I’m pretty sure that the answer to your question is the Governor (Walz) and the State AG (Ellison)…and the generally gruesome tone (at least WRT LE) that pervades the whole apparatus.

The vagaries of criminal procedure in various jurisdictions perplex me. Since premeditation is manifest, I would think the complaint / information / indictment would be for two counts of 1st degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, one count of criminal impersonation, and conceivably other counts for weapons offenses, burglary, and assaulting a public official. In a sensible jurisdiction, the sum of the first four counts would mean an automatic capital sentence. (Of course, Minnesota is the state which prosecuted four innocent police officers for being present when George Floyd expired from a fentanyl overdose and the jurisdiction which incarcerated Mohammed Noor for all of three years for fatally shooting Justine Ruszczyk a propos of nothing in particular).

“HC68,

Maybe immigration is the key dynamic for the upper level leadership,” — physicsguy

Yeah, that’s who I was talking about, the leadership, the Party leaders, the heads of the ‘groups’, the ones who actually make the decisions. I guarantee you they are looking at the potential impact of Trump’s immigration actions and sweating.

The rank and file…yeah, they hate. They hate hard. Their leadership stokes it intentionally.

The thing is that leftism, fundamentally, is a _religion_. Or at least, it fulfils for some hard-core ‘progressives’ the role the religion does for most people. Which is why hatred comes so readily to them, they’re forced to see opposition, more or less, as Evil. Heresy.

Not all Democrats think like that, of course. But a lot of the hard-core progressives do.

If the leftists can’t kill conservatives they will settle for killing progressives, that might be a tell.

I’m a native Minnesotan, resident of first ring Minneapolis suburb. The deceased legislator is the only Dem to vote in favor of the budget bill here last week, which she negotiated for the Dems. She spoke afterwards of regret, primarily because it denies free healthcare to illegals. She pissed off the far left with that, I suspect.

My (Dem) state legislator lives three doors away from me. The suburban police has had an officer parked in front of her place since 3:30 AM Saturday morning. One is still there now.

I was skeptical at first, but the No Kings rally worked.

I woke up this morning and my country still has no king.

Good job, everyone!
