Freepers are making hay of the fact the shooter had connections to Walz

And former Governor Dayton

“Boelter’s prior appointments to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board (2016 by Governor Mark Dayton, 2019 by Walz, term expired 2023) placed him in state government records, making it easier for authorities to match his identity to evidence like the manifesto or Father’s Day card.“

The above was part of a post at FR and I won’t provide a link to it.

But they ignore this part of the post:

“Critical Evaluation
Reliability: The AP’s report, citing two law enforcement sources, is the most credible, as it aligns with multiple outlets (FOX 9, Hindustan Times, The Washington Post) and is less speculative than X posts. Rosas and Markowicz’s claims on X, while early, are supported by the AP and a notarized document, adding weight, but their police sources are unverified. Outlets like The Liberty Daily and Must Read Alaska frame Boelter as a “radical Democrat” or “communist,” which lacks evidence and reflects bias, as no source confirms his political leanings.“

My guess is Walz reached across the aisle to appoint this scum.

Never a good idea, imo.

He was appointed along with 60 other people to some this or that.

They're muddying the waters but we can see the guy is Maga all the way.

I saw stories on at least 4 different sites about it. They fail to mention the man owned a private, armed security company, which others found in about 2 minutes of googling.

Why was the first reporter to get this a RW reporter? The first report of this came from a Blaze Reporter reporting on X that sources gave him the information.
I am guessing this guy had members of both parties on his hit list. Someone deliberately wanted to set the narrative. Why wasn't there an official announcement before it was leaked to Blaze and THE AP by anonymous sources?
Either way, this guy needs to be put away for life. I hope he is captured alive to face his punishment.

Some nut bag Governor appointed me to some shit called "The Royal Order of Kentucky Colonels" when I was on Navy recruiting duty back in the 80's.

Even got a card and a stupid certificate autopen signed by the governor of KY.

Would that mitigate things if I did political assassinations?

He sure as fuck didn't target Retrumplicans, did he?

Fuck this noise...and fuck any media org that thinks a 2016 appointment, and a 2019 reappointment deserves one fucking second of America's serious thoughts.
