‘No Kings’ “assassination” in Minneapolis USA

Post by Malcy » Sat Jun 14, 2025 5:07 pm

Will Joe Biden get the blame ?

Democracy in the USA now hangs by a thread, imho.

Extract from the Guardian today -

[A prominent Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota and her husband have been killed in a politically motivated shooting, and another Democratic state lawmaker and his wife were shot in the early hours of Saturday.

Democratic state representative Melissa Hortman has died, as has her husband, Mark, the state’s governor, Tim Walz, confirmed at a press conference on Saturday. He said the shooting “appears to be a politically motivated assassination”. Hortman was the top Democrat in the Minnesota house and the former speaker.

‘“No Kings” protests against the Trump administration are set for midday at the Minnesota state capitol and around the country.

The Minnesota state patrol and Walz asked the public to not attend planned demonstrations across Minnesota today “out of an abundance of caution”. The state patrol shared a photo of “No Kings” flyers, saying it was from inside the shooting suspect’s vehicle.

The gunman was still at large, law enforcement said on Saturday, and the city of Brooklyn Park still on a shelter-in-place order. The shooter was impersonating a police officer, dressed in a uniform that would appear to be real to most people, police said.

“They did drive a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad car,” Brooklyn Park’s police chief, Mark Bruley, said at a press conference. “It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer.”]

Any comments or will this just be deleted by the tearful fearful ?

very true. the problem being the success of lies and misinformation especially in the UK using ‘red’ top newspapers. now on twit-tube X tockFACEtick

political spin can have devastating consequences - you only have to look at “Brexit”

One can avoid being a dumba$$ … reading articles from serious broadsheet newspapers daily at my local library was part of my education in my 20s. now libraries are cut back.

I have strayed well away from the original theme but safe to say - be careful what you wish for -

a stable world and no hunger would be starters for ten for me but then that would make me a despised ‘socialist’ in some minds

Let them label you, and me for that matter. A nice world for all to live in - what's wrong with that? I don't "do politics". I just want to enjoy my time on this planet and hope for future generations too.
