The son of an expelled ex-Minnesota state representative with a previous hit-and-run conviction in California was arrested and charged with murder for allegedly plowing into a vehicle carrying five Somali women, killing them all, in Minneapolis.
Horrifying video shows the moment Derrick John Thompson, 27, smashed into the car carrying Sabiriin Ali, 17, Sahra Gesaade, 20, Salma Abdikadir, 20, Sagal Hersi, 19, and Siham Adam, 19, officials said.
Thompson has a criminal record that includes a 2018 hit-and-run in California that gave the woman life-changing injuries. She spent several weeks in a coma.
He was given an eight-year sentence, with 502 days as credit for time already served and another 75 days credit for good behavior.
Thompson was freed and on Friday is suspected of being behind the wheel of a speeding car that tried to flee a police officer when it crashed into a vehicle with the five women on Lake Street as they were getting ready for a friend's wedding the next day.
When contacted as to why he was out of prison, the Santa Barbara County District Attorney could not give any specific reason but suggested that California's proposition 57 gave the state 'wide latitude to award additional custody credits, as well as, early parole opportunities.'
Under the law as they saw it, Thompson should've had to spend another five-and-a-half years in prison.
The vehicle Thompson was driving at the time had over 17 pounds of marijuana and $20,000 in cash, according to Fox News.
It is one of Thompson's many arrests and a lengthy rap sheet for the son of a disgraced Minnesota politician.
Thompson's father John Thompson was expelled from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party caucus in September 2021 for lying about being racially profiled by a police officer over his past problems with the law...

She's the one who married her brother.
Wonder if daddy had anything to do with the perp getting out of jail early in California...
My, my, my, my, my, my, my.
He will not last long in prison this time.

Should have stayed in Mogadishu.
What pull would a Minnesota state rep gave in CA?
Horrific video. Cannot believe he survived. Can believe he was released to do it. Rats gonna rat.
The video of the crash is horrific. Its a now you see it now you dont sort of thing. The womens car is crossing the intersection, then the perps car enters from screen right at such a high rate of speed, theres a shower of sparks and both cars are gone, presumably off screen left.
Typical of the Daily Mail. And of course, the headline implies that he intentionally killed five Muslim women, when the actual event was a fatal accident caused by reckless driving.
He is a dead man walking when the Muslim Brotherhood gets him in the yard. His end will be painful and slow. Justice exists—but not in a courtroom.
Why would he have 17 pounds of pot, which is practically legal in Minnesota, anymore?
And why would a felon have $20,000 in cash?
Was he going to pay his state taxes on said pot?
Or will his daddy blame the police on causing a car chase ...
A FIVE dead people body count tally. Is this going to be considered “gun violence” and go in the DemonRATS’ “Gun Violence” column?
The problem is:
It’s not OUR guns,
It’s YOUR sons.
“Why would he have 17 pounds of pot, which is practically legal in Minnesota, anymore?
And why would a felon have $20,000 in cash? Was he going to pay his state taxes on said pot?”
Because he started out with twice as much (bought legally) in an abutting state?
Marijuana is discovered in nearly every Felony. We jail the Felons, and Dims harvest their votes to win by single digits, to degrade a generation of children of current American Social Order even further.
Poof!it’s gone...
I see one VERY lucky driver going in the opposite direction!
Obviously his mind has been colonized by white supremacy.
Sounds like a typical Trump voter.
