I cannot handle the narratives that these horrible incidents spawn. I feel like we should be able to focus on the victims and the first responders for at least like, half a day, you know?
So awful. Apparently it was only because Scalise was there that they even had a security detail present. Terrible to think how many people could have been hurt if security hadn't been there.
It will come as no surprise that the Trumpers are blaming the media and still want nothing to do with common sense gun control measures.
I'm going to hell for this, but my first thought was, "huh, there were even good guys with guns..."
So much for that argument.
This is fucking disgusting. You should be ashamed.
Also, lets not forget that police officers and staffers were shot. And an entire community terrorized. There are a lot of victims here, and justifying this because one person might have done something reprehensible but not violent in the past is super gross.

Thank you, harpy. This is true, and I accept this.
And per another reporter, FBI is taking over investigation from APD.
Is this standard?
It was because this was an assault on federal officials. I don't know if it's standard because thank god that assaults on federal officials aren't super common.
I am glad that it looks like everyone is stable, I hope they all recover quickly. Whether you agree or disagree with their political leanings, no one deserves this.

Well IMO there are certain people who could get shot and I wouldn't bat an eye. However, this isn't a case where one shady ass racist is being shot at. Someone look a big ass gun with a bunch of bullets( sorry folks I don't know know terminology) and tried to slaughter a bunch of folks. These people were playing a game NOT attending a cross burning.
Suspect has been named by WaPo as James T Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville IL. He's a far left Bernie loving self reported Democratic Socialist according to his FB. So help me God the last thing the left needs is more fuel for the Fox News fire. Fuck him.

Already seeing stuff like this on my FB feed:
"So, they are doing the things they are saying the right will do. Preventing free speech, rioting, yelling down others who have different beliefs, and attempted murder. Yep, it's the progressive party all right."
I am having mixed emotions about President Trump addressing this situation so quickly after his lack of response to other situations. I mean I get it, but still conflicted by the difference in response time and tone.

Oh yes, me too. Has he even acknowledged the service members killed in Afghanistan? Everything is so partisan with him and I'm already cringing at what he's going to say.

Me too, and I couldn't figure out how to say it without sounding like a jerk. I wish he had addressed what happened in Portland this fast.
