Looks like it was practice for a game to benefit disadvantaged kids.  Geez...

Unfortunately, this could as easily be someone from the alt-right who decided to do something about those treasonous RINOs in Congress.

Heard a couple of congressmen interviewed.  They had left a few minutes early, and on their way out were asked by an average looking middle aged white guy if those were Republicans or Democrats.

Since Scalise was an apparent target, I have a feeling this shooter knew what he was doing.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

UNDER ATTACK: House Majority Whip Scalise And His Staff Have Been Shot



Quote

Republican Congressman and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot early Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia while practicing for the Congressional baseball game at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park. A number of staffers and Congressmen from the Republican team were targeted. Scalise was shot in the hip and is reportedly in stable condition. His staffers and two Capitol Police officers were also shot. One of the officers was shot in the chest. At least five people were hit.

I get the feeling we will be asked to "understand his rage" rather than condemn the reasons for the shooting

This is an event that has been ongoing for decades and it appears to be played in a public park rather than a stadium?  It would seem with all the tension it should have been moved to a stadium with security at the entrances and exits. The article states that he has a security detail.  If they were there they did a really crappy job.  I am very thankful no more were hurt. 

So ... it seems that the attack on conservatives is well underway.  Liberals couldn't win at the polls, so they continue to attack in the streets, only this time with rifle power.  Lord help us.

Unfortunately the absolute worst of both sides are in control and stirring for a fight. This leads the nuts to act like the moron who went in and shot up the DC pizza place while searching for the child sex slaves of the pizzagate nutjobbery.

Who is responsible for this vile and violent attack?  This can not be a "random" act of violence.

The Rats have their supporters whipped into a frenzy of hate and murder just to raise money and support their shitty ideas. This shooting was just a matter of time.

Let's cool it with the speculation until the facts are known. All I ever heard from right wing talk radio is "let's wait until we have all the facts." Notice how I did not use "conservative talk radio". I'm convinced that there is no "conservative" talk radio anymore, and that includes Rush and Hannity. There's always an exception, such as Mark Levin.

Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher were having an orgy of speculation this morning. It was really painful to listen to, and they were feeding off each other. Within a 30 second span, they brought Madonna, the theatre in Central Park, and Kathy Griffin into the conversation, as if they aided and abetted the shooter...they were convinced that the shooter was out to kill Republicans, and that may be true. Naturally, they speculated on the media coverage had the victims been Democrats.

Enough already! The incident occurred about an hour previous to that conversation. Beam me up, Scotty!

A great point lost on the broadcast "professionals" this morning.

I'm in shock.

Prayers for the Congressman and all involved.



This is MADNESS!!!
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

Good statement.

And they're aided and abetted by cable news channels more than willing to give them their 15 minutes of fame, and hours of programming to fill.
