BREAKING: Multiple shot at Congressional baseball practice

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

If you look in the faces of These hate mongering AntiFa thugs, you know that it will only get worse. Driven crazy by the media and Dems (Russia Russia Russia LIES!), more and more normal people get radicalized on BOTH sides!

BOTH SIDES DO IT

That's what I said but only one side is reported, the other one is far more dangerous (look at Berkeley!) and is liked by the media...

And don't forget the drug addicted AntiFa idiot who punched Richard Spencer - and there were Atlas users with the GiF in their signature...

You're just going to ignore all the people killed by Trump supporters this year?

All zero of them?

Portland, Kansas, NYC etc. don't real?

You mean the Bernie supporter who stabbed everyone in Portland?

At his arraignment on May 30, Christian began yelling a variety of slogans as soon as he entered the courtroom, screaming: "Get out if you don't like free speech. You call it terrorism, I call it patriotism. You hear me? Die."[15][23] He also yelled "Leave this country if you hate our freedom — death to Antifa!"[23]
Also nice job ignoring the two other examples

It was a crazy man with a gun. Trying to make this a left vs right fight is pathetic.

This is horrible.

Also, a general suggestion to everyone: don't immediately play politics with something like this.  We don't know anything about the shooter.  He might be a leftist, or he might be an anarchist.  For all we know, he's a Trump voter.  But no matter what he is, it doesn't matter--this is wrong.

Any infos about the motives of the terrorist?

Apparently he asked if they were Reps or Dems before he shot, so apparently anti-Republican. Don't know if this claim is valid but it is being reported. Maybe he was leftist or anarchist, possibly a disgruntled vet if he was a middle aged guy with weapons training but that is just suspect profiling on my part. Will update if I hear more.

Even though we don't know the motive, people on the left preemptively making the disingenuous argument that anarchists aren't leftists.

Yeah, he'll just deflect and try to rile you up like the edge lord that he is.

[MasterJedi]

Got to love it, for 8 years the right played up on how we need good guys with guns to take out the "evil libtards", promoted violence for years against Obama and others but now it might have happened on the other side and they're "enraged".  It's sickening no matter what, shouldn't happen to either side.

There were good guys with guns though, the US Capitol Police was there.

Correct, as I said it's disgusting when it happens, whether that be a congressman or a regular person.

i don't share susan's level of cynicism or edginess but it's quite exhausting to live through such events year after year after year and never see any kind of change.

I won't argue it one way or the other, they can be both sides of the spectrum. Let's try to focus on the topic and not go back and forth on the side issues.

[Reaganfan]

Rep. Roger Williams was also shot. No update on his condition.

Damn. Hopefully this doesn't get worse.

You are completely correct, this is very sad. We must be thankful to the Lord, however that nobody was killed, that we know of.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Steve Scalise who told a group of Neo-nazis he was "David Duke without baggage"? Interesting.

Also interesting how people forget that Trump called for Hillary's assassination last year and associates with the likes of Ted Nugent who called for Obama and HRC to be hung.

Coincidence? Probably so, but I'm not sure. How would that person know if Congress was supposed to talk about guns at all today?

However, the need for stricter gun restrictions has been long overdue and this incident just further proves why. No I am not saying taking away the 2nd amendment is the answer, but just make it more difficult for crimes like these being caused.

i certainly don't have a lot of sympathy for a vile piece of trash like scalise ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

If we ever wanted to know what's wrong with our country, just read some of the posts in this thread.

People were shot, and some people here are bringing up politics.

The shooting of a member of congress is an explicitly political act

Yeah, this guy would have surely given up his weapon :-D

"Gun control" is a myth and only benefits the criminals who have always weapons.

Portland? You mean the Bernie guy on the bus?

Jeremy Joseph Christian held extremist views, posting neo-Nazi, antisemitic, and far-right material on social media,[27][28] as well as material indicating an affinity for political violence.[10] Christian described himself as a white nationalist.[29] In April 2017, Christian wrote, "I just Challenged Ben Ferencz (Last Living Nuremberg Persecutor)(sic) to a Debate in the Hague with Putin as our judge. I will defend the Nazis and he will defend the AshkeNAZIs [a reference to European Jews]".[30] He had praised Timothy McVeigh in an online posting on April 19, the anniversary of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing;[28][31] he also "posted conspiracy theory memes from the right-wing Alex Jones Channel".[28]
Also again. interesting to see you ignore the other two examples
