Been watching this for a couple of hours now. Sounds like his security detail, made up of local police, are going to be in line for the Presidential Medal of Freedom or something closely related to that. Both took fire and were hit and continued to return fire after being wounded. It is thought one of those 2 is responsible for eventually taking out the shooter.
Rand Paul was on the field. Apparently he had just left Scalise's side. One of the Congressman's 10 year old son was in the dugout. And one Congressman reported being asked if those were Dems or GOP on the field, just minutes before the shooting started.
Side note, Wolf Blitzer is an idiot.

Prayers to Congressman Scalise as well as the other victims. I hope the decades-long trend of showmanship by violence will reach its peak soon and we can begin a return to normalcy, but I am not optimistic that is the case as we become increasingly desenstized by the frequency of similar attacks. Disturbing and tragic.

Originally posted by seskridgeViolence is bad no matter what but I do find it interesting you never post when trump supporters kill people. Extremism is bad no matter what side.
So far, I know of zero killings perpetrated by Trump supporters on their political rivals. Zero. I'm sure a Trump supporter has shot someone in the last 100 days. I'm less sure that a single Trump supporter has shot anyone for being a Democrat. Ever.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Honestly, I don't really have a major problem with politicizing a tragedy. I get that it's probably not in good taste, but if the tragedy is the basis for the argument you're trying to make, then it makes sense to talk about it.
If poor response to Katrina is the reason we should change the way FEMA operates, then we should openly discuss that as the response is going on. No one said "let's not politicize the Flint water crisis." No one says "let's not politicize the deaths from abortion."
