    It seems like two different people with other media people attaching photos. My money is on the NYPost having got the suspects name correct.

    How deep do you have to put your head in the sand to actually believe this?

    You probably think James hodgkinson ( remember him or has he already gone down the memory hole ? )....... That would be the left winger that went hunting Republican Congress people on the ball field that day..... You probably think he was a right winger too don't you

    Well, Democrat politicians and pundits are working hard to drive Biden out of office. Electing Trump will certainly do that for them.

    But I still think LW Trump haters are the most likely suspects.

    I am not sure if you don’t get it or are doing that post-misrepresenting thing you guys like to do to get under your opponents skin, so in case it’s the former: I think he is an exceptionally destructive force, even compared to other conservative leaders. It’s not hate, it’s just how I see him. But assassination is not the way to settle political differences. Hell, I don’t even believe in capital punishment. I could say some people deserve it more than others, much like the case here, but I would not advocate for either capital punishment or political assassination.

    well you tend to define political violence to meet your agenda. attacks on police officers is almost always from left-wingers but leftwing propagandists don't call that political violence. I'd say the three mopes Kyle Rittenhouse shot were engaged in leftwing violence for example. same with the two mopes who killed a retired black police Captain during the BLM riots, or the leftwing anarchist attorneys who earned a minor slap on the wrist for arson when they firebombed police vehicles

    There is wall to wall commentary about this probably all over the World but certainly down here.

    The common thrust seems to be that there has to be (an unlikely) fundamental change to how politics works in the USA given there was a seismic shift in 2016.

    My suggestion is that both Biden and Humpty* drop out.

    If either stay in, the likelihood of massive civil unrest seems inevitable.

    Career criminals are largely non-voters. But most murderers are regular people who ****ed up (terrible argument that got out of hand, bitter divorce that got out of hand, etc.) They are more likely to be conservative, but only because being conservative correlates with being male, having guns, being poor, things that also correlate with a higher risk of homicide.

    Wait, are you actually trying to claim that the takeovers in Seattle and Portland were done by minors who were 17 and under?

    uh that's not true, black males commit about half the murders in the USA despite being about 6.5% of the population. Most murderers are urban black males between the ages of 15 and 40. that silly report you cite was written by leftwing political operatives-one for Warren, the other for Schumer, and confuses red states with white males. Lots of red states have lots of blacks.

    Race doesn’t prove your point. Red states have more murder.

    This is the real Thomas Crooks. This picture is meant to be funny. He's not tardy. The real shooter, who has a likeness is a real Antifa ****.

    57% of all murders are committed by young blacks. No, they are not even slightly conservatives.

    Roughly 55% of the Black population lives in the south and southeast regions of the United States. A majority of the top ten states are located in this region. The rest of the Black population is split into 18% in the Midwest, 17% in the Northeast, and 10% in the West.

    Texas has the highest Black population in the United States of 3,936,669, about 14% of Texas's total population. Texas is the second-most diverse state in the U.S. Following Texas is Florida with 3,867,495 (18%), New York with 3,763,977 (19%), and Georgia with 3,549,349 (34%).

    btw DC has the highest percentage of black residents-and its murder rate is well known
