We had another terrible tragedy yesterday, a young man who was clearly suffering from mental health issues shot up a church service. It was a horrible thing and I am profoundly grateful that our friend who teaches at the school was OK. But that's not what I want to talk about right now.
All afternoon yesterday my social media feeds were inundated with posts demanding that people not make this political, not jump to conclusions, and the like. To some degree I'm OK with that, but when the political hacks from the MN DFL came out in force to make this political, that changed things for me. If y'all want to focus on the victims and the tragedy, that's great. But for virtually everyone from Frey, to Klobuchar, to Craig, to Walz, to Ellison to be taking advantage of this crisis for political proposes (What was it that a DFL operative said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."?) well within hours they were politicizing this tragedy. One wonders why only this one?

Somehow in the midst of all of this carnage, this one shooting was the one politicized by the DFL. One wonders why.
Now that we know that the Assumption shooter did not fit the narrative, we'll see the story disappear just like any other shooting where the suspect doesn't fit the profile.
We know that the shooter was "trans", we know that the shooter had "Israel must fall", "Kill Trump", "Mashallah", and Nuke India" written on his rifle, so it's safe to assume that this wasn't the stereotypical "white, conservative, extremist". We know that the guy who shot the lawmakers left behind mixed messages as to his motives to say the least. The Assumption shooter left behind plenty of evidence of their motive, yet the MSM are baffled as to what that motive could be. The rest of those arrested for the above shootings are either Muslim/black or black and they'll get very little publicity.
So we have Jacon Frey (who posed weeping, in (apparent) prayer before the holy casket of St Floyd) demeaning those who'd find solace in prayer, yesterday afternoon as he rushed to get to politicizing early. ( https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/minneapolis-church-shooting-mayor-prayers-b2815197.html) Let's not forget that Jacon Frey has been mayor of Minneapolis for the Summer of Love 2020 riots, the massive increase in carjackings, and the shootings this summer.
The rest of the DFL hacks jumped on the gun control bandwagon quickly. This guy bought his guns legally. He went through TWO background checks (One to get his permit to purchase by MPD, and the other the mandated federal background check), clearly the only flag might have been his "trans" thing, but that's a protected class in MN. Every one of these hacks has been in MN politics and government for years, they've all had plenty of opportunities to implement stricter gun control, and they haven't. You may ask why, if their desire for gun control is a deeply held principle, have they not done so. The answer is simple. Even the bluest of blue parts of MN is full of firearms owners and hunters. Many of these hunters are part of the vast number of hunters who realize that an AR platform is an excellent deer rifle as well as being able to be used to mount a crossbow. (https://steambow.com/products/ar-series-m10-tactical?srsltid=AfmBOor2U-iYLm01bFDzHc_X01vrSk6_hBfniu-rtL7AGZCf502Vy_Sb) The reality is that these DFL hacks like their jobs, like the power, and don't want to piss of a big chunk of their voters over this issue. Not to mention that they like the publicity opportunities these shootings provide for them to talk tough, before they return to business as usual.
To be honest, there is plenty of blame to go around on all of these shootings, but the simple reality is that the very people who ghoulishly run to the cameras and vigils for the publicity, have done and will do none of what they claim will work. Meanwhile, they let a child rapist off with an incredibly light sentence and engage in the same revolving door approach to criminals as most other DFL controlled urban areas. Was the Assumption shooter dealing with mental health issues, almost certainly, yet no one seemed to notice or help until yesterday.
The problem I have with these tragedies is that the ASPL is quick to politicize, jump to conclusions, and push their narrative while simultaneously telling anyone who might push back that they are not allowed to. It's rank hypocrisy at it's best.

Also, because the MSM haven't covered themselves in glory covering this, let's not forget the ABC analyst who talked about the fact that the shooter had "Trump" written on his rifle, choosing to ignore the context of writing "kill Trump".
"GavinNewsom (@Gavin Newsom) posted: We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings.
And the @GOP will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down."
Perhaps the presumptive DFL presidential nominee in 2028 is unaware that Minneapolis is an incredibly blue city, and an incredibly blue county, in a blue metro area, in a blue state.
