What Lefty gets up that early in the morning?
Maybe shooter got idea from NYC Trump assasination play.
He may have been targeting the Republicans who were practicing. The gunman pulled the trigger but the MSM handed him the gun.
Update:
Scalise and his security detail were targeted.
One of the security detail took down the shooter.
A doped up one.
Sounds like the Democrats have reactivated Klan tactics
‘Some nut’ explains the state of mind, but does not explain the motive.
It was the baseball field at the YMCA in Alexandria Virginia. There isn’t much room to put someplace to play baseball in metropolitan Washington D.C. It is not as though they have to hold all of their gatherings in a secure, undisclosed locations.
Thanks for posting.
“The gunman pulled the trigger but the MSM handed him the gun.”
Couldn’t agree more.
Ron DeSantis (Florida rep) said someone had walked up and asked if they were Republicans or Democrats shortly before the shooting started. He said he is not sure if that was the shooter but he did report it.
Was Scalise causing problems for Hillary? And Im being 100% serious here.
Update:
Reports that shooter asked one of those present if Republicans or Democrats were participating.
Of the 3, Antifa would be my guess.
white man targeting repubs... dims unhinged
Rand Paul was there and said “Had the capitol police not been on the scene it would have been a massacre.”
so I'm waiting to find out the motive...
If Trump had a ball hanging, he would go after the AntiFa movement with a RICO suit. They are DNC-funded terrorists.
