“Evangelical Terrorist targets minnisota politicians for assassination, 2 dead, 2 wounded”
They should revoke the church’s tax exemption for radicalizing this guy
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.
So…terrorism.
targeted political violence.
Terrorism. Call it what it is.
It seems they have updated the title to say assassination.
Can’t seem to find the ‘reply’ button on any comments in any threads anymore, they musta changed something… so I gotta create a top level comment now to reply.
“So, just like the 9/11 hijacking changes everything about how people respond to a hijacking event, this changes everything about answering your door. You see someone dressed as a cop at your door, you don’t answer the door. You call 911, then have then identify the name and badge number of the cop at your door and you don’t answer the door until 911 acknowledges its a real cop at the door.”
IDK about you but after you don’t answer the door, I wouldn’t be calling 911, I’d be playing possum with a fucking loaded gun waiting to go off if the front door opens or waiting for them to leave. The guy didn’t say he had a warrant, and if the police have a warrant just one cop isn’t going to be there, it’ll be a Pride of LEOs.
Democratic leaders should have bodyguard details that they have personally chosen outside of the Federal framework. The violence will keep escalating, both stochaostic and direct.
In this political environment yes… but generally no public figure (including the president) should need a security detail
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?
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.”
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.
Oh the irony
Do we need to mention that they were both democratic politicians? Many of us would love to see the list of the others he was going to kill. I’m sort of thinking they were all Democrats.
The article said his hit list included about 70 targets, ALL Democrats.
This morning’s update identified him as a part-time pastor and a part-time military contractor. Sure sounds like a raging conservative to me.
it was, there was a list being mentioned on a subreddit, it includes tim walz, and others, plus abortion workers.

if they were a Republican it would be screamed everywhere about how liberals are using violence
I think it was the Pro Left that had a recent podcast about how the Democrats are set up as the balancing force that is always put into the position of an abused housewife that must mollify the crazy alcoholic husband, which is the Republicans.
Pretty apt metaphor, and I’m not doing it justice, but it’s pretty much considered “normal” for Republicans to do and say nearly anything, and then everyone blames the Democrats for making the Republicans do what they do…it’s all DARVO.
Apparently, they’re still screaming about how liberals are using violence. Nucking futz.
“LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!”
Yeah, the tone I am seeing in conservative spaces about this has shifting to the gunman being a CIA operative to smeer conservatives.
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.
Meanwhile, Fox News and CNN are creaming themselves over Israel and Iran.
Fox “Israel under attack”
CNN “Israel reels from deadly Iranian missile strikes”
and his failure of a birthday parade too. plus trying to make the public forget about the BBB and tariffs sitll.
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
Time for real Americans to start dealing with the traitors in and out of our government.
If you’re going to throw your life away, why state reps?
Cause real change happens at the local level… super fucked that it happened in this way. Its insane the amount of changes lone wolf terrorists can cause with guns and we are so far gone as a country we dont even talk about common sense gun law, because we are so fucking desensitized to the onslaught of terror. I hate it here.
The details of this story are horrifying. The assassin went to the houses of two different lawmakers in the middle of the night (2am). Dressed as a cop.
In the dark, the people in each house had no reasonable way to know that the person ringing their doorbell at 2am was not a cop. Presumably he shot whoever came to the door then entered the house and shot the other spouse.
There’s no way the people who were shot could have reasonably prevented being killed
So, just like the 9/11 hijacking changes everything about how people respond to a hijacking event, this changes everything about answering your door. You see someone dressed as a cop at your door, you don’t answer the door. You call 911, then have then identify the name and badge number of the cop at your door and you don’t answer the door until 911 acknowledges its a real cop at the door.
Don’t answer anyway, if they have a warrent they will come in regardless.
They come in without one all the time, and just get a bit of PTO for it, courtesy of we the people.
when can we start shooting back?
Now would be a good time. The longer fascism festers the harder it is to get rid of.
I live in a “stand your ground” state. I’m not answering the door for police in the middle of the night. And if they break in, I’m opening fire. That’s the lessen I’ve learned from this madness. ACAB is and always will be.
Republican pearl clutching in 3…2…1…
