Two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes early Saturday
by a man who apparently posed as a police officer — and is still on the loose.

Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman was shot in her Brooklyn Park home,

while fellow party member Sen. John Hoffman was targeted roughly 8 miles away in Champlin.

A manhunt is on for the suspect, who was wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.

BREAKING: Shooter in multiple murders of Minnesota state lawmakers and spouses was reportedly impersonating a police officer
in reply to Lauren Weinstein

doesn't want to be seen in usual thug outfit, and be confused with ICE...
in reply to Lauren Weinstein

The _cops_ thought he was a cop. That goes beyond "impersonation".



Violence or nonviolence? Outside of a moral argument, there is a simple, practical one: Unless you can muster a level of violence that is capable of overthrowing the most powerful military in the history of the world, the State welcomes your violence. In fact, nonviolent resistors are much bigger threat to the State than violent resistors, who play into the hands of state propaganda.
in reply to Eric supports DEI!

If you are actually going to I wouldn't talk about it either. Direct assault wouldn't be the way to go either.

Don't forget: military has dogs. We don't even know how many. They'll be undefeatable in terms of hacking. Hard to destroy physically. And can splatter you all over the place and not give a FUCK.

This is just the first step. Get the public used to the idea of the military being there to "support" the police. Bring the dogs in little by little. If SHTF dogs now.

There is no way I would have my computer doing this many things were I still using Win10

And sometimes I play games while this is all going on, too.

Asiel amper een thema in speech Yesilgöz: 'Veiligheid en economie speerpunten VVD'

nos.nl/artikel/2571122-asiel-a…

Zolang deze gladpratende populistische politieke opportuniste er zit wordt het niets met de liberale gedachte waar de VVD voor zou moeten staan.



Today is #NoKings. For those who are local, we hope to see you at one of the several local protests. We'll be at Torrance City Hall from 11am - 1pm.

If you can't join a protest, you still participate. Drive by and show your support! Put a sign in your car window! Call your elected officials. Put out a yard sign. Be Creative!
