Minnesota shooting cause security fears when lawmakers face the threats of the home

Most US members and US Senate were nowhere near Washington when the militant went to the two -two houses Minnesota’s legislators, Killing two people and injuring two more.

And this is exactly what the US representatives and senators were. They were also not in Washington. They were at home for the weekend.

Police accuse Vnes Bogre of killing a democratic state Minnesota rap. Melissa Hortman And her husband Mark. Boelter is also accused of firing Minnesota John Hoffman and his wife and.

Everything in their homes.

And this is exactly what the American senators and representatives were. They were not in Washington.

Minnesota’s legislator found himself on vacation when the suspected suspect knocked on the door

“Minnesota followed because (the suspect) followed the family,” said one of the members of the House, who faced threats and asked for anonymity. “We went 50 percent of time. There is no longer.”

Congress Lives in the Doxxing era. People who send pizza to their homes are not a very subtle way to say, “I know where you live.” Flight.

This affects the legislators. But what contains members at the base is when the threat is aimed at their families. Perhaps the message goes to school where their children attend. The upcoming Minnesot Leader most home Steve scolis, R-la. Then there are former representatives of the former representative of Gabriel Gifords, Georgia, and Ron Barber, D-ariz in 2011.

“We need to be active on our own,” said one Fox legislator, who asked them not to identify. “Not reactively.”

Res. Hillary Sholten, Georgia, canceled the meeting of the town hall with voters this week after the Minnesota went.

“After I was aware that my name was on the list related to the recent tragic shooting in Minnesota, my office made a difficult decision to postpone our planned town hall in Moscow,” Scholten said. “With the wealth of caution and without distracting additional resources of law enforcement agencies from protecting the general public at this time, this is a responsible choice.”

Officials found the names of dozens of members of the House and Senate on the list written by the alleged killer.

This raises the question: Can Congress Security Service keep legislators safe?

Suspected a Minnesota legislator, a killer Vans Boel, who is captured

One Democrat applauded the US Police Capitol (USCP). But the legislator noted that for USCP it is physically impossible to protect all members and their families 24/7, both in Washington and in its native states or districts. The USCP report has more than 9,400 conscientious threats against legislators. The USCP only treated the share of these threats ten years ago.

Moreover, there was zero information about shooters either in baseball practice or on Giffords Rampage.

One thing is to track “famous”. “Unknown” are even more terrible.

So, what to do legislators?

Capitol Security Service and US Capitol police informed all senators about the threats they encountered early on Tuesday.

“Sober”, as in the conversation described the conversation as a minority of the Bip Dick Durbin Senate. “The threat to government officials and families is very real and very common.”

The Minority leader of the House of Representatives Jeffrois, DN.Y., and representative Joe Morel, J. This is a fund that sets out each member to run their office. Jefforer and Marel asked Johnson to “significantly enlarge” MRA so that legislators could strengthen security services.

There is also a discussion on the treatment of personal information from legislators from the Internet or approval of the anti-foer legislation.

“Increasing violence, threats against members occurred by accident. It happened because of the rudeness of discussions,” said the Senate Chak Shumer, Dn.Y.

This means you can have all the security you want. But you can’t change how people think. What they decided to post on the Internet. Or where they decide to go.

Senator Mike Lee, R -utah, deleted two reports on the social media about the shooting of Minnesota amid a squall criticism on the left and right. Lee equated the shooting to the “Marxists” and hinted that Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz (D) was partly guilty of killing.

Senator Tina Smith, Ming.

“Was he susceptible to your problems?” Ryan Schmelz asked Fox News.

“I would say he seemed surprised that he had encountered,” Smith replied.

Senator Amy Klobuchar, Min., Also searched Lee.

“I told him I said publicly. That it was not one funny for my state,” Klobuchar said. “The senior and I had a good discussion, and I was very glad he removed it.”

“Did he like a wound?” – really asked yours.

“Contribution?” Lisa Dedgerdins were questioned by PBS Newshour.

“I’m not going to join our discussion, otherwise I will not be able to do everything,” Klobuchar replied. “But I’ll just say he removed it.”

Later, Lee ignored the question of why he deleted Tyler Olson’s colleagues.

So the legislators were – again – trying to lower the temperature.

And find solutions.

Minnesota representatives find a car, a hat belonging to the killer of the suspect Vens Bolter on the highway in search of “liquid”

If there is no action, a representative of Jared Moskavitz, Georgia, makes the ward to discuss the “secret session” to discuss the right approach to Congress’ safety. Such permission to move the house to a secret session needs to vote. It is also privileged. This means that Muscovites can move on the heads of the home leaders and make a question on the floor. The House can potentially vote at the table or score effort.

The House has not held a underground session since 2008 – and only six such endings in the history of the republic. If the members vote not, they are on the record as a confrontation of a secret session for a security discussion.

But the consensus that Congress wants – or when the US Capitol’s police have, fired, it is a staggering proposal. USCP is charged with 535 members. What about the protection of the legislators who are still in their constituencies? And it’s not saying anything about family members.

Moreover, the security officers say Fox was a lot of criticism from the members of the current security post – from those who do not use the existing programs that are provided to them at home and USCP.

“They like to complain a lot,” said one of the republican sources, which stated that many legislators did not use security options.

Think again why Minnesota’s killings resonated so much on the Capitol hill.

Legislators are afraid of stalkers and others who threaten them regularly. But this is another level for orientation to family members.

Some politicians see the position to reach power. Others for glory. And some – for the old old public service.

Their families did not run for anything. Their names are not on the newsletter. On the door of the committee. They are not on the wall in the Rayburn House office building.

But the names and addresses of family members are on the Internet.

And this is what the lawmakers produce the most.
