BREAKING! Congressman Steve Scalise, Aides shot at baseball practice

[TomSea]

Let's get back to the tragedy but when some members who seem to bring up hearsay about FR members all of a sudden take the so-called moral highroad, it needs to be called out. It was no problem to politicize other cases.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup, who is a physician, said he treated Scalise, who had a hip injury, at the scene

Female Cap Hill Police Officer took the shooter down...she was shot in her ankle...and still returned fire..

In my experience, women are just as good with weapons as men are. Ask anyone who was on a rifle team in college.

It's a little trickier when it comes to infantry...packing an 80 lb rucksack makes it a bit more difficult.

I think and I pray I'm wrong, but we may be in the beginnings of a second Civil War.

No.

[sneakypete]

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

@Oceander

Why is it that I detect a faint whiff of "I HOPE,I HOPE!" in the background? Are  you really that disappointed that JEB is out?

You clearly hate conservatives more than you hate the left.

[catfish1957]

No.

IF we have another '08 ish crash or worse, I bet we do.

[sneakypete]

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

@Restored

Naw,he is a white guy. White guys have privilege,not rage.

If he were black there would be a national day of pity party declared.

The Capitol Police - going pistol against long gun and winning.
That's hardcore.
God bless all our LEOs!

I've been hearing this from assorted nutjobs on the internet since I started posting about politics on the net. Never happens.

Normies don't get as pissed as the internet screamers do about this crap.

[sneakypete]

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

@LottieDah

The DNC and the media.

Good luck getting them charged as accomplices.

[libertybele]

Ridiculous!!! ...."members of Congress can’t keep a loaded gun with them to protect themselves and others as they walk around Capitol Hill. Members may keep firearms in their offices, but have to unload them bullets in order to transport their weapons anywhere else on Capitol grounds, according to U.S. Capitol Police regulations..."

When liberals cheer the mock execution of a Republican president, why would anyone be surprised by nutjob targeting GOP?

Shut up and wait for facts, Ms. Burlingame.

@Sanguine

Those ARE facts.

[skeeter]

Exactly.....

With CNN personnel holding a severed POTUS had, and a play in NY showing a nightly POTUS assassination, I think the left has agreed that it is open season on Republicans

Who didn't see this coming.

Fox interviewing a witness; so the YMCA where this occurred even got shot at.

Some ugly stuff on Twitter from the left- talking about karma for "NRA Tea Party" Scalise. Also calling for gun control, of course.

[sneakypete]

Good statement.

The rats are going off on Virginia gun laws while there's still blood on the ground.

@CatherineofAragon

Not just the guns in Virginia. One was already speaking when I turned on my tv,and the teebee talking head babe were agreeing that "somthing needs to be done about getting the 3 million guns in this country under control!"

Pres Trump to make statement on shooting incident. Awaiting announcement of time and place.

[sneakypete]

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.

So far the only decent FB post I've seen on the matter.

The shootings this morning not far from where I live ought to remind us of what really matters. The pettiness, the partisanship and anger that have poisoned our politics all of a sudden don't matter when something like this happens. We should all learn a lesson from this. Members of the other party are not our enemies. They are our fellow Americans. If you want an enemy make it ISIS, or the Taliban. They want to destroy us. Why are we helping them?

[Cripplecreek]

A little levity is needed.



So not only are the officers expected to survive the shooting, they're also expected to survive Pete Williams reports.

Fox interviewing a witness; so the YMCA where this occurred even got shot at.

Should we hold a moment of silence?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I'm gonna guess this is some garden variety nutjob like the bald freak who shot giffords.

Not the result of any partisan vitriol.

[sneakypete]

Did they say some relative of Joe Biden was there.

@TomSea

Why would a Biden be there? It was the Republican baseball team practicing,not the Dims.

Of course given that it is a Biden we are talking about,he or she may not have known where they were or why they were there,so I guess it is possible.
