JNS Blog Will Not Resist Subpoena For Emails That May Be Evidence In Shooting Incident...

As this blogger demonstrated in the Moore v. Hoff "Blogosphere Trial of the Century," I will use every means at my disposal to resist giving up my sources. I would even consider going to jail to avoid giving up a source.

HOWEVER...

Slumlord Bashir Moghul Suffers, Yet Again, In A Micro-Slum Of His Own Creation...

by Bashir Moghul, though so many of his properties
are ALSO crap, blog post by John Hoff

It's probably bad for my soul that I was cheered by the following Facebook message:

----------

Hey John, Guess who got robbed (again) a couple of weeks ago in front of his tenement on 21st and Broadway? Bashir Mogul

I don't have access to the specifics but everyone at the Jordan Safety Committee thought it was pretty funny. Might be a good article outlining the hazards of dealing with felons.

--------
This isn't even the FIRST time slumlord Bashir Moghul has suffered in a micro-slum of his own creation. Remember when he was wounded by gunfire? Click here.

Yes, it's terrible that another robbery happened in North Minneapolis. But more terrible still is the fact so many people believe Bashir Moghul deserves whatever he gets. I hope the robber had a good time with the money and bought some new venetian blinds. 

Last Member Of The Andrews Sisters Dies, They Were Raised In North Minneapolis...

Video embed from YouTube, blog post by John Hoff

I didn't know until today the Andrews Sisters were from North Minneapolis. They were responsible for such songs as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B.

Patty Andrews, the last survivor of the group, died today at the age of 94. 

I would love to know what specific North Minneapolis addresses were associated with the Andrews sisters and their family, so if anybody knows please comment.

In regard to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," it is...

JNS BLOG EDITORIAL: Spanky Pete, Clean Up Your Hygeine!

DOC mug shot therefore public domain, blog post by John Hoff

First of all, an apology.

Oh, not an apology to Spanky Pete, of course, for writing this editorial or for anything else including the time he did in prison after trying to serve paper on this blog. I wanted to let readers know a key piece of my previous blog post got left out by mistake. For those of you wondering "Where was the part about Spanky Pete's body odor," here it is...

Tom Evenstad Comments On Spanky Pete's Body Odor, And Other Topics...

Photo contributed by Tom Evenstad, blog post by John Hoff

Tom Evenstad, who can be fairly and accurately described as "convicted of being the Chat Line Rapist, yet never wavering in his assertions of innocence," recently sent me a series of emails.

I've already written about the "basis of our sick relationship" (click here) and how (incredible as it may sound) I periodically exchange emails with Tom Evenstad.

Yes, the very same Tom Evenstad who has published threats on his blog to sue me, who called up my lawyer Paul Godfread and hinted he would sue me, who once worked for Jill Clark as a beltless paralegal beta male, and who appears to spend a great deal of his life going to little committees about the topic of sex offenders, regarding which he knows a great deal.

Yes, THAT Tom Evenstad...

"Johnny Northside Dot Com" Domain Name Renewed For Next Four Years, WOOOOOOO!!!!

Photo, blog post by John Hoff

As regular and longtime readers know, this blog uses the domain name "Johnny Northside Dot Com" which is a "feeder" to my actual Blogspot address, http://adventuresofjohnnynorthside.blogspot.com/

I'm not exactly a technical geek, though I do catch on when somebody patiently walks me through and shows me stuff. So I had a friend set up the domain name ages ago because I didn't know how to do that kind of thing. So when the domain name needs renewal I call up my friend and I'm all, like, dude!!!! Can you take care of this?

And dude takes care of it.

But recently I couldn't get ahold of my dude, and the renewal notice came to my email saying my domain name would expire on 4/20/2013...

Alleged Child Molester Known As "The Chapo" Reportedly Did His Thing On Garage Rooftop, After Watching Fourth Of July Fireworks...

Stock photo, blog post by John Hoff

Normally, when I write about criminal complaints, I use the word "allegedly" with an invisible eye roll. Often the evidence of criminal wrongdoing is overwhelming and saying "allegedly" is more an act of ritual than a statement of substance.

But in this case, THIS PARTICULARLY HORRIBLE CASE, I want to emphasize there is no confession and there is no physical evidence that a guy known as "The Chapo" molested a 12-year-old girl while on the rooftop of a garage watching fireworks on the Fourth of July.

The alleged incident took place at 3618 Girard Ave. N., which is a...

Turd Burglar Update, Part One, Victim Impact Statement...

Photo, blog post by John Hoff

It's time for a little update on the suspects in the Thanksgiving Day "turd burlgary" on the 1600 block of Hillside Ave. N.

Some weeks ago, I obtained a copy of the victim impact statement but I held off publishing it for a little while. Even though I'm obviously very hard on these turd burglars, I thought to myself, well, they are JUVENILES after all. Let the system deal with them.

Then I found out some of them haven't made hearings. I will discuss this more in Part Two.

But because some of them missed hearings, it's time to write more. Here is the victim impact statement over this incident, word-for-word...

Hennepin County Jail Roster, December 24, 2012 To January 21, 2013...

Creative stock photo, blog post by John Hoff

Pictured above, Door Number 6 at the Grayhound Bus Station in Chicago, Illinois, where passengers board buses for Minneapolis. Need I say more?

Here's this month's Hennepin County Jail Roster. Keep in mind, all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law but they fact they were in jail, and what address was REPORTED as their home or place of residence is a matter of public record. This public record is not, however, preserved unless I capture it like a snapshot in time.

Oh, yes, some online services capture the fact somebody was ARRESTED. They claim to have a mug shot, but often if you search it says PICTURE NOT AVAILABLE. Far too often, I might add. It's pretty lame, actually. I am just saying.

But what the JNS blog jail roster preserves (unlike any other online service) includes the ALLEGED HOME OF RECORD. And, oh yes, that information is valuable to SOMEBODY.

So without further adieu, I present to you...

In April Of 2011, There Were 21 Level Three Sex Offenders In The 55411 Zip Code, So Guess How Many There Are NOW?

DOC mugshot, therefore public domain, blog post by John Hoff

The correct answer is THIRTY-ONE.

Though there isn't a little year-by-year bar graph showing the increase or (mostly theoretical) decrease of Level Three Sex Offenders in the 55411 zip code, one of my blog posts provides a little time capsule of a moment on April 11, 2011, when I was complaining about the presence of 21 sex offenders in the 55411 zip code...

According to a criminal complaint against Honora Tremaine Patterson, click here, Patterson was a "daily visitor" at 2311 Queen Ave. N., where he visited Lolitta M. Malone.

It was Malone's housemate and former boyfriend, Henry Love, who discovered the victim stabbed to death and covered in gasoline. Henry had come downstairs to light a cigarette.

Good thing Henry waited before lighting that cigarette.

A red plastic gas container with some gas still in it was near the body...
