A 5-year-old boy who fell almost 40 feet after being thrown over a third-floor railing at the Mall of America on Friday remained hospitalized Saturday, police said.

At a noon news conference, Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts said the family of the boy, who remains hospitalized at Children's Hospital Minneapolis, has requested privacy.

“BAD guys ain’t in the woods...”

You aren’t a big purveyor of the american horror genre, are you?

A major tenet of human history is death to bad guys.

American and Euro liberals have decided that the world must get by by mollycoddling criminals rather than kill them and eliminate the threat.

We formerly did the job well and must revert to killing convicted criminals. Those who argue to the contrary must be put eliminated from power

GoFundMe? This happened at the Mall of America by a person known by the Mall to be a threat. The Mall needs to pay the medical expenses and they need to do it without the need of a lawsuit.

True, not only is it wrong, the inmate(s) that participate receive extra punishment.

Yeah, I saw the picture. I remain a hopeful person.

Skydivers sometimes survive when their parachutes don’t open. I read an article about one who passed out on the way down, so he hit the ground in a relaxed position.

We need institutions back for these nutcases ...

I agree. If they can be helped back to a normal life, let’s do it. But if not, get them off the street into some kind of supervised living arrangement where they won’t be able to harm the rest of us. Too many times a person is routinely exhibiting abnormal behavior, and our society just lets it pass until one day they take it to the next level. By then it’s too late for the victim.

Rabid animals should be shot. So should predators that target the weak & helpless.

If the jails are full they can hand Aranda over to me, just a short drive up 35. I have a basement with a nice coal room and a lot of leftover fiberglass insulation to keep him fed.

Certainly not unusual punishment and not really cruel either, I’d be housing, feeding and using a hose to flush whatever mess is made into the working pump there.

Just call me at ... .

“BAD guys ain’t in the woods”

Years ago there was the story in Wisconsin(?) about the Cambodian(?) that thought because he was in the woods first to hunt deer - they were HIS woods. I forget how many people he shot - several though.

Found it - from Laos, killed 6, in 2004.

Very little info on the boy’s condition.

But... where there’s life, there’s hope:

https://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/boy-thrown-from-mall-of-america-balcony-fighting-for-his/article_bf967fd1-3c3b-591d-bda6-b9e37df6e182.html

FROM THE ARTICLE:

“I know there’s been some reports and some concerns about whether or not he is still alive,” Potts said. “He is still receiving care. We just want to acknowledge that this is a horrific situation. The family and this child are in our thoughts and prayers.”


Hanneman said the boy suffered life-threatening injuries.

“He has many surgeries ahead in his life to try to get back to a normal life for a young, vibrant boy,” Hanneman wrote.

Since when are parents ‘beating on their kids’ and what does that have to do with this story?

That's amazing, especially since the terminal velocity for a human being falling theough the air is around 122mph.

I’d say this case proves we should bring back public square hangings. It could be televised on every station who takes handouts from the government.

As soon as I heard about the nature of the crime, I figured it was black-on-white. It’s epidemic nowadays.

If I have to explain it to you then you lost the point before you got started.

I haven't been paying too much attention to this but I thought that I read something yesterday that he might have been from one of the muzzy neighborhoods around the area.

Don't know/don't care.

The animal needs to be put down.
