While I can't share much about the death of Senator Paul Wellstone or much else I can offer a little bit of info. There was a knifing incident at Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud a few years ago that was terror related. St. Cloud has a large Samali population.
Several local resorts around Brainerd area have shady histories? Breezy Point Resort has ties to the Mafia going back to the 20's during prohibition. Other resorts like Madden's and Cragun's cater to the very rich. Many Hollywood stars own lake homes or hideaways. Minnesota is a strange mix of the very rich and the very poor. I'm one of the poor ones! Chuckle.
