Member of Congress Among 5 Reportedly Shot at Baseball Field

[Aegon]

Anybody else feel like political violence in the U.S. Is just starting to boil?

I agree 100% Look at this:

GOP rep. received threatening email with subject line 'One down, 216 to go...' after lawmaker shooting

From one of the emails:

"Did you NOT expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit. Certainly, your souls and morality were lost long before. Good riddance,”

[Minimalist]

Ha.  Predictable.  All of a sudden this hypocritical fuck wants to tone down the rhetoric.

Rep. Chris Collins calls for people to 'tone down' rhetoric in baseball shooting aftermath

Collins, one of President Trump’s most ardent congressional supporters, is known for going hard after Democrats and anti-Trump forces. He's also waged war with Gov. Cuomo, recently saying the governor is a "a thug, he's a bully, he's a blackmailer, and an extortionist…"

"Oh....I didn't mean for you to shoot at US!"

Lousy prick.

Certain irony in gun-loving republicunts being shot down....

There's a certain irony in the left being the self proclaimed champions of compassion and tolerance only to have one of their own shoot down someone they disagreed with politically. The gunman was shot dead by the police. No doubt, this will end up in your, "Fucking Cops", thread because they shot and killed the leftist fucker who was doing the shooting?

There's also a certain irony in the left being the self proclaimed champions of free speech only to have a vicious mob from their ranks riot, commit assault, and destroy public and private property whenever a University invites a conservative to speak on their campus.

Let's see your collection of Obama the Monkey memes, you two bit phony.

Random email nutter makes a strong point. Fortunately, the US protects the assholes who try to forfeit their lives in such a manner. I guess that makes us susceptible, somehow facilitating that upward transfer of wealth by ensuring through force of law that the only pressing consequence for doing so or attempting to do so is the hatred of all the poors you won't be socializing with anyway.

Because this isn't a random act of violence and we need to have discussions. About why it happened and how to prevent it in the future.

There comes a point where we *all* need to tone down the rhetoric. I'd say that time is long since past.
