I myself will be surprised, though, if he does not commit suicide in prison some little time before his actual trial begins. We all know the drill: monitoring electronics shut down, guards away from the cell, and all the rest.

Yeah.

Is it mere incompetence

And, along with any conservatives of good faith, I don’t care if his targets were our opponents. This is not acceptable at all.

It does not appear to be a reporter’s work, and is inaccurate at times. Most glaring: the suspect was arrested in Sibley County (not Ramsey) about an hour from Brooklyn Park (not nine miles) where he allegedly did the four shootings.

I mentioned yesterday in another thread here that my MN legislator, two doors south of me, had had a police officer in a marked car watching the house. The officer is gone now, of course. But I notice that my legislator is not on Boelter’s list! Abundance of caution, I guess….

I read on X that Scott Johnson’s (of Power Line) cousin, Dean Phillips, who tried to run against Biden for the 2024 Dem nomination, says he was on the list. I don’t see him either.

Boelter abandoned his fake police car after exchanging gunfire with police over the weekend. Inside the vehicle police found “No Kings” flyers and a manifesto, along an extended kill list. Its contents were not revealed until now. There are at least 60 names on the list, but there are some odd aspects to it, as Minnesota native and TH columnist Dustin Grage pointed out:

JUST IN: The contents of Vance Boelter’s “hit list” have been provided to Alpha News. More than 60 Democrat leaders appear on it along with abortion clinics.

What, they don’t have copy machines in Minnesota?

Which Democratic Party slush fund AND/OR foreign actor has been keeping this perp’s (and his wayward wife’s) head above water?

Not to mention overseas travel and a bunch of guns and LEO-style equipment… and his rural property has to be costing something like $25K annually for the mortgage and what not (unless he paid cash, which would ALSO have to be explained.)

Unfortunately, in this highly-charged atmosphere, we may see more of these independent unhinged actions.

Miguel’s link has lots of interesting information on this shooter. No obvious means of support, but a substantial rural property and a wife and five children, although how many live with the family is not clear.
