MN Legislator Murdered

[Waterboy]

Evidently the two targets of the assassin voted with Republicans to end free healthcare for illegals?   This may make it justifiable for some on this board.  

I’m not sure what political affiliation this idiot is, but I pray to God they find him and stop further tragedy.   It’s a scary enough world we live in today.

The only way to get a budget deal passed this special session was for Hortman to cross party lines and vote for the removal of care for "undocumented" adults.

Otherwise the vote was split across party lines. It obviously pained her personally to do that.

Truth is, none of us know(yet) if that was even the main driver of the perp's actions. I dont think this is an instance of the Dems eating one of their own as some conspirators are pushing as real.

Time will tell...

Our reality (for now) is that there were almost 70 names in the perps manifesto, including abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates, and lawmakers in various states, CNN reported. 

The suspects’ list targets prominent abortion rights supporters in Minnesota, according to an official who has seen the list. That includes many Democratic lawmakers who have been outspoken about supporting abortion rights policy positions.

Regardless of the perps political affiliation, sadly its just a continuation of the violent political history in the US.

Thoughts/Prayers to the victims and families/loved ones.

I’m glad they did that.  People are legitimately insane.

Nothing yet. They said they were searching a cornfield. The corn can’t be 6” tall yet so I have no idea how hard a cornfield search could be.

I’m sure you feel his actions were warranted. After all his victim voted to deny thousands of people health care with her vote.

How are the two situations all that different?  For somebody who wants to see it a certain way, both the CEO of the Insurance company and the legislator who decided to cut off health care for illegals cut off health care access for 1,000’s of people.  I think both views are stupid, but they’re not inconsistent.  Maybe people should think twice before making provocative statements that aren’t well reasoned.

So maybe that means you should check yourself since you repeatedly pop off with provocative statements.  


2 people are dead and it's tragic. 2 people survived. This situation is absolutely heartbreaking. Using human beings as target practice is completely and utterly unacceptable. I hope they throw the book at the shooter
