Confirming the identity of every single person to enter would be virtually impossible without it becoming like airport security which would drive their customer visits down to, oh, about zero. I wouldn't put this on the mall security.
As a former resident of MN, couldn’t say it better. To be avoided at all costs at the Holiday season, people fly in to shop there. No joke. The upper lever was just starting to be occupied when I left.

It would take you 86hrs to visit each store, but only if you spent ten min in each store. 40 million visitors annually.

Please don’t blame security or law enforcement for how they manage security.

He most likely will be found not responsible due to mental disease-anything else would be racist!!

I bet if the perp was Caucasian- everyone would say he's just evil; If he was white and found insane, the comments of "sounds about white" and all that from the Twink Cities SJW would be deafening. Now everyone is bending over backwards to keep him out of prison-solely because he's not white- cause slavery.

I expect the "let's not make everything about race" rebuttals- and you'd be right!!!! EXCEPT that if a white dude tossed a non white child off the balcony, race is ALL anyone would talk about!! My brother lives up there, and most folks are going out of their way to not rip on this guy, since that would go against their narrative that only YT people commit such crimes. The truth no one wants to admit (since saying non whites aren't perfect is racist) is that 99% of ALL races, faiths, ethnicities, are decent, law abiding people just trying to live their lives the best they can, while 1% or so are not so good folks. Saying so isn't racist. What IS racist, is demonizing someone SOLELY because of their race, or faith, but so is excusing them for doing something bad, solely because of it

Uh... he's already been convicted and is serving a 19-year prison sentence.

But, hey, at least you got to spout a bunch of racial resentment...

It’s already been updated that he got 19 years. That’s why the thread was resurrected.

'Angels caught me': Boy thrown from mall balcony walking normally, family friend says
A 5-year-old boy who was thrown from a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America in Minnesota is walking normally again seven months after the attack.
That's according to an update posted Friday by family friend Noah Hanneman on a GoFundMe page which has raised more than $1 million for the boy and his family.

I saw that on the news last night but it didn't say he was walking normally. If he is, that is great! I had forgotten how much time the perp got and when I heard 19 years, I got mad all over again. 19 years is just no way near enough for attempted murder, imo. That's what he, in theory, tried to do in my book.

This situation is beyond horrible. I'm glad the guy got what he got for jail time. I'm even happier the kid is doing better and is back in school!!

Okay, they have collected over a million dollars for him. He is now back in school and "He is now walking PERFECTLY with even legs AMEN". So why is the GoFundMe still open? It sounds like he has made a miraculous recovery. I'm not sure what they need more money for. It sounds like he is fine.
