The gunman says he helped a defeated Republican target the homes of Democrats in New Mexico.

A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.

The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.

Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.

    In fairness they didn’t view it as open admittance; rather they thought the idea was so absurd and ridiculous that they’re mocking the very notion.

    Unfortunately for us all though, it’s simply the truth.

      If you’re mocking the fact that you’re being called Domestic Terrorists by embracing it, then you clearly don’t mind being called a domestic terrorist.

      And there’s effectively no difference in how you should treat someone who embraces being called a domestic terrorist and one who’s acted on being one.
