  • The Keystone Prosecutors

    Henco attorney Mary Moriarty has established a “wrongful convictions” unit: Moriarty – a former public defender – alleges that 5% of convictions in Henco are erroneous. So – Hennepin County isn’t charging, or is grossly undercharging, all but the most egregiously, unavoidably and politically explosive cases, and is admitting that one out of every twenty…

  • The DFL Is Minnesota’s Gaslighting Abusive Spouse

    In the immediate aftermath of declaring that realizing the non-charges against Trooper Londregan were “anti-queer” (???), Henco Attorney Mary Moriarty tells us that all that talk about crime in her jurisdiction is fearmongery: During a May 28 event, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty explained she believes there’s an effort to cause the public to fear…

  • A Good Guy With A Car?

    The city of Minneapolis just released the dispatch report re the Officer Jamal Mitchell shooting. A good guy with a car [1] apparently rammed shooter Mustafa Mohammed, who was apparently attacking a bystander on a scooter, possibly breaking his leg and immobilizing him: According to the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) report, before police arrived on…

  • When All You Have Is A Dribble Glass Full Of Kombucha, All The World Is A Reichstag Fire

    Block a freeway? Burn down a neighborhood? Jack a car, rob a store, shoot up on a train, b**w a john on a bus, attack someone on a train platform? Mary Moriarty’s got your back. Exercise your first amendent right to demonstrate for Mary Moriarty’s enemies, whoever they are, wherever you are? You’re a threat…

  • #Found In The Weekend News Dump

    As if ther’s not enough to talk about today already. It didn’t take a legal expert to know that the charges against State Patrol trooper Ryan Londregan were unsustainable. Mary Moriarty had to spend a million bucks [1] to find that out. Which, we found out during the weekend news dump, she apparently did: Hennepin…

  • Your Mission For Today

    If you live in District Six in Hennepin County – this area here…: …you need to get out and vote Marisa Simonetti for Hennepin County Commission in the special election being held today. She’s an unknown conservative who ran in the runoff three weeks ago, spent about $700, and got 33% of the vote with…

  • You Heard It On The NARN First…

    When I saw Angie Craig jamming Mary Moriarty into the wood chipper last week… …. I figured there was a reason. And MPR apparently thinks so as well: Most congressional districts in the nation and in Minnesota are considered either firmly Republican or Democratic. That’s not the case in the 2nd District, which comprises much…

  • Mostly Legal

    Gang carjacks an SUV, goes on a Tarantino-ready crime spree: The only real question: what ethical and moral gymnastics will Mary Moriarty go through to make sure none of them serves a moment in prison?

  • “A Conservative Is A Liberal Who’s Been Mugged”

    That might not be the result of this episode – at least, I but this past Tuesday Shivanthi Sathanandan, a Minnesota state DFL executive who advocated defunding the police gets the living crap beating out of her by carjackers. And yep, she was one of those DFLers:: In her June 2020 post, Sathanandan thanked two…

  • Pretty Vacant

    Mary Moriarty broke with a couple decades of Henco Prosecutor tradition and used the State’s sentence enhancement for using a gun in a crime: Wait – wut? A north Minneapolis man has been sentenced to 15 1/2 years in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release for illegal possession of a firearm after…

  • Profile In Cowardice

    The Feds are on the case in Minneapolis, going after the gangland bosses who, we’re told, are driving the crime. Getting mobsters off the street is a good start. But this is also a very bad sign. This is Minneapolis, Hennepin iCounty and the State’s job. Having the Feds do it just means that Jacob…

  • You Were Warned

    This is what “Restorative Justice” looks like: The crime – the victim’s ex-boyfriend bought a gun for two juveniles to kill her new boyfriend and, if she got in the way, her as well – was egregious enough that even the fairly useless Mike Freeman was trying to charge the juveniles as adults. The “boys”…

  • Aaaaand We’re Off

    The goal of the Soros-funded district attorney is to make people distrust the system – by punishing the law-abiding and coddling the depraved – to the point where they demand a dictator to keep them safe. We warned Hennepin County that that was Mary Moriarty’s goal. The Good News: The tl:DR version of the story…

  • Clarity

    On Friday morning, someone tried to jack a van in the Phillips Neighborhood. The would-be victim tackled the suspect and held him til the cops arrived. Point of order: in a Minneapolis where Mary Moriarty is the district attorney, is the suspect…: With Mary Moriarty in office as Henco “prosecutor”, one must not assume.

  • Open Letter To HennCo

    To: Hennepin CountyFrom: Mitch Berg, Irascible PeasantRe: You’re Screwed Blue Dear HennCo I can’t believe I missed this; your new co-chief public defender (FKA “County Prosecutor”) was sworn in this past week.. As befits an unserious person in an unserious city at an unserious time, she was sworn in on a comic book: The new…

  • Mission Creepy

    I used to think DFLers merely counted on voters being ignorant. I was young and naive. They actively promote ignorance: Senator Morrison is an M.D, so she certainly isn’t stupid. She must know that the imponderably vast majority of those “children”. are boys aged 14+ who are involved in crime, mostly murdered by other young…

  • Open Letter To Hennepin County Subjects [1]

    You voted for Mary Moriarty for Henco Attorney. Granted, it was a closer race than one might have expected; the endorsed DFLer won by 20 points, rather than the expected 40-50. Still, Henco spoke: they’re OK with carjackings, home invasions, random gunfire ripping through (black and brown people in North Minneapolis) houses, and criminals getting…

  • Ray Of Hopelessness

    I wouldn’t say there was much in the way of “surprises“ in the primaries last night. Mostly confirmation of existing hunches, and a brief stab of hope followed by waves and waves of confirmation that Minneapolis is not only screwed, but seems hell-bent on participating in its own screwing. The marquee race, Don Samuels tackling…

  • Send In The Kangaroos

    City of Minneapolis reaches an independent settlment with the Floyd family… …just in time to jeopardize the Chauvin trial. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called it a milestone. The city council unanimously approved the settlement. Announcing the settlement in the middle of jury selection for the murder trial of Derek Chauvin confused legal experts. “It was…
