GOP Baseball Suspect Committed ‘Terrorism’ ‘Fueled By Rage Against Republican Legislators’
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/06/2017 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 10/06/2017 3:22:48 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

The left-wing Bernie Sanders supporter who opened fire on a crowd of Republican congressmen in June intentionally committed an “act of terrorism” that was “fueled by rage against Republican legislators,” according to a new report released by the state’s attorney on Friday.

The suspect, 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson, picked the baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia as his target months in advance of the shooting, according to the report. Hodgkinson was also seen watching the Republicans practice for the congressional baseball game the day before the shooting, where he shot and wounded four people, including Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise.

“The evidence in this case establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect, fueled by rage against Republican legislators, decided to commit an act of terrorism as that term is defined by the Code of Virginia. See Va. Code §18.46.4,” Bryan L. Porter wrote in the report.

The Daily Caller was the first to report last June that Hodgkinson had a list of Republican congressmen in his pocket at the time of the shooting, a fact the FBI later confirmed.

All shootings are done by:

1) muslims (which are democrats)
2) democrats

Fascinating.

If we outlaw the two groups, shootings will stop!

“The suspect asked them whether the practice was for the Republican or Democratic team. They responded that it was for the Republican team. The suspect said ‘ok, thanks’ and walked away,” the report states, adding that Hodgkinson then retrieved his guns from his van.

Gosh...I sure hope the FBI helped find this out.
I’d hate to see that they had been sitting on this for months, hoping no one looked closer at it.

This leftwing mass shooter was radicalized by CNN and the rest of the lefwing media. The Las Vegas shooter was probably radicalized by CNN also, enough to where he felt justified in abandoning his own country to serve a foreign ideology.

“NY Times Tipped Off Shooter to GOP Practice Field Around Time He Moved to Area”

Jim Hoft Jun 14th, 2017 7:41 pm 464 Comments

Republican Representative Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, and two Capitol Police were shot during baseball practice on Wednesday morning.

Scalise was shot in the hip and tried to drag himself off the field after he was shot.

The shooter, James T. Hodgkinson was a Bernie supporter who was obsessed with Trump-Russia conspiracy theories. He is now dead.

The New York Times tipped off the GOP shooter on the GOP baseball practice field in an April article.

Just whose side is FBI on?
Oh yea, now I remember...

1. ..the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch.

2. ..the FBI Hostage Negotiator at Ruby Ridge, was “surprised and shocked” at the ROE, the most severe rules he had ever heard in ...
