General Man with Rifle opens fire on GOP congressmen at baseball practice

[drjones]

The guy talked to some of the congressmen first, asked one of them if they were republicans or democrats, then opened fire with maybe 50-60 shots.

House Rep. Steve Scalise shot but i think he is stable. Thankfully it seems like the guy was a lousy shot.

Rand Paul - first there was one isolated shot, then there was 5-10 more, Scalise was down and trying to drag himself to safety, then more and more shots hitting the dirt around other people that went prone when the shots started

 

[drjones]

suspect in custody (bbc is saying he is dead), scalise was shot in the hip and is stable, one or more of his aides may have been hit too but no news on them since they arent congressmen so fuck em eh?

female police officer(?) possibly shot too per witness account

edit - scalise, an aide, 2 police officers, and the shooter were all shot

Well, the left-wing creator of the wire did say that they need to take up bricks and kill right-wingers.

The republic is falling.

Let's save the partisan bullshit until we're sure everyone (not including the gunman) is alive and safe.

How is that partisan when I belong to neither party? I was just repeating what a famous left-leaning person said recently. Gives a look into the mindset at play.

If the congressman was carrying a rifle this wouldnt have happened.

The aide should have had a hand gun, at least.

Maj Whip was there with detail & there was a gunfight.

suspect was an older looking guy with a white beard

i have heard several people saying it might have been ten minutes before they took the guy down and could get to the wounded

crazy huh? if you are part of "party leadership" you get an armed detail, so one of the team members just happens to be part of leadership so his detail is there. if not for that this guy would have had several minutes of uncontested firing...

@JohnyHendricksBeard did you see this brother?

Who's behind it R or D?

I did.

Details are just coming out. If the guy was asking people what political affiliation they had before deciding who to shoot it definitely sounds politically motivated. With the pro-left, anti-right hate that's been encouraged over the past few months I'm not surprised motherfuckers.

Okay keep me in the loop as things develop please

 

[drjones]

there is plenty of venom spewed by both political parties and their supporters towards the other side, how about we blame the crazy fucking asshole that shot at people? its not the guns fault, its not his parents fault, and it isnt one political party's fault.

 

[drjones]

from witnesses - "short fat guy, 5' 8"'ish, shorts and a t-shirt, scraggly beard"

sounds like the shooter might be jeffrey "jeff" albertson...

[BeardOfKnowledge]

You said you're center-right. If you live in Australia you've probably never seen a right wing party. You guys are the nanny state political leaders dream about.
