A white, Christian, fascist MAGA plotted a day of bloodshed and later texted his family, “Dad went to war last night.”
That chilling text message to his wife and kids was a blood-soaked benediction and a declaration of allegiance to his politics, to whiteness, to God.
He dressed up like a cop. Slipped on a creepy silicone mask to hide his face and climbed into a fake police car full of high-powered weapons. He had a notebook filled with a hit list that included the names of 45 elected officials. Everything was meticulously mapped out, annotated, and studied. He surveilled their homes. Tracked their routines and knew details about their spouses and children.
And then he stalked his targets and opened fire, murdering a Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband, and wounding another Democratic official and his wife. The killings triggered a massive, two-day manhunt involving 20 SWAT teams, helicopters, and drones. Vance Boelter was taken into custody alive and quietly folded into the system that always seems to exercise restraint with men who look like him.
And despite all these chilling details, the news headlines have been sterile.
“Politically motivated shootings.”
