There will be a reckoning with the violent, useless, parasitic, criminal underclass in this country.
They have no place here.

APPLE VALLEY, Minn. (WCCO) — An Apple Valley man has been charged after inflicting harm upon his infant son, who later died of his injuries.
Police say Michael Herkal, 32, was taken into custody Sunday after responding to two 911 calls regarding the child. The first was placed by the infant’s mother, Herkal’s girlfriend, who was not in the home at the time of the assault. The second was placed by Herkal.
Upon arriving to the residence around 7:30 p.m., officers found Herkal’s 13-day-old son unresponsive on the living room floor.
The infant, Anthony Herkal, had begun to turn blue in the lips and purple in his extremities by the time emergency responders arrived. Because Anthony didn’t appear to have a pulse, officers performed CPR and administered an AED. Officers also noticed bruising over many areas on Anthony’s body.
Herkal initially told police his 2-year-old son pulled Anthony off the couch twice. After the first fall, Herkal said Anthony appeared to be fine. After the second fall, Herkal said Anthony was gurgling and began to change colors.
Herkal attempted to reach Anthony’s mother, identified as JK, twice before calling 911. When she asked why he hadn’t contacted the police yet, he told her he was trying to revive the child himself.
During questioning by investigators, Herkal changed his story.
Herkal said he was actually changing Anthony’s diaper when the baby wouldn’t stop kicking, so he squeezed him. He also said Anthony slipped out of his hands and fell onto a coffee table, causing the child’s bruising.
After looking through Herkal’s phone for evidence, police found Google searches for “someone threw a baby on the floor,” “baby breathing hard,” “noisy baby breathing: what’s normal and what’s not,” among others.
Anthony was transported to Fairview Ridges Hospital and then transferred to Children’s Masonic Hospital because he couldn’t breathe on his own. He was subsequently diagnosed with a diffused brain injury as a result of trauma coupled with a prolonged lack of oxygen. Anthony died Tuesday from his injuries.
Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said once his office receives autopsy results from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, additional charges relating to Anthony’s death will be filed.
“It is heartbreaking that the serious injuries suffered by this helpless infant have now led to his death,” Backstrom said in a statement. “On behalf of everyone involved in the investigation and prosecution of this case, I want to express our deepest sympathy to Anthony Herkal’s family.”
Herkal is currently charged with first-degree assault and malicious punishment of a child.
There will be a reckoning with the violent, useless, parasitic, criminal underclass in this country.

I already know the father is beyond scum, but what kind of mother leaves her 13 day old baby for ANY reason? What kind of woman would sleep with this demonic monster to begin with?!!!!
Bubba and Thor are going to deal some justice
No words...
Please GOD, Forgive me for that!
Git a rope...
Normally I'd never post a story like this but I took one look at his mug and wondered the same thing.
Who are these people? I don't want them living amongst us. American can never be great when people like this are a part of it.
I don't ever remember people with face tattoos before Obama. Now they're disturbingly commonplace amongst useless parasites. I guess at some point men started saying, "F*** it! Gimme a tattoo of an AK-47 right across my face! I ain't goin anywhere!"
That’s the father?
Words that immediately come to mind are;
Doper, Jailbird, wannabe Satanist, always on parole for something.
Sometimes, profiling and making presumptions is the right thing to do, especially when a newborn baby’s life is at stake.
Just took my son to the airport to go back to school after 6 weeks here, a fine 18 year old young man - he is the greatest thing that ever happened to me, we tossed a baseball for about 15 minutes before he left.
Sub-human
Somebody should have realized after just one look that these people should not be allowed near their kids - or anyone else’s,
Such a horrible, avoidable tragedy. The punishment should be hard, swift and brutal.
You don't even see that sh!t among tribes of aborigines with a median IQ of 70.
Look at that pic, obviously he’s a MENSA member/sarc..that poor baby, didnt stand a chance with that thing for a father
This is couple times a week now, MSM prepping is to make this all seem normal...this is not going to end well
The look of a person that doesn’t care about life. May he receive the same punishment in prison.
He's been beating up his girlfriend, mother of his two sons since 2014. Multiple arrests. Never served much time. He'll be going away for a while now.
How much you wanna bet she sets up a GoFundMe page...
Wood chipper, feet first. I’d be honored to stuff him in myself.
I presume he is not a neurosurgeon.
Stick him in general pop and let him loose.
