Belleville suspect killed in congressional shootout belonged to anti-GOP groups

"Terminate The Republican Party."

This is what happens when the average leftist surrounds themselves in leftist propaganda which demonizes people who doesn't march in lock-step. Violence then becomes easy, and in this instance, celebrated by some on the left. This is what the left has sown.

Or this is just what happens when a lunatic gets a gun. I turn on the T.V. and see just as much hate mongering on both sides. Thank God for the law enforcement on the ground that prevented this incident from getting worse!

Perhaps if the left would stop their violence, which is obviously accelerating, and purposely dividing the nation, we as a people can begin to heal. LOL, not likely. The left would never allow that.
 
I don't need to be in a group to be Ani-GOP. 😃

This post is what happens when the average right winger surrounds themselves in right wing propaganda and demonizes an entire group of people based on the actions of one person. It's also a good example of how right wingers politicize a tragedy. This is what the right has shown. Good job bringing it to our attention.

Perhaps if the right would stop their hate and their violence, which is obviously accelerating, and purposely dividing the nation, we as a people can being to heal. Of course, that's not likely. The right would never allow that.

I have been seeing the same on both sides of the spectrum.

So have I. And I plan on bringing this to light by mimicking people on this site who decide to post singularly partisan comments. Anyone who blames one side alone is acting like a hack and a hypocrite.
 
according to the article the shooter (now deceased) had a pretty extensive rap sheet; I'm curious if he had obtained the firearms legally that he used this morning?

Evidently, the weapon was legally obtained as the assault charge was filed as a misdemeanor. Not surprisingly, the idiot had to be told not to fire the weapon in a populated area.

All that aside, my deep suspicion is that the guy was probably an aggressive jerk who was a loser at life. He then discovers a cause that allows him to "win" at something. Yet, despite his new identity, he still remains a loser with an aggressive streak. He then goes on a rampage.

In short, the guy might well have been a shooting incident waiting to happen. Heck, I knew a guy like that: Mildly aggressive jerk, burned through two marriages, estranged from his son, history of career changes, had a series of avoidable permit and code violations (everybody is conspiring against me).

Later in life, he then discovers a cause / chance to be a "winner". Becomes a super buddhist- well his version of one. He was still the shallow, mildly aggressive jerk that he always was. The world still did not recognize his abilities. He has not killed anybody. I don't know if he is still a buddhist.

Remember when Gabby Giffords was shot...


...by a man with far-right sympathies, obsession with the "New World Order," and a history of sending hate mail to the Southern Poverty Law Center, how Republicans and the media were quick to deny any political motivation for his acts, describing him as merely an unbalanced individual who shouldn't be associated with his political affiliations?

This time around? Not so much... :roll:

Both sides have radicalized members and both sides claim it's only the other guy's fault. It's why progress is so hard to come by when each side can't even come together in the face of tragedy.
