A candidate, a crime, and a big, ugly mess in St. Paul

Why didn't Melvin Carter III think to have the serial numbers of his father's guns tattooed on his body? It's tough days out here on the mean streets of Saint Paul , with the winter winds blowing in early like the cold caress of an unfeeling matron. You gotta pop that collar on the black leather jacket a little bit higher to keep the biting air out, which believe me, I know how to do, having learned from the best.
