The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim's addresses isn't enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

[-] three@lemmy.zip 148 points 8 months ago

In Minnesota, a grand jury is required for first degree. This is just a placeholder charge until they can get a jury.

[-] Technus@lemmy.zip 24 points 8 months ago

That's what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

If he was left-wing, this would be prosecuted (and propagandized by the media) as terrorism.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 25 points 8 months ago

he wouldve been charged already, much like with mr luigi was. since he targeted the protected ":class"

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

Luigi is white and they’re trying to send him to the gallows.

I think him being conservative is the factor here.

Although I agree if he weren’t white he would be treated way worse…

If the Nazis stay in power long enough, they'll revert Irish and Italian people back to non-white

IMO nothing to do with the murderer, all to do with the targets. If the assassin was a black conservative dude popping off perceived liberals/Democrats/socialist/antifa/any other word it would be the same. If the dude was a white conservative and was shooting at perceived Republican/Nationalist/fascist/bootlickers/bigots and or billionaires, straight to the gulag.

Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.
