MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A 24-year-old Minneapolis man now faces a felony charge accusing him of throwing a 5-year-old boy over a balcony at Mall Of America.

According to the criminal complaint, Aranda went to the mall on Thursday with the intent to kill someone, but that it didn’t “work out”. He allegedly returned the next day, planning to kill an adult, but instead chose the boy. He allegedly threw the boy from the third-floor balcony outside the Rainforest Café.
The mother of the boy told authorities Aranda approached them and, without warning, picked the boy up and threw him over the side of the balcony. The complaint does not say why the boy was chosen by Aranda.

“The complaint does not say why the boy was chosen by Aranda”
Was the little boy white?
A crazy Somali? There are hundreds of them in MN.
Yes he was.
And I am sure the adult who he planned to kill was also going to be white.
But, of course, no hate crime charges have been mentioned.
I suspect more like no father Chicagoan (went to school there) who is mentally ill. maybe schizophrenia. Someone with his same name made a weird post about The Joker and schizophrenia.
Hundreds?
Around 80,000 of them.
I bet I know...
I believe he's from Ihlan Omar's district, or nearby. I keep getting this nagging feeling that her rhetoric has something to do with this.
Us media has not been naming the boy but Daily Mail had no problem which seems weird. UK usually more protective of identity/
Wanna be the word “white” was intentionally omitted?
Yes
“The complaint does not say why the boy was chosen by Aranda.”
Does anyone honestly believe that if a white guy deliberately threw a black kid that the term “hate crime” wouldn’t be used, and it would be on the front page of every paper on every broadcast since it happened? The cops wouldn’t be scratching their heads and wondering about the motive if the races were reversed.
That can’t be
Trump’s rhetoric makes her say it which made him do it
Yes. White. What else?
police said they saw no indication that race was involved but I bet he was targeting whites.
I think the kid was just the easiest target since he didn’t have a gun
by the way, a bystander still unnamed is responsible for this guy not getting totally away.
Ok, where was he REALLY from? Somalia? Cause it sure as hell aint Minneapolis.....
What’s hilarious is that it says he was thrown for “no apparent reason”.
The reason is as plain as day.
I read in the local news (there) that Deshawn had recently taken a name that included Mohammed. Who would have thot, there in Somali-Central. Funny that that information has not been seen in print.
