Minnesota lawmaker shootings: Legislators targeted by suspect impersonating police

[EvilEyeFleegle]

I'd be giving odds that he's not going to move until cover of darkness...

Who is Vance Boelter, the man wanted in the assassination of Melissa Hortman?

The man who authorities say impersonated a police officer and shot two state lawmakers north of the Twin Cities is believed to be 57-year-old Vance Boelter, multiple sources told the Associated Press.

Given his connections with the Congo and his security background, he might not even be in the country by now--it's clear that this guy, unlike others--actually planned to get away.

Weird as it sounds, there are religious, pro-lifers that are (on some other issues) left wing and vote accordingly.

Take our local Mormons, they are armed to the teeth, but have adopted a lot of unwanted kids. They all vote dem due to immigration policy issues. Weird but there is no fathoming the religious mind at times.

Odd..our local Mormons..and there are a lot of them..vote R reliably.

But yeah, they're armed to the teeth as well~

It was in Minn not MI and was done by a Tim Waltz poltical appointee against a dem that four days ago crossed the aisle and joined the gop in the state to vote against giving Medicaid to illegals

The governor's office appoints thousands of people of all parties to these boards and commissions—that particular board has about 60 people on it. These are unpaid, external boards that the legislature creates, not appointments to positions in the governor's Cabinet. However, a 2019 document shows Walz signed off on Boelter's appointment "because of the special trust and confidence I have in your integrity, judgment, and ability."

Funny. A whole thread of Righties bending over backwards to avoid the truth. Another right wing Christian religious nut shoots up liberals.

2025 starting off like every other year. A year full of right wing murders.

Every Extremist Murder in 2024 was committed by a right winger

Every Extremist Murderer in 2023 was a Right Wing Extremist

80% of Extremist Murders in 2022 were by Right Wing Extremists

90% of Extremist Murders in 2021 were by Right Wing Extremism

94% of 2020 Extremist Murders were by Right Wingers

And of course we have no extradition treaty with the Congo.

Both of those are ashkenazik.... I wonder if it's some kind of a twisted anti-semitism


It doesn't matter if he's left or right he's only one category right now ....

Insane

Not every murderer is insane. In fact, very few are.

It's like Mall Ninja meets Eric Rudolph.

Very stupid statistics. The bulk of all murders are committed by murderers. Not by politics.
You can cherry pick a few spectacular instances but they are meaningless in the face of the national totals and only serve to prove a point that doesn't exist. This is the highest form of bigotry being displayed by you right now.

Uh-huh.
Which you can bet yer azz this guy knows already.

I beg to differ. Once one loses respect for human life on that level whatever the mind is it certainly is not sane. Does that mean the person is a babbling idiot no. But it certainly does not mean that they are well.

"Crazy" Ted Kaczynski's manifesto is shocking in how accurate many of his predictions have become.

If the 3 letter agencies at the time could have banned Ted's manifesto from being released, they would have done it in a second but they realized it could be used to catch him.

Yep..... Why do I feel like we've just been blitzed by a one-armed bandit?

You are late to the game.

Yeah, I couldn’t find it when I looked in that list, either. I couldn’t imagine they would just delete a thread on the major breaking news story of the day.

So, I did a search using a keyword, and there it was - hidden under the Justice System subforum.

This isn't even in the Justice system yet.

They haven't even found the guy yet.

Mr. Boelter has delivered several sermons at a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In a video of one that was posted online, he appeared to criticize gay and transgender people.

“There’s people, especially in America, they don’t know what sex they are,” he said. “They don’t know their sexual orientation, they’re confused. The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.”

 

[scruffy]

What you should be worried about is the spreading crazy among democrats.

Yeah but that's not news.

The right is violent as ****. They tried to kill Trump.. twice. Now they are shooting up left wing politicians. They are responsible for almost ALL political murders over the last 6 years that I posted. You all need to be stopped.

He’s an evangelical Christian who is opposed to abortion and LGBTQ.

But who knows if he’s left or right?

Yeah, that pivotal vote the victim provided, might not even be the motive at all.
One wonders just what the victim's voting record was on abortion....which does seem central to the narrative.
