    Unfortunately it is hard working people that suffer the most.  The mindless idiots are unaffected.  They post cartoons and laugh.  :news:

    Here's a case that is local to me. It's a real hit to our local health system to lose a M.D. it will definitely be interesting to see if he's guilty.

    Sad story but I seriously cannot figure out why people put themselves in these situations.  169 is a major Highway, even with 55mph speed limits there are plenty of places where a distracted driver could wander into the shoulder if only for a brief moment.  Biking or running, that road is not a place for “pedestrians” IMO.  I won’t put my trust in other people in that situation.

    He got off easy after a lifetime of being an asshole.  Too bad first responders became his ultimate target…
     

    "I feel like all of this could've been avoided," she said. "Just the negligence in the court system, they failed my children.”

     


    Court records: Burnsville shooting suspect was 'emotionally,' 'physically abusive' to mothers of his children
     

    Two orders for protection filed against the man accused of fatally shooting three first responders and injuring a fourth in Burnsville on Sunday detail a pattern of abuse, according to two mothers of his children.

    The first was a handwritten petition for an order for protection against Shannon Gooden in 2017.

    In it, the woman requested protection from Gooden for herself and their shared child after an incident where she said he "head-butted {her} face," causing a concussion and black eye before. She also said he threw her down the stairs. 

    She went on to write that Gooden had been "emotionally and physically abusive from the very beginning" and that police were called during their fights "a few times."

    Then in 2020, Noemi Torres - another mother of three kids shared with Gooden - also said that he caused her to fall down the stairs by side-swiping her foot after an argument during which she said he also "grabbed a knife and cut my clothes." 

    She wrote, "I am and have been very afraid of him for a long time."

    That petition was ultimately dismissed, the judge citing a lack of proof. 

     

    Three and a half years later, Torres told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that her kids were in that Burnsville home when investigators say their dad shot and killed three first responders before taking his own life. 

    "I feel like all of this could've been avoided," she said. "Just the negligence in the court system, they failed my children."

    Torres also added: "They're not good. At all. You know, my daughter is constantly thinking about that moment in time that she is forever gonna have in her life. The way she was telling me she was sitting on the bed, you know, she walked over his body, after he took his life, and she just balled crying."

    "My kids feel for the families of the lost victims as well, you know. I think we're all just in mourning right now," said Torres.

    The 2017 petition was also dismissed when the petitioner didn't show up in court. 

    A couple of years later, the woman in that case actually wrote a letter in support of Gooden when he petitioned to get his gun rights back in 2020. The judge ultimately found her allegations of abuse important enough to cite them when he denied Gooden's petition, upholding the lifetime ban against him from owning a gun .

    That ban against Gooden dates back to a 2007 assault conviction.

    5 EYEWITNESS NEWS also obtained that criminal complaint in which a verbal argument with male family members of a woman who suspected Gooden was behind "harassing phone calls...made to her cellphone" culminated in Gooden and one of the other men "squaring off to fight." That's when the investigator said, Gooden pulled what witnesses described as a 7-inch knife out of his pocket and threatened to stab the other man.

    The complaint also said Gooden threw rocks at the family's car as they drove away, breaking the rear-view window, before he fled the scene.

    Under state law, that lifetime ban exists as a public protection against people convicted of crimes which are, according to lawmakers, "indications of future dangerousness."

    If anybody looked at the bluebook value lately prices really took a hit.  My dealer told me the next time I go riding to come and get one of their demo sleds to get some miles on.  Dealers have to get at least 450 miles on the sleds before they get any breaks on the price.

    Good luck getting to 450 this year… especially in Sconnie at this point.

    Moguls isn't the one that burned last year, that was Papa Charlies...

    Yeah that was a mistake on my part.  I knew that, not sure why I said Mogul’s.

    Ate at Blue Finn last night and the bartender said not many had been staying there for a few years since the new owner took over, pretty much pissed off a lot of people.  He wanted to rebuild and is the only one who is happy about the fire… just “speculation” at this point but awfully suspicious.

    Any reports on how it went?  A couple courses down here (Rochester) opened up but I heard it was still plenty wet in areas.  One of the guys I work with was looking to see if anyone wanted to take a half day this past Thursday, but I told him we're gonna have way better days to burn a half day and golf - so no golf this past week.

    Have you ever been to Lake Pepin Golf Course (the one that Paul S's family owns)?  That's where we all play / have memberships at.  Check it out sometime & let us know if you're around ... the 19th Hole can get pretty entertaining up there! :bc:

    He shot an 84!

    I haven’t been to Paul’s course but my son has many times…
