Recovery of Boy Thrown off Mall of America Balcony Is 'Truly a Miracle,' Says Pastor
People / MSN ^ | 4-24-19 | Chris Harris

Posted on 04/24/2019 10:35:37 AM PDT by Tired of Taxes

The doctors who’ve been treating the little boy who was thrown over a third-floor railing at Minnesota’s Mall of America on April 12 are apparently astonished by how well the child is recovering.

Mac Hammond, a pastor from the boy’s family’s church, said the child, named Landen, endured a five-hour MRI last week, which showed his injuries were not as bad as originally thought.

Hammond told his parish Sunday that one of Landen’s doctors commented that the shape the boy is in, given what happened to him, is “truly a miracle.” According to Hammond, the medical team said Landen’s injuries were more consistent with a bicycle fall than a three-story plummet.

Landen sustained severe head trauma and multiple broken bones in his arms and legs after allegedly being thrown from the third floor of the Mall of America, allegedly by Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda, 24.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Hammond told his congregation he went to sit with the family to pray ahead of the prolonged procedure.

He also said doctors were working to fix facial fractures the boy suffered in the fall.

Hammond noted the doctors found “zero evidence of brain damage…there wasn’t even swelling in the brain.”

Thank God he is recovering.

But the evil guy who threw him should still get life in prison, at least.

Local news (in minnesota) reported this and the leftists lost their minds.

How dare he speak for the family (he is their spokesman)
“God didn’t do this. He just got lucky”

And crap like that.

Agreed...

I’m getting very tired of reading reports of “alleged” this and that. The guy was caught red handed.

HE DID IT!

I cannot agree with you.
The Punishment should “fit the crime”
Find a FOURTH floor balcony somewhere and “OVER WE GO”
That would be “Justice”

I would not have any problem with your approach. Let the punishment fit the crime.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The family came out the next day with a statement that says that is not completely true. They would like the pastor to slow down a bit.

Landen, endured a five-hour MRI last week ...
I had a 45 minute MRI years ago ... it sucked. I can't even imagine 5 hours.
Hang in there kid - you got guts.

Miraculous for sure. Going around the inner-webs that the scum bag’s real name is Abdisaid Ahmed Mohamed and that he had his name changed years ago to Aranda some years ago. Don’t know where it’s coming from. Every article I read had this guy being born in Chicago...

Praise God! And I notice how quickly this story was out of the media. When it doesn’t fit the narrative of the lunatic left, they really become transparent, i.e. invisible.

Oh, so then the pastor has it wrong? I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, still, there is much hope for this little boy.

Maybe we can subcontract execution jobs to ISIS since it’s gotten so hard to find anyone in the States willing to do this any more.
