Shooting Victim Was "James H. Cole," Much Being Said In "True North" Facebook Forum But So Far Unconfirmed By JNS Blog...

JNS blog has confirmed the most recent North Minneapolis shooting victim was a man named James H. Cole, pictured above, who resided at 4115 Queen Ave. N. with his girlfriend who owns the house. 

Yes, as previously reported here on JNS blog, the man did yard work as was well liked by many. But on True North Facebook forum, information is circulating linking James Cole to the disturbing Facebook page of...

...one "J Blockboy Cole." 

Click here for that Facebook page. 

Second helpings of "Pointergate," anybody? Here's the wallpaper from the Facebook page of "J Blockboy Cole." 



Many links about "J Blockboy Cole" are being shared there on True North, a forum that has become more popular among a number of Northsiders as "North Vent" has begun to lapse into the same crippling political correctness that ultimately took over the "North Talk" Facebook page. 


JNS blog has yet to see the smoking gun link between James H. Cole and J Blockboy Cole but "True Northers" are discussing the matter with a tone of certainty and finality.

Are we, as a city, willing not to become another Chicago? Wake up assholes and realize that these bastards are playing your dumbasses and the "leader" of our area is in kahoots with these motherfuckers. Blow the fucking lid off this bitch, John, and then don't post this either...til later.

In cahoots?

What a charming and archaic expression.

I do not believe posing for a picture makes anybody "in cahoots" with somebody else. But when police say that particular gesture is being used by a gang sign in North Minneapolis, well, unfortunately there is evidence they are right and people who called it "ridiculous" are living to see pieces of evidence coming forward, first on the social media of Navell Gordon and now, well, we're seeing more here.

But none of that is the same as "in cahoots." That is an extreme and unsupportable statement.

WE AS NORTH SIDE RESIDENTS NEED TO STOP BLAMING EVERYBODY AND EVERY SITUATIONS ON OTHER PEOPLE, YOU LIVE BY THE SWORD YOU DIE BY THE SWORD!!!
THE BIBLE, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD, SAYS THAT WE SPEAK LIFE AND DEATH FROM OUR TONGUES.
SO WHEN I SEE THIS IGNORANCE AND LISTEN TO THE GARBAGE THAT THESE SO CALLED WANT TO BE RAPPERS SCRAPPING PENNIES TO BE HEARD IT MAKES ME GAG. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 BLACK YOUNG MEN WHO ARE IN COLLEGE AND AVOID BULLSHIT IN THE STREETS. DON'T GO BLAMING THE WHITE MAN, THE BLOGGERS, BLAME IT ON YOUR IGNORANCE AND FIND A LIFE OUTSIDE OF GANG AFFILIATION, TROUBLE AND GREED. HALF OF THESE WANNA BE RAPPERS ARE SPENDING THE DOPE MONEY ON HOTEL ROOMS FILLING YOUR BODY WITH DRUGS AND FAST FOOD, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TOOK A DUNK, PROBABLY NOT LATELY SO GO HANDLE THAT, RELEASE THAT LOAD.
THANK YOU JOHNNY NORTHSIDE FOR THIS BLOG!!!

If you look at the "1 Share", it seems as though they are the same person.

We can only hope that the "gang sign" phase becomes so common place that these lunatics move on to some other method of differentiating themselves from the norm.

For that - Thank you Betsy.

I mean what self respecting hood would want to be seen giving the same salutations as that flake.

"first on the social media of Navell Gordon and now, well, we're seeing more here. "
How is a photo of a bunch of guys making various hand gestures (including pointing) at all "evidence" that pointing is a gang sign? Do you have evidence the young men in the above photo are in a gang other than the pointing? How is a photo of a gesture proof that the gesture is a gang sign unless you know these making the gesture are gang members?
I don't know if James is the J Blockboy or not and quite frankly I don't care right now, what I do care about is taking care of the loved ones he left behind and the fact that no matter who you are or what you do murder is never a justifiable death.
