SOFT-ON-CRIME DISASTER: Soros-Backed Prosecutor Mary Moriarty Left a Repeat Threatener on the Street — Now Two Neighbors Are Dead and Three Cops Are Shot

Carlton Johnson II opened fire in a Minneapolis high-rise after the county attorney’s office declined to prosecute him for months of threatening and erratic behavior, including assaulting residents and openly displaying a firearm. The rampage resulted in the deaths of two residents and injuries to three police officers before Johnson was killed in a shootout. Critics argue that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office’s decision not to charge Johnson, citing insufficient evidence, contributed to the deadly outcome.
