Steve Scalise was shot in the hip. Some others have minor wounds.

Nobody dead. Nobody critical.

Because if he was talking to people he certainly had the rifle away, and it's like....why would a mass shooter bother wasting time if he already knows what he came to do?

Measure twice, cut once. We wouldn't want to shoot up a bunch of innocent people.

Conservatives saying poo poo to the tune of "Democrats and the MSM fanning the flames of hate" and then liberals saying poo poo like "well what did you expect when they take away people's healthcare?!"

Politics isn't a game. People suffer and die because of the terrible laws these rotten pieces of poo poo want to pass, and have passed, in Congress. People have had enough of it and I don't blame them even slightly.

Wasn't it a baseball practice? There must be a bat around somewhere.

We need a real debate about bat-based injuries, not just guns.

this doesn't even make sense, it was a republican practice game for the republican vs democrats baseball game later in the week. if the guy knows enough to know the republicans are going to be at the baseball field, he'd know enough to know that it's only going to be republicans.

hint: establishment democrats are, once again, rigging what should be a fair contest


edit:

From 2016:

sportsball statistics posted:

The GOP’s one hitter who rates above even that lofty baseline is Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana. One of the Republicans’ hardest-working players, Scalise has forced his way into the starting lineup after years as a bench player with the league’s fifth-highest wRAA—behind only the Democrats’ four elite sluggers.

Scalise was the obvious target.
