House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and aides were shot at a baseball practice in Virginia Wednesday, Fox News confirmed.

Fox is also reporting the gunman has been shot and killed. Hopefully he's the only fatality.

I don't really give a crap if Steve Scalise dies.

CBS is reporting it was a charity game with both GOP and Dems.

In before "it was the libs"

Really, you should. America doesnt need an extreme divide where policians become assassination targets. Prior history of such acknowledged.

Really interesting to see the mask drop on some members when things like this happen.

On the other hand it looks like Scalise's mere presence helped save lives.

Rand Paul on MSNBC says Scalise being there likely saved everyone because his presence (he's leadership) meant Capitol Police were there​

I've never pretended that I don't hate Republicans.

Why should I give a crap about his life when he doesn't give a crap about the many Americans that will die if he gets what he wants?

Alexandria police are reporting that the shooter is in custody.

Well, that sure blew the Sessions reports off the news radar.

CBS is reporting it was a charity game with both GOP and Dems.

I didn't listen to the report, but it was a practice, not a game, and only the GOP members were there. The game is (was) scheduled for tomorrow night.

Can any of our readers here identify "part of the problem".

The problem are Republican trash in Congress and the White House.

So what if one of them dies.

That seems pretty silly.

We don't even know yet if it was his presence that precipitated the attack in the first place.

Heh, fortunately, it's right on the avatar, so there should be less confusion. Republican or Democrat, Scalise was elected by the people to represent this country. An attack on any member of congress is an attack on our democracy and constitution.

How is this relevant to the thread? You seem to be personalizing the debate with off topics posts.

It is relevant to why I don't give a crap if that piece of **** dies. And I didn't personalize anything. That would be the poster I responded to.

Oh, I don't know... maybe it encourages further violence, jeopardising your democracy until what's left is something far less desirable?

And if that doesn't happen?

If the opportunity presented itself, and there was a guarantee of no personal reprecussions, would you kill a politician?
