Two days ago, a psychopath with a machete went on a rampage attacking people at random in St Paul. Several people were injured, one seriously with defensive wounds to his hand that caused an arterial bleed.
One couple posted about how he chased them into a building and around the building trying to murder them until they managed to duck into a locked stairwell and barricade themselves in.
Naturally, once arrested we find out Daniel Kurt Vernier had prior charges and convictions of;
Just two weeks ago he was arrested on a felony warrant for failure to appear at his 3rd failure to appear for an assault case.
He was brought to court by the police, where the judge gave him zero bail despite his violate felony history and failures to appear.
Let me repeat that: He ignores his court dates 3 times and has a violent history, the police manage to find and arrest him and bring him to a judge, who promptly releases him without bail.
He then goes out and tries to murder random people with a machete
/e And I almost forgot the journalism angle: not a single Minnesota media outlet is covering this. No mention by the star tribune, pioneer press, wcco, kare, etc etc
Someone can run around chopping up random people with a machete in the middle of downtown and it doesn't get a single line in the paper
Oh wow, twitter and facebook as a source. You convinced me.
