The MN shooter is a "strong supporter" of Trump

[senseandsensibility]

According to Aaron Rupar who is quoting KARE TV in the Twin Cities. The station reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is a "strong supporter."

Anyone surprised?

1. Have the Marines been sent to Minnesota?

2. Marines would get court martialed if they go after Trump supporters.

Trump will pardon him and give him a huge reward.

3. Can't pardon state crimes, which this is.

5. Terrorist laws are mostly federal crimes.

Will his attorneys try to switch this to federal court?

What about political assassination laws?

10. Domestic terrorism isn't a separate chargeable federal offense.

The federal terrorism law defines domestic terrorism but doesn't provide for a separate defined penalty for it. There is currently no means to prosecute someone under federal law for domestic terrorism; instead, people are prosecuted under state law for state crimes included in the federal definition. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47885

12. Ok thanks.

I am waiting for Trump to pardon state crimes.
I wonder what the states will do.

4. No. I suspected that based on the statement trump gave this morning . I know he didn't write it personally but

like I said in another post, he has no decency, if this guy was a solid dem, he would have wasted no time saying this was done by a radical left wing socialist Antifa blah blah blah.
I also thought it curious that him being appointed by Walz was leaked to a RW rag before officials confirmed who the suspect was. Somebody was trying to shape the narrative or muddy the waters.

A lot of attempts at distraction and just flat out fantasy. And the hardcore maga will believe it no matter what.
