Republican politicians ambushed at baseball

[Drinkthekoolaid]

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.

Well said and I agree with everything.

Its a very sad day in many levels

I just heard a description on MSNBC of the shooter...

About 5-11, medium build blue shirt and WHITE! Yes, they were talking in a normal voice throughout the description until they got to the White part of it.

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.

I guess ever single human is a minority then, we all have a tad of mutt in us

So NBC in for the win.



NBC expert former SS agent police gun firer Pop Pop Pop. But the rifleused you flick a switch and it firer pop pop pop pop pop pop.

Im watching FOX news right now
Leland Vitters is interviewing a young guy right now.
Leland says, "you said he had an automatic rifle?"
The guy says, "I DID NOT say an automatic rifle, I said an Ak style weapon."
This kid is military I believe, he says "yes sir" "no sir" and calls guns weapons.
Now he says an Ak style, perhaps a Kalashnikov, he kniws guns at least.

Now there is a congressman saying this is the medias fault and this war agaist Trump has now turned violent in a whole new way.
Here we go!!!

That was actually a good interview. Not practiced, words straight from the heart. Very uncommon in DC.

 

[DoD1776]

Hmm. Fishy, considering how they're all republicans, winder who is really targeting. Wait hold on. Aren't guns banned in DC how did they shoot them!

Hell yes. Call them out. Expose their hate and hypocrisy.

 

[Criticalt]

Holy crap!!!
The VA governor just said we lose 93 million americans a day to gun violence!!!
Yes folks.....93,000,000 a day!!!

 

[BerettaGuy]

The Cold Civil War heats up!

What did anyone expect? The neoliberals and their unhinged unapologetic anti Trump jokes talk and pictures. Gee I wonder what the SNL skit will be on this one.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Holy crap!!!

Must be lots of Americans in those 57 states.



But seriously, it's extremely concerning that there has been a slow, steady and methodically increasing linear path on violence escalation and rhetoric coming from the left.

I wonder if this is what it felt like living in 1860.

I genuinely feel like this country is getting ready to test itself apart. I hope I'm wrong.

Damn! That means there is only about a weeks supply left.

May was a record gun sale month, June isn't over.

 

[BerettaGuy]

From Claudia Tenny's office

I received this via email today in response to the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise at my official office:

"One down, 216 to go ...

Did you not expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit. Certainly, your souls and mortality were lost long before. Good riddance."

As I said unhinged! Who was it that has been spreading this False Narrative : "Then you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit."

Hmmmmm?

If we just stand by and watch we will see a Communist revolution happen before our eyes.

You mean like this? Damn animals.

 

[BerettaGuy]

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.

Belleville Illinois is Obama Country
The shooter at the GOP congressional baseball practice this morning is James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill., according to law enforcement officials. Hodgkinson, 66, owns a home inspection business. His home inspection license expired in November 2016 and was not renewed, state records show.

Hodgkinson was charged in April 2006 with battery and aiding damage to a motor vehicle, according to online records in St. Clair County, Illinois. The charges were dismissed, records show.

I was just thinking.
Is the location of the field where senators practice baseball common knowledge?
You would think it would be kept pretty secret, especially with very little security.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Is it readily accessible public information to know when and where a bunch of congressman play baseball?

For the most part, our Members of Congress are more vulnerable and less protected than nearly all of us on this forum. They work in a very blue, ultra-progressive, anti-2A city that refuses to respect their constitutional right and the security that is provided reflects a peaceful nation where laws are generally respected and followed. Under normal routines, only a few members of Congress are provided a couple plain clothes Capital Hill police members who are within eye-sight or ear-shot for part of their day. During a recent visit to Capital Hill earlier this year, I was surprised to find the level of security afforded our elected representatives to be much much less than what I would have expected. Fortunately today, two Capital Hill police were at the ball-field and it appears they reacted quickly, were themselves injured, and they ultimately neutralized the gunman soon after he changed weapons. I understand that Capital Hill Police quickly took appropriate mitigation actions at other locations to secure leadership. Fortunately today the gunman’s first shots, using a long arm, missed his initial target from relatively close range. Congressman Scalise was a secondary target and was apparently hit from about 35 yards. The ball field had only two access / egress points and I believe a couple “good Guys with Guns” played a major role in preventing further carnage. I also believe it is un-American that it was only a coincidence that there were any "good guys with guns" at the scene.

Damn, we should be running the investigation.
It only took us 4 hours to figure that out.

@BerettaGuy

Scalise was shot by a hate filled left wing extremist! Prompted to hate by the Democratic Party who has been assisted by the lame stream media. IMO

Yup, and how did it work out for the dixie party then? Pretty well in the long run. After part II there can be no survivors left to scheme.
