Report: Shooter opens fire on GOP congressmen at baseball practice - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Perrine;52359141]not kill innocent people[/QUOTE] GOP Congress members are not innocent. In fact, they are the problem. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Condoning terrorism, mass shooting of Republicans" - Big Dumb American))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;52359272]GOP Congress members are not innocent. In fact, they are the problem.[/QUOTE] They still don't deserve to be gunned down in cold blood.

[QUOTE=geel9;52359261]I don't think that's unilaterally true. The government can "peacefully" subdue the nation for a long time. The government only has to get violent when the populace becomes violent -- which according to you cannot happen until the government becomes violent.[/QUOTE] Figure of speech so to speak. We're nowhere near the time where violence may be warranted. This petty shit is indefensible.

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;52359272]GOP Congress members are not innocent. In fact, they are the problem.[/QUOTE] so you fix it by shooting them?

[QUOTE=Flapjacks;52359286]They still don't deserve to be gunned down in cold blood.[/QUOTE] I guess I don't consider this to be cold blood

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;52359296]I guess I don't consider this to be cold blood[/QUOTE] You're pretty unhinged if you think the attempted murder of politicians you disagree with is acceptable. You've just outed yourself as an extremist if you think this is okay.

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;52359296]I guess I don't consider this to be cold blood[/QUOTE] what did he do to deserve being shot

-Snip- Didn't see the post. [editline]14th June 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Lambeth;52359265][media]https://twitter.com/AP_Politics/status/875037505158086656[/media][/QUOTE] This is good on Bernie.

Jesus Christ The Rhetoric on some of the people here. And Retoric on the right as well, Some calling The Left ISIS and Terrorists.

[QUOTE=Tudd;52359307]Update: The shooter had campaigned for Bernie Sanders [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2017/live-updates/public-safety/updates-shooting-at-congressional-baseball-practice-in-virginia/acquaintance-describes-campaigning-for-sanders-with-hodgkinson/?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.5acfb9b59b46[/url][/QUOTE] This is old news, bernie has already denounced the shooter

[QUOTE=OvB;52359304]You've just outed yourself as an extremist if you think this is okay.[/QUOTE] Extremism is just holding extreme views. There's nothing inherently bad about it.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;52359305]what did he do to deserve being shot[/QUOTE] We can examine his voting record to determine how many have died because of his choices if you want.

Apparently, Trump claims the shooter is dead. But I thought I saw a post earlier saying he was taken into custody? [QUOTE]A gunman who sprayed bullets at Republican lawmakers during baseball practice in a Washington DC suburb has died, US President Donald Trump said.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40275055[/url]

[QUOTE=TheJoey;52358474]is this what you guys worry and scheme about when a politically motivated attempted killing, and potentially mass shooting happens? people got shot and the thread is just gonna get shit up with "bcuz turnip didnt say somethin stupid it wuznt him it wuz some1 else :downs: " you have problems.[/QUOTE] Considering the dude had proven himself so incapable of being appropriate on social media his own account was taken away from him, I wouldn't really call it scheming moreso than looking for the inevitable

[QUOTE=CanUBe;52359315]Extremism is just holding extreme views. There's nothing inherently bad about it.[/QUOTE] Except the fact that having extreme views is dangerous

[QUOTE=CanUBe;52359315]Extremism is just holding extreme views. There's nothing inherently bad about it.[/QUOTE] Extreme views that we need to silence people that you disagree with and beat them with a fucking baseball bat and Lump it in with actual hate speech, extreme views that call for violence. Extreme views that makes liberals look like fucking ISIS.

Apparently he was [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2017/live-updates/public-safety/updates-shooting-at-congressional-baseball-practice-in-virginia/gunman-was-living-out-of-the-gym-bag-former-alexandria-mayor-says/?utm_term=.b7910cb30c72]homeless[/url] too. Way more important than the fact he volunteered for bernie sanders once.

[QUOTE=Anti Christ;52359272]GOP Congress members are not innocent. In fact, they are the problem.[/QUOTE] FYI, 5 people were shot

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52359340]Apparently he was [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2017/live-updates/public-safety/updates-shooting-at-congressional-baseball-practice-in-virginia/gunman-was-living-out-of-the-gym-bag-former-alexandria-mayor-says/?utm_term=.b7910cb30c72]homeless[/url] too.

[QUOTE=Tudd;52358976]- Says he doesn't blame Trump. - Continues to justify in different ways how Trump is implicated.[/QUOTE] For one who spends so much time sharing scary stories about the nebulous "Left," arguing constantly that the lefties and Muslims are all getting crazier, you're [I]awfully quick[/I] to dismiss the possibility that Trump may have helped fuel the increasingly ugly political atmosphere in this country with his hateful, divisive, and inflammatory rhetoric. I can't speak for anybody else, but I sure as hell am not saying that the victims deserved this, or even that the bastard who pulled the trigger probably wouldn't have with a different president in office. He's obviously a deeply disturbed person, and I can only be thankful that nobody other than the shooter himself lost their lives as a result of this shit. Just the same, I think your boy has been a [B]major[/B] factor in the continued decline of political rationality, and so have people like you who took his particular brand of sinister belligerence and underhanded propaganda to heart.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52359361]Everyone's views are extreme depending upon context and personal opinion, going xyz is extreme No! abc is extreme! Violent or not is a much more clear cut distinction to focus on. I hope the shooter is really fucking proud of himself, this shooting is going to be used as inspiration for further attacks and a political ammo to push awful agendas zero doubt[/QUOTE] I mean he's dead, so.

You would have to be blind to not see that Trump has done nothing but force both sides further into their respective fringes.

It's kind of refreshing, but also scary to see people in this thread putting their money where their mouth is and taking previous rhetoric about the GOP and the right to its logical conclusion. If you truly believe that the Republicans are as bad as many democrats have been saying, you don't have to walk far to find yourself heading down "violence is justified" street.

Sounded like he just been planning an attack like this and been in DC as he figured it out, not that he's been a neglected homeless person.

Not every homeless person is chronically homeless.

The fact of the matter is that these congressman hold a huge amount of power over peoples lives. There are tens of millions of people who face literal poverty, homelessness, or [I]death[/I] over the things that Republican senators who make hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year bicker about on Capitol Hill. I'm frankly surprised it took this long for someone to snap. Doesn't make it right, but it shouldn't be unexpected either.
