MAGA shills to hold emergency late night meeting to coordinate talking points and distraction tactics for the coming week.

No word yet on how quickly Donald Trump plans to pardon any federal charges filed against the terrorist.

https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/vance-boelter-taken-into-custody-minnesota-lawmaker-shootings-sources/

Vance Boelter, the man who authorities believe shot two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses in politically motivated shootings early Saturday morning, is now in custody.

Multiple sources told WCCO on Sunday evening that Boelter, 57, was taken into custody near his home in Green Isle, Sibley County.

Shortly before 10 p.m., the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office posted a picture on social media that appears to show Boelter being taken into custody.

"The face of evil," the sheriff's office wrote. "After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody. Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer."

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home while state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot in their home in Champlin. The Hoffmans are out of surgery and receiving care.

The manhunt for Boelter lasted over 24 hours, as authorities issued shelter-in-place orders for parts of the northwest metro.

"I'm grateful that this nightmare has come to an end with the suspected murderer captured alive so he can be charged, prosecuted, and punished for the horror he has wrought on our state," said Speaker Lisa Demuth (R-Cold Spring) in a statement. "Thank you to the brave men and women of local, state, and federal law enforcement who have worked around the clock to ensure this evil man faces justice."

Officials said Brooklyn Park police arrived at Hortman's home around 3:30 a.m. and found a car that looked like a police SUV with emergency lights on. Boelter then left the home and exchanged gunfire with police officers before fleeing.

In a press conference, officials said he was last seen in Minneapolis, wearing a light-colored cowboy hat and a dark shirt with light pants. Officials said he should be considered "armed and dangerous."

Gov. Tim Walz called Hortman's death a "political assassination" and ordered flags to fly at half staff to honor her and her husband. Hortman, who served as the Speaker Emerita of the Minnesota House, leaves behind two children.

LOL. What a rubbish piece of editorializing this post is.

>>1413609
Trump will pardon anyone with the money to bribe him.

https://files.catbox.moe/0bxlnd.png

>>1413609
Given President Trump's history of pardoning right wing individuals convicted of political violence, going so far as to make it his top priority within hours of being sworn in for his second term, I would say it's a valid consideration.

>>1413612
Have you considered the possibility that he pardoned people who were unjustly prosecuted?

>>1413614
Well let's see... did they break into the capitol building?

They did? And they freely admitted to it and took pictures?

Hm... so they're guilty of the charges?

Interesting...

>>1413616
Wow they took pictures huh

>>1413601 (OP)
>He's being charged with second degree murder
>Second degree murder
How the fuck do you charge someone with a literal hitlist with second degree murder? The bro disguised himself to get close to victims he didn't know. It's literally textbook first degree murder charges.

>>1413626
I think he knew Hoffman at least.
Regardless, yes, that's completely absurd.

>>1413626
Might have had accomplices he's rolling on

>>1413619
They also shit all over the walls and ransacked offices, among other things like threatening cops with weapons.

>>1413601 (OP)

file state charges. tRump should pardon the ear shooter as he had a greatb aim and did his job well, but wait until his last day in office so as not to raise too many hackles

>>1413640
>file state charges
St Floyd killer would face Minnesota state charges if the king with no clothes tried to pardon him

>>1413609
Eh, pardoning terrorists and killers is in the right wing handbook.

Yes. He didn't. Glad we sorted that out.

Have you considered the possibility that you're a dishonest pile of excrement?

Great comeback. You're still a faggot.

>>1413651
Try and keep me out of your sexual fantasies.

>>1413614
>>1413619
Imagine that a crowd of black and gay people stormed the capital on inauguration day because they believed Trump rigged the election, they brought weapons and assaulted police officers in their attempt to stop the exchange of power.

Now imagine that Kamala Harris gives them all full pardons because she says they were right to assume Trump couldn't win an election fairly so storming the capital was totally justified. Now think about how mad you would be that a bunch of fags and troons could cause that much violence but receive pardons simply because the person in power liked them breaking the law in support.

