Accused Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter’s most recent job was extracting eyeballs from corpses at a funeral home, according to a pal.

Boelter — a 57-year-old married dad who allegedly murdered Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounded another Minnesota pol and his wife early Saturday — was carrying out his gruesome extraction work as part of an organ donation program, said the friend and sometime roommate David Carlson.

“I knocked on his door, and I said, ‘Hey Vance, are you there?’ ” Carlson recalled of his interaction with the accused killer around 7 p.m. Friday — just hours before Boelter unleashed his carnage.

“He goes, ‘Yeah, I’m in bed, and I’m trying to get some rest for work,'” Carlson said from the home in north Minneapolis where Boelter rented a room from him.

“He’d always said, ‘I need rest for work so I’m sharp’ because he was extracting eyeballs. You gotta be sharp for that,” Carlson said.

Eye caramba. 👀

Okay, this guy is a freak. But the process is called Eye Enucleation. When I worked in Funeral Service, I learned about it, but didn't get certified. My dad donated his eyes.

And yes, it can be done by a Funeral Director, not an Ophthamologist.

OK. I had to do it.

I checked.

How are you in any position to judge what is true and what isn’t? He lived with a roommate, his wife’s address is the daughter’s place in Inver Grove Height, with Green Isle as “previous address”. They were separated.

So sorry for your loss.

Apparently you have ~ 24 hour after someone dies to be able to harvest their corneas and place them in preservation media.

Greasy Pizza Guy Roomie like the worst cut-out of all time. The absolute worst. Drip drip drip and no you can't see my phone.

'Oh yeah he gave me 4 months advance rent the night before...'

Riiiiiight. Where's the follow-up question? Did you know what he was going to do?

Beyond follow-ups, how about asking Greasy WHY was shooter RENTING from YOU when he had a McMansion within commuting distance?

Let's say that part is true -- now ask Greasy WHY was shooter so keen on getting away from his wife to pay your Greasy azz RENT on a ROOM when he had a FREAKING COUNTRY McMANSION within commuting distance?? WHY was he commuting to the Congo? Ripping off ministries? Maybe on the dark down-low?

This goddamn nonsense is exactly the kind of story the Deep State deliberately manipulates to atomize trust in reporting, and the MSM is their #1 accomplice.

Keep US in the dark and covered in shit like a f--king mushroom farm.

Why hasn't a conservative reporter made a beeline to MN and break Greasy's shoes on his obvious contradictions and questions that have deliberately not been asked? Why is PV obsessed with gotcha videos and not utilizing their capable staff to go get the goddamn story? There is a goldmine waiting for a conservative Andy Ngo that is willing to get to the truth.

I’ve heard that they take eyeballs even if you’re not an official donor. Probably other organs, too. How would anyone know one way or another?

If there is any truth to this that could explain him going nuts.

Maybe for medical school purposes?

I will have to ask my son who worked in a funeral home.

I do know they use prosthetics to “prop uo” the face.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Just texted my son. He said:

“No. They don’t do that. They glue the eyelids shut.”
