Our culture has half the country extremely opposed to the other half, to the point that we are not respectful, but hateful when we disagree! Why isn't it any surprise that an attempt at an assassination is being cheered, with some bemoaning the miss? What type of people instead of pausing and reflecting are actually sad he missed, what type of heart do they have at the moment?
If you have ever wondered how Nazi Germany got so many common people to work in all of the concentration camps, where people were horribly abused and gassed, now you should know? Common people, who would go home to their families, have family reunions, birthday parties, neighborhood cookouts, and go to work and slaughter people?
Hate as a motivation poisons everything, law, personal interactions, and even peace is soiled by it.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidYou think that's who a 20 year old registered Republican was listening to?
Someone needs to tell the Dems/Left that, they are the only ones spewing hate 24/7. Look at the vile things Joy Behar, Rachel Maddow, Whoopi Goldberg have been saying for the past four years.
We really need a lot more information to determine whether this had any political motive at all, much less what it might be.

Seriously?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidNo, I'm not - there just isn't enough information.

Could be just some kid wanting to be famous; we just don't know yet.
We do know he's a registered Republican and has been since he could first do so.
@no1marauder saidSo a gun toting moron then?

@shavixmir saidDoes it really matter if he WAS a Republican or Democrat he wanted to kill somebody! Attempting to paint him left or right as if either of those justifies or condemns only highlights the hypocrisy both sides have shown!

@no1marauder saidI hadn't thought of the wanting to be famous angle, so you have a point, same as the guy that killed John Lennon even though he was a fan..

Who is constantly demonising the left, the woke, the communists… whipping up hatred?
Who is constantly firing off conspiracy after conspiracy?
Who wants to replace the democracy with an extreme religious right-wing bunch of yea men?
Who doesn’t want to pay for health care, including psychiatric care?
That’s the basis of your society. You sowed the seeds, you shall reap the rewards.
@shavixmir saidcommunists responsible for the deaths of millions deserve demonisation.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidIn the interests of full disclosure, it's been reported that when Crooks was 17 he made a $15 contribution to ActBlue earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a liberal leaning organization. https://www.aol.com/news/heres-know-thomas-matthew-crooks-084127578.html

A year later he did register as a Republican.
He apparently still lived with his parents so at some point they might provide some information regarding his motivation.
@shavixmir saidIt takes a person to pull a trigger while pointing a gun at someone else. Years ago kids use to bring their guns to school for shooting clubs, the make and models of guns changing didn’t turn the world upside to where victim hood and hate crimes drive the culture of hate.

Our devaluation of human life, couple with people thinking others are threatening if they don’t agree with them, if they don’t also abdicate for their wishes and desires as they think they should. Where they are so thin skinned disagreeing is now hateful.
@no1marauder saidtell the truth you sniveling bastard…he donated to democrats and was affiliated with blackrock
