This man needs to face State charges so that he's out of the reach of Trump's pardons.

I read he is being charged by the state to prevent the Orange Felon from pardoning him. If charged with federal charges, including terrorism, those charges may supersede state charges. The State of MN must control this case.

Because he’s white, which also explains why he isn’t dead.

I’m disgusted about the lack of focus that was put on this horrible tragedy. Just the fact that the MSM is not using the word “assassination” makes me so angry. This is a BIG deal and really frightening. Any thought I ever had of running for office is now out the window. MAGA is so anti-American it’s ridiculous. And these right wing “Christians” are at the heart of it. Don’t forget they also want to bring about the second coming of their savior and they see Trump as a way to do this. The Iran crisis is playing right into that, too. I have no clue what to do except continue to call my elected officials and to vote in November.

A very good question. I would also like to know why, after killing two people and severely injuring two others AND impersonating a police officer to carry out those deeds, he is being charged with 2nd degree murder?!? That seems to me to be a travesty of justice. And the beat goes on...

2nd degree so crime is tried in MN. First degree is federal so the orange jackass could pardon him. Christian nationalists are domestic terrorists and they are fueled with rage by trump who should be jailed for continually inciting violence against his enemies.

If Jesus has already won, why are they still at war, killing people? And what ever happened to give to Caesar (the government) things that are Caesar's and God the things that are God's? A clear distinction between church and state.

Don't count on CNN to report about this MAGA terrorist. They are too busy shilling Jake Tapper's book.

The 47-Git's political machine has no interest in the proliferation of this Domestic terrorist- he one of their own…the Fascist GOP & DOJ will try to bury or play down all of this monster's crimes, killings and background.

In the state of Minnesota a prosecutor must present evidence to a grand jury to charge murder 1.
