Until I moved a few years ago, Melisa Hortman was my state representative. She lived only three blocks away from us. The Mn. state Senator Hoffman lived very close to my sons' High School, Champlin park. The assassin had a list of other Democratic lawmakers including Senator Tina Smith and manifesto in the SUV he used as a police imposter to gain entry to the victims homes. In fact he once was director of a security firm. I know it is bad to speculate. Tim held back here but I won't. Let s face it, the rhetoric from Trump, the on line social right and media demonization is a major contribution. In the near future, you can bet Trump and minions will take the offensive and say their rhetoric has nothing to do with what happened. Book it. My ex neighbor who now spends half the year in Greece and half here told me ; "I don't recognize the country anymore". A lot of us feel the same way. To quote RFK from 1968 after the assassination of MLK Jr.,"What kind of a country have we become?
