It's a wonder, really, getting weekly crime updates by email on the other side of the planet, inside an Afghan fortress made of sun baked mud and straw.
Today I read, for example, that on September 2, 2011, MPD arrested Asa Huff-Jones, 27, for riding around in a white Yukon with a loaded .45 caliber pistol. It occurs to me that, right now, the media are asking questions about how so many people are getting shot dead in North Minneapolis. Well, if that's the question, then why isn't part of the answer to...
...focus media attention on the individuals arrested every week on firearms charges? After all, who is committing the gun violence if it's NOT this class of armed no accounts driving around locked and loaded?
Here, for the sake of the accessible public record and hungry Google-bots, is the report on Asa Huff-Jones.

I was not able to locate any other criminal record on Asa Huff-Jones, however, the court record search mechanism doesn't seem overly fond of hyphenated names.
Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia.

Try this one - I found several records for him here:
http://pa.courts.state.mn.us/
That's the one I used, but it must have been having a hiccup when I used it. You're right, I pulled up his no account record there.

Cannot understand Asa until you know about the sexual abuse suffered at the hands of his crack head prostitute mother and pimp uncle and the rest of the FAMILY. Comprehende. Gangland. Let's go after the victim. What are you doing to reduce drug addiction and prostitution in dysfunctional families? If your answer is nothing you get a loaded gun.
Oh, he's the VICTIM here?
Funny, the police report would have us believe he was the a**hole driving around with a loaded gun.
Was he the "victim" with all the other charges I posted, too?
What are you, like, reading the screen upside down? Because you seem to be seeing something from a cockeyed, slanted, crazy perspective.
Ok this guy comes to the neighbor Hood every weekend Fridays sits infront of a house brings his buddies they come in his car and other cars wearing white T shirts they have cars stopping while they direct them were to go this guys sits in the yard of the house that is causing all of the trafic making all the parents on the street bring there kids inside most of the weekends while their gang is causing all the trafic. when the police finaly come heand he is taking a way the guy he brought comes out from hiding and says yelling this block is shut down nobody is getting anything. Now since they towed the truck away the street has been quiet and since the people who allowed him to do it moved away the that street seems a lot more quiet and people can walk to the store without fear of being harrased. So thank you to whomever called.
First of all whoever saying that nonsense about the crackhead mother, you need to get your facts straight about Asa. That sounds like some shit you went through. Lmfao. Second, for the ppl talking bout they was afraid of the block, everybody kids were outside playing. If anything all the kids loved Asa, cause when the ice cream truck pulled up, he bought the whole block ice cream. When Asa got out, the whole block, EVERYBODY, checked on him and was saying they missed him so JOHNNY NORTHSIDE suck a dickkkkkk!!!
