Of course it's not nice to speak ill of the dead, but evil is evil and always tries to hid behind religion just as he did. I really wish some of the friends I grew up would have come forward many years ago and protected the younger generations since the grown ups who should have protected them didn't. Major isn't the only evil that has plagued the community for far too damn long!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-79905527694732026012011-11-30T23:06:28.526-06:002011-11-30T23:06:28.526-06:00Very frustrating that the Star Tribune article is ...Very frustrating that the Star Tribune article is now at the end of a dead link.

Did they not know or did they not care? I know someone knew and the community wasn't in the dark. I would never let my boys play drums or dance for him.

Upon his arrival to Minneapolis, he was know as "Jackie" and was openly gay. He worked the Ave at night. He liked being in the presence of young boys and influenced quite a few North Side boys in his day. His beating didn't just happen, he probably touched or approached someones son or brother. He has been beat up before because of his actions. He tried to keep it undercover, but too many people knew the real Major Topps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-32865143192189269012010-11-03T21:31:30.669-05:002010-11-03T21:31:30.669-05:00The original Star Tribune story contained extensiv...The original Star Tribune story contained extensive details about an altercation involving Major Topps, including being body slammed onto a table, and "beaten unmercifully" (with quote marks around it) with a folding chair.<br /><br />A subsequent version of the story notably omits these details.

Major Topps. Minor Bottoms. <br /><br /><br />I find it very peculiar that he was thrown down basement stairs, "body slammed" and "beaten unmercifully" in a church and he fails to show up for the statement appointment with the police. <br /><br />There is more to the story of the church beating and his "nickname". <br /><br />Was his name always "Major Topps" - or was there a legal name, or a previous name?NoMi Passengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492948134726062292noreply@blogger.com
