The resolution expresses strong condemnation of the recent politically motivated violence that resulted in the tragic deaths and injuries of members of the Hortman and Hoffman families in Minnesota. It emphasizes the foundational American values of political and religious freedom, tolerance, and the importance of addressing differences through debate rather than violence. The resolution characterizes the act of violence as cowardly and unacceptable, reinforcing that such actions are never a legitimate means of expressing dissent.

Furthermore, the resolution extends heartfelt condolences to the families affected by this tragedy, particularly the children of the Hortman and Hoffman families, and the people of Minnesota. It calls for the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of the resolution to Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz and Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth, highlighting the solidarity and support from the State of Rhode Island in the face of this horrific event.
