Minnesota lawmaker shootings: Legislators targeted by suspect impersonating police

[westwall]

KSTP said that his wife was found...In a car with cash, passports, a firearm and ammo.

And 3 of their 5 kids.

If I enter a dem state like NY, and have a 30 round mag, then armed agents will attempt to arrest me, steal my property and possibly shoot me if I resist. That's violence, and it's sanctioned by most leftists.

Now who's violent?

Don’t break the law…

You aren't going to like this post, but it needs to be said about Vance Bolter.

At first, I assumed Vance Boelter was just another grifter in the NGO/activist space. He built a fake resume, floated around volunteer gigs, and set up shell organizations for clout. His "Red Lion Group" has no real paper trail. His side business in "security services" looks like a cash grab.

But the more I dug, the more different it looks.

Boelter was a 7/11 manager, but constantly promoted himself as a corporate executive. He claims the title "Dr." based on a Ed.D. in Leadership. He chased every opportunity to get in front of an audience: volunteering for Governor Walz's "Workforce Development" initiatives, speaking at conferences, anything to be seen as a leader.

And in videos of him in African churches, you see him light up. He's performing. He's preaching vague, positive platitudes to foreign audiences. He wanted to be somebody. He wanted to be followed.

There's good reason to believe that
@JamesHartline
is right... he was remodeling that building below into a church. Not to serve Jesus, but as a stage for an audience that would never come.

I think he is a man addicted to attention and status, who tried to get it through a lot of means. And when that attention dried up (possibly whoever cut him off his funding in Congo), he snapped.

I believe Vance Boelter committed violence as a last, desperate attempt to be glorified: under the delusion that killing abortion rights activists would make him a martyr or hero.

This is not Christianity. I watched his sermons. They were designed to provoke emotional applause, not spiritual conviction.

His actions contradict the standard Jesus gave us to recognize false prophets:

"By their fruits you will know them." – Matthew 7:15–20

Boelter bore no good fruit. Just narcissism, manipulation, and ultimately violence. He wasn't an evangelical or MAGA. He was a man who couldn't stand being ordinary.

“Couldn’t stand being ordinary”… like a lot of MAGAs

Don’t break the law…

I smell desperation. They know they can't continue to defend the murdering MAGAT. So they change the subject.

 

[JimH52]

FOX news is praising the Felon in Chief and ignoring the search for the MAGAT killer. I guess they are determined he is not a "leftist."

There are some sick MAGATS out there.

Well, this guy sure is/was weird.

And how is it that they haven't caught him yet?

A perfect example of NPR's news department being scrupulously non-partisan and informative.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

this is a problem with moderators interpretation. My thread is "all about the suspect"
this thread is about people getting shot.

I started a thread strictly on the suspect as well yesterday morning, and it was quickly merged here.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

You damn right.

Why did you put a major news story on a board most of us do not pay attention to?

 

[Marener]

A perfect example of NPR's news department being scrupulously non-partisan and informative.

As such, it’ll be ignored by those who prefer sensationalist yellow journalism.

 

[theHawk]

Did they catch this guy yet?

 

[Crepitus]

Did they catch this guy yet?

No, but they caught his wife and some other relatives on their way to the airport with cash and passports.

Liar. Desperate MAGA domestic terrorist, you are.

A "liberal" who's roommate said he voted for Trump. See the videos below.

A "liberal" who had a list of dozens of Democratic politicians he wanted to kill.

You're sick in the head. And you should be banned from this board for telling such blatant lies, if the moderators here were doing their jobs.

Conservatives have suddenly lost all interest in this story. Didn’t even last a day for them.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Slowly but surely the U.S will become as lawless as Canada and other nations.

It will be up to Trump, JD Vance, Gabbard and Rubio to hold the line. It will not be easy when so many nations want to have your government become the overlords over citizens rights. Just look at what they tried to do to Trump.
