Steve Scalise shot in Virginia, aide also hit

[GennGreymane]

@Thepersona, @Skroe, @Tennisace, @Venant, what are your thoughts on this? I would appreciate your opinion.

[Redwyrm]

Not even close. It was a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives.

Ah, then I guess it was ok. I heard House Representatives get a free reporter assault

[ohiostate124]

Shame on you, all you want is the motive to bring your political agenda into the discu--

Wait, wait wait.

You said politicians got shot?

Never mind, carry on.

Yeah, this is pretty pathetic. Even for mmo champ.

Well they went through the thing, I think the charges were dropped, and he personally apologized and wanted to donate money to a particular fund or something. I think he and the reporter sorta made up, but its what ever.

[Venant]

The left and the MSM should be very pleased. Their gaslighting violence against republicans and conservatives is finally paying off. Who would have thought calling republicans nazis, Russian spies, fascists, etc for years now would cause a violent nutter to do something violent and nutty?

Are you saying that the anti-Trump movement has been making a point of fetishizing violence against their ideological adversaries?

[Venant]

I think we should also mention #thecrusades just to be safe here.

[Wilian]

The memo was when a right-wing fanatic shot Gabrielle Giffords. Additional memos came when Trump, at many of his rallies, called for violence against his political opponents, and when his son declared that Democrats "aren't even people".

I'm disgusted filth like you are even remotely on the 'same side' politically as I am issue by issue basis.

Your kind is the reason for spiraling downfall of the actual liberals and sensible left.

[NineSpine]

Pretty much how we ended up with the mess called Obama-care... all the other side is doing now is obstruction, denial and spreading fake news. period.

Obamacare took 8 months to sign into law, and dominated political discourse for that entire time. It contained dozens of Republican amendments. What the hell are you talking about?

Are you gonna make us post pictures of all the Obama lynching effigies? Really?

He plead guilty on Monday and is serving a 6-month deferred sentence with no jail time.

Ah, wow I need to stop reading links my friends send me. Hes been getting pretty bad recently.

[Osmeric]

50-100 rounds, and only wounded people? Shitty shot.

Shows the importance of gun control!

[derpkitteh]

that the guy?

[Captain N]

that the guy?

Nah that's just some meathead.

[Shadowferal]

Are we gonna pretend a Democratic congresswoman wasn't shot in the head a few years ago?

We'll see what the reasons are.
To me it's just a matter of time however when you get far too many people angry and feeling very helpless about it. I mean really, this is one of the biggest reasons why the GOP and the NRA defend your right to own firearms. To quote V for Vendetta; "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Government should be afraid of their people."
To me we've got a president that puts Russia first and wants to get rid of programs that help his own constituency (a constituency that is very pro-NRA)...wtf

You need an intervention, you've been on news drugs for too long Genn.

We point it out because we're not pleased. We point it out because our country has a drastic rate of gun violence that we could easily stop with some common sense. We point it out so other people will see we have a problem too and maybe we can get this problem changed if people are aware of it, so we don't have to keep fucking pointing it out.

[Moralgy]

The guy asked a congressman who was leaving... Are those Dems or Republicans?

So the leftist media and Hollywood spend months whipping up #fake news inspired rage.
For months that the mainstream media’s hysterical anti-Trump narrative and the left’s insistence that Trump is illegitimate will radicalize demented social justice warriors and prompt them to lash out with violence.
It looks like that’s exactly what happened today. The blood is on their hands.

The media, the left and Hollywood must stop legitimizing violence and return to the realm of civil discussion and proper tone.

Time to declare Antifa, Hollywood, and Leftists a terror organization and treat them like ISIS

Can we say these same things the next time a right wing person shoots someone for political reasons, or is that not allowed?

I just might.

Post them. Post the ones that weren't set up/faked by leftist. Leftist have gone full tilt violent this election cycle. You guys lost. I dealt with 8 years of Obama and i loathe him. I wished he would've choked on a bag of dicks but never someone murdering him. The left is asking for a civil war.

Please stop with your fearmongering. You're one step away from legitimizing violence against "leftists".

Name a right winger who went on a shooting spree. All of them have had leftist leanings beliefs. Even the Gifford shooter had books of Marxism that he followed.
