Here ya go ... no mention of race, and no unsightly pictures of the suspect whose name makes him sound like a nice Irish boy.
Thank you for the ping.
You're correct, it's that same old political correctness in the MSM: can't say that the perp was black and that the victim was white, especially in a case like this where the crime may have been racially motivated.
Used to be a time when the Twin Cities were considered about the safest major metro area in the country. But no longer, from what I can tell. Unfortunately for the victim and his family, they may not have realized that times have changed for the worse.
