This grabbed my attention

“According to the criminal complaints, the men were stomping on the 41-year-old father as he lay on the ground, unconscious.

He suffered severe head injuries, including a fractured right orbital bone and possible subdural bleeding on the brain. “We don’t know if there are permanent injuries yet,” the County Attorney said.”

and

“All six adults have been charged with 3rd degree felony assault causing substantial bodily harm.”

I don’t know much about criminal law, but I’d think kicking an unconscious victim to that extent would warrant an attempted murder charge.

All six adults have been charged with 3rd degree felony assault causing substantial bodily harm.

Normally, I'd say that these charges are just for openers until the prosecutor can work up even more serious charges.

But this is Minnesota, and, worse yet, liberal Minneapolis/St Paul, so you never know how things will ultimately work out. If the normal pattern holds, one of the accused (or their mother) will claim the victim used a racial epithet without justification (sexual groping being acceptable behavior) and provoked his own beating. The victim will probably be accused of some racial offense by the local Human Rights Council and ordered to pay restitution even if he doesn't survive hospitalization.
