We have quickly gone through the stages of the typical Democrat's response to the Somali fraud story:

It's not happening. 

It's happening, but not much.

It's happening, but it's a good thing.

Except now, POLITICO's Josh Gerstein has thrown in a new step ... 

Man, why are so many people on the Left so violent? Not to mention ignorant of gun laws? Note, we realize we're being facetious here.

Is he really saying that a Somali would shoot someone for knocking on the door of their public daycare? Even if it is in a home? Not to mention, Minnesota does not have a Stand-Your-Ground law.

These types are no longer worrying about self-restraint or fearing judgment of some kind. They are arrogantly expressing themselves and are ready to go into action in this post Charlie Kirk era. Luigi still gets from a dozen to 200 letters per day, “including many from female admirers, leading his team to request limits on photos”(Independent news site). There is no shortage of sick individuals around.

Blood-thirsty, anti-Constitutional progressives thirst for the death of others. They play a dangerous game.

Josh Gerstein (Harvard College '91) is a senior legal affairs reporter for POLITICO, where he chronicles the increasingly seismic impact of the legal system on American politics and policy. In 2022, Gerstein co-authored POLITICO's award-winning exclusive on the Supreme Court's draft opinion overturning the federal constitutional right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.

A darling for the left radicals. They can say nothing wrong.
