If the guy was there to kill and got that many shots and didn't kill one person with an open field -- do you think he was there to kill......was he that bad of a shot.
There were people scattered all over the field -- isn't it curious that not one person was fatally wounded.
I know nothing about guns, what he was shooting, if it is difficult to hit a target?
There is only about 20 sq.in of body mass from any angle standing, that is a fatal hit.
If someone is not well trained to squeeze, they are going to jerk the trigger, pulling the shot to the side the of the hand the shooter is using to operate the trigger. Right handed, shots are going to be to the right.
This means -- if it was the shooter -- he had planned to shoot them regardless -- he didn't know which 'team' they played on but showed up with a gun anyways.
That's my conclusion.
Mine too.
If the shooter was actually the person who posed the question, it appears he came prepared to shoot, regardless of who was practicing.
Who told him they would be there at 7:00A? That's what I would like to know.
This is the first time I've seen my Congressman's name mentioned in a news story.
The Congressional Republican Democratic ballgame has been an annual event for as long as I can remember. I am sure the practice fields are well known to anybaody in the area who is interested.
I've been saying for a long time that the DC swamp is not safe for Republicans. Time to move the government out of the Swamp to a neutral location or let the Dims have the Swamp and move the Republican majority controlling the House, Senate and Presidency to Texas..
My husband and I just discussed the *same* thing. It's possible that he showed up ready to kill regardless of whom was on the field. Speculation at this point is pretty pointless.
I'm a little jarred by the eyewitness account of Scalise dragging himself 50 feet through the dirt, leaving a trail of blood. This is just shocking.
Genius, if he planned to shoot anyone, why did he inquire about the political party of those playing?
This should be a lesson to the people who are on here fighting for their side like it's their mother. The side you fight for is playing sports with the other side. They are all friends. The whole D/R is theater and some of you get so worked up over it.
