NAACP of Rochester, MN, in action.
Just when you thought the middle finger and N-Bomb (with a hard ER) being dropped, the viral video of Shiloh Hendrix was yesterday’s news.
Well, not so fast. As it turns out, Rochester, Minnesota’s most famous blonde is now directly in the legal crosshairs of the local chapter of the NAACP.
KTTV-TV of Rochester is now reporting that group is formally demanding “The city of Rochester’s Attorney’s Office and the Olmsted County Attorney’s Office to take action against Shiloh Hendrix…”
Specifically, it’s being reported that the list of charges the NAACP demands be pressed is as follows;
- Minn. Stat. 609.72 – Disorderly Conduct: Prohibits abusive, obscene, or offensive conduct that reasonably causes alarm or anger, including racial slurs and aggressive public behavior.
- Minn. Stat. 609.224 – Fifth-Degree Assault: Criminalizes acts committed with the intent to cause fear of immediate bodily harm, which includes chasing and threatening a child.
- Minn. Stat. 609.749 – Harassment/Stalking: Covers intentional conduct that causes emotional distress and includes when such acts are directed at children or individuals with disabilities.
- Minn. Stat. 609.2231, Subd. 4 – Bias-Motivated Assault: Provides enhanced penalties when assault is motivated in whole or in part by the victim’s race, disability, nationality, religion, ethnicity or other protected status.
- Minn. Stat. 609.378 – Child Endangerment: Prohibits placing a child in a situation likely to harm their mental, emotional, or physical well-being.
- Minn. Stat. 609.02, Subd. 10 – Definition of Assault: Clarifies that assault includes acts done with intent to cause fear—physical contact is not required for an act to be chargeable.
- Minn. Stat. 609.222 – Assault in the Second Degree: Applies if any object was used or brandished in a threatening manner during the incident.
But wait, there’s more.
Earlier this month, KTTV-TV also reported that the Rochester Police Department had completed their investigation into Hendrix, and has already turned the findings over to the Rochester City Attorney’s Office for review and “consideration for a charging decision.”
For their part, the same Rochester City Attorney’s Office has issued the following statement (emphasis mine);
The review will proceed deliberately, but with an appropriate sense of urgency. We acknowledge the significant impact this incident has had on those directly involved and on the broader community.
At this time, it would be premature to estimate when a final decision will be made. We ask for the community’s patience as the legal review continues. Once a determination has been reached, we will share that information publicly.

Just me, but I can see this Stalin-esque show trial will result in an eventual arrest, trial and conviction of Shiloh Hendrix.
From what I’ve gathered, she’s a single mom. I’d also be willing to bet she has blood relations there in the Rochester area. I’d also lay money on it that the local or state governments will do everything in their power to take custody of her two children.
In the meantime, her fundraiser on GiveSendGo is still active.
