context: Can we call it what it is, Domestic Terrorism. >
  
  Right-wing attacks never count as terrorism. >
  
  When its right wingers abroad we typically refer to them as “freedom fighters” >
  
  If a crime fighter fights crime and a firefighter fights fire then I wonder what freedom fighters fight?

  I miss him. He was great! >
  
  Same, him and Bill Hicks are neck and neck for GOAT in my world. >
  
  Robert Shimmel and Rodney Dangerfield as well. >
  
  Never heard of Shimmel but do you know Dangerfield’s last words?  Epic to say the least. >
  
  Shimmer is a genius, were dangerfields last words "I tell ya I get no respect. >
  
  To the surgeon before open heart surgery “hey doc you know what trust is? Trust is two cannibals performing oral sex on each other.”  He didn’t make it out of surgery which would normally be sad but when you end it with such a banger you can’t be too upset about it. >
  
  All the targets are Democrats.  Saved you a click. >
  
  To be honest, I knew that. I was wondering if it was about targeted dems officials or about republican officials shooting people. >
  
  It was a toss-up for me as well >
  
  Also, are the police the ones shooting? >
  
  One of Trump's lawyers called for a federal agency director to be "dragged out and shot" for saying Biden won the 2020 election
  They're just doing what their leaders tell them to >
  
  I mean, we let them get away with a coup attempt and stealing classified documents. We're practically begging for them to move on to political assassinations. >
  
  They are also attacking infrastructure. The party of terrorists and insurrectionists. The GQP! >
  
  Exactly what the GOP is, The Terrorist Party. GOP needs to change their name. >
  
  Nah, they're still Gross Old Pedophiles. >
  
  Yep! >
  
  
  All five politicians are Democrats.
  
  Oh, what a surprise… >
  
  I was expecting there to be at least one shooting where the shooter was a Republican State Rep or something. >
  
  Well, one could have expected one of the victims to be an old school Republican official who'd regardless of party affiliation have come out against fake stolen elections narratives. Some of those have received threats. >
  
  I don’t like conspiracy theories, but I feel like there could be some relationship with this to the substations that have been shot up recently.  Like do we have active domestic terrorism cells and the FBI just doesn’t want to talk about it? >
  
  
  Like do we have active domestic terrorism cells and the FBI just doesn’t want to talk about it?
  
  Yes, we have white nationalist terror cells, and yes the FBI is keeping quiet.
  Why?  Because there are a lot of FBI who are sympathetic and/or complicit. >
  
  Something something forces, something something crosses. >
  
  It’s almost as if the entire justice department was created purely as a way to control the unwashed masses. Huh, guess we will never know. >
  
  Needs repeating:  
  The GOP is a terrorist organization. >

  It doesn’t matter if YOU think there is a Civil War right now, it matters if THEY think there is a Civil War >
  
  Incidentally, the previous records for the number of voting rounds for the Speaker of the House were made in the lead-up to the Civil War. >
  
  History tends to rhyme from time to time. >
  
  Worth a mention: Otero County (NM) commissioner Couy Griffin (Cowboys for Trump leader) was removed from his elected position on 14th Amendment grounds. He  lost his appeal to the New Mexico supreme court.  
  His replacement filed a restraining order again him which has been lifted.  
  I don't think it was him, but I do believe one of his supporters is mad enough to do something like this. >
  
  Totally plausible. What a POS. So proud of NM for getting him out. >
  
  Queue Republicans insisting that we can never really know who is behind these repeated attacks on Democrat leaders >
  
  FOX News: No story >
  
  More like "Republicans failed to assassinate thier political rivals..." >
  
  Woke morality police are canceling those with different opinions. Fox headline probably >
  
  All five were Democrats.  The party of weapons for all (republicans) seems to be using their plank literally.  Ugh. >
  
  This is not unexpected. >
  
  Agree, but on a lesser scale.  Say one or two would not be unexpected.  But all five?  That's a bit outside normal expectations in my book. >
  
  We're not in a normal time, so I'm not holding normal expectations. >
  
  Fair enough. >
  
  domestic terrorists / terrorism >
  
  Don't forget stochastic terrorism, political terrorism, and christo-fascism. >
  
  Really sad that these fucking morons think that them shooting a human person with a different idea about politics than them is somehow patriotic.  We're actually a progressive state sandwiched between crazy Texas and Arizona and this is what we get for it. >
  
  Arizona isn't nearly as bad as Texas now. Katie Hobbs just became governor, they've been seeing a real blue wave over the past years. Much more progressive than Texas. >
  
  The GOP is a domestic terrorism organization at this point. >
  
  This is how democracy dies. This should be investigated all the way up. FBI should be in on this (if they aren’t already). >
  
  Oh don’t worry, the FBI is in on it alright. Just not in the way you’re hoping for. >
  
  I had to check the article, but I already knew the targets were Democrats... this is actual terrorism. >
  
  Sad part is I saw a local article about this yesterday and there was 0 mention of that. I had to look each person up and was not surprised. >
  
  Weird Al wasn't exaggerating in his song "Albuquerque"... Clearly it was the guy with one nostril and a flock of seagulls haircut. >
  
  Hopefully he didn’t steal any lucky autographed glow in the dark snorkels in the meantime >
  
  That snorkel was just like a snorkel to me!!! >
  
  I wonder if the FBI is involved. If not why? >
  
  Remember, we have to be very very careful with Republicans feelings. We can't make them feel like they're responsible for this or anything. 
  There will be no judging in this country! 
  Always, always remember that Republicans have extremely sensitive feelings, and we always have to protect those feelings at all costs. >
  
  Kinda goes without saying at this point >
  
  Every single cop in Albuquerque is a criminal. Don't expect anything. >
  
  Waltuh >
  
  JFC that domestic terrorism. >
  
  Saw this yesterday (live in Albuquerque) and was wondering how this wasn’t national news yet. >
  
  All I heard during the Obama years is that he wouldn’t say “Islamic terrorism” eventhough he did frequently 
  well…
  Why won’t Republicans say “violent right wing domestic terrorists”? >
  
  Responsible gun owners for sure.  /s >
  
  I got to uni in ABQ can confirm there are way to many guns, it’s just sad honestly it’s destroyed pretty much all public activities :( >
  
  Just wait until a couple of billionaires start offering to take care of the families of "martyrs". >
  
  Or a broke orange shit head in Florida who was Jeffrey Epstein's best friend for 17 years. >
  
  Did I miss something, or did the article not mention the political affiliation of any of these people? Kind of a big thing to gloss over, considering. >
  
  You missed something, the very first paragraph says all 5 are Democrats. >
  
  they didn’t miss it. 
  it wasn’t in the original version of the article, the party affiliation was edited in. >
  
  
  they investigated themselves and found nothing wrong >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 86%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Albuquerque detectives are investigating multiple incidents where the homes or offices of local elected leaders have been targeted by gunfire in the past month.
  The third shooting took place at the home of state Senator Linda Lopez on Tuesday, when at least eight shots were fired at her Southwest Albuquerque residence just after midnight, police said.
  "APD officers collected evidence at the time of the shooting. The evidence is now being evaluated in connection with the shootings related to four other local, elected officials in Albuquerque," the department said.

  Oh, that’s what it takes to get apd to show up? Not the dead bum in the alley between girard and vassar? Not the guy sitting on my porch for 45 minutes shooting in the air every minute or so? Guess I should’ve become a political elite if I wanted police protection. >

  That is awful!   I hope they find the culprit(s) quickly.
