terrorist kills Minnesota lawmaker

[OrangeTsar]

Is this public speech relevant in your armchair assessment of his belief system, or no?

Jimmy Carter was an evangelical Sunday School teacher. What party was he again?

 

[Orangeburst]

State legislators and an intrastate crime. Not sure they would get involved unless the state requested their help

federal hate crime if they tie it to anti abortion

 

[OrangeTsar]

Stop. The guy hasn't even been caught yet.

The partisan crap in this country is going to end us

Don’t be surprised if he is never caught (alive). If he is caught, expect his prison cameras to stop working one night……

What's your point?

I imagine at AtheistForums.com, there are a bunch of posters, following your logic, that conclude that his belief in Christianity is what lead him down the pathway to murder.

Why are they wrong?

Democrat. Certainly a classic liberal ideologically.. Sort of destroys the false narrative that Liberal Democrats aren't Christians by the new, dumbfounded wing of the Republican party that puts Trump's agenda ahead of the country

The Republican Party has long been infested with fake Christians chock full of warmongering/ lack of charity and other faults. But please don’t ever deign to pretend that the Ds have ever put the country ahead of their agenda. It’s hypocritical.

Yes, I am aware of those distinctions. That doesn't change the fact there are literally thousands of documented examples of Trump and his crew lying in front of God and the whole world. In his first term, there are a dozen or so of those loyalists who served him who literally ruined their lives by repeatedly lying for him. The same will happen in this term too. The one constant is that Trump will not be there for them in their holes to lend a hand. Also well documented

Like “curing cancer” and “sharp as a tack”….for starters.

If we find out he was conservative, you gonna flip everything you said and turn it on the right? Or are you gonna slink out?

This is rich

 

[EasternVol]

So the liberal governor appointed a conservative evangelical to state boards TWICE and hired his wife as an intern ?

Has the word bipartisan disappeared from our vocabulary?

 

[KB5252]

Wonder if this guy has committed suicide or something.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

The very fact Tim Walz‘s state police have not released the manifesto tells you everything you need know.
If it was written by a conservative or republican, it would be wall to wall coverage and endless democrat press conferences

They aren’t going to air a manifesto while the guy is on the run with few options. The minute they release it, no matter what his political persuasion is, he’s going to gain sympathy from a small but not insignificant portion of either side and that could complicate efforts to apprehend him.

After the Luigi Mangione debacle, hopefully this was a lesson learned.

 

[KB5252]

In listening to coverage on CNN it sounds like gunfire was exchanged with the suspect. Is it possible he was wounded?

Boelter's best friend and roommate David Carlson told local news outlet KARE11 he is an avid Donald Trump supporter and voted for the Republican candidate.

This says a lot about you.

So when a leftist does it (allegedly), it's OK. When Trump does it (allegedly) it is a Constitutional crisis worthy of endless prosecution.


Got it.

Accused Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter has ties to Middle East and Africa, runs security company​

The Minnesota man being sought in connection with the Saturday morning assassination of a state lawmaker and the shooting of another runs a security company and has ties to the Middle East and Africa, online biographies showed.

Vance Luther Boelter lists himself on LinkedIn as the CEO of the Red Lion Group, which is based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

He also worked with Minnesota Africans United, a statewide organization working with African immigrants in the state, according to a now deleted biography on the group’s web site.

https://nypost.com/2025/06/14/us-ne...iddle-east-and-africa-runs-security-company/#
In 2022, Boelter participated as a keynote speaker in his capacity as CEO of Red Lion Group for a seminar held jointly by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Minnesota Africans United and Global Minnesota, video showed.

Boetler conducted the call from Moanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo and spoke of the Red Lion Group’s ventures in the African nation.

The suspected assassin spoke about plans for several agricultural pilot projects in the DRC that he believed would “create a lot of jobs fast” and “serve as a model” for future investors into the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

He claimed to have business ventures in fishing, farming, media, security, and motorcycle-taxis all within the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“We’re partnering with 400 farmers who are ready to go on a farming project… we’re doing a fishing project that works with like 500 fishermans…that’s off the coast of Rwanda,” Boelter claimed in a quintessential Minnesota accent.

“Another one that we’re looking at doing is a totally women led motorcycle-taxi business, where all the operators are women, and the leadership is women, so we’re excited to get that off the ground,” Boelter stated, according to the video.

Minnesota Africans United told The Post they never hired, paid, or contracted Boetler and he never served in any official or unofficial capacity in the organization.

Boelter listed food service more than security in his work history.

Boetler last registered to vote in 2022 as a Republican.

In a Nov. 5, 2018 post on his profile, Boetler encouraged others to vote in the upcoming presidential election — and expressed his fears for the outcome.

“I am very big on just telling people to be a part of the process and vote your values and be part of this adventure we are all a part of living in the United States of America,” he wrote.

Has the word bipartisan disappeared from our vocabulary?

It seems to have disappeared from political discourse.

Hell, when's the last time congress passed any truly bipartisan bills on anything significant? Bush Jr's 2001 war act(AUMF)? I think it only got one vote against it. Sadly, I think it would still pass today, but it would be heavily contested. Before that, NAFTA?

Most politicians are too conscientious of potential backlash to reach across the isle. The polarization of social media is too strong and immediate.

Do you think lawgator looks at things from a apolitical view?

If he knew this was a Trump supporter then he would've started the thread.

Regardless this type of cold blooded violence can't be tolerated. It was a sinister attack. Which is not often the case, it should be condemned by both sides. It should show the left you should not gin up and encourage these loons.
