So this guy encountered police security patrols at the second and third house he approached. The third was where he killed the rep and spouse. 

Outstanding police work, fellas. What a fucking joke.

 

The police want Democrats to die.

Well, you know that Jesus often said if you don't like what someone says, you should break into their house and shoot them.

Especially when the president cheers it on. Like Nancy Pelosi’s husband

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

... and then, you know, what ever you think is best...

Yeah, I had it totally pegged as a whimsical lark.  Like, he headed out to get a late night Slurpee, and then said "fuck it, an ice cold cherry treat won't make me feel better, might as well assassinate some people."

I mean, its over 80% humidity down in the hollar right now, a Slurpee sounds pretty damn solid.

I usually dislike it when the feds bring overlapping, concurrent charges with a state.  Other than glory-seeking, or maybe putting the death penalty on the table, I'm not sure why the feds are pursuing this.  The firearm law that it falls under, 18 USC 924, is one of the most draconian and probably worst federal criminal laws on the books.

Trump can't pardon state crimes.

Man, surely you know by now that much of federal criminal law arose in response to a refusal by many states to prosecute crimes committed by certain types of people against certain "lesser" types of people.

Some of it sure.  A lot of it is just political "tough on crime" shit.  Congress can't do anything useful, so they pass a crime bill.

Even the most gung-ho MAGAt US Attorney might flinch a little at an entire prosecution for the purpose of giving Trump an opportunity to pardon.

And federal prosecution, in most cases, does not preclude state.

So it's all a giant waste of time.

We now know why the feds co-opted the state charge and brought the death penalty into play: the perp also shot and killed the dog.

Gilbert never graduated from training school, but went on to be a beloved pet of the Hortman family. Melissa and Mark Hortman and Gilbert were shot and killed on Saturday.

He just happened to be most pro-Trump, rabid Evangelical, anti-abortion leftist in history who only wanted to kill Democrats

Geez.  He was basically BFFs with Tim Walz!

Sure seems like we are currently seeing the fruits of the KGB's meddling in the 60's, 70's and 80's.  How many different assassination attempts have we had in the past 12 months due to political violence?  Seems to be increasing unfortunately.

Shit. I think the meddling is more of the last 30 years. But there's more than just that happening. If's a confluence of shit...but yeah, social media is certainly at the heart.

The heart of it is the violent cult of evangelicalism.  Social media is just a means of spreading the message of hate to dummies faster than in the old days.
