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. (He is exactly that, and I want to see him defeated in 2018). Even if Rep. Scalise were a KKK fascist he would not deserve to be shot.
Here's hoping for a recovery of Representative Scalise from his wounds, no matter how much I hold his politics in contempt. .
Yes, political violence is dangerous to both sides, and to our republic. Sorry to see Rep. Scalise injured.
