25XX Fillmore St NE. Yesterday my neighbor called the police because a man was standing outside/walking around my house, looking into my windows around 11pm. I guess he was on the lawn, and very close to my house. Other people have told me about a man standing on the sidewalk and staring into my place, and from the descriptions, it seems to be the same man.

I have not heard about this happening in Minneapolis, but I think everyone should know about these bottle bombs as they will most likely make it hear at some point.

Very disturbing video shows a group of Somali thugs attacking walkers and bikers for fun. They filmed each other doing it. Police think most happened in St. Paul, but some in Mpls.

Remember to keep aware of your surroundings while you are out walking or biking. Even after they catch these dopes.
