It wasn't meant to be funny but when you read Wednesday's New York Times story about virtue-signaling liberals living in the Minneapolis neighborhood of Powderhorn Park trying to avoid calling police despite rising crime due to a new homeless encampment it comes off as hilarious inadvertent comedy. A big factor in the comedic entertainment is provided by Times reporter Caitlin Dickerson writing in all seriousness about how the besieged neighborhood liberals can enforce the law without actually calling law enforcement.

The comedy begins with the very title of the story, "A Minneapolis Neighborhood Vowed to Check Its Privilege. It’s Already Being Tested." Yup, vowing to check your "privilege" by the virtue signalers has put the liberals in a rather comedic conundrum of their own making as you can see from the first example presented:
