A shooter opened fire on Congressional Republicans practicing for the annual Congressional baseball game at a baseball park in Alexandria, Virginia, Wednesday morning, injuring lawmakers, staff, and law enforcement. It is unclear at this time whether the shooter was killed or is currently in police custody.

In the wake of the shooting, lots of people on the Internet lost their minds. Several progressives even went out of their way to suggest the victims deserved to get shot because they have the wrong views on gun control, or Obamacare, or Donald Trump. Here are some of the most insane reactions to the Congressional baseball shoooting so far.

Newsweek seemed to think the most important fact about the shooting is that one of the victims supported Donald Trump:

The Atlantic‘s David Frum tweeted out a bunch of lies about Virginia’s gun laws (both state and federal law require background checks in Virginia, long guns can’t be concealed, and there’s no evidence as of yet that the shooter even had a valid concealed carry permit)

MSNBC reacted to the shooting by demanding gun control. “We have very loose gun laws around rifles, semiautomatic rifles, whatever it might be,” Clint Watts said.

HuffPost contributor Charles Clymer went on quite the rant about gun control:

-snip- Virginia Gov. Terry McAulliffe made a very interesting statement about gun violence, initially claiming that 93 million people a day lose their lives to gun violence in America:

This person says people who oppose gun control, not the progressive activist who tried to murder a bunch of Republican congressmen, are responsible for Wednesday’s shooting:

Do these morons even realize that only a gun was able to prevent even more bloodbath from occuring?

[Chgogal]

They are deplorable.

[Fido969]

Truck violence, bomb violence, knife violence... anything but blame the perp.

[RatRipper]

The Commietards aren’t going to like it when we start hating back. . . and that time is not far away.

[Afterguard]

Please, not deplorable - insane.

(Per tagline.)

He was also from Illinois, which has plenty of gun laws, can’t even buy ammo there without a special firearm owner id card (FOID).

The shooting was in a gun free zone.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED “Conservative”
by Rudyard (LFM) Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the “Conservative” began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the “Conservative” began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the “Conservative” began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the “Conservative” began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the “Conservative” began to hate.

[Chgogal]

When Hillary called 50% of the US voters "deplorable" it added to the hatred aimed at the conservatives, Trump supporters, etc. Now Hillary supports the Summer of Resistance. Words have meaning and Hillary, the DNC, MSM, Sorus (DU) funded groups and “Comedians” own this.

This morning, the attacker was incorrectly referred to as a "democratic socialist." What the Democrats have evolved into—with rogue judges, slander, intimidation and now calls for violence— is undemocratic socialism. Democratic socialism is less violent and is usually just "vote buying;" i.e., "Vote for me and I'll give you free crap."

[NormsRevenge]

Time to get some use out of all those well stocked “re-indoctrination” facilities.. or maybe a ‘new normal’ ‘rendering’ plan is in order.. moving a few community activists around might make some dents in their heads that get thru their thick skulls.

[Jarhead9297]

Misleading headline...while there have been tweets supporting the shooting I’ve not yet found a so called “personality” that’s supported the deserved to be shot language.

[RatRipper]

Wow. Summed up profoundly and very eloquently. Great writers have a knack for peering into the soul to capture what is going on inside. Thank you.

To put it with less eloquence, we are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Ain’t gonna take it no mo’.

[eyedigress]

That’s illegal.

[LouAvul]

No. I don't think so. We've put up with their incessant godless, perverted, narcissistic garbage for decades. Decades.

If a demographic that claims to cling to the sanctity of life allows their government to murder 1.5 million unborn children annually, they aren't going to respond to a politician getting shot. I don't even think we, as a group, would lift a finger if they came after our conservative neighbors.

We talk a good line. I see all kinds of chest thumping on FR, but that's as far as it's going to go.

We ceded America to Satan long ago. Nothing will change.
