Is there any word as to motivation?
It does not seem as if anyone had a reason to shoot this particular individual, or his aide. I could understand it if someone was pot shotting Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, or The President himself, because all of these people have made very justly angry enemies over the years. Sessions tried like stink to suppress the civil rights movement, Pence is a homophobic piece of dirt, and Trump pisses just about everyone he ever did business with, right off.
But this fellow... I know of no particular thing which would invite the necessary ire for someone to shoot him with a rifle in such a manner. Anyone have any idea what might have motivated this, beyond the casual assumptions and weak tribalism people usually blame for this sort of activity (despite simplistic explanations of complex problems being invariably inaccurate)?
Wow you are disgusting.
People shot and you giving justification as to why people deserved it.
Way to show your true colors.
Taking Hi Moral ground? Ignoring whole nations decimated in "Wars of Terror", yah, I kinda see foggy too.

How many people here were aware of the charity game, that it was coming up, when practices were scheduled to happen?
I am just curious as to how the shooter had planned this. It doesn't seem like a random attack. There must have been some research and planning that was involved.

He asked if they were Republicans or Democrats in the parking lot before he started shooting.

So now liberals openly ask us if we are Conservative "Republican" then open fire? ????? The civil war is on. It's about time Conservatives wake up and realize liberals want us dead...they want our kids dead...they want to erase any memory of our belief system. We lose this battle we lose the future and effectively enslave mankind to liberal philosophy

Who benefits the most from this attack?
My money is on the MSM.
We'll see how things develop, but sensational violence will dominate the news today.
That means ratings go up.
