How is this not bigger news?

FWIW I just logged on and the first thing I saw was this story on German TV (edit: twice).

And if anybody has doubts about the political motivation:

Officials said they located the suspect's vehicle, which had lights and sirens as if it were a police squad car, and found a "manifesto" inside with the names of other lawmakers and officials.

edit: the politician killed was pro gun control

(The answer is it just broke and there are a lot of newsworthy things happening today)

It was an almost inevitable succession to robbers cosplaying as ICE. If one is deemed normal, then extrajudicial killings where in the moment you believe it's illegal to defend yourself will be normalized too. If this is allowed to stand, or your president would pardon this kind of violence, your country is lost.

Seeing the headline, for a minute I had hoped that the resistance had finally woken up, but no- just another victory for the Nazis. Not sure why I expected any different.

The state of America

RIP to the victims.

Fucking psychos... i hate the right so much. Dangerous deranged cunts.

Assassination. Terrorism.

That’s what trump and his sycophants would call it. That’s what the news would report them saying. But if a democrat gets shot it’s “political violence.”

"Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America."

"...well... Let me get back to you on that one actually"

I expect a very cryptic "condemnation" of this act from the GOP any day now.
