BREAKING: Multiple shot at Congressional baseball practice

[AtorBoltox]

Yeah, can we have a link to this 'confirmation'?

[AtorBoltox]

Can we hold off for a moment on trying to determine the motive of a person we know nothing about?

[AtorBoltox]

I hope everyone is alright. I also hope this thread won't turn into a classic atlas sh**tstorm...

It already is

[AtorBoltox]

If you look in the faces of These hate mongering AntiFa thugs, you know that it will only get worse. Driven crazy by the media and Dems (Russia Russia Russia LIES!), more and more normal people get radicalized on BOTH sides!

You seem to have information pertaining to the motives and identity of the shooter. I suggest you take it to law enforcement

BOTH SIDES DO IT

That's what I said but only one side is reported, the other one is far more dangerous (look at Berkeley!) and is liked by the media...

And don't forget the drug addicted AntiFa idiot who punched Richard Spencer - and there were Atlas users with the GiF in their signature...

You're just going to ignore all the people killed by Trump supporters this year?

All zero of them?

Portland, Kansas, NYC etc. don't real?

You mean the Bernie supporter who stabbed everyone in Portland?

At his arraignment on May 30, Christian began yelling a variety of slogans as soon as he entered the courtroom, screaming: "Get out if you don't like free speech. You call it terrorism, I call it patriotism. You hear me? Die."[15][23] He also yelled "Leave this country if you hate our freedom — death to Antifa!"[23]
Also nice job ignoring the two other examples

This is example #737537 why America needs stricter gun laws

If we ever wanted to know what's wrong with our country, just read some of the posts in this thread.

People were shot, and some people here are bringing up politics.

The shooting of a member of congress is an explicitly political act

Portland? You mean the Bernie guy on the bus?

Jeremy Joseph Christian held extremist views, posting neo-Nazi, antisemitic, and far-right material on social media,[27][28] as well as material indicating an affinity for political violence.[10] Christian described himself as a white nationalist.[29] In April 2017, Christian wrote, "I just Challenged Ben Ferencz (Last Living Nuremberg Persecutor)(sic) to a Debate in the Hague with Putin as our judge. I will defend the Nazis and he will defend the AshkeNAZIs [a reference to European Jews]".[30] He had praised Timothy McVeigh in an online posting on April 19, the anniversary of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing;[28][31] he also "posted conspiracy theory memes from the right-wing Alex Jones Channel".[28]
Also again. interesting to see you ignore the other two examples

I'm sorry, but it's absurd to say 'don't bring politics into this!'. Like I said before, the shooting of a member of congress is by definition a political act, and it's completely legitimate to discuss what this says about American society

Wrong.

At the base line, sure...this happened because they're politicians (the same way that cops are targeted because they are cops).  But the issue is not politics--the issue is crazy people with guns who make crazy decisions and only want to create chaos.

So in your view the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK etc. are not political, just the actions of 'crazy people with guns'?

I disagree, for reasons stated above.

We shouldn't be discussing this along political lines.  This didn't happen because the victims were anti-abortion, or pro-Trump, or whatever else.  This happened because a deranged man decided to shoot people.

Agree to disagree. I think it's fine to discuss the politics of it, but it's crossing the line when people try to minimise the event because of the victims voting record or attempt to use it to smear their opponents. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.

[AtorBoltox]

We don't even know if the shooter had mental health issues?

Um, if someone is planning on shooting up defenseless people, then yea I'd say there's some mental health issues going on there.

Sane people commit horrible acts.

[AtorBoltox]

Rep. Roger Williams was also shot. No update on his condition.

Ooh, strike 2.

Both these gentlemen voted to strip 24 million people of their health insurance last month.

Disgusting post (and yeah, tons of ways for you to obfuscate what you mean, but it's pretty clear).

The tolerant Left strikes again, disgusting and unbelieveable that such suspects are tolerated here. Leftists always get personal, insult and spread hate and nothing happens, meanwhile I'm getting posts deleted like that:

"All left-wing arguments against GOP bills now boil down to:
1. It will kill children
OR
2. It will make it too difficult to kill children

POTUS TRUMP TWEET:

I am watching the Democrats trying to defend the "you can keep you doctor, you can keep your plan & premiums will go down" ObamaCare lie.""

What a left wing bubble and bias here. Hillarious.

Why on earth are you talking about Obamacare when multiple people have just been shot?
