I would be curious to know which hospital they took him to and how hard they really tried to "save him" ???

The Congressman was not taken to the general hospital that most trauma victims go to, he went to the teaching hospital where the best care is available ...

 

No I have been opposed to the death penalty since my early 20's when I figured out that in trying to execute people for killing innocent people we sometimes killed innocent people. And that if we break the logic of the death penalty down to its most basic form we as a society are saying it is ok to kill someone as long as you have a good enough reason. But the problem with that is then it also goes down to the individuals who also get to think its ok to kill someone as long as they have a good enough reason. Which is exactly what this shooter thought. To him just being Republicans was a good enough reason to kill them and he was willing to have the death penalty inflicted on him immediately.

And to me this is a little worse than just our average mass shooting. This was an assassination attempt. And that is the next step up in our national violence. And I hate to see that because there are always copy cats waiting in the wings.

 

Here is another thing. I am glad the only one killed was the shooter. But that's actually a small consolation. Nobody breaks even when they are shot. Bullets are made to create damage and they will never be the same again.

 

I also had to think a little bit more about what I said I regretted that the shooter was killed. Which is true in an ideal world. But in the real world if I was one of those cops who had to run down the barrel of an AK 47 with just a hand gun I would have emptied my gun on him reloaded and shot him some more.

 

this was a form of Terrorism, terror attack/assassination attempt mode. this guy clearly was a Bernie Saunders voter, he hated Clinton and Trump. but you guys can't jump on him and blame Obama. he's not the part of it. everybody makes their own choices. his choice was to kill the Republicans because he seen them as threat to Future of America. that's how i would imagine it if i was thinking like him. you gotta think like everybody to get sense of what his state was at. i don't think he acted on ISIS's orders or anybody but his own. he had reason to go after Republicans. if it was Democrats, he would still go after them anyway. to him, Democratic Party and Republican Party don't matter to them. only destruction of the Both Parties for America's future and their place in the world.

 

additionally, it was Trump's fault. i mean, nobody remembered that Trump also did remove the rules and laws of selling guns to mentally ill set by Obama administration, rolled them back to allow them to purchase a weapon. that's how it happened. i also do believe that this man, the shooter was mentally ill too.

 

And I was figuring that I wasted money buying an AR-15, Trijicon scope, 1500 rounds, magazines to hold them, and a speed loader.
But that all may come in handy if the libtards bring it on...

I'd imagine the 5.62 will become scarce.

Note to self: Food and water...maybe a new kevlar jacket. Maybe Undeniable can answer...can civilians buy the outfit in Undeniable's avatar?

 

Really sick how some people try to push this tragedy with just stupid partisan bullshit actually hoping for more violence and death.

 

I don't think anyone wants more violence and death. Nor did we ask for it in any way shape or form. It's being brought on, and speaking for myself,
I refuse to tolerate it.

 

Bullshit there pardner.

In April 2006, police records show Hodgkinson went to a neighbor’s house looking for his daughter and “used bodily force to damage” a wooden door upstairs. Witnesses said Hodgkinson forced his way into the home looking for his teenage daughter and grabbed her by the hair when he found her upstairs, according to a police narrative on file with St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department.

His daughter escaped and got into the neighbor’s car, but Hodgkinson opened the door of the car, pulled out a pocket knife and cut off the seat belt she was wearing, records show. Hodgkinson’s wife joined him, struggling to pull out their daughter, as Hodgkinson punched the neighbor who was in the driver’s seat of the car in the face, witnesses told police.

Later, Joel Fernandez, the boyfriend of the woman who was punched, went to Hodgkinson’s home to confront him. He said Hodgkinson “walked outside with a shotgun and aimed it at Fernandez face,” a complaint states. Hodgkinson struck Fernandez on the side of his face with the wooden stock of the shotgun and fired off one round as Fernandez ran away.

Police arrested Hodgkinson and his wife and charged them with domestic battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to a narrative obtained by The Washington Post. Police also recovered a 12-gauge shotgun. The county clerk’s online database shows the charges were later dismissed.

-------------------

Oh yeah...definitely Trump's fault. He should have known that rolling back the rule on February 28, 2017 would give Hodgkinson access to guns in 2006. And considering the charges were dismissed, one might assume that he at least had a valid firearms license at the time, which he probably renewed whenever state/local law required it. (Then again, who knows. A bleedin' heart prosecutor in Illinois might have decided to show leniency.)

 

Why was this guy still able to have guns?

 

I didn't ask for this either, but its time to nut up or shut up.

 

Ah, so it's true. Shit never takes a day off.

 

Oh yeah this would have been a big help today if the police could not tell where the shots were coming from.

House committee was set to quietly ease gun restrictions hours before baseball field rampage

 

I'd say that's a question for some people in Illinois.

 

Well nobody ever said the left wingers were well. The shooter yesterday just proved that point. I guess the left could be credited with job growth now. Just look at the additional police officers that are going to be hired to protect against left wing whack jobs!

 

So I have a question for the leftists here. Where has Obama been during yesterday's shooting? I checked his Twitter & FB account, but not even an I'm sorry to hear about the shooting. Weird, huh????

 

drop it, you crazy right wing nut. he wasn't even at home. he was busy with his family.
