A man posing as a police officer targeted the homes of two Minnesota politicians (both Democrats) this morning; House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times and are out of surgery.  


Disgusting. Maddening.  So, so incredibly sad.

Are we even shocked anymore?

30% of Americans own guns so 100% can live under permanent threat.

Civil War seems almost inevitable. Not to mention WW3 right around the corner.

Dumbasses with guns killing politicians 

FBI agents beating up US Senators 

All within 48 hours.

This just a taste of what the next 4-8 years will be.

To everyone on this forum who have common decency and sense, I hope that you and your loved ones will be safe. 

It's going to be dangerous.

This has just taken over the whole day in our household here in Minneapolis. So sad, so scary.

Truly horrendous. Sincere condolences to the families concerned.

There has been much comment in the last few decades about radicalisation, initially from 'outside' any particular country.

But - hasn't the track Drumpf has been following since his 'golden staircase' descent also created and promulgated the same 'us versus them' mentality ? - which only leads to greater division, and further radicalisation.

That is the thing he's BEST at - he's an arse at being a businessman, a shit husband, a poor father, a convicted felon - but he still somehow managed to cling to a media profile of competency that enabled him - finding a foil, a supposed enemy, anyone who now opposes him - it's all THEIR fault. It's Biden, it's immigrants, climate change is fake. It's never ME, it's THEM. I'll call THEM all sorts of stupid names instead of having an idea to do anything differently. Follow me and I'll get rid of THEM. And I'll pass it off as being 'strong'

Except - THEM is in reality all of US. We are all just different versions of US.

The dark beliefs of the Fox Reich are so threatening in concept that I am
surprised more of the true believers are not more violent. Jan 6 was kind of
a realization of their “movement” - but this horrendous act seems just as
natural an outcome of FOX feeding lies to demonize a group of people.

I am so saddened and angered. America staggers on, cutting itself as it
goes.
