This is what happens when the democrat media complex advocates violence on a daily basis. This blood on the hands of the bias, liberal media and every democrat.

They beat Trump supporters before the election and now want to kill after. I blame the DNC as they have done nothing to soothe the feelings they started
Allegedly one of the congressman said as he was leaving the baseball practice a random guy came up and asked if the people playing were democrats or republicans and then started walking to his car.
This seriously sounds like a major attempted massacre in politicians while they were defenseless.
This is armed insurgency from the lefist whackos. Even though the snowflakes appear to be a joke DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE them.

Why in the hell aren't the politicians armed? Hell I'm not even in the spotlight and feel the need to have a firearm. Wake up people there is craziness all around you, be prepared or be a victim your choice.

Aaaaand...what's the issue??
Holly crap these talking heads could wait to say AR and now there was a hand gun and now a Shotgun.
Well I hope the congressman and the officer are OK and the gunman suffer a agonizingly slow death and please God let there be a Hillary sticker on his car.

Well enjoy your AR'S while we still have them cause you know by tonight there be a call to ban all guns and assault weapon.
Looks like they fired the 1st shot....not surprised. Pls pick me.
A hillary, obama AND bernie sticker on the car. Wish for the trifecta.
We'll know pretty soon if it was a liberal loon that did the shooting - if this story disappears after a day.

Capital police stepped in and put the shooter down.
This isn't really a surprising development. The level of hatred and rage from the left was already out of hand. Now they are transitioning from violence-porn about killing the right to actually doing it.
That was actually my first thought.... They have gone from talking about hating their enemies to now openly and boldly trying to kill those they disagree with.
Should make for an interesting summer.

Here's the narrative: white man with guns kills politicians. Demonstrating yet again our problem with a) guns and b) white men
Rep Scalise laid on the field for 10 MINUTES while capital police tried to stop ONE man.
I would hope our congress people would have better security these days.
I know it would not take the secret service 10 minutes to stop 1 guy.

Good point.
Somehow I get the feeling that we won't be hearing "left wing ideologue inspired by non stop biased and lying news coverage targets political enemies"
Never let a crisis go to waste....there is an agenda to push.
A few random thoughts...
-10 minutes until anyone could get to him? Just shows that the police can't be everywhere at all times, and you need to be able to protect yourself. Of course, running the bases with a big old handgun strapped to your hip will take some getting used to.
-Capital Police armed security onsite and it still took them 10 minutes to down this guy? Wow!
-I really, really hope this guy doesn't turn out to be a disgruntled conservative who decided to take out some RINO's, - or we can kiss National Reciprocity goodbye, if it is not already dead.

If indeed this is politically motivated does this qualify as a hate crime?

Actually we'll have to do a DNA test. Anyone with 1% genetic makeup can claim that as minority status (as long as it entitles em to gubbermint entitlements). The shooter may actually identify his/her/it's gender as a turnip and be related to Elizabeth Warren.
So NBC in for the win.

“As we were standing here this morning, a gunman walked up to the fence line and just began to shoot. I was standing at home plate and he was in the third base line,” Bishop told the Detroit radio station. “He had a rifle that was clearly meant for the job of taking people out, multiple casualties, and he had several rounds and magazines that he kept unloading and reloading.”
Bishop said the only reason he and his colleagues survived was because someone at the practice field had a gun and was able to return fire while they found cover behind the backstop and elsewhere.
“We were inside the backstop and if we didn’t have that cover by a brave person who stood up and took a shot themselves, we would not have gotten out of there and every one of us would have been hit — every single one of us,” he told WWJ Newsradio 950.
Don't be so sure. Unlike the liberal scum perhaps the Republicans get it.

You were kidding when you wrote that right? They were not defenseless, they had an armed security detail at the practice - a luxury that 99% of Americans cannot afford and do not have.
Go legally armed my friends, whenever you can.
It sounding like the shooter did fire many rounds but the police laid down suppressing fire .
The math 3 to 4 cops 15 to 19 rounds per cops gun all firering at the same time and the shooter and the shooter most likely a 30 rounder so it's a lot of lead in the air.

This is a very sad day in America.
It is sad for many reasons:
The amount of time it took to secure the scene for one gunman.
A shot man lays alone for ten minutes prior to being "rescued".
The news media talking and talking all the while saying nothing at all.
It is sad as well that Americans have no clue what is going on, in regards to the level of hate, behind the scenes.
It is sad that the Left and the Media refuse to acknowledge that there are many who think these actions are great and exactly what is needed.
It is sad that our MSM feeds this hate each and everyday. I blame the shooter and the shooter alone for these actions of today; however, the media continues to feed and push these people.
It is sad that the same politicians that were attacked today will be the ones screaming for more gun control tomorrow.

Now, when do we start fighting back?
I guess I miss read that part. I'm sure the media will leave out that aspect of this encounter. Peoples lives were saved from a good guy with a gun on the scene.
And they people on that field recognize that fact.

Lots of conjecture this morning about who was the shooter and what were his motives. The guy in the parking lot, asking if the players were Republicans or Democrats, makes one wonder if he was the shooter and if so, was he taking Hillary Clinton's advice to resist and doing so violently. of course, he could have been an Islamic terrorist or could have been a conservative pissed off at do nothing Republicans - among many others things he could have been. What he is, or is reported to be, is dead now.
Thoughts and prayers going out to the two U.S. Capitol Police who were shot as well as to Senator Scalise to the congressional staffer(s) who were shot and to the senator injured diving into a dugout to take cover. The Capitol Hill Police officers who were shot have so far been credited with bringing down the bad guy but even that may change as more info comes out.

Hopefully they realize it enough that they themselves get armed and trained.
