One less career criminal in the world isn't a mistake.
This is the guy you are breaking out the crying towels for.
Cobb had a history of convictions on violent crimes and was implicated to have gang affiliations, according to a prior court document.

Court records show that Cobb had two prior 2014 and 2017 felony convictions for domestic assault by strangulation and a 2018 felony conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
The criminal complaint in the 2017 Wright County strangulation case describes a violent episode during an argument with the mother of one of Cobb’s children in which he reportedly punched her in the face several times and grabbed her by the neck, causing her to not be able to breathe. When the victim made two attempts to escape the apartment, Cobb blocked her and again strangled her both times. The victim was holding their 6-month-old baby during at least one of the attacks, the complaint said.
A court document related to Cobb’s appeal on his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm references Cobb’s “alleged gang affiliation.”

Cobb’s Facebook account posted in May of this year appears to show him with his twin brother, Rashad Imari-Christopher Cobb. In the photo, a tattoo can be seen on Ricky Cobb’s leg that includes the words “1-9 BLOCK DIPSET GANG,” which is a north Minneapolis “lows/lowz” gang.
