[gcubed]

Wtf

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Absolutely not shocked if this was targeted. Hope no one was seriously injured.

 

[Stinkles]

MSNBC says he and an aide have been brought to the hospital. Scalise was shot in the hip. 14 to 50 shots from a rifle.

 

[Htown]

Damn, hope nobody is seriously hurt

 

[andythinkpad]

Washington better start doing something otherwise this country is heading toward Civil War II,

 

[Daedardus]

This is sickening, shooting people is not the way how you solve problems.

 

[Transistor]

God damn I hope everyone recovers ok

 

[LiK]

CBS reporting more than 50 shots fired.

 

[Tovarisc]

Damn, hope nobody is seriously hurt

For now all reports are about wounded, no reported fatalities.

Scalise apparently took hit to his hip so that may require some reconstruction if shattered bone.

 

[Weckum]

Anyone have a livestream? I can only find this one:

[Beartruck]

In our current Intensely polarized political climate this shit was bound to happen sooner or later, unfortunately.

Hope he recovers, and hopefully it is just injuries and no fatalities.

 

[Previous]

CBS has live footage of what appears to be a congressman being loaded onto a medical chopper. Reporter obviously recognized him but held back name.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Holy shit!
I hope the injured make a quick recovery

 

[Darryl M R]

I'm not familiar with Steve's voting history but this incident is not shocking to me. Desperate people execute desperate actions. The situation is unfortunate.

If this is a random, non targeted attack then it is just very untimely.

 

[Za-Neen-Jya]

I really hope this wasn't politically motivated.

 

[FreezeSSC]

Hope he recovers.

This is confirmed to be a targeted attack?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

CBS reporting more than 50 shots fired.

Wonder what his stance is on gun control.

 

[A Serious Man]

MSNBC just reported that Scalise is in stable condition.

 

[Host Samurai]

I have no remorse for a party that wants to kick 25 million off healthcare. I wonder what healthcare he's on?

 

[Boylamite]

Nvm

 

[theCalamity]

This is confirmed to be a targeted attack?

Not yet

The good shit

 

[CHC]

Wonder what his stance is on gun control.

Scalise is very pro-gun, and has also given speeches at an organization founded by David fucking Duke.

I'm gonna hold my tongue here.

 

[i_am_ben]

I think it's a little early for the types of comments some of you are making.

 

[guit3457]

Come on now....

 

[sangreal]

I'm not familiar with Steve's voting history but this is incident is not shocking to me.

Let's put it this way: he describes himself as David Duke without the baggage

 

[Htown]

I think it's a little early for the types of comments some of you are making.

yeah it's pretty tasteless

 

[KarneeKarnay]

I really hope this wasn't politically motivated.

Regardless, it will become politically motivated.

 

[Chuck Norris]

FFS, this is the kind of shit that will pull Republicans together further. Please don't be politically motivated

The good shit

50 shots, I don't think it was an accident.

 

[Mohonky]

It's a good thing GOP don't understand irony.....

 

[Darryl M R]

I'm gonna hold my tongue here.

I really want to know how the GOP will respond to this shooting especially if it is confirmed not to be targeted.

Do you talk about gun laws? I'm willing to bet they will say the "radical Left" orchestrated this attack.

50 shots, I don't think it was an accident.

Agreed, 50 doesn't sound like an accident at all.

 

[A Serious Man]

I really hope this wasn't politically motivated.

The odds of that are basically zero.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I have no idea who this guy is but if it was a targeted attack that's unfortunate but it won't be the last. It's what we're coming to.

 

[Ac30]

Regardless, it will become politically motivated.

Of course it will be. God forbid it was a democrat or some shit.

 

[HStallion]

I really want to know how the GOP will respond to this shooting especially if it is confirmed not to be targeted.

Crisis actors!

 

[Mr. X]

yeah it's pretty tasteless

Self described David Duke? No such thing.

 

[newjeruse]

Such an idiotic thing to do, even aside from the part where you shouldn't try to kill people.

If the shooter was politically motivated, this will only provide sympathy for the GOP.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

I have no remorse for a party that wants to kick 25 million off healthcare. I wonder what healthcare he's on?

Stay classy there bucko.

 

[theechrisfox]

Sooner or later they will come to regret making guns easier to get than a job and more affordable than an education.

 

[HylianTom]

I'm gonna hold my tongue here.

Yup. Taking the same tact this morning.

 

[Impeccable]

Baseball practice?

 

[djplaeskool]

I'm gonna hold my tongue here.

Yeah, I'm grasping my tongue with both hands at the moment...

 

[Tovarisc]

Agreed, 50 doesn't sound like an accident at all.

Also if reports about AR with long to mid range scope are accurate it means this was targeted and somewhat well planned.

 

[Zolo]

I expect there will be more attacks on congress members and the press with the current environment in the nation. Especially if their healthcare bill gets passed through. It'll be smart for members to get more security anyway. Hopefully, this doesn't lead to trying to blame & cracking down on negative press. Hope all the victims here pull through this.
