Black on white crime in Minneapolis: Another home invasion murder.
Lots of black on white home invasion robberies and murders lately. Here’s one from Minneapolis. His family and friends begged him to move from his sketchy neighborhood.
He refused. Now he is dead. Victim on a man who broke into his house saying he was looking for help.
His girlfriend was outside.

This was not the first time they were victims of black on white crime. But in this part of the world, that is considered normal. So it does not make the paper. And no one really raises a fuss about it.
Here’s an excerpt:
The stranger ran to the back door of Thomas Sonnenberg’s northMinneapolis house, screaming “Let me in! Somebody’s going to kill me!”
Sonnenberg, a 69-year-old retired technician known as a good Samaritan on his block, stepped outside, looked around and ushered the man inside, then was careful to lock the deadbolt.
At the stranger’s behest, he called 911. Moments later, Sonnenberg lay on the floor, with a bullet to the head, and the man he had sought to shelter from harm was attacking Sonnenberg’s 68-year-old wife.
Police arrived in time to interrupt the midday Friday assault in the small house in the 3700 block of Aldrich Avenue N., but they could do nothing for Sonnenberg, who died of the gunshot wound.
The home invasion and killing, as recounted Saturday by one of the Sonnenbergs’ daughters and by police reports, was the fulfillment of the family’s fears about the dangers the retired couple faced in their longtime home on the border of the Camden-McKinley neighborhoods.
These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.
Thomas Sowell said : ”Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities.” – National Review.
Get it here:
mr. flaherty i contacted NPR using the form on their websight. suggested having you on as a guest. there was an extensive drop down menu of all their shows. i had to choose the program to contact. i chose “all things considered” is there any other one i could contact in addition? we might as well have our bases covered.
there are a bunch of email address and contact info at whitegirlbleedalot.com — all is great and you are making a difference.
I lived in South Minneapolis for over 25 years, finally my neighborhood got so bad we moved to a St. Paul suburb where there are few blacks, now we don’t hear gunfire and sirens all the time. North Minneapolis is a hell hole, and has been since the late 1960’s, any white person who choses to live there is risking their lives. As to be expected, the original Minneapolis Star-Tribune article did not identify the race of the perp and victim, but the victims last name sounds very Swedish, and given the area, it was a safe bet that the perp was black. I see that the updated version does have the pictures of both vic and perp. The Star-Tribune has, like most papers, a policy of not identifying race in crime stories “unless it is pertinent” to the story, and whenever it is black on white crime, the Star-Tribune makes the determination that race is not pertinent.
lots of stuff on the star tribune in white girl bleed a lot
