@Nonilex How exactly do you find out where US state politicians live to attempt an assassination?A: You don't.The shooter(s) either stalked or had insider into. Probaby the latter.Minnesota is home to a large muslim population. Wondering if these folks were being blamed for it by islamophobes.

@Nonilex - Police/ICE want us to prove who we are, but provide no way we can authenticate them. People cosplaying as thugs should be presumed armed and dangerous. Call 911 if you spot them, and report dangerous gangs in the streets. Any home invader or kidnapper can stencil "POLICE" on their armor.

@Nonilex He did some sort of video that appears to be some sort of self-bio for a class. He talks about working for two companies that are funeral homes and how one of them is contracted with the coroner's office. States he works with cops and investigators a lot and often does body removals at crime scenes.

@Nonilex Much of this is pieced together from his own statements and not independently verified. He very much seems the type of guy to exaggerate his resume and positions held. His security company seems little more than paper and might have been used to straw-buy equipment. It also lists him as "Dr Vance Boelter" at one point. I'm more curious about him working nights at funeral companies, frankly.
