    Not a surprise.  First it was Fox news creating haters and eliminating rational discussion and then MSNBC took over.   

    Fox News + MSNBC + stupid gun laws + social media = crazy people killing others.  

    Its awful.  No discussion, just hate.  All "my team vs your team".  Its either a win or a loss, no more win-wins.  I wonder if anywhere on that facebook had him praising kathy Griffin.....
    It looks like he hated Hillary as much as Trump

    This just in: Citizen exercises second amendment rights to protect themselves from government tyranny.  GOP reportedly confused.


    I would say "Left wing terrorist asshole perpetuates politically charged shooting at sporting event (where it is usually illegal to carry for self defense, btw).

    Why weren't any of these people armed to defend themselves while they were trying to enjoy a nice softball game?
    No shit...all of those snowflake republicans should have been packing heat
    Aren't sporting events considered "Gun Free Zones" in most states?

    Why are we not calling the shooter a terrorist?

    I think we know the answer to that. Had this man been Muslim, we'd already have a tweet from the President about how we need a travel ban to keep us safe. But since it's a white guy with a gun...radio silence about keeping us safe.

    Yup, it's just an unforeseen tragedy.  He's a madman, lone gunman. Thoughts and prayers.

    This wasn't a sporting event. It was like going to a community park. The shooter wouldn't have gotten in to a sporting event along with the rest of the gun toting protectors you're advocating for. Either way, people with guns were right there and several were still shot. Fortunately no one has been fatally shot. 2nd amendment doesn't protect anyone in this instance.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    also, people with guns = trained security there to protect Congressmen

    It is my understanding that at least one person was fatally shot

    Well, if he had not been "engaged immediately" by someone else with a gun, do you not think the results might have been different?  He probably would have walked around finishing people off as seen in other incidents where gunmen faced no opposition.  "Good guys" with guns most likely saved several lives in this situation.

    Yep.  The "liberal media" is going to have a field day with this.  

    The "resistance" just took a few steps back.

    The resistance didn't do anything. It's not defined by how some right wing folks want to continually grasp at singular events to confirm their belief system.

    Is a terrorist organization taking credit for the attack?  Less then 12 hours in.  Should wait and see

    Perhaps it was the Sons of the Harpies?

    The accepted definition of terrorist now is that you only need to be "influenced" by a terrorist group. Of course that depends on what religion the perpetrator is.
