Thanks for the on the ground report.

It’s more trustworthy than the news.

My bet is solidly on a blue-on-blue crime.

Agreed.

Could be Dems angry at imperfection.

But the way things are since Trump, it could very well be “conservative” action.

Fox News now reporting a Minnesota law maker and his wife were killed.

May they RIP.

How tragic.

“”It’s more trustworthy than the news.”””

You got that right. Especially here in Minneapolistan. Remember after Saint Floyd died of an overdose they said the city was burning...PEACEFULLY.

Personally, I don’t even have enough information to approve or disapprove. But I lean towards the latter as my default position.

We have zero information as to the shooter’s motive.

He left a manifesto in his fake cop car. It included a list of lawmakers he intended to shoot.

At least they wanted an assault weapons ban...that should have given them a lot points in their party.

By the way, from what I’ve heard so far, there is profound police bungling involved.7

They drove a lookalike police car. Dressed like police officer

Which tells me it was not a lone wolf thing.

Someone was behind this and it was well planned and carried out.
