Sounds like a political assassination attempt.

It does.

Reports are tough to verify this early on. One report said right before shooting, a jogger asked if they were Rs or Ds.

Related? I dunno..

Interesting......

Rep. Jeff Duncan giving statement to police. Guy in jogging clothes and apparently the shooter asked him if they were Dumbs or Pubs.....

Remember when Giffords was shot & the left sprinted to blame it on "violent rhetoric" from the right, and how Sarah Palin incited the violence by putting targets over congressional districts on a map? Wonder if the pubs will go that low?

I'll wait and see if the shooter turns out to be mentally ill, but the left has been very violent since the election...

How is that low? They've been pushing this rhetoric since November. I'll leave it at that, until we find out exactly what we're dealing with.

Let me clarify. Saying that Giffords was shot because of targets drawn on a map was low.

But if this guy was motivated by all of the violent imagery coming from the left (the play showing Trump getting assassinated in NYC, the Griffin beheading stunt, etc.) then that's quite a bit different than anything Palin did.

They can go take a look at his social media postings or see if he kept a journal to see if this was planned and if he was targeting anyone in particular. If it was premeditated and targeted a Republicans, that may not be mental illness. If it was just some guy shooting random people, then yeah I'll buy the mentally ill argument.

All of the democrats are mentally ill. We have members here who thought(still do?) Trump paid Russian hookers to urinate on a hotel mattress that Obama once slept on.

Just like the guy in Charleston, but the left leaning posters on this board (nolan, Visor, ip, and probably you) all used it as a lever to want to ban the Confederate flag.

It would be great if you were consistent...

The more I read on this, this shooter didn't have much training. He could have shot a LOT of people if he didn't spray bullets first and had instead targeted the two cops first.

Yeah. He fired sixty plus rounds and supposedly multiple reloads. Thank God he wasn't well trained. It could have been a blood bath.
