Memorials Planned for 1-Year Anniversary of Justine Damond's Death
KSTP.com ^ | 7/14/18 | KSTP Staff

Posted on 07/14/2018 10:55:08 AM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

Saturday, family and friends will gather to remember Justine Damond, the woman killed in a high-profile officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis.

Sunday will mark one year since Damond's death. At 3:30 p.m. Saturday, a memorial park bench will be dedicated to Damond at Minnehaha Creek.

Family members say that's where Damond and her fiance Don first expressed their love for one another. After that, 51st Street near the alley where Damond died will be closed off so people can reflect and remember her.

Later in Australia, Damond's family will hold a vigil as the sun rises Sunday morning there.

Damond was shot and killed by former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor. He is charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter

And what’s the status of the filthy cop?

Story from 22 March 2018, which was 113 days ago:

Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor was released from jail late Wednesday after posting bail on murder charges in connection to the shooting death of a 40-year-old Australian woman.

Bail had been set at $400,000 Wednesday after Hennepin County prosecutors raised concerns that the ex-officer could be a flight risk, noting that he might try to flee to his native Somalia.

Noor was seen leaving the Hennepin County Jail with his attorney, Thomas Plunkett, around 9:45 p.m., according to ABC affiliate KTSP. He declined to answer questions.

“Put Somali immigrants on the police force,” they said. “What could go wrong?”

Not sure on that. I’m digging through some older threads and articles.

They always seem to come up with it. One can speculate on how that happens.

Initially, it got widespread coverage, even in the international press.

Not much to report on, now. Just waiting for the next court date in September.

Good. The innocent Australian woman was murdered in cold blood by an incompetent affirmative action hire m*slim. The corrupt mayor of Minneapolis desperately wanted him hired, and therefore shares in the responsiblity for the murder.
I doubt that justice will be done.
Justice = mayor in prison, murderer executed within 2 months, all other AA m*slim hires fired.

Where did the Muzzie criminal cop get the $400,000 bail money?

Probably ran a couple Muzzie daycare centers while offduty. Read on.

THE GREAT SOMALI WELFARE RIP-OFF
$100 million in taxpayer cash shipped out of country in past year alone.
Frontpagemagazine ^ | May 16, 2018 | Lloyd Billingsley / FR Posted by SJackson

At the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the carry-on bag bulged with $1 million in cash from a welfare rip-off scheme. The loot was headed for Somalia, some of it to regions controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group, and this shipment was part of $100 million sent over the past year alone.

This scheme was not uncovered by the New York Times, CNN, “Frontline” or any “investigative” journalist in the old-line establishment media. It came to light in “Millions of dollars in suitcases fly out of MSP, but why?” a story by Jeff Baillon of KMSP, a Fox News outlet in Minnesota and the subject of a Powerline blog by John Hinderaker on Monday. Back on March 15, Fox 9 got a tip about a man leaving the country with $1 million in cash, but this was only part of the story. “Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.”

Glen Kearns, a former Seattle police detective formerly with the FBI’s joint terrorism task force, told Fox “it’s an outright crime, it’s unbelievable.” The operator was part of “Hawalas,” businesses that transport money to countries that have no legitimate banking system.

According to Kearns, the money was going to an area controlled by terrorist al Shabaab, which operates the Hawala there. As Kearns learned, those sending tens of thousands of dollars “happened to be on government assistance in this country,” the USA. As Kearns’ sources explained, “It’s welfare fraud, it’s all about the daycare,” a story Fox 9 had been covering for five years.

Somali fraudsters would start a daycare center and sign up low-income families that qualify for child-care assistance funding. Parents would check in the kids and promptly leave, but the center would bill the state for a full day.

Fozia Ali, a city official in Hopkins Park, ran a daycare center in south Minneapolis that billed the government for more than $1 million in bogus childcare services. The FBIs Craig Lisher told Fox that “some of the funds went overseas.” On trips to Dubai and Kenya, staying in luxury hotels, Fozia Ali “used an app on her phone to bill the state of Minnesota for childcare services.” She is now serving time in federal prison, but the rip-off did not end there.

