    Your answer is to be found in this very thread starting with post 13 then reading down including post #19 that prematurely spiked the ball and continuing on from there.

    Ok if that’s what you care about, then by all means, go back and point your finger.
    I don’t give a shit.
    I am disturbed by this killer.

    Just the opposite. I figured this thread was gonna be the normal left feeding fenzy. It surprised me when it wasn’t. Now it is.
    It looks like this guy was just a legit lunatic. Thus the drastic increase in posts.

    Good point, including that extreme right-winger, Abraham Lincoln.

    Don't know if this has already been posted, Boelter is a Republican who was appointed to a bipartisan advisory board by Gov. Walz. He's a Republican who voted for Trump in 2024.
    Fact check: Was suspected assassin Boelter close with MN Gov. Walz?
    It’s true that Walz reappointed Boelter in 2019 to a workforce development advisory board, one that Hoffman also served on at the time.

    But the governor did not know Boelter, a source in his office said, and emphasized these are not appointments to a position in the governor’s office or Cabinet. Boelter was first appointed to the board in 2016 by then-Gov. Mark Dayton.


    Boelter’s friend and roommate David Carlson told reporters on Saturday that Boelter voted for President Donald Trump and was a “strong supporter” of the president but was “hardly ever talking about politics lately.”

    The workforce board has about 60 members, many of whom are not politically connected or would have meaningful access to the governor or interactions with him. The workforce board is tasked with recommending policies to Walz and the Legislature.

    Hundreds, if not thousands, of people apply to serve on these state boards, task forces, advisory councils and commissions each year. There are more than 130 in total, including high-paying jobs on powerful councils, but they mainly are volunteer positions.

    This doesn’t fit the narrative I have constructed based on my ignorance of how state level politics and appointments actually work, so I reject your fake news.

    It’s not my thing as my post on this was only about the disturbing nature of the killer and the fine work by the police sergeant. Simply pointing out others that were hanging their hat on that in response to your comment hardly makes it all I care about.

    What would we do without the media to tell us what to think? Once we figure out where all his money came from, we will have a much clearer picture of this guy. Looks a lot like the Ryan Routh guy.

    Pathetic how the right was so desperate to immediately want to paint this as being committed by someone on the left so they can continue to gaslight us about the false narrative that the left is the “party of violence” despite all the evidence to the contrary. Wouldn’t expect anything less from them.

    It'd be laughable, if it weren't so tragic.

    Glad they caught him. Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

    Politically-motivated killing shouldn't be a left or right thing.
    It should be a red line for everyone.

    I also noticed that they were able to track, corner, capture, restrain and walk to a waiting police vehicle all without shooting him, slamming him onto the ground in front of the media and putting their knee onto the back of his neck for a good 5-10 minutes. Imagine that.

    I wonder what the difference between this arrest and the George Floyd arrest was??

    Who shot up that congressional softball match, if you must insist on one side being less guilty? Riots in LA? Summer of love 2020?
