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.

      Put “republican” hired to shoot “Democrat” in the headline

      By deliberately de-emphasizing the crimes of republicans they are thereby absolved and emboldened.

      BBC knows better but doesn’t do the right thing. Why? Why indeed.

      Odd that just doing that is great, but notice that this is the BBC not an american source. Its almost like if you want the best news about your country and its real issues and good things its best to never look in the sources from that country.
