"Does Your Probation Officer Know How You Park?" Seeking Answers In Northside "Car Climbs A Light Pole" Incident...

Minnesota Department of Corrections Offender Locator mug shot, 
therefore public domain, blog post by John Hoff

Everything I am hearing keeps confirming what a high-placed "Little Birdie" told this blogger; that a recent dramatic "car climbs a light pole to get away from gunfire" incident in North Minneapolis involved the son of NAACP President Jerry McAfee, long a fixture in North Minneapolis politics and society. Despite the jokey headline, this blog is not clear who was actually or allegedly at the wheel and did the miraculous job of "parking" a car sideways against a light pole. 

I couldn't have pulled that off if I tried, over and over, a hundred times. IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!

Julian McAfee, pictured above from his Minnesota Department of Corrections mug shot, has been on probation since May 24, 2010, but will soon be getting off probation, which expires on April 22 of this year. 

Unless, of course, he messes up somehow...

The offense Julian committed was aiding and abetting a robbery. 

Julian's name came up in a very interesting scandal, click here for Star Tribune article, which involved county victim advocate Kesha Green accused of bribery. Green was convicted of a lesser count, though county attorney Mike Freeman himself testified against her. The charges swirled around information about a confidential witness in a gang-related homicide. Here is what the Star Tribune said, word for word:

In court Williams testified the information was for the Rev. Jerry McAfee, a church founder and activist in north Minneapolis for two decades. He said McAfee planned to pass the information on to his son Julian, the main suspect in a homicide last year. Williams alleged McAfee's son wanted to intimidate the witness so she would not testify against him.

During the trial, Jerry McAfee denied he asked for the information. His son hasn't been charged in the homicide, but police said he remains a suspect.


In light of the colorful and photogenic "car climbs a light pole" incident, there has been a lot of discussion on the North Vent Facebook forum about Reverend McAfee and Julian. One "venter" said words to the effect "everybody knows" Julian is "a banger," but this blog doesn't deal in "everybody knows." I would prefer some who, what, when, where, why and how (allegedly) to flesh out the back story, here. 

For example, specifically, in whose murder was Julian a suspect?

Intersting that he is wearing a Zodiac MC jacket in one of his facebook pictures.

This happens to be the same club affiliation that two people were murdered at just over a year ago.

In one of his profile pics, he is wearing a shirt that says, "RIP LaJoseph." Given the unusual name, I would bet that would be LaJoseph A. Burgess. Parrish Gray was in the car with Burgess when he was shot. I believe Parrish Gray, who was also later shot & killed, was associated with the Murder Squad.

Can't Daddy get him a job to keep him out of trouble? Or is the apple just falling at the base of the tree?

Praise the lord and pass the basket, reverend, you are a fraud and rip off your parishioners and speak with a forked tongue.
Keep your own house in order and, surely, quit telling folks you need their money before you go to hell for theft. GO TO HELL ANYWAY AND TAKE YOUR DOGS WITH YOU.

A comment has been rejected. I will not publish comments that use the word "subhuman" in what appears to be a racist context. I do not care what other stuff you've said in your comment, stuff that I might even agree with; I will not allow the use of that word in comments on my blog.

Johnny Northside! said...

I'd heard that children (plural) of Reverend McAfee had been sent "out of state" but nobody has fleshed out the details of that for me. Anybody who knows the details, please, comment on this.

Nobody says "honky." Nobody except that tedious commenter who is always trying to start a discussion on an alleged double standard with racist commentary on this blog.

Let me see if I get this. A 26 year old man ran into a utility pole while being shot at. He is an animal. Let us bash his father. There is no story here just a place to spit and evoke ugliness. Have a blessed Easter.

That is EXACTLY what your unfriendly neighborhood Turd Blogger is all about.
Next time you see him, be sure to click your heels.

His father is just a thug in a suit.

A typo in this article has been corrected. The article originally stated McAfee's probation "expired" on April 22. That should be the future tense, "expires" on April 22.

Though in two days, the tense of the sentence will be correct.

In any case, the word "expired" has been corrected to say "expires."

I'll tell you one way the JNS coverage differs from the mainstream media here. The Strib's story has a tone of "gosh, violence is so bad in north that even a pastor's son gets shot at." JNS exposes this guy's not-so-pastoral past to show that he's leading a lifestyle where it's far more likely he will be shot at than the average northsider.

Here's part of what the Star Tribune wrote about the incident:

And some warned this week that a spate of recent shootings could be the start to a renewed battle between two neighborhood gangs, including the shooting of Julian McAfee, 26, the son of Pastor Jerry McAfee, on Monday in north Minneapolis. McAfee was grazed by a bullet and not seriously injured, said his father.

McAfee said anti-crime efforts should be focused on talking to young gang members to prevent retaliatory shootings.

“We’ll start calling the brothers back together to patrol the neighborhood ourselves,” he said.

McAffee can't even keep his own thug out of a gang. How could he possibly have any control over the rest of the terrorists running wild in NoMi?

We will start calling the brother's back to patrol the neighborhood ourselves. Start with your own brood, McAfee, and then stay the hell out of it since you are a poverty pimp and a fraud feasting on your people and congregation, fool.

I am caught a little off guard whenever I hear a friend is in McAfee's cult, oh I mean congregation. No, I mean cult. I am so NoT needy that being in that man's presence or just seeing him in video males me sick. He's a sick and twisted manipulator hat abuses his position and is destroying the possibility of a bright future for our young black men.

Spin it any way you want; I smell a hunk of shit with the brothers patrolling the hood and the same old same old. You guy's act like you got your shit together and it is anything but THE SAME FUCKING BULLSHIT.

The big, bad ,responsible brothers patrolling the 'hood and all of the crime disappears. I believe you guys have already tried this and failed miserably so you obviously would be the fox guarding the hen house. The problem is YOU THINK ALL OTHER RACES ARE FUCKING STUPID.

What on earth is this discussion? How I loathe it when people keep trying to turn the discussion to race this, race that, this race this, this race that.

We are all brothers and sisters. We all bleed red. We should keep the discussion centered on the content of character and stop this constant race talk. I hold my nose and approve some comments solely for the purpose of allowing a robust discussion and this was one of those.

By saying brothers,I know you didn't believe that the fraud meant white guys. So please quit playing inane games with our intelligence. Quit acting like a white guy.