In 2015, investigators tracked $14 million in those mysterious suitcases at Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. By 2016 it was $84 million and last year a full $100 million, all ripped off from American taxpayers. Fox reporters asked Kearns if any of the money was funding terrorism. “I say absolutely,” Kearns confirmed. “Our sources tell us that. Good sources, from the community leaders.” And as Fox noted, “fraudsters in other states are now using the Minnesota playbook to rip off millions of public dollars meant to help kids.”

Way back in November of 2002, one year after the 9/11 attacks, historian Roger McGrath authored “The Great Somali Welfare Hunt.” As he noted, Lewiston, Maine, a mill town of 36,000 on the Androscoggin River, “has been the destination for hundreds of Somali Muslims.” This was due to the Refugee Act of 1980, which changed the priority of favoring refugees from Communist countries and rebranded “refugee” as any person unwilling or unable to return to their homeland because of a fear of persecution etc.

According to Renee Bernier of the Lewiston city council, the Somalis “came in droves off the busses” and “some made the welfare office their first stop.” They could grab five years of assistance, public housing and Section 8 vouchers. As McGrath noted, “employment opportunities are evidently a low priority.”

In similar style, as Soeren Kern observed, “Jihadists Exploit Welfare Benefits” in Europe. In Austria, jihadists used welfare payments to finance trips to Syria. Jihadists in Belgium received nearly $60,000 in welfare benefits and used the money to finance terror plots. Some jihadists continued to receive welfare after they had traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight for the Islamic State.

In Britain, Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi used taxpayer-funded student loans and benefits to bankroll his terror plot. The Islamist Anjem Choudary, a supporter of ISIS, was taking home $32,000 a year in welfare benefits, plus money for housing and income support.

As Kern noted, “Choudary believes that Muslims are entitled to welfare payments because they are a form of jizya, a tax imposed on non-Muslims as a reminder that they are permanently inferior and subservient to Muslims.” In all likelihood, the Somali Muslims in Minnesota believe they are likewise entitled to the money of non-Muslim American workers. So they rip off American taxpayers, stuff suitcases with cash, and send the money winging to Islamic terrorists abroad.

As Glen Kearns told Fox, “my personal opinion is we need a nationwide task force to clamp down on this type of fraud.” It might take just a bit more than that. Criminals and welfare cheaters abound in the United States. A ballpark figure for the number the USA should import is zero.

Tax-cheater Somalis in Minnesota----Somali councilman at podium defending Muzzie cop murderer.
Somalis unite to defend Somali policeman who killed Janine Damond. Saying he was an "American......
But when he joined the police dept--the killer was hailed as a Somali. They cant have it both ways.

Nice how they assimilate, isnt it?

Somali Police Association in Minnesota---getting dental work, I hope.
One of their Somalis colleagues killed a girl without provocation.

They come to the great melting pot of America then proceed to set themselves apart.
United they stand AGAINST America sucking up tax dollars.
The arrogance is palbable....lookit the smirky one with the thingy on her head.

OK according to The Office of the Revisor of Stautes, Minnesota Court Rules...Sentencing Guidelines at mn.gov

Offenses subject to a mandatory life sentence.

Severity Level 11
Murder 2nd degree (Intentional Murder, Unintentional drive by Shootings)

Severity Level 10
Murder 2rd degree (Unintentional Murder)
Murder 3rd Degree

Severity Level 9
Murder 3rd Degree

Severity Level 8
Manslaughter 2nd Degree Culpable Negligence

as of 2017

609.195 Murder 3rd Degree ...prison for no more than 25 years or a $40,000 fine or both

609.205 Manslaughter 2nd degree Culpable Negligence ... prison for no more than 10 years or a fine of $20,000 or both

I couldn’t find any other Manslaughter 2nd degree which means the “culpable negligence’ would have to be proven and a jury of his peers and this in Minneapolis so they will mostly be fellow moslems would have to agree on that charge..

