hanales posted:What was scalises actual stance on healthcare. Well he is Majority Whip so he broke people's arms to get them to vote for it. He's arguably one of the top 5 most responsible for this. So again, gently caress him, he deserved it.

Shooter is going to be some right wing nut who's being personally, savagely hosed over by the healthcare bill. Calling it now.

Maybe if they'd had guns this wouldn't have happened? Wonder if they ever considered that. (Seriously, hope nobody died. I live not too far away...)

When is the last time a high-profile shooting of an American politician was committed by someone who wasn't a far-right racist? I'm trying to remember but I can't tell if it's just because shootings are so common that I'm missing some, or if it's legitimately not in my living memory.

ReidRansom posted:Sounds plausible. But really could be anyone at this point given how much congress is hated. There's reports that Jeff Duncan may have talked to the shooter before Duncan left the practice, so is possible that the guy went there to bitch about something or whatever, got *real* mad, and just pulled his rifle out of his car and started blasting. Rather than it being some giant pre-planned thing. Dude probably knew what he was going to do though.

And there's no indication right now that he specifically was being targeted anyway. Could be the whole group was the target or some other individual and Scalise was just the unlucky one to get hit.

we had the primaries for the governorship literally yesterday. the gop race was super close. guy that won was some rando establishment republican. guy that lost was a reddit superstar who called people cucks. im not placing bets or anything because i have no idea, but the fact that it happened less than 24 hours after makes me think it's connected, and 'random alt. right guy gets mad that the establishment republicans hosed over his guy' seems plausible.
