Alleged Shooter of Two Minnesota Blue State Senators Has Been Arrested

 

In Minnesota the intolerant and ends justify the means chickens have come home to roost
The dogs of violent divisiveness against politicians who oppose the intolerant have been let loose
Two Blue  State Senators have been targeted and shot
One killed along with her spouse and the other with his spouse but neither of them their farm bought
Vance Boelter, the alleged shooter dressed as a police officer, engaged in a shootout with a cop and fled
Leaving residents of two Minnesota towns hearing or seeing a cop knocking on their door in fearful dread
Fortunately after a massive manhunt by police and a reward of $50,000 Boelter was caught and arrested alive
But for fears of copycat killers, political officer holders are breathing a sigh of relief for now they have survived a heinous crime but maybe a silver lining
That may force intolerance spawned ends justifies the means crime to be declining
This nation by violence is being torn asunder
A steady stream of gun flashes followed by thunder
