How is this not bigger news?
Convenient for the Trump administration that the (non-Fox) news is going to talk about this all day instead of the millions of people protesting him all across the country.
With the news cycles being 24/7 these days, there’s no reason they can’t talk about both. Blame them for being shit.
its on purpose, because the owners of all the MSMs are conservatives, just look who owns it
and his failure of a birthday parade too. plus trying to make the public forget about the BBB and tariffs sitll.
Meanwhile, Fox News and CNN are creaming themselves over Israel and Iran.
Fox “Israel under attack”
CNN “Israel reels from deadly Iranian missile strikes”
Sure sounds like MAGA is trying to start a hot civil war.
Going to be interesting when these people find out liberals are well armed and trained.
I keep hearing this. What are y’all waiting for, things to get bad?
What do you think they should do? Go to Minnesota and wack two Republicans to balance the legislature back out?
If they were as tiny minded and reactionary as you, I guess so ;)
TBH, I seriously considered going strapped to the protest today. But I think I’d rather be a martyr than be the guy who shot someone at the protest even if it was to defend myself and my fellow protestors. At least that’s my thinking now while violence is unlikely in my town. If violence gets more prevalent and more expected, I might change my mind.
That was my exact thinking this morning as well. My state allows concealed carry without a permit, so I could legally go with my carry… but I thought better of it. I didn’t expect any violence where I’m at, and it just seemed like it wasn’t worth the risk, being the cause of more harm than good. It kinda went against the spirit of this protest imo, so I left it at home
Fuck it, I’m not that scared of dying that I gotta go strapped everywhere to feel safe. There’s a time and place for carrying, and the protest wasn’t one of them for me
I’m proud of you for thinking critically, we need more of that in the world. Thank you hoppy spider guy.
I respect the thought you put into it, and it sounds like the right choice, for the time being at least. Hopefully it stays that way…
The troubles started similarly from a politically motivated assassination by the UVF, from someone imitating a police officer. Alongside violent responses from authority during peaceful civil rights marches and the deployment of the British army.
If a civil war starts, you likely won’t know you’re in one until much later.
We’re in one. It already started.
Like I said, I sure hope I don’t have to. But I will arm myself if things get to that point. This does remind me that I should go to the range and practice more.

Good for you!!! It’s a pity that the shitheads harass you though.

I support your right to put them 6feet under if they take it beyond verbal. But be careful, they can lie and get you targeted by the police. But I’m sure you’re ready to deal with that.

In case no one told you over and over, the piece is innuendo for penis
Best be careful doing that. Flashing your gun is called brandishing and is illegal in most cases. You only show your gun when you are ready to fire it.
Yeah, flashing your piece at them does indeed strike me as a tad gay ;-)

Same. I’ve actually turned down closeted Republican men who didn’t hesitate to tell me that they essentially wanted me to be their stay at home girlfriend… As a grown ass man. Fuck all that.

That’s brandishing and it’s going to get you arrested
People are getting kidnapped off the street. Use the strap on whoever tries to “arrest” you

