Looting for Winston Smith or someone like him (3)
I want to add notes to our coverage of Winston Boogie Smith, the target of a North Star Fugitive Task Force arrest operation that cornered him at the top of the parking ramp adjacent to Uptown’s Seven Points (better known as Calhoun Square). Smith appears to have engaged in a gun battle with members of the task force when they sought to arrest him on an outstanding warrant this past Thursday afternoon.
• Doing the work that the Star Tribune won’t do, Kyle Hooten provides background on the deep thoughts of Winston Smith in the Alpha News story “Minneapolis man shot by police published plans for ‘war’ to kill cops.” Subhead: “Winston Smith asked protesters to target police from the rooftops and bring bombs to rallies.” Kyle’s story is documented with social media including two Instagram videos.
