FIVE FACTS about the shooter, James T. Hodgkinson from Heavy.com

His Facebook page includes several political posts, including one on May 24 asking for signatures on a Change.org petition calling for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to stop the NEXUS pipeline.

He also signed a petition on May 21 titled, “George H.W. Bush: Past Presidents Urge Congress to Launch Independent Investigation,” and shared that on his page as well.

On March 22 he wrote, “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”

Two days ago, he wrote on Facebook, “I Want to Say Mr. President, for being an ass hole you are Truly the Biggest Ass Hole We Have Ever Had in the Oval Office,” according to the Belleville News-Democrat.

BND.Com:

The shooter was James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, who belonged to a number of anti-Republican groups, including one called “Terminate the Republican Party.”

(Its worth clicking over to read the article. Lots there.)

Detailed description of shooting from radio broadcast from witness. Very good!

Read this appalling letter another Republican representative got after the shooting today.

(The left is demanding a civil war. A case could be made that the degree of one’s personal maturity could be measured by the degree to which one is wary of one’s own desires. Those who seek the destruction of the greatest liberal state in human history are not showing much maturity, and may get what they want to their detriment.)

H/T M., Xanthippa, EB, Wrath of Khan, and many more.

Its gonna be a busy news day. That is never good.

  2. This man was impatient, he couldn’t wait to see if the soft coup the Dems are trying to pull succeeds.

    I also want to know how he knew where the practice was, who he as gunning for and how many knew about his plan? Of those who knew about his plan how many were pushing him to start shooting and how many other shooters do they have?

  3. Liberals Praise Rep. Steve Scalise Shooting at GOP Baseball Practice; Shout Calls for Gun Control

    It didn’t even take an hour before liberals on Twitter began their partisan snark regarding the attack on GOP members of Congress this Wednesday morning as they gathered in Alexandria for baseball practice.

    House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, one of the main chearleaders of Paul Ryan and Donald Trump’s American Health Care Act, was reportedly shot in the hip. Two Capitol Hill police and at least one Congressional staffers were also shot during the attack.

    On Twitter, @thatgirlfrmOhio was quick to weigh, telling her 507 followers “Many weapons are used to kill people. Republicans have chosen healthcare as their weapon.”

  4. The “Resistance” Shot a Republican Congressman Today

    After losing the election, Democrats decided to rebrand as the “Resistance”. Now Resistance street violence has escalated into an assassination. But that’s what a “Resistance” does.

    If Republicans are just fascists and President Trump is a tinpot dictator, well you shoot fascists and dictators, don’t you?

    Our political system depends on a consensus. Everyone fights it out at election time. And then goes back to work the next day. When you reject the results of an election and try to reverse it, some will try to reverse it with fake news scandals and impeachment efforts.

    Others will just pick up a gun.

    And there’s no point in pretending that James Hodgkinson wasn’t a product of the left’s hate machine which encompasses everything from the evening news to the crazier sites out there. When James Hodgkinson declared that it’s time to “destroy” Trump, how many on the left would have disagreed?

    The only question is how many more like James Hodgkinson are there out there?

    Richard: To answer the question a lot.

    • thank you. The Congressman is an Iraqi War vet, medic or doctor, and first baseman, the first to provide first aid–what a teammate!

  6. Just One Day Before GOP Congressman Attacked, ‘The Wire’ Creator David Simon Called For Violence: ‘Pick Up A Goddam Brick’

    A crazed lefty of the Bernie-variety opened fire on several GOP congressman in Virginia who had been practicing for an upcoming charity baseball game against Democrats on Wednesday morning, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), an aide, and several police officers.

    Did the shooting occur in a vacuum or did the openly violent rhetoric of prominent leftists inspire his malevolent behavior? Just six months have passed since President Trump’s ascendancy to power and calls for his assassination have either been shrewdly implied or openly endorsed.

    When Kathy Griffin posed with a mock severed head of President Trump, she had more than a few defenders, with actor Jim Carrey saying her only sin was being the brave soul to voice what everyone else felt.

