Crime Two Minnesota Lawmakers Shot

[KAZSoliloquy]

It's clearly terrorism, bruv.

There's a school of thought that only brown people commit terrorism, but there's plenty of white terrorists out there, this guy being one.

again, i just woke up and don't know much about what happened. but it sounds like political assassinations. i wouldn't call that terrorism personally.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

its a politically motivated shooting and the suspect is still on the run
the dude had a manifesto
I think calling it domestic terrorism is completely fair

you guys have to relearn what the word "terrorism" means man.

It totally looks like terrorism. I don't see how you think it's not applicable.
using violence for political means, with clearly delineated political purposes.

"the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

yeah that tracks with this story

maybe actually learn what is going on first then comment

I still can’t wrap my head around why it’s controversial to not want to give taxpayer money to non citizens or to remove people who entered the country illegally.

I think you are in the wrong thread, bud

I mean, possibly but she just voted against giving non citizens taxpayer funded healthcare and then is murdered right after. Seems related

I'd even look the other way and let Poicy forget to sponge his head.

Give him a mouse to keep as a pet and assure him that Mr. Jingles will be taken care of and go to a mouse circus. King sure can spin a tale.

Did the org publicly agitate against the law? Do we have public statements by the shooter mentioning the law?

So you think he planned all this after the vote? Did the other lawmaker vote the same way? What investigation indication is there that the vote was the motivation?

Doesn't mention anything about illegals though, does this org specialize in services for illegals or just African immigrants generally?

You really think she was shot for that vote? Not saying is impossible but seems like a reach at this point.

They said these two victims were in close proximity. The Hoffman guy was known as being very bipartisan, working with republicans. Makes sense with a list of 70 people that you would get two in close proximity.

This is in the organizations webpage as their mission. Talks about closing the oppertunity gaps to getting healthcare.

Mission: Minnesota Africans United (MAU) is serving as the coalition of African immigrants in Minnesota that is centered on closing the opportunity gaps in agriculture, business development, education, employment, healthcare, housing, investment, and trade with the mission of creating awareness and increasing access to resources for African communities.

No specific official of the bill, from what I saw. Just a hunch tho based on what has been presented. Mayhaps I am wrong. I mean his list apparently did have pro lifers and abortion providers, which is a bit of a head scratcher

Regardless, I hope gov Walz puts out a harsh statement and really lets this guy know he is a big jerk and knucklehead

this guy wanted to kill democrat politicians and he killed democrat politicians. he didn't bomb a bunch of civilians or something.

Its not, and its weird you came into this thread to only comment on that

It’s certainly politically motivated. Pretty scary stuff. The media has so much blood on their hands for radicalizing people.

At that point why not target a Republican? Seems like even Tim Walz was on the list so seems like he targeted Democrats.

I read that, mentions nothing about the undocumented or illegals so I think the connection to the vote is tenuous.

No specific official of the bill, from what I saw. Just a hunch tho based on what has been presented. Mayhaps I am wrong. I mean his list apparently did have pro lifers and abortion providers, which is a bit of a head scratcher

Seems like a huge reach to me but anythings possible at this point.

none of this really matters in the grand scheme of things. i just hate when people call everything terrorism.

Definitely political. Just not sure if he had a list of personal grievances or if he was casting a wide net for targets. Just glad he got intercepted early into his plans. Hope they find him soon.
