On the other hand, it doesn't sound as though it was particularly high-visibility. No cameras, no live news coverage--if he was looking chiefly for a splash, doesn't it make sense that he'd wait for something showier? Just because the event itself wasn't live on TV doesn't mean anything. Look at the visibility of the results. It's a good point.

I have read every word of the 595 replies. I'm impressed--I went outside to sweep snow for 15 minutes and they ripped off 15 pages.......... No way am I going back and reading the middle twenty pages of this thread...... Casey

Several people died, A woman is in the hospital with a gunshot wound to her head. And some say that it's OK because she chose to be a politician and some say that is OK because her opinions may have differed from their opinions. Step back and think about this for a moment. If someone differs with your opinions do they deserve to die? Where does the OK to die park begin and where does it end. I shoot a 22 K-hornet and like liver. Should I me shot for those opinions. I drive a Ford. Where should I report for execution? If my wife cooks my eggs to hard this morning am I justified in shooting her? Heaven forbid anyone like me should have a difference of beliefs or opinion. Really? You read all the posts and you found somebody who said it was OK for her to be shot? I don't think I found anything like that even from the partisans. Where were you looking? But your next point is indeed a good one. I'm pretty sure I heard some overtures about preemptively rounding up "lunatics," apparently defined as "people who don't agree with me," where the exact nature of the "me" is not clear. I mean, I suppose I could tolerate the Ford, even though I'm a Toyota man myself, because I'm basically a nice guy. But owning a Smith & Wesson--especially if you bought it new rather than getting it used--might well approach lunacy as far as I'm concerned, right? It is certainly sobering to see how desperate people are to throw their liberties--and other people's, especially other people's--at the State after something like this, so that the safety of their rulers might increase.

At least Barak is part of the Kairos Prison Ministry and spreading the good word of God. Not so sure anymore.. And now a few posts backpedaling at full-speed?? Gentlemen, I'm totally serious when I say it's time to simply ignore Barak.. Tune him out.. Do not respond, reply, attempt to use logic, whatever.. It's obviously a total waste of time, energy and brain power.. I don't know what's happened to him, but whatever it is, I want no part of it.. As far as I'm concerned, from this very minute forward, he's a non-entity.. And to anyone in his vicinity, it might be time to be fore-warned and prepared.. Something's seriously wrong here.. Prayers for help needed now.. Y'all do what ya need to.. I know what I'll be doin'...

It sure was spot on as to the limits of your comprehension,that's for certain.

I can't believe I waded through all this crap except what Barak and TRH posted is not crap as usual.
1. I'm happy I'm a Pagan and don't have all that Bible stuff to deal with.
2. It is my greatest dream that medical science will be able some day to come up with a cure for the mental illness that afflicts financiers and politicans.
3. Without the financial and political class anarchy works.
4. It is tragic that anybody is killed or injured at any political rally but it goes with the territory. When one group of people tries to control and exercise power over another group well then it happens.
5. Some of the most insane people this country ever produced, or so King George the Third thought, were:
Sam Adams
John Adams
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Ben Franklin
Patrick Henry
Thomas Paine
Etc.
6. I guess I'm a radical anarcho-capitalist. The lowest form of life is the financial and political class. I find it very hard to shed a tear for whatever happens to them.

Barak,
You really are stupid! Every single person that was shot or killed was an innocent! How can you say that a politician and a judge are not innocent? Have you not read every scripture myself and others have posted? Apparrently you pick and choose the parts of the bible that you want to follow and ignore the rest.
It's people like you that give religion, God, Jesus and the bible a bad name!
When it comes to you punk not so bad and ok is the same thing. You refuse to understand everyone was innocent. Apparently in your limited brain capacity don't fully understand the situation, the bible, or this world. You are a punk that is no better than the killer for in your own way trying to justify and support this azzhole because he whacked a judge and almost whacked a congress member.
You sir are no christian or God fearing.
God forgive me for being agry and arguing, but you need an awakening barak. You need a better understanding. Maybe some omega 3 or ginko will help!

The Dude has showed up. It will be on now. Amazing. Nope, I made my statement. After 64 pages this thread is over. The lines are drawn in the sand. You have the financial and political class screwing everything up. The sheeple class who enjoy the screwing and the super small minority who understand the screwing and are waiting for a better life on the other side. Nothing will change.

They were doing nothing wrong! They were out on a saturday morning visiting with each other and talking with their elected official when this happened. Explain to me please what they were doing wrong?

Haven't read the whole thread, and not gonna.
I would think that in principle at least, the "it's time to shoot the politicians!" chest-thumpers around here are very supportive of this shooting? Not the particulars, perhaps, but in principle?
Internet invective can have consequences. Every person here knows in their heart that this wack-job built up to this, internally, by finding people sayin' chit on the Internet who talked openly about shooting politicians. This is the power of words.
The CENTER will hold.
Reality, Patriotism,Trump: you can only pick two
FÜCK PUTIN!

Explain to me please what they were doing wrong? You implied that an understanding of the New Testament informs one that everyone is innocent. Stop trying to squirm out of your statements via obfuscation.

You are going nowhere with this one. Not because you are incorrect, but because you are rational.
