They know that, they are doing it anyway, so they must want to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans over several years.
Now, knowing this is FACT is still no reason for anyone to commit outright violence like this.
Americans need to mobilize, resist and use their damn VOTE, it is so much more powerful than they realize, FAR more so than those bullets he shot off today.

(10,279 posts)Bernie supporters. More likely, the target would be Trump and the White House. Also, it is easy to associate the congressional Repugs with the stopping of healthcare insurance for 24 million. And, they provided a big target today as they met for a ball practice. So, I'm for now sticking with the reason being stopping healthcare insurance and not being beaten by Trump.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,121 posts)wanted Bernie to protect his economic situation, probably didnt care much about social issues etc.
The BLAZE is already lying about the shooter I see. You can go look for yourself. I wont link.
Sadly, we are not meant to have nice things, there will be much more violence before Putin gets a hold of everything and takes over.

(31,121 posts)Fortunately for him and all republicans, they are full blown and absolute FUCKING HYPOCRITES so this comment of his will NEVER be brought up or used against him by just about anyone let alone the GOP. I am shocked it is on twitter at all.

(5,502 posts)This combined with the 2nd amendment option 45 encouraged in the election, just ecourages someone who is mentally ill to give into their dark whims.

(5,272 posts)and the target will never be on their own heads. Whatever the case, resorting to this kind of violence is horrific, and does liberal causes no good.
What we should be saying now is not "serves you right," but instead, "we are horrified by the actions of this lone citizen and condemn this senseless violent act. Will you join with us Senator Paul in condemning rhetoric like yours previously, that promotes violence towards our democratically elected officials?"
