A man named Vance Boelter allegedly shot and killed Melissa Hortman, a Democratic Minnesota state representative, and her husband Mark Hortman at their home at some point early Saturday morning while, according to law enforcement, impersonating a police officer. He also allegedly shot state senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman at their home. They are alive, but remain in critical condition.
Law enforcement has said they found a manifesto and hit list in the alleged suspect’s car, which included politicians, abortion providers, and pro-abortion rights advocates. There were also allegedly fliers in his car for the “No Kings” protest against President Donald Trump, which took place in cities across the US on Saturday.
The 57-year-old, who has been identified as the suspected shooter according to numerous reports, runs an armed security service with his wife, and has been affiliated with at least one evangelical organization, a ministry he has also run with his wife, according to a tax filing reviewed by WIRED. (His wife could not be immediately reached for comment.) According to public records and archived websites reviewed by WIRED, the suspect served for a time as the president of Revoformation Ministries. A version of the ministry’s website captured in 2011 carries a biography in which he is said to have been ordained in 1993.

Worked for a company called Praetorian that he and his wife created. Using that as the name of your private security is suspect based on the Praetorian Guard and its history.
I’m guessing he was one of those Republican hires in an attempt to be bipartisan.
Also, the photo of the No Kings flyers that I saw looked weird. They don’t look like they are flyers with any info, just cut squares of paper that say “No Kings” on them from what I saw. If what I saw is legit, it feels potentially planted evidence?
Edit 1: Photo of flyers I’ve seen on various stories
Edit 2: YES, HE WAS REGISTERED REPUBLICAN AS OF 2022 per the NY Post
Those look like a bunch of photocopies, like someone who’s never been to a protest but wants the cops to think he’s a protestor. Ya know, by bringing 100 paper photocopies of the name of the protest, like a protestor would.
I’m going to guess that was him pulling fliers off people’s windshields that were put there by others, to suppress the message.
Dude apparently put a lot of work into his cop impersonation but I’m sure these are totally legit 🤦♀️
That “G” is so fucked
We can stop saying “evangelical ministry” and just call them “terrorist groups” now. We don’t need to abide by their pleasantries.
A Christian zionist ministry. https://bsky.app/profile/chadloder.bsky.social/post/3lrlka4qsqs2q
Why am I not surprised? Might as well check his home for kiddie stuff too. Checking all the boxes at this rate.
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
Which verse in the Bible does Jesus get all murdery against those that are not Nazis?
In the beginning. The entire first part of the bible, where the god floods the Earth for being too sinful. Then turns entire cities to salt for being LGBTQ.
That’s the part of christianity that the christians follow, you’re just reading a chapter and ignoring the rest. Then you go “WHA? Why all the hate?” Well, the hate was spelled out in the first 10 chapters.
You ignored it and pretended it doesn’t exist.
That’s on you, dummy.
Damnit, I didn’t think most of them read.
But I was told the woke liberals are the real danger that need to be actively and violently suppressed.
Not a gay trans Democrat?
Quick send the national guards to his hometown, the suburbs are rioting and out of control! /s
Where does the hate come from? Religion. This priest spread hate his entire life, then decided he’s going around murdering people due to his “higher morality” than the average population.
There are hundreds of priests that do the same everyday, spread hate in the name of their hate religion.
If you’re christian, this is what christianity actually looks like. Not the one that they’re trying to sell, the REAL christianity. The one that goes out into the communjity and murders those that they hate.
I’m surprised this wasn’t an ex-J6er. Still, I wonder if Trump will pardon him?
I mean he’s like one cliche away from being on Epstein’s flight logs.
i offer now as the time for anyone to make the argument that this was a leftist
J.D Vance
Vance Boelter
