There is no allegedly, the dude was a total boomer and literally wrote out instructions on how to dox someone in his notebook which are shown in the federal complaint against him
Literally outlines which sites are free, which ones have free trials, etc

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

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.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 weeks 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: 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’s white.

Luigi is white and they’re trying to send him to the gallows.
I think him being conservative is the factor here.

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

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
