BREAKING: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, multiple aides shot at Congressional baseball practice

I was half listening to Pelosi and Ryans comments.

Granted I didn't listen to carefully, but both seemed to not be political and wish the victims well.

Thank you. I'm heart broken by this. Then to come on here and all but get blamed for it by my fellow members. Well .
I think this is a horror.

Shut up Silly. We're terrorists.

Get it straight.

Yes they were not political I guess they are keeping the standard of Trump earlier address.

I hope they can find a common ground after this attack to government officials.

Bullsh#t, weak minds are responsible, are you suggesting there is some kind of media campaign that will make you try to kill people..not me.

Sadly, we have too many celebrating the shooting for any talk of unity to be realistic.

It's just the way things are.

I'm glad the guy is dead and I hope everyone injured recovers quickly.

One of my friends mothers is best friends with the guys wife. They had no clue what was going on, except that he hated Trump. This is spreading like wildfire in our town.

I think "Moderate Liberals" is more fitting.

Pelosi said sports bring us together. She's never been to a soccer game.

Jesus...

Now a couple leftists in this thread are trying to deflect by bringing up "white supremacists" and claiming that they are "right wing".

So sick...

Participants in Alt-Left militant groups (Antifa, BLM, the occupy terrorists, et al) outnumber "white supremacists" by what -- 100-to-1?

I wonder if these leftists realize that most of the minuscule number of "white supremacists" in this country are NAZIS. That is an ideology founded and steeped in national SOCIALISM. They DO NOT support the Bill of Rights as constitutional conservatives like me do.

Dylan Roof WAS NOT a Republican.

Jared Laughner was an Obama supporter.

Nidal Hasan was an America-hating Moslem.

Of the dozens of murders in Chicago every month, how many of those killers do you think vote Republican?

I won't even get into that "90%" figure some of us are familiar with concerning gun violence and political affiliation...

And BTW -- Bernai Sanders just came out and admitted that the VA shooter was one of his campaign volunteers...

Yes its official he was targeting Republicans,Congressman Jeff Duncan said in the news. Base on the few spoken words of the shooter before targeting Republicans.

It was live in the news.

End of story.

I do not doubt he was targeting republicans. But why? What are his motivations?

Before we blame the media and such, shouldn't we get more info?

Blaming this on a narrative built by the MSM is simply lazy.

He was very active on FB. And I think his motive is plain after reading through four years of it. You should really read through it for some insight. He had two FB accounts, I read through the 'James Hodgkinson' one.

BTW, I haven't even read any of the MSM reporting, so far.

I do not doubt that his motivations may have been political.

But I think I'll wait till more comes out before I jump on my own political hate bandwagon.

Usually when you have to tell everybody how great the thing you're doing is, it's not actually that cool.

But I'm glad you two were able to hug it out.

Might want to re-read my last sentence in that post. You apparently missed it.

introvert and Silllyolme, using the victimized card doesn't look good on either of you.

So cut it off.

From what I've READ...sounds like a neckbeard to me. A LIBERTARIAN or one of THOSE screwball sovereign guys possibly...they hate ANYTHING government.

Rabid Bernie supporter...

That's already been established.

Last time I looked it were the right-wingers that were all up in arms (literally) when the decent folks, like Bernie supporters, suggested banning fire-arms. They often suggest that the Government should be afraid of their citizens, hence the need for guns. Well, somebody got himself a gun and used it against a member of his Government. Dig this: if that person would not have been able to get a gun, nobody would have been shot.

But I guess it's all right for the left-wingers to be afraid of right-wingers, but not vice versa, right..

Did the shooter die?

Yes, he did.

Unlike some at least Bernie Sanders has come out to condemn the shooter who volunteered to work on his campaign.
Unfortunately for Bernie, his supporters seem to be very violent.. perhaps he should consider dialling down his own rhetoric.

Check out Nancy Pelosi's statement - very odd.

Hey the redneck and I have stuck up for you.

But lets not pretend that even on this thread there are people making excuses for this attack, or saying other republicans like Trump and sessions are terrible and somehow more deserving of being shot.

You seem to focus all of your time denouncing people for lumping all liberals in this basket (which I agree with you) but have yet to comment on these people on the left making this horrible comments.
