2 Minnesota lawmakers both shot in separate home invasions. SUSPECT IN CUSTODY

Practice? Are we talking about practice?

 

I am a fan of punishing people for actions and condemning them for thoughts.

 

Giving Tuberville a run for his money on saying really stupid things.

 

Wash Post looks at his background and how he changed.

Minnesota shooting suspect went from youthful evangelizer to far-right zealot
Residents in Vance Boelter’s hometown are struggling to reconcile what they knew of him with the killing of a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband.

Or the folks who shot tried blowing up the Senate in the 80s I believe. Yeah tow the line that these are peaceful protests.

 

An example from over 40 years ago by a very small fringe group not associated with or supporting any US political party. Got it.

Far right zealot??? Gee, I'm sure that can't be true.

We were told by several very knowledgeable posters here relying on their objective journalistic sources that the shooter was a "LIBERAL"

At least, hopefully we can all agree that law enforcement did a great job in capturing him before he could attack any other politicians/doctors, etc on his kill list.

 

Have you figured out yet that you were completely wrong. If so, have you said so to the Gator faithful? You know..to demonstrate integrity?

 

Absolutely. And, as someone else mentioned, they thought to run to other politicians' houses, just in case ...

Some of MAGA have become outright nasty and bad people, including those who proclaim theirselves to be Christian (presumably Mormon in this case).

It’s no wonder fringe figures get triggered and do crazy stuff when you have lawmakers saying such things - after someone was assassinated.

The really weird thing is the assassin was a die hard Trump supporter and anti abortion zealot.

WASHINGTON—Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) removed three social-media posts mocking and blaming leftists in the wake of attacks in Minnesota that left two people killed and two others injured, after he faced backlash from Senate colleagues.

The targeted shootings on Sunday that killed Democratic State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and injured State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife heightened security concerns on Capitol Hill and shook Minnesota lawmakers who knew the victims. Lawmakers largely united to condemn the violence—as did Lee on his official social-media profiles. But on his personal @basedmikelee X account, Lee posted several messages connecting the shootings to “Marxists” and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.

“This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way,” he posted alongside a photo of the suspect. “Nightmare on Waltz street,” he wrote in another post, an apparent reference to Walz. “Marxism is a deadly mental illness,” he wrote in response to photos of papers reading “No Kings” found in the suspect’s car.
