Albuquerque police arrested a former Republican state House candidate in connection with recent shootings at the homes of Democratic lawmakers.
At a news conference on Monday night, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina announced that Solomon Pena, 39, was in police custody following a SWAT standoff in Southwest Albuquerque Monday afternoon.
The perp lost his election to the state house, denied that he lost and allegedly not only hired people to shoot up the homes of Democratic officials and did some of it himself. He also apparently was at the Trump Coup attempt in 2021.
This particular Republican clown has been convicted of a felony before, so he's going to go away for awhile as a felon-in-possession gun charge, let alone for the rest of his fuckery.
This is the thing that sticks out for me: Solomon Pena was convicted on 19 felonies, serving 7 years, and the Republican Party refused to run a simple background check on this guy, allowing him to represent the party on the ballot. Jesus. If the Democrats allowed a felon to run on any ballot, the mainstream media would be raising holy hell about it 24/7.

What happened here is Pena presented himself as a MAGA TRUE BELIEVER, screaming at the libruls and willing to defend trump's Big Lie to the bitter end. The modern GOP does not care for the quality of candidates to run for office: the modern GOP wants willing jihadists eager to strap bombs to themselves and blow everybody else up.
My mom, who worked for criminal defense attorneys for decades, said that the surest way to get convicted of murder is to try and hire someone to murder someone.

His loss was by 47% of the vote, but he was convinced the system screwed him. It’s insanity.
