ON TRUMP'S BIRTHDAY: Shooting at GOP baseball practice in Virginia

[brocktonblockbust]

These are the first shots of the American Civil War Revisited the shooter was a left-wing liberal who went up to the gate behind the baseball field and asked if the baseball practice was for republicans Senators congressmen or for Democrats period he then proceeded on to the Third Base Line and emptied at least four full clips trying to take out as many Republican Senators and representatives as possible before he was shot by Washington DC capitol police and arrested. The constant narrative from the alt left of violence and cutting off the heads of the president and Republican Senators and blowing up the White House has finally taking its toll these are the first shots of the Civil War

Let's see the facts haven't come out just yet but I'm going to say we're probably dealing with a delusional (are there any other kind?) hardcore leftist and not a Militant Muslim.

....luckily it's not a Jihadi because I think the aim would have been better, but hey we'll wait and see.




It was not too long ago when Gabby Giffords was shot (by an insane person) that the mainstream media said "The rhetoric is too violent, too extreme, we need to tone it down" meanwhile since Trump has been President he's been portrayed as being shot by Snoop Dogg, decapitated by Kathy Griffin, stabbed to death by Shakespeare in the park as part of their take on Julius Caesar, burned in effigy, made into lord knows how many pinatas....but hey I guess it's totally fine if this kind of thing happens to Republicans why?


The answer is as simple as it is cynical....it'll get people talking about gun control AGAIN.

From the Washington Post

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.

Aren't you boys always waffling on about - "if the victims/bystanders had guns?"

How come the old biddy wasn't wiped out before getting off 50 rounds? Luckily he was blind.

There WAS an aide with a .22 and he fired 8 shots at the shooter, ALLOWING 7 Congressman to temporarily run behind the backstop/dugout THEREBY PREVENTING THE MASSACRE OF 35 Congressmen. @Fenster

Thankfully the Capitol Police were there and good guys with guns stopped the bad guy with a gun.

Damn shame and exactly what we do not want or need. First tinfoil hat host on local radio initially mouthed off about it was possibly related to N.O monuments being removed too easily . That kind of bat shit conspiratorial nonsense we see more and more that can feed these. The guy lived in his van waiting for targets of opportunity busy raging on the net it sounds. And fortunately couldn't shoot for shit but not for lack of trying.

what's amazing is there would have been zero security in place had Scalise not been there and those two officers absolutely shut him down. Make those two stars!Unfortunately sounds like Scalise took much more damage than initially thought.

He had a rifle much longer range than a pistola
