This is about the MN shooter, a MAGA terrorist who targeted democratic officials for assassination.

Trump took many actions to incite behavior like this. It’s a known phenomenon, we even have a name for it: stochastic terrorism.

People who want to start businesses to help impoverished people in Africa, fight desperately thorough democratic means to eliminate hunger in the United States, and was described by multiple people as "expressing frustration with what he saw as unjust suffering" is MAGA?

Do MAGA usually support Africa and feed the hungry? I had no idea. Why do non MAGA people not do this?

Is it possible he was just a leftist who decided that Democrats were ****ing up and not helping people?

Well they say they are Conservative, so is it a conversion, like converting from Christian to Jewish? Or is it more like Conservatives who voted for Trump converted to stupid?
 
I understand the insanity defense holds in less than a quarter percent of felony cases.

I would think in something this high profile, the arguments will have to be pretty iron clad for people to buy it at all.
 
Some kind of weird jilted lover thing going on with him and Tampon Tim. Probably also involves the fat pizza guy he was living with.

The Insanity defense requires the defense to prove that the accused didn't know they were doing wrong at the time of the crime.

If the accused fled the scene and actively avoided apprehension then it pretty much removes the insanity defense since it shows they knew they broke the law.

Ah. And honestly... I would not want to see this person get off that way.

What they did was beyond heinous.

Assuming this man is guilty (which currently seems hard to be anything other than obvious).
 
So what is up with the Wife heading north with guns, $10,000, the kids and passports? How is this not part of it? They stopped her and then let her go on her merry way.

I suppose that would depend on if they actually believed they were a police officer. But yeah, intentional concealment torpedoes the insanity defense.

But I'm sure they'll still try.

I'm sure. The defense will do what it can, and the insanity defense seems obvious when the accused is actually crazy.
