In the early hours of last night in Minnesota, several politicians were executed in their homes—one in Champlin around 2:00 a.m., the other in Brooklyn Park roughly 90 minutes later. By sunrise, a suspect had already been named: Vance Luther Boelter, a 57-year-old with a history that, for lack of a better term, glows in the fucking dark. One that includes simultaneous private security work in the Congo and documented ties to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. His personal vehicle, dressed up to resemble a police cruiser, was found near the second crime scene. The narrative settled in quickly. Too quickly.
