We discuss the suspect in the deadly attacks on Minnesota lawmakers, Vance Bolter. He is a 57-year-old white male who ran for local office as a third-party candidate with anti-government views. Bolter is listed as the director of security patrols for a company called Praetorian Guard Security Services, and has reported experience in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America, and the Middle East.
