What an absolute disgrace! Emmanuel Aranda, the attacker who tossed a five year old boy from the third floor balcony of the Mall of America in Minnesota only gets 19 years in prison for the attempted murder of a five year old boy named Landen. How absolutely pathetic could Minnesota be, only giving Aranada nineteen years for attempted murder! If the races were reversed an a white attacker tossed a five year old black child from the balcony of Mall of America, do you think he would only get ninteen years in jail? This stinks worse than Nancy Pelosi’s dentures.

The man who pleaded guilty to throwing a 5-year-old boy off a balcony at the Mall of America was sentenced Monday to 19 years in prison. Emmanuel Aranda pleaded guilty last month to one count of attempted premeditated murder for throwing the child from a third-floor balcony on April 12.
CBS Minneapolis reports the boy survived the 39-foot fall but suffered significant head trauma and broken bones. According to the family, his recovery has been slow, with several procedures in the weeks since the assault. The boy, identified in court only as Landen, needed multiple surgeries for head trauma and other injuries. No update on his recovery was provided in court Monday, though his parents described it as miraculous.
Aranda told investigators he went to the mall “looking for someone to kill.” According to the complaint, the 24-year-old had tried unsuccessfully to talk to women in the mall but their rejection “caused him to lash out and be aggressive.” He said he had planned to kill an adult before choosing the child instead.
