This would be enough to suggest a charge of Attempted First-Degree Murder, as it shows a motive. I've said some nasty things about my district's elected stooge of every imaginable corporate lobbyist.

Here's hoping for a recovery of Representative Scalise from his wounds, no matter how much I hold his politics in contempt. .
