It turns out that the Trumpist terrorist who assassinated Melissa Hortman and her husband in Minnesota first attacked John Hoffman and his wife at their home, and then went to a second home, where he fortunately failed to attack anyone but did encounter a cop who did not interfere with him in anyway.

He then went to Hortman’s home, where cops again encountered him and watched him murder Hortman and her husband before he escaped out the back door.

This isn’t quite “Uvalde cops arresting parents trying to save their kids while cops cower outside the classroom” helplessness, but I would dearly love to be able to finally put to bed the “cops protect us from bad guys” trope. They watched him commit the killings through the window! He escaped because they waited for a drone to enter the fucking house!

It was nice while it lasted, but #Firefox is done. Stick a fork in it.

As if the cold blooded murder of the Hortmans wasn’t fucking evil enough the fucking asshole shot their dog, too.

“The bullets didn’t only silence Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark—they took their gentle Golden Retriever, Gilbert, too. The couple spent weekends helping train service dogs for vets who needed a steady paw to lean on.
This was cruelty, pure and simple—aimed at people whose life’s work was giving wounded veterans a reason to smile again.” - Brent Molnar
