MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Somali and Muslim leaders expressed deep concern Saturday after a white man and his teenage son dumped bloody deer carcasses on the hoods of two cars owned by Somali-American men in the central Minnesota city of St. Cloud, and they don't believe the explanation the suspects gave to police.

The victims discovered the carcasses after leaving the YMCA on Wednesday night. In a news release Friday, assistant police chief Jeff Oxton said investigators used surveillance video to track down the pair who dumped the carcasses — a 62-year-old local and his 14-year-old son. The video showed the teenager put the skinned carcasses on the cars while the father, "knowing what was happening," sat in their pickup truck, said Oxton.

"In a taped statement the suspects indicated that they needed to get rid of the carcasses and dumped them at that location in that manner," Oxton said. "It is not believed that the suspects knew either of the victims."

. . .

One of the victims and two community leaders scoffed at the suspects' claims that they merely needed to get rid of the carcasses, pointing out that they had plenty of options for disposing of them properly or could have just dumped them in the woods.

Welcome to St Cloud.

2. There's a lot of hate in outstate Minnesota.

Saint Cloud isn’t far from where a woman bashed a Somali woman across the face with a beer mug in an Applebee’s in 2016. Her offense? Speaking Swahili -one of her three languages- with some friends.
