    Are these not terroristic threats?

    Today's update...

    Being misinformed, misguided, or manipulated is entirely preventable. Just wait a few hours or a day or so.



    2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators - Wikipedia


    Motive
    [​IMG]
    A CCTV still released by the FBI of the suspect at the Hoffman residence
    Law enforcement believe the assassinations were politically motivated and are investigating whether the shooter was motivated by anti-abortion views.[1] Boelter was registered to vote as a Republican in the early 2000s, though on a state document in 2019 he wrote that he had "no party preference".[37] A friend of Boelter's said after the attacks that Boelter was "a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights".[37][38] In a pair of 2023 sermons, he preached against abortion rights and LGBTQ people.[30][39]

    The vehicle left in the driveway of the Hortman home contained a manifesto[8] and a list of about 70 potential targets,[40] including "abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, and lawmakers in Minnesota and other states".[37] Hortman and Hoffman's names appeared on the list[41] alongside Walz, United States representative Ilhan Omar, United States senators Amy Klobuchar[42] and Tina Smith, and Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison.[43]

    On the day of the shooting, Boelter sent friends a text, writing, "I love you guys. I’ve made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while. I may be dead shortly."[44] The police found AK-style firearms in his vehicle; the police later stated that he is believed to be armed only with a pistol.[45] Officers discovered a stack of flyers in his car for "No Kings" anti-Trump protests that were taking place on the day of the shooting.[46][47]

    Try growing up in a Republican Pentacostal household LOL.....................I used to chuckle when our Pastor would say its Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve..................my mother would give me the "I`m fixin to beat your ass" look when I would chuckle out loud each time he said it.

    I have seen to many extremes in religion, where they preach one thing and then years later you find out THEY were a pedo or something...............luckily, I found my way to a Church where they actually preach love to EVERYONE, even to Adam and Steve

    This is the face of what the vile dip$hit administration and the heartless bastards who support and enable him have become...

    Word on the street is that dip$hit administration members and ICE officers will be required to wear that mask henceforth...

    Yes , wait before leaping to judgement .

    On that note @ROXRAN , given what you've been saying about the no-kings protestors and the flyers in his car ... Do you think that it's possible this man was looking at the protestors as potential targets for his killing vs supporting their ideology . Or maybe he hoped one of his targets would be there .

    Also @ROXRAN go **** yourself

    the hypocrisy is another thing that really opened my eyes

    we’ve got priests and pastors out here raping, molesting, and grooming children and not one peep…How come we don’t see passionate sermons about that?

    I’m being conditioned to hate LGBT people and view them as an abomination, meanwhile, had any gay person every hurt or harm me in any way? No. Had I even been around and gotten to know this group of people? No. It was basically like I should be against them just because adults are telling me to.

    this guy killed 2 people, wounded 2 others, and had 70 people on a hit list…but in his mind, he’s the righteous one

    Sick people get incited by sick and twisted leaders. Trump and Musk fuel this crap on their social media platforms and right wing networks full of their followers. The hard core MAGA politicians do the same. It's a sick mindset.

    Trump and other Republicans mock Democrats after Minnesota lawmaker killings

    While many in the GOP condemned the attacks in Minnesota, others have used it as an opportunity to poke fun at their Democratic opponents, or suggest that they somehow instigated the violence.

    But when it comes to Trump and his most vociferous allies on social media, the message is more mixed. Trump initially condemned the attacks, saying on Saturday: “Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!”

    But the following day, he struck a different tone, telling ABC News that the shooting was “a terrible thing” but calling Walz “a terrible governor” and “a grossly incompetent person”.

    Utah Senator Mike Lee pisted on his personal X account, "This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” along with a photo of the alleged gunman, who was arrested on Sunday. He followed that up by posting the photo and writing “Nightmare on Waltz Street”, an apparent misspelling of Tim Walz.

    Elon Musk shared a tweet from a pro-Trump account that read, in part: “The left has become a full blown domestic terrorist organization.”

    “The far left is murderously violent” Musk wrote in his reply, which Lee shared, adding: “Fact check: TRUE”.

    Laura Loomer, the rightwing extremist who is said to have played a role in encouraging Trump to fire national security officials, alleged the suspect had ties to the “No Kings” protests that took place nationwide on Saturday, and that Walz knew him.

    But the shooter WAS a registered Republican and Trump voter. We're seeing never ending violence from the MAGA cult as they seem more emboldened. It matters that we correctly diagnose the problem.

    Let's stop this bogus "both sides" bs. One side is literally shooting up people

    Gotta love the MAGA losers like @Commodore and @tallanvor to come and spread nonsense and immediately flee the thread when the shooter was hardcore MAGA.

    Man, I have banned tons of old friends from my hometown east of Houston on FB, they are conspiracy MAGAts now, can't deal in facts, I haven't seen em in 20 or so years, so my life is fine without them in it.....I don't need anyone not willing to critically think.

    You know why the executive branch is stopping all of Trump's EO's? It isn't because they are weaponized it is because he is doing illegal stuff.

    Yes they did, and it's a sick mindset. There were a little group of guys on here who joined in on that sick crap, reposting stuff laughing about it all. It's those twisted dudes I put on ignore. They have no human empathy for anyone hurt, beaten or shot, as long as Trump calls them the enemy. My God, political views that extreme are scary. Nobody should laugh or mock people attacked, shot, or plowed down by some nutjob who takes politics to the extreme.
