Representive Mo Brooks (who is running for Sessions Senate seat now against Roy Moore)... I love love Roy Moore, but can live with Brooks who has proved to be a pretty dang good rep over time. Also Mo Brooks put out a great statement defending the 2nd after the attack... see if I can find it and put it up.

I think Judge Moore would have been better suited for FBI Director.

Would it be too much to ask that the actual shooter be blamed.   Unless and until others are implicated in his plot there is no point at all in pointing fingers or playing the but Obama nonsense.
This is not the first time nor will it be the last that something like this happens.  Blaming society, blaming certain aspects of media, etc. is intellectually dishonest.
Political assassinations are not unheard of in the USA.
That will make sense IF it is shown that the shooter is mentally deficient.

If the shooter is not mentally ill, it would make sense to follow the idea that if the shooter can be influenced into acts of violence by the specific groups that he associates with, then others that also associate with those groups will likewise be influenced to commit acts of violence. And these specific people should be acted on or monitored, as they are potential domestic terrorists.

Broad brushing who influenced the shooter, especially without proof, is intellectually dishonest.
Broad brushing that this is just another political assassination is intellectually dangerous.

Maybe, Moore is an intelligent man but not quick witted in political speak like we have grown accustomed to seeing in today's politics.

That Barb Hubbard looks dangerous.

They're all dangerous...they're all white.  I know, I'm white and dangerous. The neighbors move out of my way when I walk through the neighborhood.  lol

Probably due to the fact I've been to several Veteran's Day assemblies at local schools over the past 20 years. Instead of asking me, their kids ask my kids about what I did in the Army. Knowing them, they embellished it a bit...lol.

Pretty much any trauma victim with that long a surgical procedure and presumably multiple transfusions will go to the ICU post op.  Respiratory and renal function need to be closely monitored and further transfusion need is possible.  It is not surprising at all he is in the icu which buys you a critical listing

@Mom MD, thank you.  That makes sense.

He is being blamed.  And the liberal zeitgeist that created him should be blamed as well.  They created this monster and the blood he spilt is equally on their hands. 

That bimbo comedian Griffin who posed with the fake severed head of Trump is morally and ethically responsible here (not legally).

Yeah I felt dirty too trying to pretend to be a Liberal too.  Just never could wrap my head around their cultist...communist...hate America mindset.

I have that album (Voyage of the Acolyte).

hahaha a person of discerning taste. Genesis was one of the better rock bands and  solo recording artist careers of the 1970s.

The tracks of VotA are named after, or with reference to, the Minor and Major Trumps of the Tarot card deck, heh heh Trumps.

He doesn't even have "Student Service" listed by his name.  EVERYONE had that in yearbooks from those years.

He did less than nothing in HS.....   :shrug:

Of course he did less than nothing. Have you ever met a home inspector that wasn't less than nothing?

That's what I thought.  It's pretty routine to take post-op patients to ICU, and I'm sure with the severity of his wounds, this is why he's listed as critical.

The left doesn't grasp the concept of either morality or ethics.  They won't connect the vile Griffin with this shooting.

They'll only blame guns.

The left doesn't grasp anything other than a push for gun control and will never ever see their responsibility in this; false accusations against the GOP/Trump, Russians hacking in the election, the GOP/Trump being racists, GOP/Trump being against the Muslim religion ... and let's not forget the GOP consists of nothing but angry, rich, Christian white guys!  I'm still waiting for a statement from Bernie!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

But of course, the Left blamed Gabby Giffords' shooting on Sarah Palin.

I've been meaning to write an essay on this topic.

People seem to have forgotten the difference between reasons and blame.

Waving a wad of cash around in the ghetto might get you an above-average chance of getting mugged.

The mugger is to blame, yet the reason is your behavior. Mentioning the latter doesn't mean you're blaming.

I've been heads-down at work all day and just skimming the headlines, so forgive me is this has already been addressed but I didn't see it...

What's the scoop with Hodgkinson’s wife?  I'm assuming they're still married, as the reports I have seen call her his wife and not his ex-wife.  Did she not know what he had been up to over the past couple of months?  Is she being questioned for any helpful information?
