Criminal Record Of El Mio Ju Johnson, Victim In "Porch Murder" Incident...

Stock photo and blog post by John Hoff

El Mio Ju Johnson was one of two victims killed in a bizarre incident in which a car was used as a murder weapon, click here for the story about charges pressed in the wake of Johnson's death.

The mainstream media has reported on Johnson's murder but it seems bloggers are always left to fill the cracks in the public record...

In the pattern of most other homicides in North Minneapolis, it is not surprising to learn that Johnson had a fairly extensive criminal record and, well, here it is:

...

I really wish the mainstream media would routinely link to criminal records of this kind when reporting on homicides. Minneapolis is not plagued by murder so much as we are plagued by a criminal underclass who--in an almost random manner--sometimes commit acts of murder, mostly against each other. The coverage of murders by the mainstream media usually omits this fact.

Would you have posted this if he was white?

Damn right I would have, and previous postings of criminal records on this blog prove that point.
