Is Kathy Griffin safe? What if someone tries to pick her off with a rifle?

What about the actors of the Trump assassination play? Aren’t they sitting ducks for a long range rifle shot?

And Atifa thugs... do they have body armor that would stop a deer rifle from 400 yards?

Could get bad

Stupid Fox Business Network. I wish I knew how to take screen shots.

At the bottom of the scree it reads:

Rep. Scalise Shot In Hip; Stocks Hit All-Time High

Idiots.

“As we were standing here this morning, a gunman walked up to the fence line and just began to shoot. I was standing at home plate and he was in the third base line,” Bishop said. “He had a rifle that was clearly meant for the job of taking people out, multiple casualties, and he had several rounds and magazines that he kept unloading and reloading.”

The shooting went on for roughly 10 minutes, with some accounts putting the number of shots fired around 100. Four people were injured, including two Capitol Hill police officers and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, of Louisiana. The suspect was also shot.

“The only reason why any of us walked out of this thing, by the grace of God, one of the folks here had a weapon to fire back and give us a moment to find cover. We were inside the backstop and if we didn’t have that cover by a brave person who stood up and took a shot themselves, we would not have gotten out of there and every one of us would have been hit — every single one of us,” said Bishop. “He was coming around the fence line and he was looking for all of us who had found cover in different spots. But if we didn’t have return fire right there, he would have come up to each one of us and shot us point-blank.”

SeeBS saying shooter targeting Republicans, suggesting it was the game, not a practice?
Maybe someone should let them know the shooter asked if it was the GOP team.

*************

There were some 15-20 members of Congress at the practice. Scalise was playing second base for the Republican team and was taking infield when the shooting began. The shooter was reportedly firing from the fence line of the baseball park in Alexandria, near the third base line, lending the potential that Scalise may have been specifically targeted. Rep. Trent Kelly, who was playing third base, and Rep. Gary Palmer, who was at shortstop, were closer to the shooter than Scalise was.

A Scalise aide and a Capitol Police officer were reportedly also hit, the Scalise aide in the chest and the policewoman in the lower leg. Rep. Roger Williams was also injured as he slid into a dugout attempting to avoid the gunfire. Williams reportedly broke his ankle. One of Williams’ staff members was reportedly also shot. As a member of House leadership, Scalise carries a security detail of two Capitol police officers. Alexandria police were reportedly on the scene within three minutes

Reportedly, I am lending the potential that this was written very fast without editing for grammar and content.

Trump has everyone scared $hitless to even say the truth (because they havent done that in so long they have forgotten how!) no one will talk to the press and they are too afraid just to make it up any more, so you get a nothing story about SOMETHING !!

Look for the Democrat propaganda machine to kick into high gear today, and try to spin this as a “Gun Safety” issue (that’s the more benign term they are using these days in place of “Gun Control” - same agenda, new name.) Also, look for the name Gabby Giffords to be repeatedly invoked in an effort to divert attention away from the fact that the shooter was deliberately targeting Republicans.

Almost exclusively, assassins, and serial killers, are either Democrats, socialists or anarchists or communists, or are severely mentally ill. Though there is considerable overlap.

At least this time, only a limited number of the MSM will assume they are Tea Party or conservatives.

in this environment of uncertainty I submit that the one thing that we can count on is Law Enforcement. Almost consistently we have reports of our Police Officers successfully bringing these incidents to a satisfactory conclusion. For this I am eternally grateful.

SeeBs also put up an AR with the label “assault rifle”.
An assault rifle is capable of fully automatic fire. Chances are about 100% this was a semi-auto modern sporting rifle.

An “immigrant” is someone in this country legally. The MSM lies every day. Trump won. The social contract is being breached.
Responsibility for this shooting can be laid at the MSM’s door step due to the MSM deluding and whipping mental defectives into a state of hysteria.
