How is this not bigger news?
I’m going to call the soon to be obvious ‘gunman shot by police/himself or hung himself with his hands tied behind his back’. Nothing more to see here.
Gunman identified when he showed his drivers license to a McDonald’s cashier, a completely normal and everyday occurrence that happens all the time to poor people and no we aren’t making this up, why do you ask?
Time for real Americans to start dealing with the traitors in and out of our government.
Wonder how the moron in charge is going to not condemn this.
They are already blaming democrats.
Look at what Antifa did!
How convenient. House is a 67-67 D and R. State Senate 34 D 33 R. Not political at all this assassination…

Even the article explicitly says this is politically motivated, this isn’t being presented as random
it was kinda obvious since it was targeting democrats only, and abortion providers.
someone mentioned that in subreddit, yea they want to break that tie, but it would be whoever is control that appoints a special interim though.
Are there actually no safeguards against this? It seems like a pretty big fucking flaw in a democratic system if you can kill the opposing elected officials in order to gain control of the state. Like their votes should temporarily go to someone else in the party or something, not just be wiped out completely.
Why does he look like Ryan Gosling wearing that mask in Drive?
This is big news. Google it.
More info on him: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/us/politics/minnesota-shootings-gunman-suspect.html
Mr. Boelter and his wife run a private security company in Minnesota, according to its website. The company, Praetorian Guard Security Services…
…the gunman had a list that included her name and the names of other lawmakers, all of whom were Democrats. The list included about 70 potential targets, a federal law enforcement official said, including doctors, community and business leaders, and locations for Planned Parenthood and other health care centers. Some of the targets were in neighboring states.
Mr. Boelter, the site said, had traveled previously to violent areas “in the Gaza Strip and West Bank,” the site said, and had “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn’t the answer.”
Oh the irony
Praetorian Guard. A notorious unit of body guard troop who are mostly known for extorting and killing the people they were supposed to be protecting.
What a great name for a body guard company.
Also, since the article doesn’t mention it, deliberately of course, they were both Democrats. One was the speaker of the house.
They did mention it though?
Wasn’t in the original article, glad it was added.
Probably a fast developing story.
It kind of goes without saying tbh.
So…terrorism.
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.

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.
18 US Code 1751 says that assassination of political officials can be tried in federal court
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.
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.
Just look at what they’re doing to our boy Luigi
It’s the democratIC party.
This right here — as the if the Republican Party has done nothing to inspire violence
Edit for clarity
Republican pearl clutching in 3…2…1…
moving the goal post"oh they deserve it, or the shooter was a democrat," or such nonsense.
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.
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
More like your generic antiabortion terrorist
The shootings are the latest in a string of seemingly lone-wolf politically motivated violence.
Good grief, could they whitewash this any harder?
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.
yea they need good sound bytes for fox, oan and newsmax, cant have them protesting news all the time. it makes trump look really bad.
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
the slain lawmaker as State Rep. Melissa Hortman of Brooklyn Park and her husband, Mark, while state Sen. John Hoffman of Champlin and his wife, Yvette, were injured. Both lawmakers were members of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party. […] The assailant, who is still at large, allegedly impersonated a police officer.
My support and sympathy to the families. Absolutely no surprise at any of that news.
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.
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.
The troubles started similarly from a politically motivated assassination by the UVF. 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.
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.
I’m proud of you for thinking critically, we need more of that in the world. Thank you hoppy spider guy.
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 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…
They’re preparing for dooms day… They’re fulfilling their own prophecy. I’m in a red area and I just saw an ad about getting a permit to concealed carry. Guns aren’t allowed here.
It’s been funny when they’ve come up to me calling me the f word because I’m clearly queer and then I flash my piece at them and they get white in the face and back the fuck off me real quick
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.
Good for you!!! It’s a pity that the shitheads harass you though.
Yeah it’s not really a great experience to go through
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.
Yeah for sure, I’m well versed with the laws so I can cover my ass in anything and always show way more restraint than I probably need to but yeah I prefer to keep it more on the dl that I’m carrying just to keep the pigs off me
Keywords.
Flash my piece - white in the face - fuck - real quick
Yes I’ve been informed of the joke like five times now, I’m glad you can keep finding the humor in homophobes harassing me to the point that I have to show them the gun I have in my waistband since I have to be so fucking specific
In case no one told you over and over, the piece is innuendo for penis
Yeah, flashing your piece at them does indeed strike me as a tad gay ;-)
lol nice. In all seriousness though, magats are always disgusting human beings who are very ugly inside and outside so they’d never get my dick
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.
Yeah they’re fucking pathetic humans who just can’t embrace who they are and seem to think we’re even remotely fucking attracted to them
What piece are you talking about? Statement makes sense either way.
Use context clues
Maybe they’re worried you’ll club them to death with your massive penis
Yah, we’re on the interweb. For all I know he could be Drath’nor.
Yeah that could be but I’m assuming it’s the Glock that’s next to it that sends them running
That’s brandishing and it’s going to get you arrested
It’s brandishing if I’m instigating, which is not the case, but not so much when I’m being approached in a threatening manner being called slurs and I’m at a point of self defense
Just be careful,.don’t want you to get hurt
Appreciate it, yeah I practice as much restraint as I can and never do anything outside a defensive standpoint. I already wasn’t a fan of having society come to this point where I felt I need one but unfortunately here we are but I think that has made me make sure to be responsible about it since my intentions are defensive
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.
Impersonating a police officer or a disgruntled police officer. Irregardless, the uniform alone will get one close to the target. The USA is a sick country and the fucks in MAGA will make it worse.
It’s super illegal to impersonate police too
