Boelter shot the two victims who survived 17 times

This asshole shot the two victims who survived 17 times



The victims who died were also shot multiple times.




Was this asshole trying to torture his victims or is he that bad of a shot?

makes you lose concentration and higher reasoning skills.

Otherwise he would have put one or two rounds in each at the chest / stomach area... and then proceeded to put 2 rounds into the head ( just to make sure ).

But that takes cool and calm reasoning. He was probably operating on pure hatred. Apparently an anti-abortion RWNJ.

He may have even thought that Trump will pardon him because Trump pardoned all the J6 people.

White murderer will go straight to El Salvador, without any Due Process?
Nope, the P25 billionaires will pay his attorney fees
Hope they get him Alina Habba. She is such a winner.

While it was too late for the Hortman’s, their saving their daughter Hope - who was then able to call the Police - who not only got to the Hoffmanns in time to save their lives - but to take cation that likely led to them saving many other targets and throwing off the killer and getting him caught…

This is overkill. This is how someone who hates acts. This was essentially a hate crime.

...an act undertaken in a state of rage (to say the least). The evidence presented at the trial of the murderer's state of mind should be interesting.
