LOL.
I have nothing against him, but I do have something against the rhetoric. A journalist would have a moral compass. Like, do what you do correctly. If you catch business in fraud - no one here is with that, or we don't support that as a community. I don't support that myself. I was born and raised here. I'm not for fraud.
And yet ... the fraud is happening! Dozens of Minneapolis Somalis have been convicted of it in the last few years alone.
We're afterschool hours. so most of our clients... all of our clients are afterschool hours ... we don't have anyone in the morning.
The kids just arrive later in the day.
Nothing to see here!
Five problems:
One, Nick Shirley did not go to Quality Learing Center alone. He brought a local man, David, who has researched these daycares for years (including driving by daycares to see if kids were ever present).
At 18:15 in his video, Nick and David ask another local if he's ever seen kids at the Quality Learing Center. The man clearly says no, multiple times.
Quote: "I've been here since 2017 and I've never seen anybody like that."
All of this is anecdotal, of course, but that brings us to...
Two: Quality Learing Center has received 13 violations in the past few years, with other issues dating back to 2015 when the location had a different name.
Three: There are videos dating back 10 years showing how Somali parents pretend to drop off kids, then leave, in exchange for kickbacks (Fox 9 even has another video of a parent receiving a kickback payment).
This establishes proven precedent.
Four: This was not the only daycare that Nick and David visited in the viral video. No children were found any any of the Somali daycares. Nick even tried to enroll a child and was turned away.
Five: They misspelled "Learning" and have a defunct phone number ... but none of the Somalis running the "daycare" ever noticed.
If they are trying to disprove Nick, they are doing a terrible job of it.
There are other discrepancies as well, such as the official claim that the daycare had been shut down, combined with kids suddenly showing up after the story made the national news:
Look at the dweebs they have guarding the place now:
Somalia isn't sending their best ... but they managed to steal $9 billion anyway!
