5 bucks that the media will NOT see the Scalise-shooter as a "lone wolf with mental problems".

Only right-wing shooters are "lone wolves with mental problems".

If the shooter is black or brown (or, as in this case, a progressive) then the whole group is to blame.

Never miss a chance to exploit a shooting for political gain.

If the shooter is Right-wing, then the policies of the Left are to blame.

If the shooter is Left-wing, then the policies of the Left are to blame.
