Looks like somebody may have been intolerant of intolerance.
Or maybe is just a crazy nutjob, it’s too soon to tell and too soon to speculate.
Still, if this shooting turns out to be politically motivated, look for several liberals to distance themselves from the violence while noting that, though they abhor the action, they can nevertheless understand and sympathize with its motivation. Hate needs to be stopped, you see. And sometimes good people just love so very much — and hate hate with such a burning, righteous hatred — that they make these kinds of principled mistakes.
Such a position will be deemed “brave” and controversial, but worthy of an intellectual debate. If only because the gunman was only bad because deep down he is so very good.
Definitely Tea Party, amirite?
It’s probably a faggoty-ass faggot.
I’d imagine that on certain blogs not even the violence will be denounced.
Query: Was the “irresponsible rhetoric” of the media, Democratic politicians and the punditry about “hate” and “civil rights” responsible?
Good news in a couple of ways:
1. The guard was hit in the arm and he’ll be OK.
2. These proggs can’t shoot for shit.
I blame Obama, Alec.
I wasn’t expecting this quite so soon. Guess I should advance my timetable.
I know, Squid. My rifle isn’t here and my ammo hasn’t even fucking shipped — though I do have a bunch of empty new 20 rd 308 mags.
I’m going to have a coronary.
I’m surprised this has not been a longer, hotter summer. Occupy kinda crapped right out.
Occupy kinda crapped right out.
Well, it was over-hyped last summer. Never as “big” as they claimed it to be.
I expected this to start happening sooner. I guess the OWeeeS haven’t got their shit together yet.
Refresh would be my friend if I actually used it more often.

Hey, wait a minute. It’s illegal to carry a gun in DC. This simply couldn’t have happened.
Kind of sad and telling that they have to have a guard at all, isn’t it?
. . . it’s Chinatown.
Nice. The guard who was shot, Leo Johnson, wrestled the perp down and disarmed him. You go, Leo!
The FBI is classifying it as “Domestic Terrorism”, which is different than workplace violence, I guess. Allahu akbar.
– You were right Darleen. The Left is hiding on this one. Barely 100 comments on their article, and only a few showing the usual stupidgead Progressive type thinking.
– They know only too well when to stay away.
– For future reference whenever I say “their article” I’m referring to something written on HuffPoop or other places like Kos idiots, both of which I refuse any longer to link.
– Don’t have a cow Jeff. I read somewhere that the US Postal service ordered a shitload of anno. Why I have no fucking idea, but they did. I think it was on Drudge.
Somebody’s been looking at Twitchy.com
Talked to Wideners. Ammo order, though still listed as “processing,” has already shipped and will be here tomorrow. That’s the mil surplus stuff. Frangible ammo shipped as well from a different supplier and will be here tomorrow or Friday. Rifle slated to arrive tomorrow. Scope is here. Bobro mount is here. Scope pop-up covers due this weekend. Sling and sling swivel mounts are here. Extra mags here. Hogue grip w/ storage here. Combo foregrip/bipod (with swivel and cant) is here. Ladder rail guards are here. Voodoo Tac carry bag arrives tomorrow.
What I really need now is practice mastering the scope and reticle, as well as the recoil of the rifle. I need to shoot from a bench, from a squat, from kneeling, and prone (with and without the bipod). I also need to master the cheek weld with this rifle and use the reticle open-eyed for rapid fire practice. The trigger upgrade may have to wait, which is unfortunate, because I’d like to train with a specific 3.5-4 lb crisp pull. But hopefully there’ll be more time before the zombies come.
Seems about right on time, to me. The question is, will the misguided left start to calm down the truly crazy? Going to go with “no,” unfortunately.
– Ok. This freeking ‘Hill-eryous’.

Don’t forget standing and moving. Zombies can be tricksy.
jeez louise. I was just gonna get a shotgun. Point and spray.
BBH,
Sounds like brilliant reverse psychology. O team would never agree to look like it’s taking Palin’s advice. But Hillary probably doesn’t want to put her future prospects at risk this late in the campaign anyway and O would also be admitting that his first presidential decision had been a mistake. Biden stays on the ticket!
missfixit,
No kidding. Get yourself a handgun, too.
Also, get yourself a ragtag bunch of well-armed misfits. Just make sure you trust ’em to stand a watch.
Naturally. The scope I have excels at CQB target acquisition. It’s like a red dot site, only it’s black in daylight or illuminated in lower light conditions — and it can go out to about 800 yards an effective range.
C’,mon folks. This is just silly.
The FRC shooter wasn’t a nut job, and wasn’t a “gun-crazed assassin”, as some have described.
He was just a “SPIRITED” progressive who hated the haters at FRC.
So, nothing to see, move along……
Zombies are kinda slow, cause their dead, as the sheriff from the original Night of the Living Dead movie noted.
Those were the old school zombies, charles. Your newer zombies are pretty speedy. See; “Zombieland” and “Shaun of the Dead” for two examples.
Hilarious, ProudVast.
“Don’t shoot until you see the New Tone in their eyes!”
Our robot warriors of the future will be using this type of ammunition.
– On that Palin thing, its even more embarrassing, since the majority of comments on the HuffPoop version are tending to agree with Palin.
– You get some idea of the level of panic on the Left when the true believers actually start agreeing with Sarah.
Off topic Darleen, but it is hard to out do Amanda Marcotte…
The attacker-gunman’s name has emerged: “A source tells ABC7’s Scott Thuman that the suspect is Floyd Corkin, 28, of Virginia.”
Brian Ross reports that there is a “Lloyd Corcoran” of Virginia whose sister may be a member of the Tea Party.
FRC shooting suspect was volunteering at DC LGBT Community Center
“As of 6pm Wednesday evening, the White House has not released a statement regarding the shooting.”
– Of course, Brian Ross, working fevorishly, has been unable to find a link to the Tea party.
What I really need now is practice mastering the scope and reticle, as well as the recoil of the rifle.”
It’s a .308. I’ve seen cute little Marine Corps chicks win great big silver cups shooting the .308. If you have trouble with the recoil we’re going to call you a puss….
But seriously, don’t worry about it, just relax and rock with the recoil. Worst thing you can do is tense up and fight it, that gives the recoil something solid to wallop. Better to be the slender reed than the mighty oak in this case.
Tolerant. Loving. Inclusive. Supporter of diversity. In fact, X is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life. Those h8rs shouldn’t have been so hateful to provoke this response.
“…..you almost get the feeling they’re expecting a civil war or something…”
– Ammo for when the money runs out?
I wouldn’t worry too much about it Jeff. Even if they outlaw them here I heard they got stockpiles of them in Mexico.
Point and spray? Are you planning to pray as well?
Just in case you’re not on a first name basis with God.
Perhaps they are getting ready in case they are ordered to implement the 9 gram solution to the fiscal problems of Social Security and Medicare. People are always “the problem” for the left and they have tried and true old school solutions.
Wrong thread, should have gone here.
I was wondering [grin]
re: “9-gram solution”
Jesus Christ I hope not!
I hope not also for their sakes as well as our own. It’s just a wonderment when even Soc-Sec and NOAA are ordering hundreds of thousands of rounds, DHS is closing in on a billion and the head guy did call for having a civilian force as powerful and the military.
It’s like if you’re not paranoid, you’re not paying attention.
