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..
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!

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

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
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...UpstateSCHokie wrote: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?

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
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.UpstateSCHokie wrote: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?

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
Let me clarify. Saying that Giffords was shot because of targets drawn on a map was low.HokieHam wrote:How is that low? They've been pushing this rhetoric since November.

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.

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
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.cwtcr hokie wrote:not a valid blanket statement at all, but he is dead per reports so now sure how anyone will ever knowHooFighter wrote:Anyone who does something like this is mentally ill.WestEndHokie39 wrote:mentally ill

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
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.WestEndHokie39 wrote:I'll wait and see if the shooter turns out to be mentally ill, but the left has been very violent since the election...UpstateSCHokie wrote: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?

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.HooFighter wrote:Anyone who does something like this is mentally ill.WestEndHokie39 wrote:mentally ill

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
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.

Re: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Shot
Yeah. He fired sixty plus rounds and supposedly multiple reloads. Thank God he wasn't well trained. It could have been a blood bath.USN_Hokie wrote:The more I read on this, this shooter didn't have much training.
