Democratic Texas State Representative James Talarico speaks on the assassination.

Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Not just the ones who look like us and agree with us. ---

And yet, Trump and others **willfully** ignore that Democrats did condemn the killing, No matter, MAGAs just declare that Democrats should be targeted. ---

MLK Jr. was killed with a 30-06, but unlike Oswald’s Carcano, James Earl Ray’s Remington was pump-action so he wouldn’t need to cycle a bolt and take his eyes out of the sights. The king of Portugal was killed with a rifle - a semiautomatic that also didn’t require reacquiring the sights. ---

According to a count down window on MSNBC today, there was an announcement of some kind scheduled for 1:45 MT. That was changed to a sheriffs dept announcement at 2:00 MT then cancelled in favor of a presser with Kash Patel when arrives from DC. So, they may have good news that Patel wants the credit for, or bad news he wants to spin. What’s the image on the suspects shirt? ---

That requires running around in public with pieces of the firearm you used to commit a very high profile crime. Might as well just break into a nearby steel foundry and toss the gun in a vat of molten steel, like at the end of Terminator 2.
