Two MN Dem Pols + Spouses Shot in Targeted Shooting

[Desk trauma]

Indeed, as I've said, there are nuts on both sides of the political spectrum. The hate speech is heavy in Minnesota, particularly with Walz. We don't know who the shooter is, but it's a good guess this was politically motivated. The violent rhetoric against conservatives resulted in the opposite effect.

Look what you made me do!

Not just for domestic violence anymore.

Obviously you follow and thereby support the far right more than. Most Republicans

How does a group organize, advertise, develop signs and organizers nation wide in less than two weeks?

No kings? Yeah, it isn’t nationally funded and certainly organic.

So, no pro forma decrying of political violence that you demand from others? Just a diversion, deflection and weird point about national funding?

I regret posting the twitter screenshot since it took the focus away from the victims and this assassination. But it is indicative of where we are now with politicization. For some it's about "It's the other guy's fault and they had it coming."

I am not justifying the actions of crazies, I am saying the hate-speech, the violent rhetoric, and again Walz is a good example, is going to push people who are mentally on the edge into action.

I hope they find this guy and soon, before he hurts anyone else.

$20 says it's a cop or other LE.

Yep, look what they made them do.

a "police car" was left at the second (fatal) shooting site and the suspect was seen in what appeared to be a cop uniform. The shooter either is a cop, or went to elaborate lengths to impersonate one (detailing a car, getting the uniform gear). We will learn which when the manhunt ends.

Perhaps this is a good example of the difference between conservatism, common sense, and liberalism. Common sense observes that there are consequences to actions. Liberals in California say theft under $1000 should not be prosecuted, and then ponder why stores are being looted. In this case realize there are mentally unstable people in our country who need help, and instead are egged on by the media, with sometimes dire consequences. CBS has been promoting the Kings Day instead of reporting about it, the media and the politicians need to pull back. The media should not be promoting violence or hatred against those with different political views.

Always able to get all the talking points in.

So how does this common sense apply to the OP?

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota has legalized marijuana and then ponders why its members are being assassinated?

Sad situation. Even more depressing what some of the replies to this thread reveal about where we are as a country.

UPDATE: Suspect is reportedly Vance Luther Boelter, appointed by Governor Tim Walz to a state workforce board in 2019. Former appointee of Tim Walz sought in deadly shootings of Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, had ‘No Kings’ fliers in car: sources

I knew it.

...But I wonder, was it because they were too far left, or not left enough? Or perhaps the wrong kind of left altogether.

It is "No Kings". The whole point is that it is a protest of Trump acting like a king. Other than the apparent threat to those events by the timing of this assassination, it is not the topic of this thread.

Why the reactive sarcasm?
As you well know, JosephZ is not a supporter of the "far right".

An apology is due.

....and "No Kings" was planned months ago.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Why are there so many assasinations being done by democrats all of a sudden?

This is getting ridiculous! Will this problem become worse..?

...It's what we should all be wondering.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Yeah, we should really be coming to a point of self-reflection as a country, on why so many bad apples are falling off the tree of the left. Now democrats assasinating other democrats for not being left enough? It's going too far.
