oh, that narrative: the awkward case of Vance Boelter

57 years old—a year older than I am. We GenXers are crazy fuckers.About those shootings:

Police ID Suspect in Minnesota Lawmaker Shootings as Vance Boelter
Authorities say Boelter should be considered armed and dangerous, and anyone spotting him should call 911 immediately and not approach him.

Authorities have identified the suspect in a pair of targeted shootings of lawmakers and their spouses that rocked Minnesota early Saturday as 57-year-old Vance Boelter.

Boelter is accused of killing former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman, a Democrat of Brooklyn Park, and her husband, and seriously wounding Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman of Champlin and his wife in separate, targeted home invasions early June 14.

“We are asking for the public’s help at this point in time in locating Vance Luther Boelter,” Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said at a June 14 press briefing. Evans asked anyone who spots Boelter, described as a 6'1” tall 220-pound white male with brown hair and brown eyes, to call 911 immediately.

“Do not attempt to approach him. You should consider him armed and dangerous,” Evans said.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has opened a tip line, which includes a description indicating Boelter was last spotted wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark-colored, long-sleeved, collared shirt or jacket, light pants, and a dark bag.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley told reporters at an earlier briefing Saturday that the suspect posed as a police officer and used a fake squad car outfitted with flashing lights to gain entry to the lawmakers’ residences.

“This was somebody that clearly had been impersonating a police officer, again, using the trust of the badge and this uniform to manipulate their way into the home,” Bruley said, adding that the suspect fled out of the back of the house, abandoning the vehicle at the scene.

A search of the suspect’s vehicle—an SUV—uncovered a manifesto and hit list. “When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials,” Bruley said. “We immediately made alerts to the state. We took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary.”

Investigators also discovered flyers in the vehicle bearing the phrase “No Kings”—a reference to a protest movement critical of President Donald Trump’s policies—that has scheduled demonstrations across multiple states, including several in Minnesota. Authorities have urged residents to avoid political gatherings out of an abundance of caution.

Per the well-known rule: the crazy shooter is almost always a Democrat.

The shooter's manifesto was found and is not being published. That tells you everything: the manifesto doesn't fit the left's narrative that it's only the right that's violent. Patel and Bondi: get that fucker published. You know for a fact that, had the shooter been a rightie, the manifesto would've been the first thing shown to the public. According to the left, the public has a right to know what a killer is thinking only when the killer is a rightie. And how often is that? But as Vince says above, we're still gathering information.

UPDATE: the guy's been caught. Alive, surprisingly. The unaltered manifesto remains unpublished; authorities apparently put out a re-typed and partially redacted reproduction of Boelter's hit list of politicians. People on the right doubt that we'll ever see the whole, original manuscript because, as with the Nashville shooter (a trans person), the full manifesto wouldn't fit the left's lying narrative. The true narrative (which admittedly still needs a bit of confirmation in this case) is: crazy lefties are generally the shooters. Not responsible NRA members. It's never NRA members.
