- The Star Tribune reports on homicide #1 here. No known suspects, motive or witnesses but the area had a few homicides in 2008.
- Carl Eller is GUILTY. Was there ever any doubt? He did succeed in getting his charges reduced after slapping the city with a lawsuit. And he says he plans to appeal. Sorry Carl, lay off the booze when you are driving. Even if you don't care about the MPD, your neighbors will thank you.
- This story broke a few days ago--the woman who reported being beaten as part of a hate crime against gays. Some have already suggested that this may be another false report. The reporting on this hasn't done this woman any favors, if that is not the case. I would prefer to withhold judgment.
- Riot at Juvie Hall in Hennepin County (KSTP)
- 4th Precinct CARE is following several livability crimes involving vacant houses, dumping, drug dealing and graffiti.
- Johnny Northside is following the saga of an attempted coup in the Jordan Neighborhood organization, JACC. MPD is involved and some property crime may have been committed. Must See TV, or at least utube.
MPD Crime Alert below:
------------------------------------------------
On Friday January 23 at approximately 9:00 a.m., there was a possible luring attempt that occurred at Mount Olivet Nursery School-5025 Knox Av S. A white male approximately 65 years old was standing in the hallway when parents were arriving to drop off their children at school. The male then tried to engage the children in conversation. When the children were beckoned to come to class, the suspect pulled stuffed toys out of a bag and asked them to come closer. At this point, the children were retrieved by a parent.
The male suspect left immediately following this incident and possibly left in a vehicle. The suspect is described as a white male, 65 years old, 6'00", medium build, white hair, balding, wearing a gray two-piece snow suit and gray knit cap. The suspect also appeared to be intoxicated. There is no description of the vehicle that suspect used.

Some? You mean that bigoted wingnut, "The Admiral" doesn't think it's true. Say it ain't so.
Sounds to me like you've already passed judgment too.
Nope. Did not. The main reason I posted the admiral's opposing view was that I wanted to get it out there before somebody complained I didn't question it enough. Every time there is an attack on somebody for any reason these days somebody is already ready with the false report charge. It's sad but that's the way it is with people.
...then my apologies for passing judgment on you.
