Allusion:
The above indented quote would look better with single-spaced lines.
Is there an easy way to do that?
I half expected him to be found dead by suicide.
I didn’t see anything in the article about his “affiliations”, just mentions that democrats were the victims.
Are you commenting on the They caught Boelter. comment?
If so, I haven’t seen any clear and reliable reports on his affiliations and motives. Some say all the persons on his manifesto/list were Democrats, while others say both Democrats and Republicans. The “No Kings” flyers found in his car are being interpreted as meaning he’s a “No Kings” leftist and also that he intended to target such protests. Claims that he contributed money to left/far-left groups and that he registered as a Republican. The only data for which I have seen no contradictory interpretations is his opposition to abortion (or unrestricted abortion?)
I hope his manifesto gets released very soon, as that may end much of the speculation.
Notwithstanding all of the above, there is no shortage of people confidently asserting his nature of his affiliations and motives. Call them opinion spigots.
Isaac Asimov once infuriated feminists by saying something to the effect of “women and children first–except for feminists”.
@Ben David: Greetings from Israel
Reports are confused as to how many missiles were intercepted vs. hit targets. (I know that Israel does not waste interceptors on missiles calculated to impact uninhabited areas.)
