Riiiiiiight.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

This is from AP. Most likely it’s not true.

[Siouxz]

Oh. Come. On.

[NativeNewYorker]

[wally_bert]

Nothing to see here, move along.

[Gay State Conservative]

Let me guess....the Richmond Police Benevolent Association endorsed Hussein?

[Williams]

THIS one was resolved and national story debunking it, but all the others are right wing terrorist attacks.

See how quickly they dealt with any threat to their agenda, meanwhile all the others are lumped together as completely valid?

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Mmmmkay.

[ClearCase_guy]

Does Arlen Spector have a magic bullet theory to help explain this?

[Sarah Barracuda]

So I guess the attacks on the Dem offices are random too..if the left wanna play that game

[cradle of freedom]

You don’t reckon that Richmond has a Democrat government?

[dead]

Bullets that hit Democratic Party buildings are fired by Christian, Tea Party, anti-choice, meat-eating, racist lunatics.

Bullets that hit Republican Party buildings fall innocently from the marshmallow clouds in the sky.

[windsorknot]

The bullet was fired up then it fell sideways.

[bigbob]

Probably a “celebratory” bullet from Sunday night that just took it’s sweet time coming down...right?

[Retired Greyhound]

“Richmond police said that the bullet had been fired into the air early Tuesday”

And it didn’t hit his office until Wednesday?

[Williams]

OK, I read this the bullet went in the office window, it’s not that police found who fired the “random” shot, this is all based on the angle.

Richmond has its problems, but is there a lot of random gunfire in the vicinity of office buildings?

[Joe 6-pack]

"In a news release, Richmond police said that the bullet had been fired into the air early Tuesday."

With very, very few exceptions, all bullets are "fired into the air."

This one was fired into the water but didn't go very far...

[skimbell]

Probably the brother to the magic bullet that tore around Kennedy's limo in Dallas. Hit JFK twice, Connelly twice, couple of passes through the seats/dashboards etc. and finally winds up on the gurney in the hospital next to Kennedy looking like it was just taken out of a box of new ones.

No phakin way can they say that round was random unless they go:

Shot at deemocraps=Domestic terror/Hate group/Uncivilized

Shot at Republican=Random

[Vigilanteman]

Reminds me of the punchline from that old joke from the 1960’s when a southern sheriff pulled a black man’s body out of a pond with chain wrapped around him and multiple stab wounds and bullet holes: “Wust case of suicide I ever done seen!!”
