I’ll say Jackass was possibly inappropriate however everything you listed as reasons to not work out are what are called excuses. If you have time to sit on your duff for 30 minutes you have time to fit in a workout.

"His social media amounts to extended screed against Trump."

I hope somebody copies and preserves these before Twitter and Facebook send them down the memory hole.

Deleted my FB years ago. Apologies.

If this guy is from Illinois, how did he know about a baseball practice of Republicans @ 7 am TODAY and KNOW WHERE IT WAS? Let alone have weapons/ammo transported?

How did the perp get/access the public info about the practice? Did the perp go out and look for the info? Or was the info given to the perp.

And VA GOV asserts the US loses 93 million people a year to gun violence. WTH?!

“The left is celebrating this on twitter.”

This does not surprise me in the least. The insane lefties are worthless low-life trash.

It tells me the people started running and taking cover.

At sixty to ninety feet you should hit more than that by accident. The man was not a skilled shooter. They just identified the shooter, Illinois man named James Hodgkinson.

Good questions...that we may never get answers to.

Or maybe we will.

61? Heard 66 years old on CNN.

Either way, the narrative will now shift to keeping guns away from the elderly.

Are they really?

Yes they are, and I can't believe I am having to explain this to someone on FR. The former was an innocuous graphic on a political activism map showing areas that needed attention that election cycle. The latter is a concerted effort by the left to demonize their opposition. They have ignored, or excused physical violence against Conservatives. They have ramped up the violent rhetoric, which has translated in to violent acts against not only people that disagree with them, but people that they perceive as disagreeing with them (as in liberal professors who are attacked becasue they are white). This effort has given birth to movements like BLM and Antifa, are "justified" in their violence becasue Conservatives and the likes are less than human in their eyes.

If one can't tell the difference then I posit that one is part of the problem.

If the dugout was partially below field level

Fox holes without weapons are just graves.

Hodgkinson campaigned for Sanders in Iowa while the Vermont lawmaker was running for the Democratic presidential nomination last year, the Washington Post reports.

Charles Orear, 50, of St. Louis, who worked alongside him, called Hodgkinson a passionate progressive who showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.

Bingo.

For that many rounds vs number of people hit, this guy was no real shooter. At all.
