(53,758 posts)7. Yes, that's the main thrust of the story but why leave out the white...
supremacist thug's name? On most negative stories about black people and other POCs, their name is blared in the first couple of paragraphs.

Now, in a search warrant affidavit first reported by The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, police say they have received a tip that the man is Mitchell Carlson, a full‐fledged member of the Hells Angels and a known associate of the Aryan Cowboys. The Aryan Cowboys are a known prison gang out of Minnesota and Kentucky.
