Police are investigating two shootings targeting elected officials in Minnesota that could possibly be connected, officials said.

Oh look the magat nazi terrorists are killing innocent people again.
Sure wish literally anyone on the US “left” had half the courage of their convictions as MAGA trash.
But by all means, keep clutching your pearls and feeling morally superior.
You can always cross the border and satisfy your bloodlust, but we both know you’ll say “it isn’t my fight” and not do shit. Just go back to feeling morally superior from the comfort of your home.
Golly, it’s just so hard to understand why, when actually faced with the prospect, people are so reluctant to start killing their neighbors and relatives!
It’s not about bloodlust, it’s about not being sitting ducks
It’s your country that’s falling apart, it’s going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)
Yep, there it is: “it isn’t my fight.” News flash: if the US falls, you guys will be next. Stop trying to shame others for things you’re not (and wouldn’t be) willing to do yourself.
“if the US falls, you will be next”
Yeah, and that’s effectively you (as a group) threatening me, isn’t it? For stuff that’s going on in your country? That I had no influence on? Why do you expect me to do anything but prepare to defend myself?
I won’t be saving your country from your own mess, no. And as a non-local I would be less than useless even if I did cross the border. What I will be doing, however, is preparing to the best of my ability myself and my home community against a fascist US.
Besides, that wasn’t the point of my comment. The point of my comment is that the fascists in charge won’t hesitate to use violence against you. If you choose to not defend yourself from it, then you’re sitting ducks, and they get free reign. It has nothing to do with “bloodlust”. It’s about defending yourself from an abuser. Why did you assume I tried to shame you? I’m not the original commenter.
You mean freedom fighters taking on the deep state
If you don’t specifically state that you’re being sarcastic people will assume you’re serious.
It’s alright i like to let people vent their frustration sometimes
No, they meant what they said.
Both Hoffman and Hortman are Democrats.
Yes, but I read the comment you replied to as sarcasm. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Poe’s law is in full effect. The right has gone so far around the bend that without a ‘/s’ one can no longer tell. :(
Agreed! I think the /s is needed now.
You are a special kind of stupid
PLEASE do NOT Retaliate by calling Republicans NAMES! We MUST stay Respectful while Republicans CONTINUE murdering us!
-Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and the DNC!
Sternly-worded letter to the editor of NYT to follow.
Federal death penalty for any perps. If it’s good enough for Luigi it’s good enough for them.
I’m curious how Republicans will blame this on Biden
He once donated to charity at the cash register at the grocery store when he was 14, so he was clearly a radical far-left ANTIFA extremist.
Biden was the shooter don’t cha know?
Obvious /s if we do that here
Both from the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.
For those unaware, the DFL in Minnesota is the standard Democratic Party, it grew out of a merger of the Democratic Party and the MN Farmer-Laborer party in the 1940s
It’s not the standard democratic party. It does caucus and fund with them, but DFL has historically been much more progressive than the DNC.
It’s part of why they don’t drop the FL.
That’s fair. I was thinking standard in the sense that they caucus and fundraise with them.
Whelp, I guess it’s starting. These will not be the last.
There is only ever one way to stop the facists boot comming down on your neck.
As bad as it is, im glad it wasnt the left that fired first. But God im scared they might not fire at all.
A source familiar with the matter tells ABC News that the victims are state Sen. John Hoffman(D) and state Rep. Melissa Hortman (D).
Both were shot at their homes and authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement, the source said.
That impersonating cops thing is a little sketch.
They keep saying “impersonating” when there is a very decent chance this person is in fact law enforcement.
People are more likely to believe the first thing they’ve heard. This isn’t their first rodeo.
You can say assassinated. It’s not a crime to say it. Yet.
Looks like the LARPers get a day to show off their milsurp outfits.
