Care for his kids and family.
I guess if one wants to get political on this at this time....care for a speedy recovery for the guy and a re-evaluation of his opinion on the matter when he returns to work.

Looks like a lot of those shots were return fire, but fro the remarks of Gary Palmer the guy likely missed with his first shot. So the remark that the guy wasn't that great of a shot sounds right. Scary part is that he was circling around to the dugout where folks (including a 10 year old ball boy) were hunkering down. Evidently a staffer or security guy, who was already wounded, kept firing and running around returning fire (and was reportedly the one who got him) - hero status there.

Been on FBGs since 2003, I may have to use the ignore button for the first time.

I will care about his kids and family as much as he cared about the millions he voted to throw off health insurance. Hear the one about the father whose child will die when this law passes? Keep trying...I have zero, none, absolutely no sadness for this guy or his family. The others who have been shot, its terrible. Maybe if Scalise didnt take money from the NRA their would have been laws to protect them.

It's not just about the person. It's about the rule of law* and the more abstract "I feel bad for this guys situation because it forces me to think about what would happen if I were in that situation".
* Sure....on the surface the crime against Scalise isn't any different than any of the other people shot today...

Yes, those other people who were shot didnt vote to take others off HC.

Scalise's security detail was on top of it and good response by both capital and Alexandria police.
Scalise in stable condition at GW, everyone expected to recover.
The shooter was yelling before and during his assault.

He was voting to restore the country more closely to how he thinks it should be run...not with massive entitlements for everyone. It's likely done because he thinks the country will be worse off down the road if its saddled with debt and he thinks the government is really bad at doing healthcare. That doesn't make him a terrible person necessarily, it just makes him wrong imo.
There are all kinds of different views on what government should and shouldn't do, and we can't realistically just walk around saying you are a good person if you want the government to give stuff to people and you're bad if you don't. Same thing with gun control.
Fight for your viewpoint in campaigns, with your voice, etc...but we have always been a nation of differing views but we don't have to be a nation that demonizes those we disagree with.
That being said there are some terrible people in politics...but that's not determined simply by their political views but more by their actions.

If politically motivated it won't be surprising. The rhetoric from the looney left is beyond anything we've seen right now. The threads on this board are perfect examples of just how far gone these types are.

Same guy that likes to run people off the road if they have a Trump sticker on their car. Even if it could kill someone else in the process. The point will be made!

I'm interested to learn more about his reasoning as it's as possible he is from the extreme right wing as it is that he's from the left.

There are heroes here for sure, a mess. So much terror for those involved.
That being said, I still have no care about one person who was shot. None at all, he voted to kill people...

Thanks for the wishes on staying safe. Lockdown was lifted about 30 minutes ago, and we're all safe. Decided not to get any closer to investigate, since I was already too close for comfort.
I noticed the road that I usually drive down to get to the day care was closed, so I drove down to the next block to get to it. So, I basically drove even closer to the eye of the storm. I didn't know there was a shooting until I got into the day care and they told me about the lockdown.
I could use a stiff drink right now.

Why do you assume he is from the left? You realize folks on the far right hate the establishment too right? Drain the swamp? Throw the bums out? Yeah...that was the tea party folks.

Says the guy who didnt bat an eye to a Rep from Wyoming body slamming a reporter on tape then winning an election the next day. By the way he plead guilty!
But share more about how you are not politically motivated.

Characterizing the left as looney does not seem calculated to heal rifts and to forge understanding and appreciation of our fellow citizens.

Yeah I know right!!1!!11!!
WILMINGTON, N.C. — Donald J. Trump on Tuesday appeared to raise the possibility that gun rights supporters could take matters into their own hands if Hillary Clinton is elected president and appoints judges who favor stricter gun control measures.
Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

The takeaway is look at how vicious everyone is being to each other in this thread. Everyone is at each others throats. Politics is at a wildly heated level right now. This is as bad as ive seen.

This was set up by the GOP. Hey if pizzagate was believable, they can believe that, right? Also, where was the right caring about those shot there?

Why am I not surprised that this thread fell quickly into right v left, political rhetoric.

I'm just saying let's not assume we know why the guy did it. There's a lot of hate and/or crazy to go around.

So you are a fake moral one with the name calling, typical of the right. I'm against this and that and this and that based off morals, but I will call you names when I dont like you.

He says this right after a person calls another a name. Name calling fine, opinions, nope.
U are perma ban worthy in my opinion, difference is, I dont cry about it and act all snowflakey. Perma ban because my feelings about Scalise are not what you think they should be?

More of this please
I don't follow politics as closely as some of you but I feel pretty confident that had a vote to kill people had come up either in the House or the Senate, I would have known.

The one thing we should all agree on is that we don't want to be a country where the 2nd Amendment ever becomes a response to the 1st Amendment.

Just give he and Munny the axe would help a lot. And that's just from what I've seen others quote.

100 or so shots fired. Capitol police are the ones who took shooter down. Suspect still alive.

Scalise represents Jefferson Parish and part of New Orleans. I really wish the best for him and the other victims. Political violence is very bad, for any country. The softball game is about the two parties doing something positive together and building bipartisan relationships and goodwill. There's nothing good to come out of this but hopefully the SOB who did this is a pure crazy.

Things would have to get pretty bad indeed for that to be justified and no one should want that.

Less facts and reality please, it is easier for them to avoid the facts that way.More of this please
