Police Issue Warning After Cyclists Randomly Attacked In Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Random attacks against bicyclists in Minneapolis are prompting warnings Sunday from police. We’ll warn you, there are disturbing photos with this story as someone’s been throwing chunks of concrete at bikers. Two people were hit on Friday in separate incidents, including 20-year-old Mackenzie Jensen of south Minneapolis.

He was biking on a quiet south Minneapolis block of 41st Street when officers say he was attacked out of the blue. A woman who was hit was in the same area. The female victim was grazed with the chunk of cinder block but the other victim, avid bicyclist Mackenzie Jensen, is in rough shape.

In a bike community like this, his story and his photos may come as particularly unsettling.

A few years ago, my Dad’s windshield was smashed by a large rock dropped from a pedestrian overpass. Youths.

Nice bike! Where can I order one? Can I purchase the belt feed version?

4000 B.C. style attack by thugs with a 4000 b.c. worldview.

“Me throw rock. Look me find thing like rock. Me throw at smart person. Me no like smart person. Make me look dumb.

Me throw rock.”

So far, there is nothing that would indicate that the perp was a member of America’s first and foremost specially-privileged minority group.

Except the perp was driving a white bronco.

Funny they can describe the color of the car and it's wood "windows" but refuse to name the race of the perp. it *might* be helpful.

All the media can do is report the crime and car involved as a “get away”.

We all know “who” did it.....
