This happens all too rarely and it’s a shame because it allows leftists and the media to turn their latest monster into a martyr with soft-focused photos and sketches.
Arabella Yarbrough says she thought she and her 2 kids were going to die Wed. night, after she says Tekle Sundberg fired these shots through her apt. She says she called police. Sundberg was shot and killed by MPD ending a 6hr standoff. More on this, tonight at 10. @kare11 pic.twitter.com/4x0ITgBkoZ— Deevon Rahming (@DeevonRahming) July 17, 2022
What started as a rally for a man shot and killed by Minneapolis Police quickly took a turn after the mother of two nearly hit by bullets while inside her apartment showed up to share her story on Saturday afternoon.
Arabella Yarbrough was cooking food for her children Wednesday night when she says Tekle Sundberg fired bullets into their home, nearly hitting them. Police responded and helped Yarbrough escape when according to police, Sundberg also fired at officers. That led to a six-hour standoff outside the building that lasted until MPD snipers killed the 20-year-old early the next morning.
“I literally had five minutes to live while he had six hours to choose life or death. The police stated they did not want to kill him,” Yarbrough told Fox 9.
Activists are still “demanding answers”.
People gathered Saturday afternoon to honor Andrew ‘Tekle’ Sundberg while demanding more answers after he was shot and killed by law enforcement on Thursday morning.
The answer here is pretty obvious. The only question here is “What the hell is wrong with you people”.
Two Minneapolis police snipers shot Sundberg early Thursday morning, ending a six-hour standoff that began when police were called to the apartment complex at around 9:30 p.m. on a report of shots being fired inside the building. A mother with two young children called 911 and told dispatchers someone was firing shots through their apartment.
Minneapolis police spokesman officer Garrett Parten said the fatal shots were fired around 4:30 a.m. following six hours of negotiating with the man, who had barricaded himself inside an apartment on the 900 block of 21st and East Franklin Avenues in the Seward neighborhood.
According to a search warrant, while officers were attempting to evacuate the building, “officers started taking fire,” prompting them to leave the building and call the Minneapolis SWAT Team.
More answers are clearly needed, as to why this took six hours.
But the idiots who adopted him and their lawyer still insist that Tekle should still be alive and shooting at people.
His parents, Cindy and Mark Sundberg, adopted Tekle from Ethiopia when he was just four years old.
“My heart goes out to that woman (Yarbrough). She went through a very traumatic event with those bullets coming through her house,” said Mark Sundberg.
Along with their attorney, they empathized with the terror Yarbrough felt that night, but say their son should still be here.
“It’s two different incidents. It’s the shots going through her (wall) and what we are here for, when Tekle was shot,” said Mark Sundberg
I’m thinking it’s the same incident. Much like Hitler invading Poland and shooting himself in the Fuhrerbunker.
“We can do both things. We can feel terribly for this woman, but also remember that Tekle should be here with us and he should be alive and we can ask the Minneapolis Police Department to do better,” said the Sundberg family attorney, Jeff Storms.
The MPD should do better. It shouldn’t take six hours to put down a gunman who’s shooting at people. That’s a worse record than Uvalde. It should take 15 minutes or less.
Do better.
Hoi Polloi says
I loved this video. It clearly demonstrates that the activists in their activism are solely concerned with their own warped aims. The list of those for whom they demonstrate who have committed extremely violent acts against women, and here add children, is appallingly long. Like the leftist alliance with islam and their drive to rewrite even the nature of womanhood, they here also expect that women will just stand aside and accept whatever they choose to dismantle.
gravenimage says
Also, the specter of white leftists with BLM telling a victim who is a person of color to shut up because the perp was black is particularly cringe-worthy.
Keys says
Spot on ! They are repulsive!
CogitoErgoSum says
The woman has been traumatized and needs consolation yet some of these people are yelling at her to shut up. These people are showing no empathy at all for her or her little children. There is something seriously wrong with people like that. The shooter was not the only one with mental problems at the scene that day. People with mental problems seem to be drawn to such incidents. I don’t know if it’s due to the growing population or if it has always been there and we are just now seeing it better because of the internet but mental illness is a serious problem for society. Perhaps in the past people such as these would have been killed in wars or been the victims of other mentally ill people themselves but they are a serious problem and something in our world is seriously out of balance to cause their numbers to grow.
Hoi Polloi says
And the growing number of parents who think and insist on telling us all repeatedly that everyone else should “do better.”
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, these people telling others to “do better” usually have no way of defining what is good and what is bad. In fact, I would say “good” and “bad” to them are most likely dependent upon a person’s race. What is good to one person may be bad to another. So what are they using as their standard of measurement? Seems like it may have something to do with skin color. For them good tends to lean toward black and bad tends to lean toward white. I notice in this case the woman’s skin is lighter than the skin of the man who was killed – ergo, he is the “better” one.
Hoi Polloi says
Doubtless. What other excuse is there for any of this treatment of this woman, except that they have established some alternate morality?
somehistory says
I believe it’s just reverting to the old immorality. Mob rule. and the mob can be as unruly, indecent, filthy and foul-mouthed as they can think up.
Hoi Polloi says
SH, I don’t think anyone here is trying to call for a race war, (nor am I saying you’re accusing anyone) commenters are merely observing how many times over the last some years we’ve all seen extreme violence excused when the perp is black. All by people who do actually appear to be calling for a race war. And yes, it’s just mob rule by people of all races attempting to destroy this country. Posting because I fear my own post could be seen as racist.
somehistory says
Hoi Polloi,
Oh, no, I didn’t think anything of the kind. Some people…Black and White…want there to be trouble between groups of people…rich/poor; Black/White, North/South…whatever they believe will work.
It is true that although Blacks are a minority of the population, they are involved in a large part of the crimes, and because the Trouble-makers can use the shootings to stir up strife, they’ll lie and say the cops are shooting innocent Blacks.
Even when the shooting is clearly all the officers could do, they just keep shouting the same lies.
The father of the shooter was there, calling on his son to ‘give it up’ and talk to the officers, but the son didn’t even answer his father. He should be the last one to blame the cops, and yet, there he is, saying they could have, should have, done better and his son should still be alive.
As I have noted before, I have bi-racial grandchildren…White mom, Black father and I love them dearly. I would not want them to suffer from any kind of war on their ‘race.’ Nor any war, for that matter. I have no bias toward another race, although the trouble-makers…the bm, the antifa, al not-so-sharp ton, and others would say because my skin is very light of tone, I am a racist and can’t change that.
But, I didn’t notice anything untoward in your comment. By “mob rule,; I meant just that…a mob, which can be made up of all people of the same mindset…whatever their skin tone.

