I was listening to news reports of the crime when it first occurred and the police spokesman seemed awfully nervous as he gave an account of what was known at the time. He said don’t jump to conclusions and he hesitated to characterize it as a robbery. My gut feeling, listening to him, and on the heels of the Christmas bomber, was that the policeman was looking forward to blaming some Scandinavian right-wing hate group for a “retaliation”-type crime. Now the cops have no one to blame but the Somalis.
MPLS is now always a bit leary of blaming the real bad guys...until the real bad guys are proven to be at fault...
The local authorities have been cowed by the immigrant community.
