Now, multiple law enforcement sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS a traffic stop at a convenience store located near Onamia late Saturday morning involved a vehicle which was carrying Boelters wife, as well as three other relatives.

Sources say a traffic stop was done between 10 and 11 a.m. A witness says about a dozen law enforcement squads converged on the vehicle and remained on the scene for two to three hours.

Two sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the vehicle contained a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports. However, to our knowledge, no one has been arrested just questioned.

Yeah. They're going with Walz appointed best friend right now. I don't feel like this narrative is going to stick long term because most people do realize this type of violence is unacceptable and not okay.

This is all a game to them. It's fun. They love the violence. When it happens, they like finding new, absud lies for their followers and ways to twist it around. It's all a happy, jolly game for right wingers

Maga types absolutely do not.

They want this. This is a GOOD thing that happened in their eyes and the only thing better is pinning the blame on someone other than those responsible.

It's not going to stick cause it's a flat out lie. Walz never appointed him, Walz's predecessor did and he just kept him on.
Fans are the worst thing about being a fan.
I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but this time, we got the facts of this case and the background of the terrorist before the conservative spin machine powered on. They're still doing the typical "give cover to our media ecosystem so we can keep the violence going with the thinnest pretense of deniability", but it hasn't been as successful as running the same play with previous murders.

We all know they want everyone who even slightly disagrees with them dead (and will deal with the useful idiots later once they're no longer so useful), but they'll settle for apathy and intimidated silence from groups who aren't the primary targets. Unfortunately, I feel that there ain't no gettin' offa this train we're on, but I really hope I'm wrong.

They're honestly happy the guy shot up some democratic politicians and he will likely be an inspiration and hero in their eyes. I won't be surprised if some MAGA decides to be copycats at this rate country-wise.

I dunno. Enough Republicans want to hate Democrats because enough of them are "Godless atheists" and they'll use shit like a bipartisan appointment to be some smoking gun like he was caught activating him like a Manchurian Candidate and telling him to kill. That's besides the delusion of pretending "leftists" have anything near militant groups like they used to like the Black Panthers and Weather Underground when they talk about "ANTIFA".

Meanwhile the Republicans have like 5 Walmart shootings in the last 10 years, multiple gay bar shootings, The Charleston shooting, Charlotteville, Cesar Sayok, the Tallahassee shooting, Christchurch Mosque shooting and others.

One of the things MAGA is running with is that this guy is democrat who shot these lawmakers because they voted for a measure to kick undocumented people over age 18(i think) off of MinnesotaCare or whatever their services are called.

I am seeing that in the house, Melissa Hortman was the only Democrat to vote for this measure, but I am unsure how John Hoffman voted in the senate. It isn't always that easy browsing state government websites, so I cannot find information about Hoffman.

MAGA is trying so hard, again, to paint this guy as a Democrat, but there seems to exist far more credible evidence to point to him being a right wing nut job. I just want the facts on the votes to counter a stupid talking point.

And doing this little game of "This guy is actually a left winger!" is part of the game for them. Like you said, they know it's bullshit, that's why they do it. It gets a rise out of normal people who know it's bullshit. People get mad and start correcting them and then sometimes insulting when they keep doing it. This is what they are wanting. It sucks.

It's January 6th all over. Where all the right wingers were dragging out their fainting couches at the idea of us correctly pointing out who is carrying out this attack and to not look silly because maybe it won't be the very obvious answer.

The president, who condemned the violence, called the Democratic governor a "terrible governor" and "grossly incompetent" in an interview with ABC News' Rachel Scott.

"Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too," the president told Scott.

A: Boelter lied and fabricated his entire career, per NPR. There's no evidence at this point any websites purporting to be private security firms were legitimate in that he made them but lacked credentials. He was a food service worker that was completely delusional.

B: He has been arrested in his home town in Green Isle, Minnesota.

Mike Lee, a Republican senator from Utah makes this comment about the assassination...

"This is what happens...When Marxists don't get their way," Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a photo of Boelter wearing what appears to be a latex face mask.

Lee also shared another post of Boelter with the caption: " Nightmare on Waltz Street ."

He appeared to be making a reference to Minnesota governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, misspelling his name .

Unfortunately, this shit from Mike Lee is as American as the Fourth of July and apple pie. It is the "America" of cross burnings and lynch mobs.

The larger project, assuming we survive Trump, is to make shit like this from Mike Lee truly un-American. Of course that will mean the end of the Republican party as it presently stands.

I knew Melissa Hortman. Many people in this office did. She was a longtime friend of Senator Smiths, who had seen her hours before she was murdered. So youll forgive my candor as I speak through enormous grief.

It is important for your office to know how much additional pain youve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend. I am not sure what compelled you or your boss to say any of those things, which, in addition to being unconscionable, also may very well be untrue.

But that is not the point. Why would you use the awesome power of a United States Senate Office to compound peoples grief? Is this how your team measures success? Using the office of US Senator to post not just one but a series of jokes about an assassination is that a successful day of work on Team Lee? Did you come into the office Monday and feel proud of the work you did over the weekend?

Lets recap Saturday so you fully understand what Minnesota was going through. Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered. Sen. Hoffman and his wife were shot numerous times and remain hospitalized. By the grace of God it appears they will survive. Senators are discovered to be on a hit list of an armed man on the run Senator Lees colleagues. And the decision of the office of Senator Mike Lee was not to publicly condemn the violence or to express condolences to her shattered children it was to intimate that Melissa and Mark somehow deserved this? By making jokes? Did you have any consideration for the survivors in her family? For the Hoffmans in the hospital? For their families?

You exploited the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats. Did you see this as an excellent opportunity to get likes and retweet[s]? Have you absolutely no conscience? No decency?

I pray to God that none of you ever go through anything like this. I pray that Senator Lee and your office begin to see the people you work with in this building as colleagues and human beings. And I pray that if God forbid, you ever find yourselves having to deal with anything similar, you find yourselves on the receiving end of the kind of grace and compassion that Senator Mike Lee could not muster.

Lastly, I suggest you take a few minutes today to read about Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. They were remarkable people. Heres a story in the St. Paul Pioneer Press called Melissa Hortman: Once a teenager with a job making burritos, she became a powerful MN lawmaker who trained service dogs.
She was a force. And a human being. And I beg of you to exercise some restraint on social media as we continue to grieve.
