I feel like if he shot a CEO they would have found him already 

What?? He shot high profile Minnesota politicians.  I >feel like< you’re wrong.

Yeah it sounds like he wants to be known as an international merc at least but is really just what you describe.

Fuckin "Praetorian Guards Security"? Running contracts for oil refiners and "the world's largest food company based on Switzerland" - aka Nestle the water thieves?? Gimme a break with the "ZOMG he's actually LEFTIST!!!ONE!!" and actually engage with the facts of the situation. 

Good lord, turning Twitter back on was a mistake. Disinformation flows in abundance from there

World’s largest convenience story based out of Japan is 7-11, but he doesn’t want to say he worked for 7-11.

It tracks.

He admits it on his linkedIn. This guy was not a badass merc but he did have access to cop accoutrements.

The need to bring in a top notch investigator from Brainerd to clear this all up.

Minnesota Star-Tribune rolling coverage of the suspect. Interesting text sent to his "housemates," which itself is not well explained.

https://www.startribune.com/brooklyn-park-police-searching-for-suspect-in-multiple-targeted-shootings/601372993

5:35 p.m. - Vance Boelter texted roommates that he was “going to be gone for a while” and “may be dead shortly,” according to one of his housemates in North Minneapolis who read the message aloud to reporters. Boelter reached out to roommates David Carlson and Ron Ramsey.

“David and Ron, I love you guys. I made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way. I don’t want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don’t know anything about this. But I love you guys and I’m sorry for all the trouble this has caused.”

I am skeptical of the “you guys don’t know anything about this”.  Smells like bullshit to keep them from prosecution/civil suit.

It’s okay for me to talk about my job, as long as I’m not specific. I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas. Although there are typically between fifteen and twenty normal security officers working the beat there, we decided a while ago that it would be best to have a specilized force for violent individuals. We use modified electric vehicles and can be anywhere on a given floor within eight and a half minutes.Naturally, the regular security people are unarmed. We “RTFers”, by arrangement with the local police, carry high-strength OC spray and batons. If we have a full tactical alert and permission from the local LEOs we also have a Mossberg 500 with less-lethal rounds and two K-frame Smith .38s loaded with 158gr. LRN.Basically, the situation is that we get the call, we lock up the situation, put everything five by five, and cordon the area until the local authorities arrive. We’re cops, we just don’t get the glory.
 

I am not permitted to carry Glocks on duty; however, when my wife picks me up from work I strap on the “Deadly Duo” of a 27 and 23, each with Bar-Sto .357 bbl.I am writing a proposal to replace our current Mossberg-Smith armament with the following:

3) MP5K-PDW with red-dot sights;

2) G36 rifles using SS109 rounds;

3) Glock practical tacticles in .357 Sig

1) PSG-1 using Fed Gold Medal .308

1) Starlight scope for the PSG-1 in case we lose power in the building.

3) Glock 27 backup guns

3) Kahr P-9 holdouts

I think this would make us capable of facing nearly any situation. I’ll let you know what the management says!!!

Let's call him what he is.  An evangelical.  Evangelicals are no different than Islamic terrorists.  It's way past time we start treating them as such instead of giving them a pass due to their inherent stupidity.  Their insanity is not harmless.

Yep. If I'm either of those guys, I'm already looking for an attorney. It's telling that they read the text to reporters; that sounds to me like a couple of guys in panic mode. I'm skeptical that roommates of a probable political assassin are typically anything but critical of "mainstream media."

Well, I'm generally skeptical of anyone over the age of 30 with roommates. I'm especially skeptical of 57 year old roommates. 

Maybe @Laxtonto can tell us more about  politically inconvenient truths while apologizing for his misstatement earlier.

Agreed. The link I gave from the Star-Tribune mentioned that he also had a wife and kids, but that doesn't sound like a wife-and-kids household. The article didn't reconcile the info, but the S-T is also probably in full-blown panic mode trying to process all the stuff it's got coming in from whoever was available to work on a Saturday.

Bottom line is he sounds like a real piece of work whose life may have been falling apart. His guideposts may have all been pulled up -- lost his income, might have lost his family, probably never had a good sense of what his church and his god even meant because he may have never put independent thought into either. Tragic all around.

much of the shit sold as "food" in this country (and particularly in convenience stores) would be considered poison in japan. so 7-11 (and familymart and etc.) almost have no choice but to be glorious compared to here.

2+2 is a type of car: 2 door with small back seats. 

If you have ever been heading south on I-35E and saw a funny looking place right at the split of 67 and 35, that's the place. I don't know if they are Assembly of God, United Pentecostal, or unaffiliated. 

Yeah, I didn't mention that there's no accreditation for them. It's a closed system. If you 'graduate' from there it's to stay within the nurturing confines of the charismatic evangelical movement.
