Member of Congress Among 5 Reportedly Shot at Baseball Field

[Secular Elf]

It has been frustrating reading comments on social media. People are simply using this event to advance a personal agenda. While I do not condone what happened, I'm really not surprised. People are angry, and there is bound to be someone who is not right in the head who will just snap. People seem to forget all the things Trump has said regarding Hillary Clinton. Didn't he say for the second amendment people to do something about her? Didn't he also say he could walk out onto 5th ave. and shoot someone and people would still support him?

The reality of the situation is this man is seriously ill, in the head. He believes that a solution to a problem is violence. Which is NEVER the case. But I'm sure the right wing pundits are having a field day with this. I can't wait to hear what that piece of shit Michael Savage says about this. Keep in mind, these people were praising those people pointing guns at federal officials during that entire B.L.M. situation that played out a few years ago in NV

Indeed. Trump is not innocent in all this. Though the divisiveness existed before he came along, he only served to deepen it with his own rhetoric. Until he actually comes out and says that he is part of the problem and is sorry for what he has said about a lot of people, to the American people in public, he does not deserve a hearing. But I am not holding my breath. He is a fucking liar, and his head is so far up his ass that a public apology and genuine self-reflection on his part will never happen. I hate him and I do not trust him. Not My President!

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.

It happened because a bad person has hate for a particular group of people and wanted to make a statement by killing as many of them as he could. Happens quite often, unfortunately, and it's sad to see people using it as opportunity to push their political narrative without even giving like, one day to be a human being about it.

Just out of curiosity Catholic_Lady, do you remind any of your Conservative co-religionists, if you have any Conservative friends, that the Non-Christian and non-Conservative people in this world are human beings? Does it ever come up in your discussions with each other that maybe religious Right Wingers should tone done their rhetoric and use their Christian duty of forgiveness and charity towards the rest of us?

I ask because I am not seeing any of the Christian folk getting onto each other for being promoters of hate.
