        This is the suspect that the police announced. He’s very fed-coded. I think he’s also South African.

        Editing this comment because I can’t confirm that he was from South Africa. He was a member of “Minnesota Africans United”, a connection for the network of African immigrants in Minnesota.

      Praetorian Guard Security Services

      sure, I’ll hire a security service named after the guys who famously kept assassinating the emperors they were supposed to guard clueless

      Also I just found a different Praetorian Guard (apparently several genius entrepreneurs had the same idea), and these motherfuckers even have a scorpion as their emblem! You know, the famously trustworthy scorpion (although maybe that particular fable’s not as famous in South Africa, I dunno, but still)
