MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The runner-up in the Minneapolis mayoral election is recovering after being robbed and brutally beaten Thursday night at the Mall of America.
Mark Andrew, 63, was at a Starbucks inside the mall at around 7 p.m. Thursday when a man grabbed his phone off his table and ran off.
When Andrew went after him, he was tackled by two teenage girls – aged 18 and 17 — one of which began beating him with a billy club. During the attack, they told Andrew, “We’re going to kill you,” police say.
Andrew was left with a large gash on his head that required nine stitches. He has since been released from the hospital.

Whew! Stories like this sure do make me glad I’m a tea drinker!
Normally, I would tell my son never to hit a girl, but in this case, I would tell him to swing away.
Does anyone think there may be a market for flashbangs that look like smartphones and can be detonated remotely?
Just wondering.
I am reading about more and more street crime at the Mall of America-I wonder if at some point business will begin to fall off to a noticeable degree.
They have a great Lego store there. We stop every year, but
becoming concerned.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
If he was a liberal, the headline would have said so. The next line would have been mugged by a suspected Tea Party, gun carrying, hater with a really strange name almost as bad as Sarah Palin’s kids names.
Welcome to the Tea Party! (How’d you like the initiation?)
Da privileged cracker be needn’ a beat down cus Trayvon gettn’ justice.
There was no hate here, just needy black children acting out of desperation.
Whoever named this girl marked her for failure. No company is going to hire her. A name like that is a nuisance in the business world. Her first day on the job she would be insisting on the CORRECT mystery pronunciation of her name. Companies are tired of this old racist game. Whoever named this girl marked her for failure FOR LIFE. When this child gets out of jail, she needs to change her name.
“Aiding and abetting aggravated robbery”? How about ATTEMPTED MURDER?

Rig one up with some electro-shock therapy. Activate the video camera first, so you can enjoy the show.
That makes sense. There will be a lot more of this crap. With mobs of 400, 600. We better have something for defense.
The MOA has more video than Bubba’s bedroom! Surely this attack was all captured!!
Hate crime? Naw. Only white on black crimes are subject to federal prosecution.
Sadly, I’m not surprised by this.
It’s become open season, more than usual, on the melanin deficient.
At what point do we publicly acknowledge what we already know?
He a white lefty.
Former Hennepin County (Minneapolis) commissioner registered in what Minnesota calls the “Democrat-Farm-Labor” party; he recently came in second in Mpls out of 35 mayoral candidates.
If they’d change the name to Democrat-Farm-Labor-Welfare-Teen-Ute-Free-iPhone Party they wouldn’t have this problem.
Eventually have to work “Unlimited Illegal Alien” into the name too, but they can cross that bridge after it also begins to crumble under them.
He ran after Obama's spawn like he was George Zimmerman, and the girls were just standing their ground. Unless they charge him with a hate crime there won't be such a charge.
Welcome to the Tea Party! (How’d you like the initiation?)
Based on her statements and the photo of the victim, she should be charged with attempted murder.
Of course it the victim had shot and killed her it would be another Trayvon scenario.
