I have been informed by the Hennepin County Prosecutor that Anthony John Ellis, who slashed the face of Park Commissioner Jon Olson while acting stupid and intoxicated, has pled guilty in the attack. No plea deal was offered; Ellis simply elected to do the right thing and save everybody the trouble of a trial. This is the first solid act of good citizenship I've heard of by Anthony Ellis and I can only hope he rehabilitates himself and emerges a better person. More than once I've been told this action was "out of character" for Ellis.
I should add that I met Jon Olson a couple weeks ago at Tootie's. Olson's wounds have healed amazingly well due to the...
...god-given talent of skilled surgeons. Some scars are visible, but these are very subtle and apparently more work on Olson's face will be performed to reduce even these minor reminders of the injuries.
Olson admitted to having at least one moment of intense anger over the slashing incident, but mostly he is at peace and happy to be alive. Olson was more interested in telling me about exciting developments with a natural swimming pool being constructed in North Minneapolis.
I hope to have a full report on that in the near future.

ReplyDeleteWith no threads or comments, your not telling the whole story leaves little to debate on this dubious friend of yours who you like to imbibe with.
ReplyDeleteLet's see the court transcript, Mr. Magic, to see what truly initiated the "attack" that he pled guilty to. Fox News could do a more honest job telling us the whole story. Never mind, I will not expect to hear the truth so do not bother.
Um, won't be much of a court transcript because, you know, pleaded GUILTY.
ReplyDeleteyou are a racist, son, and you have angered me for the last time because you know the deal with this guy and continue to act otherwise. you are a typical two faced white man.
ReplyDeleteTony was defending himself!! It wasn't the first time Jon has jumped him in an alley.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of "pled guilty" wasn't clear in the headline?
ReplyDeleteFunny Jon said he has not been able to pay his property tax due to the attack, but the so called attack on him happened two years after he stopped paying the tax. Lie? maybe, i guess he stretches the truth a little. True colors are showing and these ignorant people keep electing this idiot.
ReplyDeleteTo me it doesn't seem unreasonable at all that two years later one might have medical expenses left over from EXTENSIVE FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY and property taxes might not get paid. I don't see anything that sounds false. If he's saying that (and I'm only hearing it from you) it actually rings true.
