Scalise was at 2nd base when the shooting started. About as far from all of the edges as a person can be in a baseball diamond. The attacker was either after him in particular, or going for the most powerful Republican he could find.

24 hour rule is always wise to follow. However, if the shooter is the guy who asked which party was out their practicing, that indicates he wanted to shoot random Republicans. Posted by: stace gets two scoops at June 14, 2017 09:02 AM (Q5ALd) 304
"Are those republicans out there..." That's the ballgame right there. Partisan sicko- likely not a pro based on that statement and results.
And as if on cue, ABC: "this is an American phenomenon". Of course, it's not some partisan liberal sicko. It's the gun culture. The GOPe had better not play along. This would be a good time to stick to the facts. Posted by: Cooldawg at June 14, 2017 09:02 AM (68Zyy) 305

Rand said 50 or more shots, then police were returning fire. Fog of war sure, but a guy willing to die for the cause, plan a little, could have had two 30 round mags? (or 3 or 4 with 15?)

I happened to see a short video of a skit by SNL "making fun of liberals" this morning. It's been around a while.
Scientists find a way to read a dog's mind, and the dog starts talking about how it's a big Trump supporter. Towards the end of the skit, one of the scientists witnessing this pulls out a gun and says they're going to shoot the dog. The incitement to violence has been going on a while now.

It would seem that the spell is almost complete and the demon is about to step through the gateway they have created.

Causing chaos and then profiting by currency short-selling is close enough to his usual MO that your idea is at least plausible. I've said before that the Leftist Globalists are still fixated on Europe as the core of their new empire, and we're just an obstacle to them. That would also go along with your "goal is just to cause chaos" hypothesis, since it furthers that while lining his own pockets at the same time.

I hear that the primary just broke the relationship between Malor and the Horde. Both sides just trolling each other endlessly.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison at June 14, 2017 09:44 AM The relationship was broken way before that. Gabe was, well, relentless in his marriage "rights" posts and tended to condescend and belittle commenters who took issue with it. Ace did get involved and asked everyone to cool it, also saying that he needed a cob much more than any individual commenter...a reasonable stance, I should add. But Gabe never gave off the vibe that he was entirely connecting with The Horde, so he left. It wasn't one final straw that did it...it was a burn that had been going on for quite awhile.

I think it much more logical to propose that the shooter is mentally ill, or a terrorist, and that better management or restriction of liberty of persons with paranoid disorders (ESP with concommitant substance abuse or violent episodes or ideation) and terrorism control might have better effect.

The carbon credits juxtaposition ing with real world horror was my idea of bitter sarcasm, but I like to quote you, because it needs to be repeated and repeated.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison at June 14, 2017 09:44 AM The relationship was broken way before that. Gabe was, well, relentless in his marriage "rights" posts and tended to condescend and belittle commenters who took issue with it. Ace did get involved and asked everyone to cool it, also saying that he needed a cob much more than any individual commenter...a reasonable stance, I should add. But Gabe never gave off the vibe that he was entirely connecting with The Horde, so he left. It wasn't one final straw that did it...it was a burn that had been going on for quite awhile. Posted by: WitchDoktor, AKA VA GOP Sucks at June 14, 2017 09:56 AM (tVWQB) It's always interesting to see the stories about past events here. We really do need an AoSHQ historian. Some things get... misremembered. Your take is pretty much dead on though. Gabe was nasty, and fairly un-adult about it at times. And it wasn't always about his pet topics. Somebody could try to argue a point with him, and before you knew it he was slashing and cutting with insults. So then people insulted him back. And then it got to be "oh, you people are picking on me because I'm gay." It was childish. I do get Ace's stance, but really, Ace is a nice guy. Loyal to a fault sometimes.

The shooter has been identified as James T Hodgkinson of Belleville, Illinois and he is, as can be seen on his FaceBook page, a Bernie Sanders supporter. Hodgkinson is one of those who STRONGLY believes in socialism. And one thing is clear. If it weren't for the presence of people with guns this nutcase, who deliberately targeted Republicans, would have done a lot more damage to human life.

Posted by: @votermom @vm pimping great books usually free or sale at June 14, 2017 10:48 AM The only reason there were men with guns there is because Scalise is the #3 guy, the House whip. If he wasn't there it could have been much worse Posted by: JoeF. at June 14, 2017 10:50 AM (7uYFy) 939

Now the left is really going to ratchet up the hate. They've finally got the results they've wanted, now they're going to go full bore.

