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."

Yup! Enough to put 5-6 miles on the two sleds that have been sitting…an itch scratcher!

My 29yo daughter just home from Cuba!

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

Yeah I was at about 4K this time last year, sitting at ~760… so far! Honestly can’t remember the last time I had less than 3000 miles for a season. Been at least 20 years.

I’m not even remotely in the need of another or newer sled, but if I was, I certainly wouldn’t be buying used this year. Too many good deals will be out there with dealers trying to unload inventory.

I just think it’s comical, they paint END RACISM on the end zones, yet make a special point to do something for a specific race before the game.

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.

He shot an 84! I haven’t been to Paul’s course but my son has many times…

Yeah but two large buildings burning COMPLETELY to the ground within 5 miles of each other?? Something doesn’t smell right.

Looks rideable! 😂😂😂

Lawmakers to push 'North STAR Act' in effort to make Minnesota a Sanctuary State by limiting cooperation with ICE https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/lawmakers-to-push-north-star-act-in-effort-to-make-minnesota-a-sanctuary-state-by-limiting-cooperation-with-ice/ (Via KSTP) FFS

1). Biden said “Fuck-All” to everything Trump did - Fail 2). This bill (if it stood alone) is a pretty good compromise. 3). The GOP should have passed this and claimed it as a GOP win because of #1 4). If Trump had half a brain he could run on this as a win for him, since nobody would do shit until it was an election year.

Or a 2021

Exactly - I have three perfectly good very well maintained sleds 2016 and up. Almost Zero chance I’m buying anything including parts this year…

And what’s a couple hundred bucks for another bag so they don’t notice if you can save a couple grand on a new one… just a thought.

The guy they didn’t want. You’re smart enough to know that’s all controlled by the states.

Ah yes, you do have a fair number of fields getting out of the Point area and then Lodi Valley is a shit ton of fields… how this year has gone, it really didn’t matter to me if I ran some fields. 500+ in 3.5 days and I would guess it was 50/50 - the Wautoma area is not as much fields. I’ll be sure to let you know when to load ‘er up next time… even if you'll be bored!

So riding from Point south through the Lodi Valley and back is considered “retard focused”??

I get that - only my son appreciates the riding of any kind so I guess my pocket book is lucky that way.