DISTURBING FACTS ABOUT SOMALI MIGRANTS----HOW TERROR COMES TO AMERICA

[1] The Somali man who knifed two men in November at the Mall of America was not involved in an attempt to steal clothing – a false narrative put out by Bloomington police – but was actually carrying out jihad. He admitted it in a detailed statement to the court. Mahad Abdiraham said he went to the mall that day to "answer the call for jihad.”

[2] A Somali refugee who had just arrived in Aberdeen for a meatpacking job was convicted last year of trying to sexually assault a wheelchair-bound woman at a group home. Liban Mohamed, 39, found the vulnerable woman sitting outside the home and he was caught reaching up between her legs.

[3] Also in Aberdeen, Abdirhman Noor, 24, shot at two men outside the Foxridge Apartments, wounding one critically. Noor, who came to the U.S. as a child refugee, was charged with attempted murder and released on $50,000 bail. He never showed up for his March 2017 court hearing and remains at large.

[4] A 73-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer was dropping off meals at a homeless shelter in Shelburne, Vermont, when she was attacked by 32-year-old Somali migrant Abukar Ibrahim with a machete in early January 2018. She sustained multiple injuries including a severe leg wound.

[5] Tnuza Jamal Hassan, a 19-year-old woman from either Somalia or Ethiopia (Minneapolis police wouldn't release her status), was arraigned last month on charges of first-degree arson after she allegedly set fires on the campus of St. Catherine University. Hassan told police she "wanted the school to burn to the ground" and that her intent was to "hurt people,” according to charges filed in Ramsey County District Court. Hassan told police she had written a letter to her roommates containing “radical ideas about supporting Muslims and bringing back the caliphate.” The prosecution further alleges "[s]he told the police and fire investigators ‘You guys are lucky I don’t know how to build a bomb because I would have done that,’” the Star-Tribune reported.

[6] Morgan Evenson, 24, was attacked just before Christmas while walking home from work in Minneapolis. She was stabbed 14 times by a man described as Somali. That man remains at large and the Minneapolis police falsely described the attack as a failed robbery. Evenson said he never reached for her purse.

[7] On July 15, 2017, a Somali refugee serving as a Minneapolis police officer, Mohamed Noor, shot and killed an unarmed woman, Justine Damond, who had called 9-1-1 to report a rape taking place outside her apartment. No charges have been filed against Noor, who had three previous complaints about his treatment of women while on patrol.

[8] Dahir Ahmed Adan stabbed 10 shoppers at the Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Sept. 17, 2016. The refugee asked shoppers if they were Muslim. If they said “no,” he attacked them with his knife, until he was shot dead by an off-duty cop.

[9] In December 2016, Somali refugee Mohamed Ayanle, 22, was charged with first- and third-degree criminal sexual conduct after he allegedly raped a woman while riding a bus through Polk County, Minnesota. Ayanle reportedly forced her to have sex with him at knifepoint in the back of the bus. Ayanle had just arrived in Minnesota from Somalia three months prior to his arrest.

[10] Davee Devose, a promising 21-year-old black student at St. Cloud Technical and Community College, was stabbed to death at a house party in June 2015 by then-16-year-old Muhiyadin Mohamed Hassan, a Somali refugee who violated his juvenile probation and has since been moved to the adult system.

[11] In 2008, the government revealed thousands of Somali families had fraudulently entered the U.S. as "refugees" by lying on their applications that they were to Somalis already living in the U.S. The Wall Street Journal originally reported on how this fraud was uncovered by DNA tests, which led to a four-year closure of the so-called P-3 family reunification program for refugees coming from East Africa. The program was eventually restarted and none of the thousands of Somalis proven to have entered the U.S. by these fraudulent means were ever deported.

[12] On the day after Memorial Day, May 31, 2016, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, a Somali refugee woman, Aisha Ibrahim, 31, appeared out of the woods wearing a burqa and beat an American woman with her own American flagpole.

[13] A federal appeals court in December 2016 upheld the conviction of Mohamed Mohamud, the Somali refugee sentenced to 30 years in prison for plotting to bomb downtown Portland, Oregon, during the annual Christmas-tree lighting.

