A motive is still unclear, and the FBI is investigating the incident. Slater, of the FBI, said it’s too soon to say whether the GOP lawmakers were targeted in a deliberate attack. “We’re exploring all angles,” Slater said.

So. Muslim sho.ots up / bo.mbs / rams people, and it’s a mystery. Substitute ‘Leftist’ or ‘Bernout’ or ‘Dem.’ Same difference.

Suspected?

I mean really....................

[thoughtomator]

It’s a 25 minute drive to Alexandria from the George Bush Intelligence Center and the CIA.

Right! The smoke hasn’t stopped rising before the, “Terrorism is not suspected€, or the, “we are baffled€ announcement from the authorities.

What to Know About Suspected Virginia Shooter James Hodgkinson?

No. He’s dead. Good. Nuff said.

If he wasn’t targeting GOP, he was a terrible shot!

They will need to go back to his little league days to fully understand his hatred of baseball.

I see the FBI is still run by Obama with their idiocy and complete incompetence. FBI swamp drain fail. Same boss as the last boss. I am losing hope in our country.

The NYT drew the map for the shooter.

What are the odds this guy’s laptop that he surfed at the YMCA shows that article in his browser history?

[Travis McGee]

I’ll bet he left his home and wife back in IL right after he read that article. The timeline fits. The problem for an assassin is finding a low-security high-probability venue to attack. Parking a white van in DC and living in it while waiting to shoot somebody in a motorcade was near zero odds. A baseball practice field in suburban Alexandria with a YMCA for showers and Wi-Fi was PERFECT.

[Joe 6-pack]

Agreed. It would be interesting to see when/where/how this douchebag obtained his weapon. On the surface, it seems he was not particularly proficient in its use. Luckily, at least one of the police was apparently proficient in the use of his, and prevented a total bloodbath.

"Suspected shooter"?

Hello!

Does anybody at that circus have any idea what's going on?

[nobamanomore]

A motive is still unclear

All you need to read!

[tumblindice]

Some say an eye-witness, Navin R. Johnson, reported that the sniper missed him but was hitting cans of motor oil.
He apparently opposed fossil fuels and global warming.

Illinois requires a Firearms Owner's ID for ANY firearms purchase; if he brought the rifle from IL with him, it'll be real interesting to see if he had an Illinois FOID. If not, how'd he purchase a weapon in Virginia...or was it supplied to him?

And note also: The NY Times also had a story ready to go blaming the Bernie Sanders movement as being responsible for the shooting's motivation. Almost like they had it ready in advance....

[archy]

-more- Yep, he had an Illinois FOID.