    When controversy erupted over an iteration of Julius Caesar that depicted Trump as the assassinated leader, playwright Tony Kushner blamed Breitbart and the right wing media for manufacturing outrage.

    • “with actor Jim Carrey saying her only sin was being the brave soul to voice what everyone else felt.”

      STD Jim Carry? No sin, no shame?

      • As two heads butting
        Killing’s a Game
        Muhammad said
        No Sin, No Shame.
        As Pol Pot ordered
        The field’s aflame
        A million dead
        No Sin No Shame
        As girls are slutting
        Drawn to fame
        Committing suicide
        No Sin No Shame.

  7. GOP rep. received threatening email with subject line ‘One down, 216 to go…’ after lawmaker shooting

    The office of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) received a threatening email with the subject line “One down, 216 to go…,” shortly after a shooter opened fire on GOP lawmakers who were at a congressional baseball practice, according to her office.

    The person who sent the email then wrote in the body of the email, “Did you NOT expect this?”

    “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,” the email said.

  9. The civil war finished in 1865. Charity baseball game still on. News is reporting that the shooter had been in the area since March.

    Various accounts of this are in the Wa Examiner and elsewhere. The pop-ad reminded me that today was President Trump’s birthday.

    I expect to see many American adorning homes tomorrow, perhaps even the homes with the Resist placards.

  11. The Dems are once again playing the moral equivalence game, once on the Campaign Donald Trump told his followers to punch the rioters in the nose. That according to the Dems is the equivalent to telling people to pick up a brick to hit people with, or faking the murder of Donald Trump in a play, or calling for the assassination of the President. Or Collage Professors telling their students that all Republicans should be stood up against a wall and shot.

    I don’t remember any of the Trump supporters attacking the Hillary and Berni supporters that were rioting.

    I don’t remember any of the Trump supporters destroying cars and destroying businesses near a Hillary or Berni rally or speech.

    The Dems and their media puppets allies have fomented a civil/class/race war for over a decade and now their plans are coming to fruition. They are going to regret starting the war.

    • The shooter was in the DC area for roughly 3 months, why did it take him this long to find a time and place to open fire?

      Who was he talking to during this time?

      Was there someone else involved?

      Where did he get the rifle?

      Was he a lone nut or part of a “resistance” cell?

      Is there any connection to any of the Soros funded groups?

      All of the above questions need to be answered, but answered some place besides the in the Propaganda Media.

      • news reports that his phone is being examined – can’t recall if it’s the FBI or the local police
        Trump’s birthday?
        a profile posted here mentioned a DUI citation
        If he were buying alcohol on a credit card, there might be a trail to where he was living. I think it’s Maryland that has a universal carding policy–more data points if he passed through Maryland—can’t imagine someone in his 60’s would have been too happy being carded for the first time!

        Why did he bring a revolver along?
        That he does not have explosives with him, makes me think he acted alone — thank god!

  12. “Was he a lone nut or part of a “resistance” cell?”

    A distinction without a difference. Merely a matter of numbers.

    • Connected to thousands by dogma and ideology. Exactly as is a muslim terrorist. Common goals and cosmology doesn’t require a classical organizational structure.

      • “ Common goals and cosmology doesn’t require a classical organizational structure.”

        Exactol! Be it mind control or merely propagandistic indoctrination, all of that matters not. Just as Antifa’s thugs freely wriggle about in the vague slime of endlessly shape-shifting Liberal “values”—see modern definitions of “racism”—so do a majority of jihadi terrorist fish swim in the (purposefully) ill-defined “moderate Muslim” sea.

        This slime and sea both are sufficiently “fluid” such that the ability of criminal types to navigate these oily (e.g., OPEC) eddies allows for a degree of legalistic slipperiness that the “King of Torts”, Melvin (“I’m not an ambulance chaser; I always get there before the ambulance arrives.”) Belli, could only hope to admire.
