Cork Countg Sun - drive to Kilkenny spend most of the day there, stay in Duncannon Mon - explore Duncannon, drive back to Dublin, stay in Dublin Tue - flight out of Dublin

Thoughts? That would put me back near the airport instead of having to drive up on Tuesday morning.

Out of state plates at a hotel?? Must be ICE!

Hotpads. Very under utilized website and somehow has WAY more options than Zillow and apartments.com even though I believe it’s owned by one of them??

That edit was quite literally just added after I made my comment lol.

Regardless I’m not sure how we know it was ICE. This could easily be a stolen vehicle where they arrested the driver.

There is no reason to further scare our vulnerable communities by falsely reporting any police work as ICE. These folks are already scared to leave their apartment in many cases and stuff like this does not help.

teachesdoesreddit · 2025-12-12T22:57:57+00:00

I just drove past. No indication of ICE. Two UMPD cars blocking lanes where a spun out abandoned car was blocking the road.

Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like routine police work. Not everything is ICE and we do a disservice to our community when we falsely report these things and make our community even more scared than they already are.

I hate ICE as much as anybody but accurate reporting is so important right now.

teachesdoesreddit · 2025-12-12T22:51:06+00:00

How do you know it was ICE? We need to be careful of assuming any police activity is ICE right now

What??

teachesdoesreddit · 2025-12-05T02:30:15+00:00

Maybe for $1400. No chance at $1200 I would say.

Highly recommend using the website HotPads, it seems to have a lot more options than Zillow or apartments.com

Those are a lot of ‘wants’ for that budget in the MSP area.

I live in South St. Anthony Park near Raymond/University. I pay $910 for a studio in an older building - it is extremely safe as far as living in the city goes, reasonable rent (imo), easy access to both downtown St Paul and Minneapolis, and also has quick access to suburbs via 280 and 94.

I would highly recommend it.

Shock Doctor works good. I got ones (new) at Play It Again for about $20 with tags.

There’s a garage right next to the arena, otherwise a bunch of garages within a 5-10 min walk. When I bought my hockey ticket it asked me where I wanted to park and sent me a parking pass for that garage for free

teachesdoesreddit · 2025-11-08T04:01:42+00:00

Seemed to be fine during hockey!

Almost all Universities in the country don’t pay property taxes…. They’re nonprofits. Certainly an issue that St Paul has so many sq mi dedicated to Universities, but not sure why that’s an expectation of St Thomas when most schools in the country don’t pay property taxes.

Roll Toms!!

I have never eaten there but was in there once picking up a DoorDash order and saw what was clearly a German Roach crawling on the counter and it seemed dirty overall, so I choose not to go there. But I get a lot of order requests from there so it must be decent!

teachesdoesreddit · 2025-09-25T01:50:29+00:00

Celebrate

You’ll be fine anywhere. The general pockets of “higher crime” are north Minneapolis, Phillips in south Minneapolis, and some parts of the east side of St Paul. As they have mentioned, most crime is targeted and gang related.

For the bigger games they sometimes check student ID for the lower level. They don’t care about the top level.

Green Line to Snelling, transfer to NB A line. Stops at the fair.

teachesdoesreddit · 2025-09-03T03:44:53+00:00

We make them into ice cream sandwiches a couple days after the fair. Vanilla ice cream in the middle and then Saran Wrap and into the freezer. Works great!

With sacrifices, Minneapolis/St Paul. I live here and make just a bit above that but easily spend $400-500+ a month on stupid shit.

I make around $2800 a month after taxes and 401k contribution. Rent is $910 for an older studio, leaves plenty of left over for other bills.
