Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson says: “High school graduation ceremonies are a rite of passage. A time for friends and family to come together to celebrate one of life’s major milestones. To bring machineguns and violence to such a ceremony is immoral and shameful. On behalf of all Minnesotans, I want to express a sense of moral outrage at these crimes and assure the public that the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Sure, he is full of “moral outrage,” but will Thompson address the culture of violence that Minnesota officials have unwisely brought into their state? Not on your life.
“Two Men Charged Federally with Possession of Machineguns related to Graduation Ceremony Shootings,” Justice Department, June 11, 2025:
St. Paul, Minn. – Hamza Abdirashiid Said, 20, and Amiir Mawlid Ali, 18, have been charged federally with unlawfully possessing machineguns, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson.
According to court documents, on May 30, 2025, at approximately 8:00 p.m., University of Minnesota Police (UMPD) responded to a report of a shooting at the Mariucci Arena on the University of Minnesota Campus. The arena was hosting the Wayzata High School graduation ceremony at the time of the shooting, with numerous pedestrians and attendees outside. Officers found a chaotic scene in which two victims—both attendees of the graduation ceremony—suffered gunshot wounds. After interviewing witness and viewing surveillance footage, law enforcement located and apprehended the shooter, Hamza Said. Law enforcement also recovered a Glock 9mm semiautomatic pistol equipped with a high-capacity extended magazine and a machinegun conversion device, commonly called a “switch.” Switches turn semi-automatic handguns into fully automatic machineguns. Said has been federally charged by complaint with unlawful possession of a machinegun.
According to court documents, on June 3, 2025, at approximately 3:44 p.m., MPD officers observed a vehicle fail to stop at an intersection. The vehicle then accelerated aggressively through the intersection, and officers noted the windows were tinted to such a degree that they could not observe the interior of the vehicle. The officers initiated a traffic stop and identified three occupants of the vehicle. An MPD officer recognized the front passenger as Amiir Ali. The officer knew from prior investigations that Ali was associated with multiple recent gang-related shootings and was known to carry firearms. The occupants stated they were heading to the Edina High School graduation ceremony at the University of Minnesota. Officers were aware of a shooting that occurred at the Wayzata High School graduation ceremony at the same location just four days earlier. Officers located a Glock 10mm semiautomatic firearm under Ali’s seat. The Glock was equipped with a loaded 33-round extended magazine and a machinegun conversion device, also known as a switch. Ali was arrested when he was located by police responding to the June 6, 2025 shooting at the Burnsville High School graduation ceremony. In recorded jail calls, Ali said that, upon his release, he would need a “button,” a slang term for a switch or machinegun conversion device. Ali has been federally charged by complaint with unlawful possession of a machinegun.

We call it MiniMogadishu in the Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan. I’m there now.
Yeah, Madison and Milwaukee ruin Wisconsin, too.
But, I looked it up and President Trump only won 9 Counties out of 87 in Minnesota - the rest went to, ‘what’s her name.’
And, yes, Northern MN is nice and normal, as is northern WI. Even though I moved OUT of a Blue County, the one I am in now is Purple. :(
Trump did win Wisconsin in 2024. I firmly believe he won in 2020 as well and the changes we made to our Constitution and ‘outside money’ and ‘vote drop boxes’ after ‘The Steal’ helped a ton in terms of cleaning up the 2024 election and handing a THIRD win to President Trump.
Thanks for posting. HOORAY Robert Spencer!

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown...
Minneapolis is Mogadishu USA. Who could foresee such problems?
They need to be jailed in solitary for a long time.
Deporting them leaves them free. There’s no punishment for them.
Gitmo them or maybe reopen Alcatraz.
You’ve got that backwards, Diana. Commie-la only won 9 counties...by 43% in each of the Twin Cities, by 10% in two adjacent counties, all three of the northeast tip and two others, one by only .48%.
Can’t deport U.S. citizens. They were born here and are the children of Somali “refugees” the U.S. admitted during the Clinton administration.
Good point Muslims doing what they do daily.
Past time to reverse the flow and send them all back to their sand-covered paradise.
Here’s hoping you have an exit strategy.
I used to love to visit Minneapolis, especially Lake Calhoun in the summertime. But now that the city has become Mogadishu on the Mississippi and the lake has become Bidet Mucho Caca, I wouldn’t go there on a bet.
Looks like one of them is a deeply tanned Sideshow Bob. Both of them should be publicly hung from a lamppost and left on display as a wrining.
And they are called Glock switches not just switches, dumbass has an agenda to try and scare ignorant people with his bullshiite. Switches, Eh? Like light switches, toggle switches, rocker switches, limit switches?
Tampon Tim will just keep recruiting muslims with Ellison as AG. Walz needs the liberal vote and Ellison is a leading recruiter. Kiss Minnesota goodbye.
Way to go, Tim.
Yeah, I know. I used to go to the U west bank medical/surgery center fairly regularly. They were everywhere, with scowls on their faces to greet you.
Alcatraz-—
What a Lovely Sound,
.
No ‘Buttons’ to Push there!
Thank you! I went looking some more. I DID have it backwards, based upon the poor wording at another site. Liars! Glad to see President Trump took so many counties.

Yeah, MN and WI are both pretty much run by just a few counties. But we’re not Illinois! Cold comfort. ;)
Ping to Post #38.