It’s always the magas inciting violence. Rushing to violence is a side effect of ignorance.
If you’re looking for a civil war, you’d be a fool to think the Magas aren’t better prepared for base violence.
I personally man handled service members as a security guard in a military port town. I know where I stand. They can be as violent as possible. I can get even more crazier. And at that point. I break out the instant kill moves a dead SEAL friend taught me as my last resorts.
It’s on the news in Belgium.
I’m curious, how are they reporting it?
Headline translated: in the US state of Minnesota, police are on the hunt for the 57 year old shooter who shot 2 Democratic politicians and their spouse in their homes. Two victims have died. The attacs seem politically motivated. A list of names of politicians was found in the suspects car.
This is from a national news site. I haven’t seen their television news of today yet but usually their television news and the site story are identical.
I’m not saying the news reporting here is not colored a bit, but it tends to be non sensationalist so there is that.
Greetings from Antwerp. Our results are in…
This isn’t just assassination, it’s terrorism designed to scare opponents of Trump from speaking out. The media won’t say that, of course, because it’s likely the shooter is white.
The shootings are the latest in a string of seemingly lone-wolf politically motivated violence.
Good grief, could they whitewash this any harder?
It’s also done on no kings day so we all know what the headline will be. Doesn’t seem like a coincidence on reflection.
They even canceled the Minnesota No Kings over this shit
The Minnesota No Kings rally was NOT cancelled because of this. There were thousands of people at the Capitol
It was planned to be a distraction so news coverage wouldn’t focus on all the protests today. Can’t show bigger crowds in rural America than whatever few bootlickers showed up to watch Trump’s birthday parade.
Exactly that. Also, don’t forget that every chance they get they say “a man posing as a police officer” and they then describe that he was dressed exactly like a cop including a badge and cop car
Media frenzy for this event will make a great distraction from the cancellation of the shit show military parade / ego stroke.
Otherwise they may actually have to cover those nationwide protests with millions of attendees planned. Their corporate masters wouldn’t like that.
A little too convenient.
State law enforcement here in Minnesota has told protesters not to come. All politicians who were scheduled to speak will not be showing up.
Wanna bet that a curfew is next?
Honestly this is scarier than something bad happening in either of those two other events. But I agree… as they say “the revolution will not be televised”
It is wild right-wingers are trying to paint the killer as left wing. Trump cultist prove they can’t comprehend anything. RIP to both of the victims.
I mean…according to this, both primary suspect shooter & his wife were directly appointed by Tim Walz. You don’t get too much further left than Tim Walz.
I want to know how they were working for Tim Walz, deeply associated with left wing, but not left wing themselves. It does happen, sometimes, I’m open to discussion.
Ah yes. The “liberal hivemind” Youtube channel. A reputable source of information and news.

Tell me why I shouldn’t think it was an actual police officer that assassinated them ?
I heard that he even was in a police car. He had a badge and taser and vest etc… it really does feel like it actually is a police officer
He ran a security business.
Ah yes, rent a cop
A reporter who saw the vehicle said that it would look like a police vehicle from a distance and at night, but during the day it looked off, like you’d think ‘that might not be a real cop’.
And they’ve identified the suspect and he’s not a cop.
A blues brother?
Was probably on a mission from god.
Sort of…
I.R.S. tax forms show that Mr. Boelter and his wife once led a Christian nonprofit called Revoformation Ministries. An archived version of the group’s website described Mr. Boelter as becoming an ordained minister in 1993.
Supply Side Jesus isn’t real no matter how hard they believe their magat church pastor.
That’s why the Blue’s Brothers weren’t in it directly for the money. They just needed to save the ophanage.
“suspect” fall guy for the cop.
New information shows it was a security company run by evangelicals that he worked for. So his vehicle likely was intentionally looking like police. Could even have lights on top. And they could wear uniforms, carry most anything a cop can, the badge would be different, but at 2am…
Mr. Boelter and his wife run a private security company in Minnesota, according to its website. The company, Praetorian Guard Security Services, lists Mr. Boelter as the director of security patrols and his wife as the president. The firm’s website describes using Ford Explorer S.U.V.s, “the same make and model of vehicles that many police departments use.”

Praetorian Guard Security Services
Of course that’s the name of their company.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Wonder how the moron in charge is going to not condemn this.
Look at what Antifa did!
They are already blaming democrats.
You know what’s fucked up is that I don’t even have to look. I can tell you right now that the victims in this crime are part of the Democratic party. You know how I know? Because the FBI director and the president are talking about prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law and how violence in America will never be acceptable.
But if it was the other way around and a Democrat went nuts and killed a Republican senator Donald Trump would be on truth social calling for that person to be hung or stretched or quartered or whatever it is they did to people in the middle ages.

