Bullet that hit Va. congressman's office random

There's just one problem. It wasn't a headquarters for Cantor. It was one of his offices.

Looking at Cantor's website:

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) :: Republican Whip

The three offices listed are:

4201 Dominion Blvd, #110
Glen Allen, VA 23060


Culpeper

763 Madison Rd #207
Culpeper, VA 22701

Washington, DC

329 Cannon Building
Washington, DC 20515

Neither of those are the Richmond 25 East Main St office.

Furthermore there are no obvious markings that its his office:

Virginia Politics Blog - Police say gunfire that hit Cantor's office was random



Here is where the office is located:
25 East Main Street Richmond, VA 23219 - Google Maps

It is located in the 3rd district http://ftp2.census.gov/geo/maps/cong_dist/cd109_gen/cd_based/Virginia/cd109_VA03.pdf

Cantor represents the 7th district http://ftp2.census.gov/geo/maps/cong_dist/cd109_gen/cd_based/Virginia/cd109_VA07.pdf

So the fact that Cantor said: "Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week."

Cantor's claim was disingenuous. He made it seem like he was targeted. The fact is this was completely random. A person would have to jump through a lot of hoops to go through the trouble of shooting at an office building that houses an office for Cantor, which isn't in his congressional district, isn't listed on his website, and has no campaign signs marking it.

oh yeh Mirror Girl !!!!! Love love it !!!! lioes lies and more lies
 
Wow, that's crazy.

What are the odds?

:shock:
 
sure the Demons have had things reported that did not happen but CANTOR IS NO 2 IN THE LEADERSHIP so for him to lie an whine about an non attack and blmae the Demons for what his monster friends did is dispictable.


Is any of this supposed to make sense?

Let's just pretend you aren't an expert on ballistics for one moment.... in fact, let's pretend you don't know any more about ballistics than the average person........... and that would be nothing.

Now pretend you came into your office and found a window broken and a bullet on the floor.

What would you think happened?

This is where we find out just how honest you are.

WTH are you babbling about?

I don't follow your logic here.

Sure, our guys may have lied about something, but since the #2 of your guys might have lied about something, we must blast him, some random persons who we consider friends of his, and label him dispictable (which is not a word, btw).

WTF?

:confused:

As far as I can tell, the following occurred:
  1. “Health reform bill” passes.
  2. Protests increase.
  3. Bullet falls through the door of some branch office of a republican congressman.
  4. Congressman, on edge due to the protests and stress surrounding the issue, thinks someone shot at his branch office, and proceeds to contact police.
  5. Congressman does what all politicians do, given such circumstances, and tries to take political advantage of it.
  6. Police investigate, and find it highly unlikely that someone actually shot at the door.
  7. Congressman is embarrassed, etc. (I would assume).
 
And he was the one who said not to make a big deal out of everything.

I don't think the Dems who came forward are making a big deal out of it. I think the Media is though, which probably fueled Cantor to do it. I think he made a big deal out of it too, just with that speech.

I mean, basically he's saying that you can't talk about people trying to vandalize your space because it is for your own political gain? WTF?

That's exactly why I see him CAntor for what he really is, a bit phoney baloney! The Dems were basically mild in there response to the vicious attacks by the Tea PARTIERS.

No offense intended, but you come accross as more partisan than...Partisan.

Well I am not even resgistered with the Democratic party but I hate phoney baloney politicians of any party and I hate pompous A holes either politicians or radio/TV hosts. I am digusted with CANTOR becsause he behaves in a pompous manner. He did nothing to help tone down the Tea P's and in a way actually encouraged them with his own tone and rhetoric. When the Tea Party bufoons tirned violent he priticized the victims of their violence instead of the perpetrators. Then trying to act as if he was a victim makes me want to puke. Instead of being the opposition he behaved like a hyper diaper partisan.

BREAKING NEWS:

John Boehner said someone called his office... and it was a wrong number.

Mitch McConnell thinks someone cut him off in traffic today...He was texting so he didn't get a lic. number.

John Barrasso found cat poop on his lawn...FBI lab is running tests to see if it was from his cat.

My God, when will this madness stop... Leave the GOP alone, haven't they taken enough beatings this week?

If I was in congress and a bullet hit my window, I don't think "mild" is a word that would describe my reaction.

Well I do not believe that any Democratic Congressman's or Senator's window was hit by an actual "bullet'. They had vicious threatening phone calls and Emails and a few office windows a la Kristallnacht were broken so I guess they need to stay mild. I realize that bringing up Kristallnacht
is a bit dramatic but I really think that not only have neo Nazi elements have infiltrated the Tea Party membership the TP’s are using Nazi tactics - smashing glass windows. Someone I know mentioned the Kristallnacht analogy to me and that made me think!!! There is a path here with NAZISM. The next issue for TP's will be immigration and then they will have a group to hate. What scares me with that is that I believe that the TP artists do not know or care that there is a difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal alien immigrant. I am technically an immigrant. Many of these Tea PARTY schmucks would love to "send me back to where I can fprom". I have had that said to me before. I really fear that we have an out of control neo Nazi machine developing here with this cabal of Tea PARTIERS....

Just when you thought the idiocy can't get any deeper, some left wing extremist is now making baseless claims of naziism in the tea party movement... :doh

I don't think the word "mild" would describe this post either. "Hysterical" might. "Laughable" might work too. Don't go getting carried away, the Tea Party is mostly a group that wants a better America, which I can respect, and they are not some bunch of NAZI's. They are wrong on the issues, and that is all we need to talk about, not going and calling them names and looking foolish and hysterical.

Extremism and foolishness are not partisan.

OMG now we have been infiltrated with left wing extremists ? What will happen next ? We need to act and act right now becasue we need to take our country back from all extremists left or right. Then what ? someone will say that extremism in the pursuit of freedom is no vice.....
 
Not the tea partiers you goof, the ones calling people nazi's and unamerican, and muslim.
Well, it's obvious to me that EVERONE is a nazi, because at some point, someone labeled them as such.
