A deranged Minnesota man’s letter to the FBI exposes a twisted tale of political violence, as the U.S. Sun reports. Vance Boelter, 57, faces murder and stalking charges after a deadly rampage targeting Democratic lawmakers. His chilling confession reveals a mind warped by conspiracy, but the facts shred his excuses.
Boelter’s killing spree back in June claimed the lives of Minnesota politician Melissa Hortman, her husband, Mark, and left state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, wounded. Posing as a fake police officer, he struck under the cover of darkness, driven by a delusional plot he tied to progressive darling Gov, Tim Walz. No evidence supports his wild claims.
Boelter’s letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, found in his car, paints a grim picture. “I will probably be dead,” he wrote, expecting his demise. His self-pitying tone reeks of a man dodging responsibility for his own choices.
At 2 a.m. on June 14, Boelter rolled up to Hoffman’s home in a fake police car, complete with a “police” license plate and blue lights. Wearing a mask, he demanded entry, claiming a shooting nearby. Hoffman and Yvette saw through the ruse, but Boelter opened fire anyway.
The couple survived multiple gunshots, a testament to their resilience against Boelter’s cowardice. His claim of acting alone, as stated in his letter, only underscores his isolated descent into madness. No shadowy cabal forced his hand.
Boelter’s next stop was another lawmaker’s empty home, a fleeting pause in his night of terror. His failure there didn’t deter him from his ultimate target: Melissa Hortman. The progressive agenda he despised doesn’t justify his bloodshed.
By 3:30 a.m., Boelter reached Hortman’s residence, where local police were already dispatched for a welfare check. He shot at officers before fatally wounding Melissa and Mark Hortman. The couple’s final moments expose the cost of unhinged conspiracies.
Investigators found a Beretta gun and Boelter’s mask at the scene, tying him directly to the crime. Pamphlets in his car reading “No Kings” hint at his anti-government fervor. Such slogans fuel chaos, not solutions.
Boelter’s letter claimed Tim Walz ordered him to kill Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith to secure a Senate seat. “I told Tim I wanted nothing,” he wrote, but no evidence links Walz to this fantasy. His accusations collapse under scrutiny, revealing a lone fanatic’s delusion.
Three hours after the shootings, Boelter texted childhood friend David Carlson, saying, “I love you guys.” He admitted to making “choices” and predicted he’d “be gone for a while.” These messages show a man aware of his guilt, not a victim of coercion.
“May be dead shortly,” Boelter texted, wallowing in self-inflicted doom. His apologies to Carlson ring hollow against the lives he destroyed. Regret doesn’t undo murder.
Boelter’s claim that his family’s safety was at risk if he didn’t comply falls apart without proof. “I just want my family safe,” he wrote, but his actions endangered everyone. Blaming others for his rampage is a tired tactic.
Arrested on June 15, Boelter faces six charges, including two counts of murder. Conviction could bring the death penalty or life in prison. Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson called it a “night of terror that shook Minnesota.”
Boelter’s offer to “spill all the beans” to Patel and be held in a military prison abroad smacks of grandstanding. His desire to turn himself in “directly” to the FBI director reads like a ploy for attention. Justice, not theatrics, awaits him.
With an arraignment set for September, Minnesota demands accountability. Boelter’s actions, not his conspiracies, define this tragedy. The woke narratives he railed against don’t excuse his violence.
