Rep. Mark Walker says gunman [wanted] 'to kill as many Republican members as possible'
theweek ^ | 6/14/17

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.

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.

I am against “hate crimes” in general but if that is not a hate crime ,then what is?

Enforce the law.

I share Rockitz’s opinion that Obama was the most divisive President ever and fueled this.
God help our nation.
MAGA
Thank you.

The face of evil!

Clearly demonically possessed as well.

“The Hillary campaign hired a company who admittedly used mentally unstable people to commit violet acts at Trump rallies.”

Link?

Name of company?

Thank you...

Lines are there, just not continuous. Instead there are circles around cities. Boundaries are the suburbs.
Bit of 2 lines to hold mid-NY/east Penn down just past DC and on the west coast. Otherwise
We contain the top 20 metropolitan areas. Circle and contain...Chicago/Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, etc

Keep’em bottled up, rest will be fine.

Maybe you need to work on your communication skills. If it was just me then I’m the “bonehead”. 3 is a trend my friend.

All murders and attempted murders are hate crimes.

The penalty is severe enough.

You don’t need to bother with stupid ‘hate crime’ laws.

Look up “Project Veritas”. It is run by James O’Keefe. He is the same person who exposed Planned Parenthood. Scott Foval is the name of the person who made the statement.

Project Veritas has also exposed amitted voter fraud and the leaders of Antifa. Some are now facing extensive prison terms.

Possibly for this audience and in this environment. Sadly, no one reads. Everyone just reacts. I suspect that I was in Trump’s corner earlier than 95% of FReepers. He was always in my top 2 in the primaries and after Walker dropped I was an unwaivering pro-Trumper.

Sorry, you’re still a bonehead.

Charity events are generally reported via local news.

They don’t bother to read or review anything prior to shooting off their mouths. Pretty sad huh?

But not a single death from a rifle.

I find that strange especially when reports are that many rounds were fired.

This is the name in one of the articles posted on this thread The gunman has since been identified by law enforcement as James T. Hodgkinson, a 66-year-old white male from Belleville, Ill.

Yeah, I know, I was just cracking a joke about "Commander Dragonlord". It's a YouTube thing.

UPDATE: They now say the Bernie Sanders-inspired mass shooter was fed on HATE from Rachel MadCow! Huh, no surprises here!

The US national HATE Media and Democrats are DIRECTLY to blame for the shooting of the Congressional Republicans! Within the last month two artistic works have drawn criticism for imagined violence against Trump. In May, comedian Kathy Griffin apologized for a photo where she held a mask of a bloody, severed Trump head after a major backlash where CNN cut ties with her. More recently, a production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” depicted a Trump-like figure who was assassinated. The president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter highlighted another user’s tweet that said, “Events like today are EXACTLY why we took issue with NY elites glorifying the assassination of our President,” soon after shots were fired at Republican congressmen during a baseball practice.

FOR SHAME!!

My Congress Critter received an email right after the shooting that said 1 down and 217 more to go.
