Soft On Crime: MN Man Set Free After 2022 Mall Of America Shooting Now Charged With 2023 Homicide

Posted • July 8, 2025: During COVID, the Left was all about safety and saving lives. You couldn't leave your house or run your business because it might kill grandma. And whenever there's a mass shooting, they scream about banning guns to save just one life. But then they turn around and let violent criminals out of prison -- in the name of 'restorative justice' -- and end up costing more lives.

And putting them in prison stops them from being criminals. This can only be interpreted as another intentional release. We ALL know what happens when you release violent offenders.
