Uh oh. One of the protected that has carte blanche?

Police have named the man accused of stabbing two people inside the Mall of America during a botched theft attempt Sunday.
Officials identified him as Mahad Abdiaziz Abdirahaman, 20, according to a local CBS report.
Abdirahaman sneaked into a men’s fitting room at the Minnesota mall and tried to swipe something from a customer’s belongings while the man was outside the fitting room modeling clothes for his family. But he caught Abdirahaman in the act, and the would-be thief pulled a knife and stabbed him, authorities said.
Hearing the victim’s screams, his family rushed to his aid, but Abdirahaman slashed a second person before they could wrest the knife from him.
The scuffle and ensuing response by police freaked out nearby shoppers waiting in line for their kids to see Santa.