Thanks. I just wanted to be clear. Congratulations on your grandchildren; I look forward to having some. And what a horrid article written by a horrid person. The comments are just as nasty. I didn’t know they still had space for dreck like that. NYT continues in its loving, uniting balanced ways.

Hoi Polloi
thank you. I have seven in all, the two that are bi-racial belong to my oldest daughter.
the youngest child, my son’s daughter is now six months and a little bit.
Grandkids are great.
I say if people don’t like us here in the South, we don’t want them…or need… them here. A clip of Gov. DeSantis said when he was growing up…he was born in Fl as was I…he rarely saw a CA tag; now, he sees them all of the time. NY, OH and Canada are some of the others seen most frequently.
the writer of the NYT article said she thought about not returning, but then did. I say, she’s welcome to leave asap. and stay gone.

Good exchange, Somehistory and Hoi Polloi.
Hoi Polloi says
Kind of funny that people exult in hating an area where they choose to live. My very fair-skinned, blue-eyed blonde cousin says when she first moved to the US (and says it was the same for others in my family) that if she made even a minor complaint about the US, people instantly replied, “Then go back.” Years later, she says they were absolutely right. And thanks, GI. Always enjoy your comments.
somehistory says
“She’s obviously going through a moment,” says the overweight idiot. If someone shoots at him next time, he can go through his “moment,,” and I hope his buds show up to complain that he is complaining.
Idiots and jerks are multiplying faster than cockroaches.
The adoptive parents evidently didn’t do their job well enough. It’s partially their fault that the would-be killer is dead. They should accept that and go home without a lawsuit against the pd.
Psychopaths always look for someone else to blame. Blaming the cops for the death of someone who was trying to kill a lady and her kids, says just how far along the psychos are. And the parents are only pretending to have empathy for this poor woman and her kids. They should fork over some of their own money to find her a new apartment.
Hoi Polloi says
What sick behavior. To dismiss her like that was sick. A moment and shut up, of all things to go at her with after her experience, with her children there. I have to say that I liked watching her fight back, though, because she’s so courageous and spot-on. She left them no ground.
somehistory says
I agree. She deserves a medal…mom of the year, at least. And she’s so little compared to the mob around her. She should sue the parents for their lack of oversight of their son.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes.
Wellington says
Agreed.
gravenimage says
Yes–the idea that she is “having a moment” because she and her children were *shot at* and she considers this a bad thing is just grotesque.

