Gunman targeted congressional baseball practice 'to kill as many Republican members as possible'

Shortly after the shooting Wednesday morning at a congressional baseball practice, Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) told NBC News that it appeared the "gunman was there to kill as many Republican members as possible." Walker, who was at the practice for the upcoming annual congressional baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, confirmed he was "shaken but okay."

Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) recounted an "odd" encounter he had as he was leaving the field just minutes before the shooting: "There was a guy that walked up to us that was asking whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there, and it was just a little odd," DeSantis told Fox News.

Multiple people, including Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), two Capitol Hill police officers, and a congressional aide, were reportedly injured.

The FBI says it doesn’t know anything about the attack, weapon, who was targeted, who the shooter was! The FBI knows nothing!

Last week, or was it the week before, when the nutcase in Portland was on a rampage knifing people and yelling crap, you could see the disappointment on the faces of the ABCNNBCBS talking heads when they learned he was a Sanders supporter and not some ‘right wing nut’..................

It didn’t take long for McAuliffe to go after guns!

But what would a civil war today look like?

The American Army has MUCH MORE fierce weapons than in the 1860s.

Did the army split back then to north and south? Did we have a big army at the time?

What will our current army do?

Where will the battlefields be.

Would I and others be the “resistance” in NY?

Scary stuff.

Michael Moore and Hollywood ‘elites’ are raising money for the shooter - he’s their hero.

Loretta Lynch’s video calling for blood in the streets.

Remember that? Obama’s ATTORNEY GENERAL?

You gotta wonder what role the resistance is following here - seems like the 60s again.

What happened then has no bearing now, since it’s a whole new world we live in.

The ‘battlefields’ would be the street s of NY, Chicago, Boston, Philly, LA and Atlanta.

The cities would be cut off from food and energy, inducing mass exodus or starvation.

The Road Warrior scenario would be apropos..............

Watching on the teley, and here comes Terry Terry McAuliffe. Let’s see what that pr*ck has to say.

Like Pelosi and a few others, he did not disappoint.

93,000,000 people A DAY (his stress) are killed by guns.

No, he did not immediately correct himself. Someone else nearby corrected him...

Shooter from Belleview, Illinois. J.T. Hutchinson.

Went by what I heard on TV. Actually, J.T. Hutchinson.

My error! This is how sh*t gets started. Mis-reporting! Mea culpa!
