I can only hope they capture the perpetrator very quickly and identify any accomplices he may have had.

This.

A very practical decision, as I would expect from Walz.

At our No Kings rally in Helena, organizers barred protesters from standing on the capitol steps, behind the speaker's dias, because, they said, speakers were feeling vulnerable. Understandable, under the circumstances.

I've seen a few pictures of No Kings protest in St. Paul, Minnesota and it looked big.

I had heard that the organizers cancelled the protests in MN. But the people came anyway.

This is Mike Lee, Republican Senator from Utah. The GOP is full of very twisted and sick people.

I don't understand why the charges are for second degree murder. Anyone? I mean, having a hit list--how much more do you need for first degree murder charges?

Steve Miller

@pique

Minnesota law. Only the grand jury can bring charges of first degree murder. Might take a few days.

With any luck he’ll be tried on state charges so he doesn’t get pardoned.

I think there may be more to this story than has come to light thus far.

Maybe not, but he seems to have spent a lot more money than you’d expect him to have as a clerk at 7-11 with a night job at a funeral home. Lots of travel, cars, guns, etc.
