Replying To A Comment on the Last Post.
@PatBuckman: You are right, the assassin does SEEM to be a very left wing guy, given what has been published about him.
However, the two folks he murdered were leaders in the DFL, the Democratic Farm Labor Party one of the oldest of the far left parties in the US and historically quite radical. There is SPECULATION that Representative Hortman was targeted because she voted for, or supported the defunding of programs financially helping illegal immigrants. This would IN THEORY track as the DFL is one of those organizations that, however misguided they might occasionally be, is actually legitimately and quite passionately concerned about the plight of domestic workers and farmers rather than academic theory or virtue signaling to one's upper-class peers. However, I have not been able to pin down state records or legislative transcripts of any legislation or debate that might be the source of this notion. And I've looked.
That is why the whole post consisted of a link and 9 words. The situation is horrific and whoever did it for whatever reason needs to die, but there is no information.
There is a quite reasonable theory that the fact that they claim to have a manifesto, but are not commenting on it, is a bit of a tell. I agree that certainly APPEARS to be a completely legitimate hypothesis. But it is JUST a hypothesis without the screed in question. It could be an attempt by the left at a masterful rope-a-dope if the guy is a right wing nut job, it could just be Governor Waltz's love of censorship. It could indeed be abject terror at the potential political backlash if the assassin actually is a Tankie or something. The suspicious silence could even be protecting innocent children named in the document, or keeping unsuspecting guilty parties in the dark about the fact that they were mentioned. We just don't know. about that.
What we DO know is that whoever did this vile deed needs to be hunted down.

Concur. And, where a lot of hypotheticals are concerned, I hope I see things that are not there, and that it is simply my own suspect judgement.

What little we know of the suspected assassin doesn't really fit either of the typical right/left extremes. And the "kill list" in the vehicle is reported to include a lot of high profile targets from right, left and center. So I'm just going to assume "disconnected from reality/crazy" until we hear different.

Depending on the crazy, Obama would be evaluated as left, center, or right. A basic part of problems currently, is that mixing communists in with our previous mixture of republicans and democrats (small r and d, and I guess c), has the effect of making things pretty uncertain unless you know who made the statement, and how they think. It is self evident that the Democratic Party falls under RICO for the terrorism of 2020, but where a LEO is will make a drastic difference about whether he says that. People in various law enforcement organizations are not there ergoditically, they traveled a path of choices. Like, I would expect an FBI man to have FBI man biases in not considering whether the FBI has clearly been a partisan criminal conspiracy from its origins in the Wilson era.

Anyway, seems to have just been an evil crazy. He documents the order, adn then gets confused about who he is to kill part way into the mission? The guy is too obviously impaired and delusional to be a reliable witness.