I'm sick to death of being stabbed in the face by some smiling "Antifascist" piece of SHIT. the screamed "culture of corruption!!!!!!!" for years and now look at what we've allowed these totally vile pieces of human fucking GARBAGE to get away with! My blood is boiling right now.. You see that leftist cesspool that is known as twitter celebrating this shit? Fuck 'em all. Start shooting back. Take no fucking prisoners. This is life and death with these fuckin assholes. Either we die from their completely upside down view of terrorism, or we die directly by their amped LIES. These fucks get away with WAY too much and it's far FAR past time we start "burning this bitch down." I'm disgusted and furious. I knew this shit would happen if a Republican was elected.

This has probably already been noted in the many comments above, but even if it has it deserves repeating. Ace has rightly insisted that the liberal/progressive/Democrats *must* be made to suffer under the same rules that they have insisted for us.
In that light, I must say that the liberal/progressive/Democrats are DIRECTLY responsible for this hate crime due to their continuing, insane campaign of hate against those who disagree with them politically. As far as I'm concerned, under their own rules, THEY might as well have been holding the rifle that shot Rep. Scalise and the other Republicans present at that practice. And if some Republicans in the party aren't assigned the responsibility of coming out and telling the country that and in those terms, then we will have 100% assurance that the GOP and the Republicans in Congress are perfectly happy being serfs under the liberal/progressive/Democrats rules.

In the history of terrorism, there have been multiple incidents where bombers hoisted themselves on their own petard.

Has the Left managed to redefine "assassination" to mean something new?
Posted by: Lizzy at June 14, 2017 10:33 AM (NOIQH) __________________ Why yes we have, and thanks for asking. "Assassination" or "assassination attempt" means when a deranged, knuckle-dragging, deplorable Republican (or Trump voter) tries to do violence against a noble, pure, holier-than-thou paragon of virtue and tolerance, otherwise known as a Democrat. Contrast this with any type of violence against a Republican or Trump voter, which is always going to be accidental, unintended, motive unknown, etc. Posted by: THE LEFT at June 14, 2017 12:19 PM (nS5LK) 994
They made a movie about GWB being assassinated when he was elected.
They held a mock beheading of GWB in 2007 They hung Sarah Palin effigies around the same time AND dug through her fucking garbage to find ways to insult her DISABLED child. They recently kidnapped and tortured a special needs person "because Trump." They dragged people from their cars and beat the shit out of them all the while screaming "You voted Trump!!" (There is video of this, google it) They just recently walked down streets holding a Trump effigy and smashed the shit out of it. That stupid cunt Kathy Griffin held up a severed head (Like ISIS does to innocent men women and children) They stage plays depicting ASSASSINATION PORN and then shit like THIS happens, and we usually just lie down and continue to get kicked because "we don't want to stoop to their level.." Then, to top it all off, the media either buries the story, or just outright lies. There is a very disturbing pattern of lawlessness and violence among the left when they don't get their way. Call me whatever the hell you want but if we don't start defending ourselves politically, socially, and physically, there won't be anything left of our great country. I am not advocating random violence like these pieces of shit engage in. More importantly, I am not advocating we engage in ANY of the despicable behavior the lawless left does. Our side needs more than Fox news, or Brietbart, or these blogs. The violence committed DAILY by the left needs to be exposed and the people who engage in such acts need to made examples. LONG prison times etc.. For instance, people like Madonna and Cunty Griffen should have to face a ligation labyrinth if you will. Make life VERY difficult for them at every level possible. Let these shit heads know that it's NOT OK to say "burn down the WhiteHouse" or hold a severed head of a President. Posted by: Getcha Pull at June 14, 2017 12:26 PM (2g71q) 995
and then shit like THIS happens, and we usually just lie down and continue to get kicked because "we don't want to stoop to their level.." Sorry you sounded just like a Soros paid troll trying to instigate violence from the right. It has nothing to do with your quoted line: it has to do with being George Soros and friends' puppet and dancing when he pulls the strings. He wants a war between the left and the right. He doesn't care who wins that war - he intends to profit off the chaos by short selling. He needs to be extradited, given a fair trial, and a first class hanging, for incite to riot - which he clearly has been doing.