But if it was the other way around … Donald Trump would be on truth social calling for that person to be hung…
Not just that, but he would be demonizing the whole Democrat party, saying how their dangerous rhetoric caused this and the party needs to be outlawed and its leaders arrested.
It’s the democratIC party.
This right here — as the if the Republican Party has done nothing to inspire violence
Edit for clarity
Just look at what they’re doing to our boy Luigi
Even worse, I’m sure when they catch this guy, trump is going to pardon him.
Trump cannot pardon state crimes. Murder is a state crime, not federal.
My assumption is that if Luigi is getting charged at the federal level for killing one random, rich white guy, this person who has killed two politicians and has a hit list for others, would be charged at the federal level for terrorism. At least I’d expect that in a normal, functional society, which we’re not.
18 US Code 1751 says that assassination of political officials can be tried in federal court
“They will be prosecuting anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law,” Trump said in a statement. “Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America.”
Ah, like they did with the violent perpetrators of the January 6th insurrection, until you pardoned them all and set them free.
Wonder if the perp will turn out to be a pardoned j6er…
It’s kind of crazy that one of my thoughts was that I hope this gets tried as a state case so Trump can’t pardon them.
Reporting in from Minnesota: State law enforcement is now telling everybody “Do not show up to No Kings Day Events”
I went to my local one (not in MN) after reading this news, and I brought my pistol.
Fuck that. It’s ok to be scared, but try to fight back.
Sen. Walz posted on Bluesky for people to not go to protests and there were 400 comments of mostly people saying they were going anyways. Was nice to see.
Some people will get busted up and arrested if not worse. We’d all be safe and sound just sitting at home, watching TV and flipping through tiktok, for some time, until we can’t breathe, we’re forced out of our homes because we can’t afford them or we’re in the way of a golf course, we lose our kids because we told them a man can love another man, we can’t go anywhere because every road is busted or costs money to use, our profession becomes non-existent from AI doing everything, and we die of cancer because health insurance is “our own responsibility” as is navigating insurance bureaucracy.
Yeah, a nice sitcom would hit the spot.
Walz is governor. His statement is intentional. He needs to be seen as “giving good advice”.
He knows it won’t stop anyone. Just like during the George Floyd protests. He knows what he’s doing.
Thank you for this comment. I live in Minnesota and expect that if they believe there’s a safety concern this is what they should be saying.
Of course we’re still going to go but it’s only right for our representatives to make sure we, as Minnesotans, can make that decision with full understanding of the safety risks.
Trump is a larger safety concern than any single gunman. They should frame it in that context imo.
Proud of you Minnesota

Thousands went anyway
As they fucking should.
You don’t need permission to protest. If they try to stop you, protest harder and escalate accordingly
Also, since the article doesn’t mention it, deliberately of course, they were both Democrats. One was the speaker of the house.
It kind of goes without saying tbh.
They did mention it though?
Wasn’t in the original article, glad it was added.
Probably a fast developing story.
“impersonating” a police officer. Yup, on the largest protest day ever. No need to think more about it. Surely it wouldn’t be an actual cop using a scapegoat, nope .
If we don’t know who did it, how do we know it was impersonation??
He was only dressed fully as a cop with full gear and had a car that looked like a cop car with lights and all.
Clearly an ANTIFA shenanigan /s
Well they found the vehicle and it was a non-police vehicle disguised as police. So while this doesn’t 100% rule out it being police, it seems a reasonable inference.
Suuuuuure. And next you will tell me no authoritarian government uses fake emergency vehicles.
Police say suspect dressed as law enforcement and shot at responding officers before escaping
I’m just gonna say. Might the suspect have been a police officer? I wouldn’t trust the police to disclose that.
I mean if they are wearing a uniform and emerged from a cop car as eyewitness accounts suggest…
The gunman was still at large, law enforcement said on Saturday, and the city of Brooklyn Park was still under a shelter-in-place order. The shooter was impersonating a police officer, dressed in a uniform that would appear to be real to most people, police said.
“They did drive a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad car,” Brooklyn Park’s police chief, Mark Bruley, said at a press conference. “It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with Taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer.”
Hmmmmmmmm
maintain the same energy as the Luigi situation 💜
I’d bet anything the police and media response to this is and will be orders of magnitude less than when that healthcare guy got clapped.
Or even just in comparison to the “violent ice protests”
Nationally maybe, but not in Minnesota.
My very first thought was about Luigi and thinking if this guy is found alive he likely won’t have any serious response. It seems they have a suspect but the dude was clearly wearing a mask so idk how they determined that
Pretty sure they were throwing “assassinated” in the headlines very early on there where this is just a “shooting” even though Tim Walz has already declared it a politically motivated assassination.
Insurance guy. The healthcare is what he was denying.
Well said…
The fact we have to clarify this distinction…
