Aranda previously told authorities he was incensed after years of women rejecting his advances and he was “looking for someone to kill.”

Bernie Sanders & Kamala Harris want to let Aranda vote from jail like the Boston Bomber.
I recommend the first three seconds be spent going through the hell he put Landen through.
Personally, being an “Old Testament” sort of guy, I think somebody should have tossed ARANDA off the same balcony & see if he can fly.

I hope someone throws this guy off a cellblock balcony.
It seems as far as his sentencing his mental capacity was taken into consideration. So what if he’s not playing with a full deck? Judging by his record, if Floyd Mayweather, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, Conner McGregor,etc were standing at the same exact spot at the same exact time instead of that child he would’ve had the wherewithal not to start sh!t with those guys. That POS knew damn well what he was doing.
"Emmanuel Aranda, 24, faces 19 years behind bars after admitting to grabbing little Landen Hoffmann, hefting him up and throwing him nearly 40 feet to the floor of the sprawling shopping center — leaving the child with head trauma and multiple broken bones.
Aranda previously told authorities that he’d chosen Landen at random, after going to the Minnesota mall “looking for someone to kill” in a rage fueled by years of rejection by women.
He nearly succeeded, but Landen’s family said two weeks after the nightmarish attack that their son was “alert and conscious” and no longer in critical condition. ...”
He’s scheduled to be sentenced on June 3...”
He tried to kill that child, and all he gets is 19 years! I hope he gets prison justice.
Why 19 instead of 20? They have a thing for odd numbers over there?
Amanda Granlund still vividly recalls that busy Sunday back in 2014 when a patron walked into her Golden Nugget restaurant in Ravenswood and ordered breakfast.
Nothing seemed amiss as Emmanuel Aranda sat quietly and finished his meal.
But then he asked restaurant staff for permission to call his bank after his card was declined, Granlund said.
Things quickly spiraled when a customer sitting at the counter asked a server in Spanish to be moved to a table because Aranda smelled so bad he couldn’t finish his meal.
“That’s when (Aranda) got up and he said, ‘I know what you just said. You said that I smell like s-—.’ And he picked up a plate and cracked him in the head with it,”...”
A self-described news junkie, Granlund said she heard about the attack on the news soon after it occurred last Friday, but she didn’t make the connection until Sunday when a co-worker mentioned the Golden Nugget incident.
“She said, ‘I heard on the news he has ties to Chicago and I believe they said the Golden Nugget.’
And I said, ‘Oh, my God! Wouldn’t that be crazy if it was the same guy we had in here?”
After seeing Aranda’s mug shot, she knew it was the same man.
A longtime server at the Golden Nugget on West Lawrence Avenue, Granlund said the incident with Aranda was the most harrowing she’d ever faced there.
“I’ve been here for 20 years at this particular location and I’ve never, ever been that frightened,” said Granlund, 42, the daughter of a former Chicago police officer.
After attacking the customer, Aranda quickly looked through his backpack and pulled out a knife, she said. “And he went to go stab the guy. And the guy was thankfully so thin that he was able to dodge (the blows).
He did it about four or five times.”
Aranda began running around the restaurant, brandishing the knife and yelling, “Someone’s gonna die,” Granlund said.
Some patrons ran for the kitchen while others put their children under tables to shield them.
Granlund’s boss was already on the phone with police and warned Aranda that officers were on their way, prompting Aranda to flee the restaurant.
Officers arrested Aranda a short time later.
The sentance should be the same for crime x2
Hopefully the Aryan Brotherhood takes care of this POS.
Not long or harsh enough.
That was attempted murder..... of a CHILD.
The human part of me thinks he ought to be tossed from the top of the Empire state building. Enough time to think about what he did on his way down and how that kid he tossed felt.
This is why EVERY black person’s mug shot is smug and arrogant. White people need to wake up, yes you FReepers too.
I wish he’d have gotten the death penalty.
He obviously tried to kill the kid. That meets the threshold for me.
While he’s in prison he should be thrown off of an upper deck just to see if he can defy gravity.
Get a rope.

“The Star Tribune reports that Aranda will spend 19 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted first-degree murder.
During Tuesday’s court proceeding, Aranda responded affirmatively when he was asked if he threw the boy from the balcony “with the intent of killing” him.
“You didn’t just drop him, but you threw him over the railing, correct?”
Hennepin County Attorney Cheri Townsend asked Aranda, who agreed with her description of the events.
As previously reported, the criminal complaint in the case stated that Aranda was “looking for someone to kill” and said he “planned to kill an adult, because they usually stand near the balcony, but he chose the victim instead.”
The complaint also revealed that Aranda had been visiting the Mall of America for years and “had made efforts to talk to women in the Mall, but had been rejected, and the rejection caused him to lash out and to be aggressive.” ...”
