| 2015-10-08 | |
| [KSTP] A Minneapolis man has been charged after police say he raped a 10-year-old girl in the hallway of an apartment complex in the Cedar-Riverside Neighborhood. The assault happened Sunday, Oct. 4, on the 1600 block of South Fourth Street in Minneapolis, which is Riverside Plaza. The child said a man followed her onto the elevator and that they got off on the third floor. The man extended his hand, and when the girl shook it he refused to let go, according to the complaint. He then raped the girl in the hallway, police say. Witnesses said they heard screaming in the hall and saw a young girl crying, so they flagged down an off-duty police officer. The girl was sent to Hennepin County Medical Center for treatment. Based on the girl's description and surveillance video from Riverside Plaza, the suspect was identified as 34-year-old Ahmed Hersi Abdi
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! in St. Paul. The Minneapolis Police Department's John Elder said community policing was a key in identifying the suspect. He said the officers knew who the suspect was after seeing the video. "That is because of the amount of time that these officers have spent in that community both on and working off-duty, and a lot of community policing efforts," Elder said. | |

This is because nobody who witnessed the assault was willing and able to be Colonel Mustard in the Hallway with the Candlestick. Did we sit closer to the TV, turn the volume up, and pretend it away until it became obvious the little girl wasn't going to pretend it away either? |

| #4 The authorities will probably be forced to drop the charges as this is a part of Ahmed Hersi Abdi's culture; he will then be apologized to for the dissing of his culture. Then he will bring lawsuits. |
