House Majority Whip and Aides Shot At A Ballgame.

[ArcadiaGP]

The media obviously has no clue at the moment, and is simply throwing out random bits to see what sticks. If it turns out true, they win. If false, meh.

Personally, I'll wait until some actual facts are published before forming an opinion.

Takes the fun out of it, I know....

Congratulations. You're better than 80% of people on the internet.

Refuse to jump to conclusions without sufficient information. Refuse to instantly blame people or ideas you want to demonize.

There is no confusing the sounds of an AK with an AR. But I get your point. I know that Rand does shoot and own ARs.

I own a hammer and see a lot of nails

To be honest I have no facts to base my statement from, but just guessing I'm pretty sure it's not going to be always.

You'd be surprised, I think, if you looked into it.

There's some gray area, definitionally, when labeling as "left" or "right" or "neither," but Kirk's point is fundamentally valid.

Oh, and Irony Alert: Alexendria Police Chief's name appears to be Michael Brown.

More information now. Jeff Duncan says the man who asked him about party affiliation was in running clothes, Flake says shooter wore jeans

Political violence always comes from the Left. Where in H**** do you get this crap?

Ironic that those who are charged with making laws to protect us can't protect themselves.

Let's focus on the important questions.

Skinny jeans or real jeans?

Not usual. Eye witnesses are the least reliable witnesses.

Fat, middle aged, white guy.... I am hoping for real jeans... maybe sagging down during the commotion... don't ask how I know...

I'm just glad I got into this thread before the "jet bats can't melt aluminum fuel" theories.

Rep Joe Barton's 10 year old son was present, quickly stuffed under a dugout bench when shooting started.

Bipartisan game scheduled for tomorrow. Hope it goes on, and has record attendance.

Yeah, just what we need in here.

Your right I just might be.

But always was just wrong, and at this point in time not very helpful.

I'm not saying this is a bad idea or anything, I just want to know who articulated the idea for this, among all the other things going on.

Imagine a world where politicians didn't see attacks as an opportunity to set aside being jackasses, and just acted this way all the time.

Scalise "currently undergoing surgery." In "stable condition." He spoke with his wife earlier.
