How does one call a political movement that assassinates its opponents to take control of the state?
These are assassinations to flip control of the Minnesota House (was 67-67) and Senate (was 34-33).
Local media reporting that the victims appear to be two Democratic state lawmakers and a spouse. No word on injuries.
This is really, really dark news to wake up to.
