NPR calls Boelter "Food worker with fantasy of security career:

[RandomNumbers]

It appears to be true.

Food worker with 'fantasy' of security career sought in Minnesota political shootings

In social media posts and websites, Boelter said he had extensive experience as a security professional with "training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military."

NPR found little evidence to support Boelter's account. He appears to have worked most of his career in the food service industry and one long-time friend described parts of Boelter's narrative about his life as "fantasy."

...

I guess I missed that part of the interview with Carlsen (if that is who said that).

...
On the website for a company called Praetorian Guard Security Services, LLC, Boelter described himself as part of the "leadership team."

NPR found no record of the firm having clients or providing any services. A call to the company's phone number connected to what appears to be a private phone line, not a business. The address listed in incorporation papers appeared to be that of a law firm specializing in divorce litigation.

Boelter himself appears to have no history working in law enforcement, the military or private security.
...

Kudos to NPR for investigating that assertion.

Looks like the guy is a wannabe after all.

I hope this makes the FBI and LEOs concerned for their pride if this sick fuck gets away from them.

1. Boelter described himself as part of the "leadership team."

He was the team..for a nonexistent business.

2. Got Ed. D. from Stritch U, for "Leadership", only Doc level degree they offered before going bankrupt. . . nt

3. "Those who can't do, teach?" Apparently Strich U.

was not so hot in the leadership department itself.

(to be clear, I don't actually agree with the saying in quotes. Except in some cases, possibly this one.)

4. Sounds delusional.

But he was not floridly psychotic, he was able to plan and execute a meticulous
murder plan.

5. Video of his roommate was telling.

First, a roommate? Apparently several. And the guy was disheveled, grubby and in a Papa John’s shirt. The house looked like it had seen far better days too.

I can’t figure out if he was separated from the wife, if she lived with roommates too, what was up with the guns and passports in her car…it’s all just creepy af.
