• Two political shootings, an assasination and attempted assasination in

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 14 17:27:40 2025
    This morning, 6/14/2025, two Democratic-Farm-Labor Minnesota state
    legislators were shot at their homes. One assasination was successful;
    the husband was also killed. The other was an attempted assasination of
    the politician and his wife.

    Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were at home in Brooklyn Park when
    they were murdered. Their two children were not killed. She was first
    elected to the House for a term starting in 2005. In the current
    redistricting, she represented district 34B. When DFL had the majority,
    she was Speaker. She was briefly minority leader in the current term
    till March 17. Then there was a tie between seats held by DFL and
    Republicans and was declared DFL Leader.

    State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot but still alive
    after surgery.

    The perpetrator was dressed in what appeared to be a police uniform with
    body armor, badge, and gear.

    And had a police car, or one made to look official. He's probably shed
    the uniform by now, so he can blend into the crowd to get more hits in.

    Well, I can't tell you how to feel about the murders of Melissa Hortman
    and her husband, and the attempted murders of John Hoffman and his wife.
    I was quite upset. I don't care for Americans behaving like they live in
    a shithole country and assasination is the only way to overturn
    government and its policies.

    But let me help you with Mangione. Put yourself in the position of one of
    Brian Thompson's policy members. You surely wouldn't have wanted Thompson
    to die by targeted killing. That's a quick death he didn't deserve. No,
    you'd have wanted him to succumb to trauma or disease and the associated
    stress of trying to obtain pre-approval from member services for the
    treatment or elective surgery he required from customer service that's instructed to deny everything.

    Dying whilst waiting on hold for a supervisor who will never come to the
    phone? That would have been more like it. No, Mangione did a disservice.

    I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this. When Luigi Mangione gunned down a health care CEO, it was met with at best "murder is wrong, but..." excuse-making by the leftist pundit-sphere, if not outright cheering him on
    and calling for jury nullification in his trial.

    So if murder in service to strongly-held political beliefs is understandable

    I wouldn't say Mangione was so much a political killing as either
    revenge for all of the deaths United Health Care had caused or
    protection for potential victims when UHC refuses to cover any
    insurance needs. That said no one should be murdered. As much as I
    despise what the UHC CEO was having his company do that doesn't
    justify him being killed.

    I need a leftist to tell me what I should think and how this is 'different'.


    You'll have to look further than myself as I'm more of a moderate.

    Wow such hatred on display. Amazing that you appear to care so much
    about the legislators. I guess to you some lives are more equal than
    others.

    CNN told me the legislator in question was already terrified for her life--
    but not from conservatives. She was terrified because she'd been receiving death threats non-stop for the previous week from unhinged leftists because
    she voted to deny free taxpayer-paid health care to illegal aliens.

    Isn't that amazing? In 2025 America, a politician who does something so common sense as voting against using the taxpayer dollars of American citizens to provide free health care to illegal alien foreign nationals while those same American citizens have to pay for their own health care on top of it is terrified to do it.

    In California, where illegals already get free cradle-to-grave health care, they quite often have better health benefits than the America citizens who are paying for it. E.g., illegal alien health care includes dental. *I* don't have dental. I had to get (and pay for) separate dental insurance. Plus, I now have to pay for their dental insurance, too.

    How is this not a federal crime? Aiding and abetting the illegal presence of a foreign national is a criminal offense under the U.S. Code. How is giving them a lifetime of free health care on the backs of American citizens not aiding
    and abetting?

    They're still trying to figure out what to say about the fact the
    murderer is a lib.

    Because he's not. He's very consercvative and anti-abortion. Why do you
    think he targeted 2 Dem legislators?

    Laughter! That's why he had a car full of Kings day fliers.

    So he could blend into the crowd. He also had lists of names, like Gov
    Tim Walz, Senator Amy Klobushar, addresses of abortion clinics and others.

    However, a man named David Carlson, who identified himself as
    Boelter’s current roommate, told the Minnesota-based television channel KARE-TV that Boelter voted for Trump in the 2024 election. Carlson said
    Boelter had not discussed politics recently.
    The Minnesota Star Tribune newspaper reported that the police found
    a list purportedly written by Boelter containing the names of “prominent pro-choice individuals in Minnesota, including many Democratic
    lawmakers”. The Tribune also quoted Carlson saying that Boelter “really hated abortion” through the 1990s."

    His abiding obsession seems to have been 'anti-abortion', with which I'm guessing he'd find few sympathizers on the Left.

    I wouldn't say Mangione was so much a political killing as either
    revenge for all of the deaths United Health Care had caused or
    protection for potential victims when UHC refuses to cover any
    insurance needs. That said no one should be murdered. As much as I
    despise what the UHC CEO was having his company do that doesn't
    justify him being killed.

    I need a leftist to tell me what I should think and how this is 'different'. >>

    You'll have to look further than myself as I'm more of a moderate.

    the politician and his wife.

    Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were at home in Brooklyn Park when
    they were murdered. Their two children were not killed. She was first
    elected to the House for a term starting in 2005. In the current
    redistricting, she represented district 34B. When DFL had the majority,
    she was Speaker. She was briefly minority leader in the current term
    till March 17. Then there was a tie between seats held by DFL and
    Republicans and was declared DFL Leader.

    State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot but still alive
    after surgery.

    The perpetrator was dressed in what appeared to be a police uniform with
    body armor, badge, and gear.

    And had a police car, or one made to look official. He's probably shed
    the uniform by now, so he can blend into the crowd to get more hits in.

    Did I misunderstand someone say he was wearing a latex head mask?
