The statement said Hodgkinson acted alone in the shooting and that the investigation is ongoing.

Some interesting information from the report:

"Contents of the storage facility yielded a laptop computer, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, a receipt for a November 2016 gun purchase and additional SKS rifle components."

So in addition to the ammunition Hodgkinson had on his person during the shooting, he had over 200 more rounds.

"a family member of Hodgkinson reported to have received a message from him on June 12 seeking to return home to Illinois."

On June 12, two days before the shooting, Hodgkinson said that he was going to drive back to Belleville Illinois on June 14, the day of the shooting. Hodgkinson's plan was to shoot the Republicans early in the morning and then leave town.

"Hodgkinson took photographs at various sites on the National Mall and at various monuments, including the east front plaza of the U.S. Capitol, inside the visitor’s entrance of the Dirksen Senate Office Building, the front entrance of the Library of Congress, the west side of the Supreme Court, the front entrance of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Washington Monument. On April 15, Hodgkinson took multiple photographs of Eugene Simpson Stadium Park."

Hodgkinson took surveillance photos and video of various locations that Congressmen would be expected to be seen and potentially targeted.

He took numerous surveillance photos of the site of the shooting two months before the shooting occurred.

Hodgkinson was a brainwashed Democrat Party activist and operative for many years. He belonged to many Democrat and leftist activist groups, many of which advocated violence against Republicans.

After extensive target practice near his home in Illinois Hodgkinson travelled to the DC area with his guns and huge amounts of ammunition for no logical reason or purpose other than killing the Republicans he repeatedly said he hates and needs to eliminate.

The attack took place at a unique place and time when many influential Republicans would be together in a place with minimal security.

Hodgkinson had neither the intelligence nor the inside information to plan this on his own.

This was an organized mass assassination attempt.

And it almost worked.

My question is who was bankrolling Hodgekinson during the two or so months he stayed in the DC area.

....Contents of the storage facility yielded a... receipt for a November 2016 gun purchase ...

I thought a background check that Democrats clamor for and the Lautenberg Law were supposed to prevent this...

I may have to agree. Is there evidence that he took the photos? Also the baseball game is a part of beltway traditions but I doubt one in a 1000 regular folks would know about it. I am pretty caught up on stuff and I never paid attention, never really was aware of it. Also the fact it was in Va is interesting because owning a weapon like the SKS is far less likely to cause a stir than in the District. So it makes the Means easier. The weapon is interesting. Because it has an integral 10 round mag the SKS sets off no alarms. This indicates he, or someone, gave considerable thought to the type of weapon. And since reloads are done IIRC by strip loading, as in the ‘03, it takes considerable practice to do so while in a combat situation and being under fire, and it seems he did 9 or 10 reloads. Who trained him?

Agreed. And it was only a thin blue line that stopped him.

There is a radical underground in the Dem party, and all he needed was one handler. That’s who they should be looking for, Hodgkinson’s handler from:

a liberal fascist organization bent on assassinating their political opponents.

They are out there. And many of them will be identified as Muslims cultivated by Obama.Their intel net is through the mosques IMHO. Illinois and Wisconsin mosques.

Dem liberal fascist black ops also killed Seth rich. Count on it. Chicago is where they are centered.

Almost...because he couldn't hit the side of a barn.

“Extensive target practice” means lots of rounds fired for functionality and accuracy testing (reliability ,POI etc.) yet he had a hard time hitting targets (first few shots) at rock throwing distance. something dosen’t add up.

I have been curious about the weapon involved. Now it’s identified as a SKS rifle, “modified to accept a detachable magazine and the original stock was replaced with a folding stock.”

The guy thought he was marksman enough to pull something like this off? This guy got a bad hip shot on the senator on second base as the worst wound of the day!?

I hope he felt fear in the pit of his stomach and threw up in his mouth about 30 seconds before the good guys ventilated him.
