NOT REAL NEWS: A Look at What Didn't Happen This Week

By The Associated Press

April 19, 2019

A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these is legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked these out. Here are the real facts:


CLAIM: Man who threw boy over Minnesota mall balcony is a Somali immigrant.


THE FACTS: The man arrested in the case did not emigrate from Somalia, as posts circulating on social media said. Emmanuel Aranda, 24, who was charged with attempted premeditated first-degree murder in the April 12 attack, was born in Chicago at the University of Illinois Hospital, according to Cook County birth records. He has two prior convictions for assaults at the mall, both in 2015, The Associated Press reported. The Minneapolis metropolitan region, where the Mall of America is located, has one of the country's largest populations of Somali immigrants, many of whom are Muslim. Posts circulating with the false information attempt to portray those immigrants in a negative light. Police said Aranda has admitted to throwing the child off the balcony and told authorities that he had come to the mall a day earlier seeking to kill someone. The boy suffered head trauma and multiple broken bones after being thrown nearly 40 feet. He was hospitalized in Minneapolis.


CLAIM: Photo purports to show Somali gang members beating a man on the street in Minnesota.

THE FACTS: The photo of the attack circulating on social media was falsely captioned as "Somali gangs in Minnesota grow more dangerous." It was taken in Birmingham, England, in 2009. According to caption information on the original photo, the man is being attacked during a right-wing demonstration in Birmingham. The photo was taken by Reuters photographer Darren Staples. The AP, which also covered the demonstration, reported that there were sporadic clashes between the far-right demonstrators and groups opposing them in the city center. More than 30 people were arrested during the protest against Islamic fundamentalism, the AP reported. The false caption circulating online is one of many that have targeted the Somali community in Minnesota.

No. It’s not a foreign country. No this is not a mall in Somalia. This is America. The Mall of America in Bloomington, MN. Where a 5 year old white boy was thrown off a balcony by one of these people in this exact mall. We are being invaded.

This country is no longer a country for Americans. America is no longer recognizable due to the overflow of immigrants fleeing their own countries to [deleted] the [deleted] of the American tax payer. We need to keep our country OURS! Keep America American!
