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

    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.

    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: www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

    As a non American, wtf happened with that dude that almost killed trump? I feel like I heard about the whole thing when it happened, but it kinda just went away and I’m not even sure what that guy’s deal was. Maybe because we didn’t get all the headlines in Canada, but it certainly felt like it was brushed under a rug to me.

      He got killed by the secret service during his attempt, I’m not sure they were later able to assess motive and stuff

      Seems like there was more reporting on their clothing choice than on the person themselves.

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

  He’s white.

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

    I think him being conservative is the factor here.

      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.

  That’s a charge that’s guaranteed, and may be all they need to achieve the outcome of him going away forever. They’re also free to charge him with more things, once the investigation finds more evidence
