That's a literal death threat. Fuck that guy. Maybe he'd like to experience the same next time he votes against a Democrat? Or maybe, we just don't do political assassinations.

I'm going to paste in part of my comment on another thread:

Something important to know about the two people who were shot: until her death, Melissa Hortman was a member of the Minnesota State House of Representatives; and John Hoffman is a member of the Minnesota State Senate. Both were Democrats.

And up until they were shot, the Minnesota House had 134 Members: 66 Republicans vs 67 Democrats (with one seat empty to be filled later). And the Minnesota Senate had 67 members: 33 Republicans and 34 Democrats. If the assassinations had both been successful, both chambers would have been tied. As it is, they're only saying that Hoffman is "stable", but there are no further details.

The brownshirts are being activated. They’ll inspire more domestic terrorism, and they’ll stop facing any consequences. It’s a speedrun to fascism.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 64 points 4 months ago

It is called stochastic terrorism and this shitbag should be locked up

[-] subignition@fedia.io 50 points 4 months ago

I'm no lawyer, but I feel like this statement is really toeing the first amendment line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seditious_libel#Seditious_speech_in_the_United_States

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

As Dennis would say

They are referencing two murders and two attempted already and stating there will be more, this is far beyond that line

And also tries to use an (AI-generated?) prompt answer in an attempt to call dissenting commenters an ablist slur and prove that he definitely didn't make any threats of violence with his statement clearly implying that people who voted against his party of choice have their "li[ves] at stake".

Real fucking class act this fascist shitheel is.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 months ago

So this is actually him implying that Tim Walz ordered the assassination because Melissa Hortman voted against healthcare for undocumented migrants. Not the threat that it sounds like without context, but orders of magnitude more stupid. These people live in an entirely different reality.

[-] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yes he implies that with ambiguous language as a way of weaseling out of the legality of threatening violence.

[-] Draegur@lemmy.zip 32 points 4 months ago

we protest peacefully

they murder us

i am not hopeful.

[-] Triasha@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Just have to keep in mind what we are dealing with.

We cannot let the Republican party stand after the dusts settles. It is tainted, planted over the bones of white supremacy and watered with hate.

Force them to set down new grassroots by banning every Republican politician from office that manages to escape prison.

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

Has trump pardoned this murderer yet?

[-] ObtuseDoorFrame@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago

State crimes cannot be pardoned.

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

By the President

[-] Cosmiss@beehaw.org 21 points 4 months ago

So apparently this is in reply to another tweet of his where he accused it of possibly being a hit from Walz and that is you don't vote with Democrats, then Democrats will kill you. Still completely unhinged, but the context changes the meaning of this tweet.

The image comes from a reply in the reddit comments.

[-] Spot@startrek.website 5 points 4 months ago

I may not have enough context on this guy and how he stands on stuff but, I usually read "per" as in "stated by" which would mean he is relaying that bit from Walz. And wouldn't make me worried this guy is backing the violence.

If if meant it as in Walz coordinated/hired the hit or something, then that is unhinged.

[-] Zenith@lemm.ee 20 points 4 months ago

Uh?????? What the actual fuck??? I guess throw it on the pile

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 20 points 4 months ago

Fuck off, fascist!!! 🖕🤬🖕

[-] Godofdirt@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

Well murder goes both ways

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 15 points 4 months ago

The feeling is becoming mutual. If the GOP keeps it up, reprisals will happen.

[-] Ironfist79@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The Balkanization of the US is well underway.

[-] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Okay, look at his tweet. He reposted a video of Hortmann talking after voting to repeal health care for "illegal" immigrants.

He then makes a connection to the shooter, who has been employed by Tim Walz. He is saying that Democrats killed Hortmann for not voting in line with "their beliefs".

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 4 months ago

Not how the grammar of this statement works but interesting cope with no link

[-] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago
[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 4 months ago

So that leaves us with him being a moron that doesn't understand his first language or a concern troll.

[-] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 months ago

I will never dispute that.

[-] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 months ago

I'm sure another peaceful protest will defeat this guy.

[-] quetzaldilla@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Shut the hell up.

There's hundreds of thousands of lawyers, judges, and human rights activists fighting for your rights while you spout braindead cynicism.

There's millions of people out there boycotting, unionizing, organizing, and sabotaging fascist corporations while you sit on your fat ass and complain about nothing being done.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 10 points 4 months ago

while you sit on your fat ass and complain about nothing being done.

Don't mean to nitpick here, but nowhere in the statement above was there any indication of inaction. For all we know they are slashing ice tyres daily.

[-] quetzaldilla@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Look at their comment history. I highly doubt it.

Meanwhile, I spent 30 hours in court this past weekend providing free interpretation services for migrant families that were able to successfully defend their rights thanks to dozens of volunteers and lawyers.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

Ah, that clears things up. No need to look up someones comment history (a bit weird that).

Good thing good deeds makes you superior and above reproach after all.

Respond to violence with violence but this guy's post is just laughable

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

To be fair… I wouldn’t really shed a tear if some of them became messages to other republicans… so I guess that’s where the country stands right now.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

My only question is; Did they support the oIigarchy and/or fac!sm?

I haven't looked at recent numbers but Minnesota was leading in kidnappings by far.

That said, I know nothing about these two and it's possible this happened because they were the only ones resisting.

[-] Alpha71@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

why would I care what a failed podcaster thinks?

[-] el_bhm@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Because he is a fascist with an audience. Little Goebels.

What needs to happen is some led flying over his head. Or bricks to his face. Windows. Molotov his house.

He wants violence? Serve it to him.

Cries wolf? Serve more violence.

Serve violence until he stops.

Why? Because this is what he salivates for for everyone else.

As a fellow Yuropean from eastern block.

DO NOT IGNORE MEDIA FASCITS

Pro Life! Jesus Christ!

[-] elbucho@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I do believe that this counts as a declaration of war.
