Vance Luther Boelter, the suspected assassin of Dem leaders Melissa Hotrtman and her husband, was captured after a two-day manhunt, but several questions remain unanswered. To start with, the motive behind the killing as cops found a list of about 70 politicians who he was about to target. Boelter worked for Governor Tim Walz and the Republicans are calling him a Democrat supporter — even ‘No Kings Protest’ posters were also found in his vehicle that he left and fled on foot. In determining his political allegiance, a claim by his childhood friend David Carlson emerged as crucial as he claimed Boelter is a Trump supporter and voted for Trump. It added up as his target list has mostly dem and liberal politicians. But MAGA turned on against Carlson as in a video that went viral the Carlson said Boelter worked for Tim Walz but did not like him. He did not like Jim Biden, either, the friend mentioned. Who’s Jim Biden? MAGA said that the person who did not even remember the name of the former president Joe Biden, can’t be relied on to give a statement on anyone’s political allegiance.“Well, everyone’s calling him a Democrat. He’s not a Democrat. He would be offended if people called him a Democrat. Because of this board thing he was on for Governor Walz, he was just serving the community. I can’t believe a political issue would cause him to do such a thing,” he said. “He did not like Jim Walz, he did not like Jim Biden,” the friend said, referring to Tim Walz and Joe Biden.
Largest manhunt in Minnesota’s history
The 43-hour manhunt for Boelter has been described as the “largest manhunt in the state’s history” and it also involved at least 200 officers and utilized a federal, state and local partnership, Brooklyn Park Police Chief. Boelter was arrested in a field where he croawled to the arresting officers and was taken into custody without any use of force.