Wow, the demoncrat that was assassinated just happens to be the one guy who broke party lines just three days before. What a coincidence, huh?

>>1413660
>broke party lines
She's speaker of the house. She sets party line. What the fuck is this nonsense cope?

Walz appointee. He's a left winger.

>>1413666
Just because you guys stack the cabinet with zealots doesn't mean normal politicians do

>>1413628
They said they're confident he acted alone; also, he was the guy who actually shot them. Who the fuck would he roll on?

>>1413659
>Imagine that a crowd of black and gay people stormed the capital on inauguration day
They charged people who weren't even at the riots and held them in gulag-tier conditions so bad that even democrats said were inhumane. They even denied one guy his cancer medication. And that was after holding them for years without a trial.

You fags are keen to shit your pants when a politician is threatened/killed, but none of you care about ordinary people being hurt, evidently.

>>1413676
Awwww, is the widdle guy lying and angry that she's being called on on obvious lies?
maybe the widdle faggot needs to cope and seethe about how wrong they are

Sure

https://nypost.com/2022/11/22/jan-6-defendant-christopher-worrell-reportedly-denied-cancer-treatment-in-prison/
>A January 6 defendant was reportedly denied cancer treatment for eight months while in prison on charges related to the riot at the US Capitol.
>Christopher Worrell was indicted on six federal charges by the Department of Justice, including allegedly using pepper spray to assault officers on Jan. 6, 2021. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
>Worrell was reportedly denied access to his prescription medications to treat his cancer, a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and was not able to see an oncologist for months while in prison.
>His cancer progressed from Stage 1 to Stage 3 during the time he was in prison. Worrell’s release was ordered by Judge Royce Lamberth after a US Marshalls’ report found unacceptable jail conditions that did not “meet the minimum standards of confinement.”

>>1413688
>criminals don't deserve healthcare or kind treatment

Sounds like a self inflicted problem
Go post unironically in another thread about how prisoners are stealing resources

Congrats on radicalizing Republicans, retard.

>>1413688

I'm not taking the word of an organization that paid an eight hundred million dollar settlement for knowingly spreading lies, try again

>>1413690
>when we do it
apparently its Democrats running for profit prisons?
Man, the lies I learn when shills try to educate me!
Congrats, you radicalized yourself

>>1413688
Yeah so fun fact about this retard: he was released to house arrest after this. He then failed to show up for sentencing and the FBI had to spend 6 weeks hunting him down (Which you'd think would also interfere with him getting his cancer meds) before they finally dragged him back to get sentenced.

Like I do think he should've been cared for better. At the same time, not only is it retarded to go around spraying cops with bear spray while having fucking blood cancer, but also I'm inclined to believe he at the least exaggerated his condition to get released considering he had no issues leading the FBI on a chase through 6 fucking states in 6 weeks.

>>1413692
>apparently its Democrats running for profit prisons?
Federal prison, retard.

>>1413674
Maybe they announced that to avoid tipping off any accomplices?
That's a stretch I know, but I'm just throwing it out there.
More than likely, they went with murder two because it's an easier conviction with mandatory minimums for each count. Even absolute most lenient scenario he's looking at 15 years, most likely something closer to 30 years, meaning he'll probably die in prison.

>>1413691
>>No you can't see any proof of this, take our word for it
>literally cites the name of the judge who told the federal government it was being retarded
Bad post, eat shit

>>1413694
>federal prisons can't be for profit
keep showing off your retardation

>>1413695
Murder Two doesn't make sense because it requires a lack of premeditation. You have literally 0 issue proving premeditation here; he disguised himself to get close to his targets and had a fucking hitlist.

>>1413696
>i just complained about a cavity
>why are you taking the whole tooth
>wtf prison dental i want actual healthcare
retardicunts voted for this but think its a bad thing when white people get treated that way :((((

>>1413696
>Reagan appointed judge literally gives right wing terrorist get out of jail free card
Is this that partisan judicial activism I keep hearing Trump and his zealots whine about?

