If a Dem was shot, facebook would be flooded with hate for Trump and guns. Nothing on facebook about this today.

Hodgkinson looks and sounds an awful lot like him... :?


"Jamie Craig, bar manager at Pork Barrel BBQ in Del Ray, said James Hodgkinson had been coming to the restaurant on and off for months.

He preferred to drink Budweiser in the can, she said, and sometimes mocked craft beers as too fancy. She said he liked to watch golf on TV and was in town at least as early as April 6, when he came to the bar to watch the Masters.

“All the bartenders here have served him,” she said. “Each and every one of us described him as kind of creepy and not a friendly person.”

Oh I agree. That was Rand Paul last year. Back when the darkie was President and the GOP was calling him a tyrant and dictator on a daily basis.



And back when Candidate Trump thought he was going to lose, and asked what could be done about Hillary as President...


Trump on Clinton: "Nothing you can do, folks, although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
That's all well and good-

we have politicians talking about the potential for tyrannical government and why it justifies gun ownership

and then we have a guy who goes and shoots up a GOP baseball practice because "tyranny"?

I think there needs to be actual tyranny going on for your logic/moral relevancy to work

and I'm not talking about "the government taxes my pink thongs too much or some other such drama queen nonsense" tyranny

Very sad....regardless of your political differences, you do you and your cause no favors by committing crimes (especially assassination).
Yes I used to think the same kind of thing as a pro life person when pro lifers would shoot abortion doctors. You do nothing but hurt your cause when you do stuff like that.

The guy reportedly really hated Republicans. What he did today helped the Republicans a lot. I even expect to see Trump's job approval and favorability ratings tick up after having been in generally downward trends since he took office. I think cultural psychology works like that. Changes the subject big time too and gives people like Newt Gingrich an angle to use.

Shallow left field according to eyewitnesses. Dude was a terrible shot it sounds like.
I agree. I am by no means a really good shot and I haven't fired a gun for years. But when I was a kid I spent a lot of times in the woods plinking around with a 22. You know, shooting cans and such. Little birds. Squirrels. Iron sights. And it's hard for me to see how someone with a rifle and a bunch of fish in the barrel like that did so little damage unless maybe the rifle wasn't sighted well. Like, as I understand it, completely missing something as large as an adult human male on his first shot (the guy at third base). And from the accounts I heard this was not a long distance. It was close.

Of course maybe as soon as he took his first shot the law enforcement people there returned fire and that kept him from calmly aiming. Maybe that was it.

At that point it would be far too late, right?

Not defending this fuckstick at all. Just trying to figure out where the "tree of liberty" people justifiably draw the line.

In the modern age - our system of government and checks and balances will protect us far better than armed citizens, imo. If our system of government and checks an balances fail - it won't matter whether you're armed or not.

In the first several hours after it hit the interwebs that this guy was a hardcore donk, conk hating, Bernie campaign worker, CNN (and I bet a lot of other media on the left) makes no mention of this guys lefty background. And any mention they do make will be downplayed.

Now contrast that with the aftermath of the Aurora, Co theater shooting a few years back. Shortly after authorities released the name of the suspect, James Homes, the mainstream media, led by ABC's Brian Ross, started spreading a story about how Holmes was a right winger & member of the Tea Party.... Except oops, it was the wrong James Holmes.

Imagine if everything was flipped and if this had been the donk baseball practice, and a crazy right wing, Trump campaign volunteer, had gone on a shooting spree. Do you think CNN wouldn't mention that for hours? They and the rest of the liberal msm would make that the #1 aspect of the story from the 1st min.

I just watched CBS Evening News. They did mention that he was a Bernie volunteer but immediately cut to a shot of Bernie condemning the attack. They do always package their stories to protect liberals and slander conservatives. I watch it almost daily for entertainment purposes only.

While you're at it you can ponder why every president since who knows when has sent weapons to people fighting tyranny

Lol. I'd be curious to see what % of those weapons we send countries are available to purchase by US citizens.

We're sending things like TOWs - not deer rifles.


If US citizens were armed with military grade weapons, it might be a different story. :lol:

The #1 weapon we have sent to rebel groups around the world is assault rifles. Not even close with the other stuff -

The principle is the same - AND it has nothing to do with the ridiculous comparison Jon made and you appear to be trying to prop up

That is simply not true. I was watching CNN this morning when it happened and continued to flip around and watch various outlets all day. Outlets like CNN and MSNBC have clearly been talking about the guy's background. In fact I remember at lunch seeing the thing with him with a sign about taxing the rich. And I remember turning the TV on at lunch and seeing the thing where he volunteered for the Sanders campaign.

You really do need to quit buying this kind of crap. I watched nothing but CNN and MSNBC all day and I knew from early on about his background. Hates Republicans. Facebook posts indicating so. Sanders volunteer. All that stuff.

To say that outlets like CNN didn't report this stuff is just absurd.
