"Federal charging documents described Boelter as acting with "the intent to kill, injure, harass, and intimidate Minnesota legislators".[6] His anti-abortion views are considered a possible motive.[50] Boelter was registered to vote in Oklahoma as a Republican for the 2004 United States presidential election, though on a state document in 2019, Boelter wrote that he had "no party preference".[8] A longtime Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, resident who knew Boelter as a fourth-grade student in his childhood town since 1976, told reporters he was stunned to learn that Boelter is a suspect in the attacks. He described Boelter as "a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights""

How dare you! Why are you interrupting this time of national mourning with inconvenient facts?
Saw a few lowered flags when doing things this weekend, holy fuck does that annoy the shit out of me.
These shitbags could not even keep the flag lowered for Carter, FFS. A mother-fucking President, and one that was a 1000x better than this piece of shit in the WH.
And they have it lowered for a fucking podcaster? What are we even doing here? Most people didn't even know who the fuck Kirk was until this shooting. It was mostly the political wonks and the terminally online that even knew who he was....
Is now a good time to talk about gun control? How about now? Now? 😉
"Gun Control? Do you mean, like, trigger discipline? I control my gun really well when I point it at people I don't like"
They don't care.