>>1413699
I agree, it's weird.
But I'm sure the DA's office is trying to nail this guy with everything they can while keeping the chance of conviction at a sure thing.
Somehow their calculus led them to murder two. Any speculation as to how they got there is just that at this point.

>>1413703
>Any speculation as to how they got there is just that at this point.
Apparently some people are saying that Murder 1 charges require an extra hurdle to add to a charge, and they just haven't had enough time to go through that process as of yet

>>1413695
>>1413699
>>1413703
>>1413704
Murder 1 requires an indictment, not simply a charge, in Minnesota. Ordinarily those are functionally the same (hence why the terms are often used interchangeably), but that's not always the case, as you see here.

Prosecutors bring charges to judges who sign off on them if there's probable cause. Grand juries indict.

That shit will be amended ASAP.

>>1413676
>They charged people who weren't even at the riots
Are you talking about that dude that got caught with a truck full of Molotovs?

Fuck him in particular.

>They even denied one guy his cancer medication. And that was after holding them for years without a trial.
Imagine thinking anything about the treatment of the Jan 6th defendants in prison was special and we don't simply need prison reform. You just didn't give a shit until it happened to your guys and now you're trying to use a systemic issue to allege personal animosity. By the way, remind me which party is constantly saying we need to be shittier to prisoners?

>You fags are keen to shit your pants when a politician is threatened/killed, but none of you care about ordinary people being hurt, evidently.
Literally fucking nobody involved in Jan 6th was ordinary. Those were people that had the time and resources to fuck off to DC on a work day. They also all got treated with kid gloves the day of. And yet the complaints you have about their treatment stem from them being treated just as shitty as everyone else later on.

Also that shit about not caring when people are hurt is objectively not true. Babbitt worm catching a bullet sparked joy.

>>1413601 (OP)
Bro how the fuck is spraypainting a tesla (at least before the breakup) a terrorism charge and shooting two elected officials not?

>>1413808
What makes something terrorism is generally when an act is designed to shape public behavior or opinion generally to accomplish some sort of political/economic/environmental/social/religious goal through terror. While terrorism statutes can be written so broadly as to cover any form of political violence, assassination does not necessarily fall under every such statute or under the conventional definition of terrorism. You know, since you're cutting out the middleman. Don't really need to terrorize people into not voting for someone if they're dead.

More of a "be the change you want to see in the world" situation.

>>1413650
If the jan 6 rioters broke into an ice facility would you feel better about the pardons?

>>1413629

Funny how Right Wing Terrorist Insurrectionists didn't have a single gun, though.

All that and you still refuse to say what you think would or should have been done if that was a mob of black trans fags doing it instead of a bunch of whote toast nazis. Answer the actual question if you're not a coward.

Vance Boelter is a democrat appointed by Walz. This is an indisputable fact.

>>1413993
First of all, it's Rev. Dr. Vance Boelter. Second of all, he's a Republican. Or at least he was when he could vote.

Vance Boelter is a democrat appointed by Walz. This is an indisputable fact.

Exactly.
I was walking behind Vance Boelter one day a few years back and saw him finish a can of soda and throw it at a trash can It bounced off the rim and into a bag for someone collecting trash to elect some local dem politician.
Thats a direct donation to a democratic candidate, I don't know how the retarded leftists on this board can't see he's a 100% democratic plant.

Oh right that happened and people weren't charged. you deserve what you get hypocrite.

my god lefties are incapable of logical thought when it comes to politics

>>1414163
His first target was the one who didn't even have a chance to vote on this issue you keep talking about. He visited four houses; two had no one home, one was the guy who was wounded, and the last (where the police caught up with him and made him flee) was where he shot the one who died. The other homes he went by were also dems.

>>1414278
Some of them haven't gotten the latest patch and are still running out of date programming.
The newest update has been to shift to a combination of "Both sides bad" and "Why are you still talking about this!?"

>>1414278
Why? That's what they do. Immediately get a narrative that supports their side and never, ever, ever stop pushing it.

bummer that mike stoklasa's uncle got arrested

Pretty wild that Trump started WW3 to slide this story
