Killing Republicans...

[BridgeTroll]

Well... looks like the guy was a bad shot...

[I-10east]

Violence on the right usually is self defense from the left, and violence on the left is exclusively against the right; to protect America against 'fascism', like as many Antifa say 'bash a fash'. People like that cowardly crazed liberal professor within Antifa hitting the 'fascist' with a bike lock over their heads. 

The very powerful liberal intelligentsia status quo in America used to be run by old school New York liberals, back when we got news from newspapers, and the legacy media (CNN, NBS, ABC etc). Now we are in the social media age, and very leftist Silicon Valley (the Zuckerbergs of the world) is running American media (FB, twitter, etc). Current California liberals are much more whacked out than the old school more even keeled NY liberals of yesteryear.

Now everything is about victimology, 'woke' racial injustices, infantilization, overly promoting LGBT issues like they are an endangered species, wealth redistribution (particularly from the middle class to the poor, many which are able bodies that will not work) leftist political violence, turning a blind eye to despicable acts with a certain continuous violent religious ideology (accept the very rare Halley's Comet Christian incident of course) and further degradation and confusion in America with double downed corrosive communist, socialist and SJW politics.

IMO antibullying campaigns of 2010s (pre BLM) started alot of this victimhood stuff' a liberal slippery slope from flat to steep.

I thought this was the title of Bill O'Reillys new book in his "Killing" series?

It's impossible to think of this event as anything but disgusting and horrible. It should provoke a period of soul searching for all of us.

I 10 East, your comments are incredibly stupid.

Please stop the horse manure.

Or ask Gabby Giffords about violence from the right.  You may have forgotten, but VP Candidate Sara Palin put gun sights on liberal districts
she wanted to "take out" during her short lived rise to infamy.  Then lo and behold a right wing nut job shows up at a GG rally and shoots her point blank in the head.

While common sense Americans have supported common sense gun control for years, the right wing of the Republican Party has fought them tooth and nail, proposing that more guns and access to them will make us all safer. It's a fallacy. A very lethal one.

How would Alexandria turned out in a gun "safe" zone without the armed cops?

A guy shot someone. Why does this have to be turned into some sort of anti "left" screed? By all accounts, the guy was unhinged. And those sorts of people exist all over the political spectrum.

And I-10 - Hitler sent millions of Jews, Communists, Socialists, Jehova's Witnesses, Lesbians, Gays, disabled people, etc to death camps. Are you arguing that this was self-defence?

Timothy McVeigh was a right winger who blew up a Federal building. I guess he was just defending himself against all those kids in the daycare...

I've never heard of a "gun safe zone" where cops aren't allowed to be armed.

The fact of the matter is that a) an armed citizen decided to try to kill some politicians and b) armed police stopped him.

I don't see the value in hypotheticals.

Since when are the United States Capital Police ever barred from carrying their service weapons while on congressional protection detail?

Further, how are any police officers barred from carrying their service weapons in a "gun free zone"?  That applies to civilians, not police.

Obtuse. The cops just happened to be there bc of Scalise otherwise the one "civilian" with a gun would have slaughtered everyone.

Yes - but it wasn't a gun "safe" zone and yet no one else had guns. Why not? Because they chose not to. And the one citizen who chose to arm himself happened to be the "bad guy".

^ DC is basically a "gun free zone" (for law abiding anyway) though so people in northern VA/southern MA rarely carry since they'll likely be travelling to/from DC all the time thus breaking the law.

The shooting happened in Virginia. Surely there must be gun owners in northern VA.

When I see someone reference commonsense gun laws I think of laws that prohibit someone who has committed violent acts (such as the shooter

not disarming the police as a troll on this thread would have you believe about we libs.
