I was thinking the same thing. Target the most conservative Ds, shoot them, blame the other side. But again, just a thought. need to wait for the full story. If they caught someone and do not release his/her/”theys” names or delay releasing we have an answer as to who they are!

It’s just gotten more acceptable by the left and is happening more often. Even clowns like Booker, Skyhook Hakeem, Moms Mabley Waters and Chunky Schumers are talking about killing white and Christian Americans. It won’t be long before anyone in a MAGA hat will be lynched in public. Swatting and doxxing by far left political slobs isn’t helping either.

the recent update from Minnesota polices referenced “individuals”.....also told people not to attend the No Kings rally, though they said those rally’s were NOT mentioned in the manifesto.

Amazing. As I told a friend online who is a Dem: 'I see we agree more on issues than we disagree on. We should talk to each other with the immature name-calling.'

He agreed. We were discussing 4 things: 1) Immigration, 2) Trans athletes, 3) Taxes and 4) Gun Rights...all of which he agreed with me on. He told me that his parents were Democrats.

He might switch...

Considering it was two democrats who recently sided with republicans on this bill, I’d say it’s lefties.

More info…

‘We’re here today because an unspeakable tragedy has unfolded,’ Walz said. ‘State Representative Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, was assassinated, and her husband Mark was also killed.’

State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times at their Champlin home. Both underwent surgery and remain in critical condition, Walz said.

Local police, sheriff’s deputies, and the FBI have launched a frantic manhunt but the shooters remain at large.

At a Saturday morning press conference, officials said neither of the gunmen are in custody, but several ‘people of interest’ have been brought in for questioning.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said the suspect’s vehicle contained a ‘manifesto’ and a list of targets, including both lawmakers, according to The New York Times.

The first shooting occurred just after 2am at Hoffman’s home in Champlin, about 20 miles from Minneapolis. Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times, KSTP reported.

The second attack took place at around 4am at Hortman’s Brooklyn Park residence, eight miles south.

After that shooting, police engaged one of the suspects in a gunfight on the street, officials said.

Drew Evans, head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, confirmed that the suspect escaped during the exchange and is still on the run.

Well, isn’t that handy.

The perfect excuse for the so-called protests to be a dud.

I watched a bit of the news conference when Fox broke in...the MN polices said nowhere in the manifesto with the names of the politicians who were being targeted did it say the no kings protests were being targeted....they did say regardless, they recommended no one attend...

This is like the pictures of the classified docs at Mar-a-lago; completely fake but the media will run with it...

Why do you think they will not win?

There are more of us with guns. We are generally in better shape.

The fact is, ALL states are bright red other than their big urban centers.

Look at Connecticut, most of the states is red or light blue, the dark blue area is urban centers. Same as Maine ..