[14] In 2013, Somali refugee Omar Mohamed Kalmio in North Dakota was sentenced to life in prison for the 2011 murder of a Native American family he had become involved with.

[15] In November 2016, Abdul R. Ali Artan, an 18-year-old Somali refugee and student at Ohio State University, wounded 11 people at OSU in a car and knife attack. Minutes before his attack, Artan posted on Facebook his hatred for the United States.

[16] In April 2011, Somali refugee Said Biyad was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his four children in Louisville, Kentucky. He avoided the death penalty by taking a plea agreement.

[17] In July of last year, Somalia native Abdinzak Ahmed Farah, 29, was arrested and charged with threatening his fellow Minnesotans with a knife. According to an eyewitness, Farah was eating raw beef with the knife and holding it out to patrons, asking them to play games. In a July 25 article, the Faribault Daily News reports a complaint filed in Rice County Court alleges Farah was pointing a knife and threatening to kill anyone who called police. Witnesses said Farah was twice told to leave, but began chasing several people and threw the knife at them.

[18] At least 40 Somali refugees have left the country to join overseas terrorist organizations such as al-Shabaab in Somalia and ISIS in Syria, the FBI has confirmed. Dozens of others have been charged and/or convicted of providing material support to terrorists.

[19] One of the top terror recruiters for ISIS in the U.S. was Mohamed Hassan, a Somali refugee with roots in Minnesota. He turned himself in to authorities in Somalia in late 2015, after leading dozens of Somali-Americans to join ISIS. He also played a role in the terror attack on Garland, Texas, in which two Muslims planned to kill participants in a "Draw Muhammad" contest and behead activist Pamela Geller.

[20] Dozens of large-scale khat busts have taken place in recent years, such as this seizure of 69 pounds of khat at the Philadelphia airport bound for Minneapolis, and this one sending nearly 20 pounds to Minneapolis. Khat is a stimulant chewed by Somali men.

[21] In June 2016, residents of the Linden Hills community in Minneapolis were nearly 20 pounds to Minneapolis. Khat is a stimulant chewed by Somali men.

[21] In June 2016, residents of the Linden Hills community in Minneapolis were terrorized by a Somali mob for three straight days. They raided the waterfront community and pretending to shoot women on the beach, ran their cars over lawns while screaming "jihad," threatened to rape one woman and beat one resident's dog. Police were called repeatedly but never could make it to the scene before the Somalis disappeared.

[22] Minneapolis Police Department has for years tolerated an active Sharia cop, who married a Somali woman and patrols the Cedar Riverside area making sure Somalis are complying with Islamic dress codes and other Sharia rules.

[23] Liban Haji Mohamed, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Somalia who came to the U.S. as a child refugee, was named to the FBI's list of Most Wanted Terrorists in January 2015. Mohamed, who worked as a cab driver in northern Virginia, was charged with providing material support and resources to al-Qaeda and al-Shabaab.

[24] In May 2015, a UK media outlet broke the story that one of the Islamic State's major recruiters turned out to be a female journalism student in Seattle who liked football, cheeseburgers, and convincing women in Syria and the EU to wage jihad. The student, a Somali named Rawdah Abdisalaam, was discovered to be working as a senior recruiter while living the good life in Seattle.

[25] In January 2014, Somali refugee Ahmed Nasir Taalil, living in San Diego, was sentenced to six years for his part in a conspiracy to funnel money to al-Shabaab. Among Nasir-Nasir's co-conspirators were cab driver Basaaly Saeed Moalin, who was sentenced to 18 years, Mohamed Mohamud – a Somali imam at a local mosque – sentenced to 13 years, and Issa Doreh, who was sentenced to 10 years for working at a money-transmitting business that helped move the illegal funds.

Refugee proponents, many of them working for resettlement agencies that receive government tax dollars for every refugee they bring into the U.S., continue to allege that Somalis are an asset to the communities in which they live.

But those communities deserve security too. Now that the refugee ban has expired, it is time that the clear issues of lack of assimilation and terror risks posed by many Somali refugees are taken seriously.
