2 Minnesota lawmakers both shot in separate home invasions.

According to documents found in his vehicle he was apparently targeting "pro choice" politicians. You can draw your own conclusion regarding their party and implicitly his current party of preference assuming that he has one.
A hit list was found in the suspect’s car with nearly 70 names, a law enforcement official told CNN. Another official who has seen the hit list said that it targeted “prominent pro-choice individuals in Minnesota, including many Democratic lawmakers who have been outspoken about pro-choice policy positions.”

Setting the heinous acts in this thread aside, you’re going to have explain the “left” being “far more violent” than the “right.” If you’re talking about shooters that is empirically false. If you’re talking about protests I’d love to see data on that.

 

So this is where we are now, huh? The media pitting both sides against each other for years (and politicians lapping it up and playing into the hatred) has really birthed something special.

 

The most depressing issue with your statement is that people claim to see it, claim to be above it and then fall victim to it whether they seem to realize it or not...

Its like a shitty driver. Everyone claims they see it on the road everyday but they are never the ones texting, speeding, tailgating etc etc

 

Not so sure that we have birthed anything new. The fringe of the pro-life movement has been murdering doctors in the name of "pro-life" since the first abortion doctor was killed in 1993 in Pensacola, FL. This is not a recent phenomenon. It is just so much easier to trigger these walking mental defects and zealots these days.

The average Republican or Conservative would be horrified at the thought of murdering another human being. Our problem is that our "fringe left" and "fringe right" are being cultivated, aggravated and increasing in numbers into becoming far too large these days.

 

6 of 7 attempted Presidential assassinations or Presidential assassinations have been on Republicans. Look it up. That is telling in itself. You can’t dispute that fact.

 

Great. He wants Jesus. Let’s arrange the meeting expeditiously.

 

Wow. You might want to delete this post before it gets shredded. It’s not about the Presidential political affiliation (which has changed over time) but the assassin. I’m taking my kids to a movie so this will be fun to see later on.

 

Except for the Charlottesville riots a couple years back which involved protesters from both right & left when was the last time there were riots/looting/fires/firebombs at a right wing protest?

 

So far, he has evaded the joint state police and FBI task force. The FBI now has a $50k for information leading to the arrest of the suspected shooter.

 

Wow I agree your comments weren't surprising at all, it doesn't take long for you libbies to get all worked up and start the blame game, pathetic and sad. No matter who did this (rep or dem) this person is sick and has problem.

 

And yet here you are, what's sad is your pathetic comments

 

It’s weird you went to Presidential assassination attempts as it’s a very specific violence and there’s much more that’s been happening out there.

Regardless, I’m not sure where you got the 7 number but it’s not accurate. There’s been 18+ Presidents with serious attempts on their lives though some were foiled plots in their making such as Kuwaiti intelligence stopping a car bomb from killing G HW Bush. These attempts have been against both Republicans and Democrats for all kinds of reasons from a Confederate sympathizers upset of slavery’s abolishment to people upset about California’s redwood trees, by a man who thought he was king of England and believed the President was blocking his money to a man trying to impress a teenage Jodie Foster, from Puerto Rican nationalists to Iraqi intelligence, by a man upset his own party didn’t appoint him to a position in Paris to an anarchist, etc.

My favorite story of those is that Teddy Roosevelt gave an hour and a half speech with a bullet in his chest after an assassination attempt and didn’t go the hospital until afterward.

 

Why would anyone limit a definition of violence to one person shooting another? Violence takes many forms, just consider what’s been on the news from LA the last week or so.

 

“You libbies” start the blame game is a somewhat funny statement.

@ETGator1 I recognize that the funny rating has become a common way to mock posters with different views, but once you are using it as a response to a four paragraph post about what makes America special, why even be on this board? You might as well just create a bot with the instructions “not in agreement with Trump = funny rating”. That way you don’t have to waste the time reading the posts.

 

So, any update now that it turns out that he was an anti-abortion shooter? Why do you think that your sources attempted to blame the libs for him. Have they corrected their narrative yet?

 

It’s inevitable that some will hope to validate their side by blaming the other side for an act like this.
And it’s likely the guy has put a bullet into his own brain by this time.
