Fry the coward. Then drag the carcass through the streets and let nature take its course.

MAGA'ts want violence? Bring it on snowflakes.

No crying when your side takes damage.

Trump's got his Pardon Pen all ready!

I mean, he's going to need more like this guy when it's time to show the other Democrats what's what.

Can't wait for all the reporting on the materials in this guy's car.

And how quickly MAGA turns from "HeS a LiBrUlZ!!" to "FlAsE FlAgZ PtAsY!!!"

Because you know the last thing they'll do is think "hmmmm maybe we need to dial back the rhetoric a little bit."

I love her form! It would make a great video if she actually fired that thing. Not that it was loaded, of course.

The feds laid out the federal charges they will seek earlier and - surprise, surprise - no terrorism charge and so far at least, no death penalty.

He's a white conservative.

He's going to set up a gofundme account and get millions in donations from fellow trumpers.

I'm sure our very own deplorable Trumping MAGAts will donate.

It's very lucrative to murder people in America, just ask Rittenhouse.

That didn't stop Trump from pardoning Jaime Davidson, a gang member and drug dealer who was convicted for the murder of Syracuse NY police officer Wallie Howard. Davidson was convicted by both the feds and NY state but Trump still commuted his sentence. After his release he was convicted of battery for beating his wife.

How Far-Right Conspiracy Theories About the Minnesota Shooting Evolved to Protect MAGA

This could have been a lot worse. He went by another politician's house. She wasn't home, drove to the next on his list, there was a police presence there doing a wellness check. They tried to talk to him and he just sat staring straight ahead, then he drove away. There might have been a third house with nobody home before going on the Melissa Hortman's house. That explains the time lapse between shootings.

#22 That has been fact checked to death, to a bi-partisan committee of about 60, first appointed by previous Gov Mark Dayton. Go find a new talking point.

It's an irrelevant mini-fact from an irrelevant mini-poster.

Every piece of evidence shows his political affiliation.

@#22 ... He's a Walz appointee. That is a fact....

And your point is?

From what I've seen, including an interview with his roommate, he currently was a Trump supporter and voter. The roommate also stated that he (the roommate) was also a Trump supporter and voter).

So, Gov Walz may have at one time in the past appointed him to a position, how long ago was that appointment, and how have Mr Boelter's political opinions and views changed since that appointment?

2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators
en.wikipedia.org

... In 2016, he was appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Board, a 60-member unpaid advisory board by then-Governor of Minnesota Mark Dayton, and re-appointed for a four-year term in 2019 by the governor, Tim Walz.[33] ...

Hope they don't have to release him because he is still covered under a Biden (auto-pen) blanket pardon.