A sensationalized puff-piece designed to make the criminal shooter appear to be an angelic community leader.
How dare they give out the names of the two snipers that were involved. Now they & their families will be targeted by the usual rabble-rousing bunch of unemployed, blue -haired, foul mouthed, entitled, professional bully/activists.
And what does this have to do with bloody cair (no caps intended)

Give this man a cigar!
This broadcast was the first thing I saw about the story. So I had no idea who Arabella Yarbrough was, or that Tekle was trying to kill her.
It wasn’t until the next day that I got caught up, and the difference in the reporting was stunning.
This is a particularly stark example of CAIR getting on TV too much, but there are hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of other examples.
Please join me in calling the TV stations that put CAIR on and complain that there is no balanced coverage of this rogue group that uses their media access to attack people.
Here is CAIR’s 17th vicitim of the year, Michael Rainville who had the temerity to, hold on to your pearls, criticize Somali youths. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af7pygq3Ves

BLM is as evil as Antifa. No wonder they’re allies. I can respect no adult who supports BLM. No exceptions.
Time for the tables to be turned upon both BLM and Antifa. Each needs to be treated as a pariah. And I would note that during the horrible summer of 2020 when over 500 major riots occurred in America, Democrats aplenty had nothing negative to say about either BLM or Antifa, both of whom were very instrumental in these riots, and this is partially why I am convinced that for America to survive the Democratic Party must be no more or at least confined to the fringes of American society just as Islam should be confined to the fringes of the world at large.
I hate Islam. I hate BLM. I hate Antifa. And I hate the Democratic Party of the USA. For the record.

#Antifa cells in Oregon are calling their comrades to mobilize to attack the “Honky Tonk Bar” in Salem, Ore. on Saturday, July 16 because they accuse it of hosting an anti-open borders event feat.
Didn’t work. Antifa tried to move on to a second biker target. Also didn’t work. Appears as though we’ll have to install a biker government if we want any pushback against antifa.

W, Andy Ngo tweeted 7/16 about biker hangouts targeted by antifa; didn’t work out for antifa. Appears we need to install a biker government to get anything done against them. Tried to post the link. Apologies for double post if it comes through after all.

The terror entity that has the name of” Black Lives Matter” is a vicious violent racist hate -filled and even murderous domestic terrorists organization that masquerades as a genuine “civil rights group.” in reality it’s nothing of the sort.
BLM is a disruptive malicious Marxist subversive that is guilty of much violence and destruction and even death and arson.
If the FBI would do what it was originally founded to do it would shut in down and arrest its leaders for treason.
Nevertheless the tragic reality id that the FBI isn’t the once grand and all American law enforcement institution that it was in the past because its been thoroughly infiltrated ,influenced and corrupted by the insidious wicked powers of the villainous Red/Green alliance.
Things will become even worse because of that Socialist ,Joe Biden , and the Communist, Kamala Harris in Office in Washington DC.

Good for Ms. Yarborough for speaking out for herself and her kids here. And along with the MLB mob are leftist White useful idiots–a couple of them had the decency to look embarrassed at protesting for a thug who tried to kill this Black family. I doubt that many of them will stop, though.

tim gallagher says
On one of the programs on Sky News here in Australia they showed this woman confronting the mob, a brave act. I couldn’t understand what she was saying but the commentators said that, at some point, she said that her apartment was full of bullet holes and some scumbag in the mob said that “well there are no holes in you” or some such thing. A person has to be bloody evil to say something like that. It certainly takes some courage to do what she did and confront the mob.
Hoi Polloi says
Evil, it truly is.
tim gallagher says
Yes, it’s a disgusting comment to make, Hoi Polloi. I was very impressed by the courage of this woman in confronting this mob.
