The police caught Vance Boelter. Good. Now we can all forget him forever.
Except for the people whose lives he harmed. Two of them are dead, two were incredibly lucky.
On Sunday evening, US Senator Amy Klobuchar shared a statement from Yvette Hoffman expressing appreciation for the outpouring of public support.
“John is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every hour to being out of the woods,” Yvette Hoffman said in a text that Klobuchar posted on social media. “He took 9 bullet hits. I took 8 and we are both incredibly lucky to be alive. We are gutted and devastated by the loss of Melissa and Mark.”
If the shooter was black, he would’ve been dead in a heartbeat.
CLEARLY a terrist, that should be tortured until he gives up the names of his co-conspirators, repeat until the entire chain is wrapped up, all the way up to Trump.
GOPers post 9/11 wanted things this way, tough for them.
The only way to get torture back into the box of “things to NEVER NEVER EVER do again! EVER!” is to apply it to GOPers.
That guy looks like he has ten extra toenails he’s not using, just saying.
@Snarki, the logic of “torture Republicans so that Republicans stop torturing” is quite slippery.
He was armed and crawled out to meet the officers when he was found. Coward wouldn’t even fight it out. Before the killings he sent a message to his friends he was probably going to die and other ramblings like he was taking this fight to the bitter end. He then gave up like the demented coward he is.
@Snarki: Torture is supposed to be off the books. Besides, it’s worthless for getting reliable information. Torture only makes the victim tell you what they think you want to hear, or it gives them opportunities to more effectively lie because you’re gullible for thinking torture somehow filters truth from lies.
That was my thought as well.
This guy seems pretty wimpy and cowardly for a guy who shot 4 people in cold blood, two of which are now dead.
.1. How brave do you have to be to kill unarmed civilians in their home in the middle of the night?
His victims were chosen for their likely inability to fight back.
.2. I’m always surprised when these mass murderers decide to get arrested alive. It is not like he has anything to look forward to for the rest of his life. He will die in prison. Unless Trump figures out a way to pardon him for state of Minnesota crimes.
He couldn’t even fight to the end or kill himself.
We’ve seen this a lot lately. Bullies like Trump usually cave if you stand up to them.
Trump is known now as TACO, Trump Always Caves In.
MAGAts aren’t brave or courageous. They are vicious haters and that is it.
Apparently besides being a missionary, he also did “security work” in Africa which I’ve heard is often a euphemism for mercs.
He probably had probably had blood on his hands before last weekend.
Akira MacKenzie@7 NPR did some digging into the shooter, and it seems his claims to be some sort of security specialist with military experience are a load of nonsense. A friend said he liked to play soldier, but wasn’t one.

B-b-b-but he’s a Christian!
Woman recalls seeing Vance Boelter on foot, telling officer ‘he’s right there!’ just before arrest
re Raven @6: TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out. Your acronym would be TACI.
@11 johnson catman: re Raven @6: TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out. Your acronym would be TACI.
@6 raven: Trump is known now as TACO, Trump Always Caves In.
I reply: both are correct: he is a TACI TACO.
Or maybe, in honor of Stormy Daniels , we should call him ‘Tiny Mushroom TACO’. Have some fun. He should be the subject of ridicule. There are lots of great nicknames for him on the internet. How about’Orange is the new foolsgold’ or ‘tRUMP the oranges of the disaster’
Also, this assassin boelter sounds like a a real ‘poser’, a legend in his own mind. Based on many articles he is, without a doubt, a magat xtian terrorist.
(Alleged) sen. mike lee referred to boelter as a marxist. Lee is an imbecile. If anything boelter is likely a fascist magat xtian terrorist
What is all this garbage about the assassin being a coward “because he gave up?”
He was already a coward because he shot unarmed non-combatants and fled. Assassins are definitionally cowards.
Trying to psychically shame him because he gave up is asking for an additional violent spectacle. Probably one broadcast over TV and social media. WTF do you really want? Christians vs lions? (SPOILER: Lions win and don’t even bother with the over/under.)
“Christians vs lions? (SPOILER: Lions win and don’t even bother with the over/under.)”
Not AMERICAN Christians.
“Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents he always took his mom
He’s the all American bullet-headed Saxon mother’s son
All the children sing”

“Assassins are definitionally cowards.”
No, assassins are professional killers.
Their job does not entail one-offs, then a confrontation with the cops.
(You are clueless, drew)
@raven – Bullies like Trump usually cave if you stand up to them.
I have a strong belief the only way to deal with a bully is confront them. Do not give them an inch. Nothing frightens a bully more than forcing them to put up or shut up. The problem is too many organization (law firms, corporations, colleges, etc) are trying to deal with Trump when a unified front from the many would be more effective. Foreign leaders seem to be migrating in this direction. They are adjusting to life without relying on the support of the US. When a bullies have nothing to frighten you with, they lose their power over you.
