Mitchell Erickson’s fingers began dialing 911 last week before he had a chance to even consider alternatives, when two black teenagers who looked to be 15, at most, cornered him outside his home a block away from the park.
One of the boys pointed a gun at Mr. Erickson’s chest, demanding his car keys.
Flustered, Mr. Erickson handed over a set, but it turned out to be house keys. The teenagers got frustrated and ran off, then stole a different car down the street.
Mr. Erickson said later that he would not cooperate with prosecutors in a case against the boys. After the altercation, he realized that if there was anything he wanted, it was to offer them help. But he still felt it had been right to call the authorities because there was a gun involved.
Two days after an initial conversation, his position had evolved. “Been thinking more about it,” he wrote in a text message. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.”

They pointed a gun at your chest and you’re worried about them being put at risk for death?
Fine, sacrifice yourself next time and we’ll be better off without another bleeding heart liberal.
“Get the hell out of that stupid town immediately!!”
They created it!
These self loathing morons are experiencing the greatest self imposed guilt trip ever.
I haven’t an ounce of sympathy for them.
from the archive link above:
[What about the fact that the boys had put his life in danger?
“Yeah I know and yeah it was scary but the cops didn’t really have much to add after I called them,” he replied. “I haven’t been forced to think like this before. So I would have lost my car. So what? At least no one would have been killed.”]
I’m sure they would not have committed any more crimes, especially with his car. Hey, real life GTA. Bangin’.
Thank you! Read it completely.
What a clueless group of people.
let one of their little kids get molested by one of those "oppressed" people and we'll see if their attitudes change...but then again, they'll find a way to defer the blame on some phantom white privilege..
I wonder if they treat the "oppressed" poor whites the same as the "oppressed" blacks...
From the archived article:
[MINNEAPOLIS — When Shari Albers moved three decades ago into Powderhorn Park, a tree-lined Minneapolis neighborhood known as a haven to leftist activists and bohemian artists like herself, she went to work sprucing it up.
She became a block club leader, organizing her mostly white neighbors to bring in playgrounds and help tackle longstanding issues with crime.
On many nights, she banged on the car windows of men who had come to solicit prostitutes outside her door, she said. She kept meticulous notes when dozens of men would gather in a circle for gang meetings in the park across from her house. After each episode, she called the police.]
Wow, in the past, this liberal put many of the prostitutes’ customers at risk with the police.
I feel she should pay reparations to all of those people.
If they point a gun at his chest, and pull the trigger, it really WILL give new meaning to the term, “bleeding heart ❤️ liberal.” 😁 I truly hope these idiots don’t reproduce. 🤗
“I haven’t been forced to think like this before."
He may think he’s preventing a future event by spreading this liberal manure, err “doctrine”.
Or he’s hoping for a GoFundMe.
WTH does that even mean? I don’t know what these people are saying anymore. They’re just babbling buzz words backed up with feelings and confusion.
Imagine your neighbors calling a meeting to talk about crime, and everyone votes to stop calling the police. lol
Well she used to do that.
Now she can’t figure out why things are going bad in the neighborhood.
This is the widespread woke retardation that is mandatory in Minnesota.
Stupid Swede. Some things don’t change.

Not sure insurance would have paid off without a police report to confirm that it had been stolen.
These White Guilt idiots are truly too stupid to breathe. They should do their part for Global Warming by begging the next guy that puts a gun to their chest to pull the trigger.
OMG...How many borg are just like this?
The lefties are on drugs. They sympathize with BLM, because they’re paranoid and don’t want to be busted.
Hey, Mitchell, they have your house keys and now your address. Be a good little liberal and don’t change your locks.
Somehow I think this whole story was made up by the black female reporter.
Thanks for the article. Not just one stupid lib in the article but a whole neighborhood full of them! And I bet they’re all Biden supporters. Sickening! These people are fools.
