At the time, a student group event with an estimated 300 attendees was taking place inside the building.

South Minneapolis - About 8 a.m., female was carjacked at gunpoint at 2xx E Lake by a BM, 40s, with dreads. A dog was in the black VW Passat taken, and the suspect was seen abusing the dog and was ramming other vehicles.
One person said they were shot at.
Listed on the 911 dashboard as a person with a gun.
The carjacked vehicle then became involved in a chase in north Minneapolis, and then crashed with another vehicle in a rollover at Penn and Olson Memorial Hwy. Of four injured parties, two were declared deceased in the vehicle that was struck in a "significant impact." There was also a child critically injured in the vehicle that was struck.
2/ WHEN it turns out that the suspect is a repeat offender that's been spun through the revolving door multiple times, EVERY PROSECUTOR AND JUDGE THAT SLAPPED HIS WRIST NEEDS TO GO TO PRISON FOR LIFE.
3/ @MinneapolisOCS AND @MinneapolisPD, stop lying to the public by omission. REVERSE ENCRYPTION. The public has a right to know what an utter dangerous sh*t show this city is.
Nope. Cedrick Frazier is a Mary Moriarty acolyte and has already been endorsed by Keith Ellison. That tells you everything you need to know.
Also, as a Rep in #MNLEG, Frazier chief authored bills involving:
-Funding for public radio
-Barring landlords from considering criminal record of applicants without jumping through hoops to deny
-Reparations
-Exclusionary funding for black undergrads only
-Weakening felony murder statute
-Allowing medical assistance funds to be used for “violence prevention” services
-Implementing ranked choice voting
2/ Rep. Cedrick Frazier has authored legislation to develop a reparations system and eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes. He endorsed Mary Moriarty in 2022.
3/ We were reminded by a follower that Cedrick Frazier is a proponent of changing Minnesota law to raise the age of juvenile court jurisdiction from 18 to 21.
Meaning, he wants criminal offenders aged 18, 19, and 20 to be handled within the juvenile justice system rather than the adult criminal justice system.
