"A man yelling about Donald Trump opened fire early Friday in the lobby of a Miami-area golf resort owned by the President...."

CNN reports.
Authorities received a call of an active shooter at the Trump National Doral Golf Club at 1:30 a.m., said Juan Perez, director of the Miami-Dade police.... Perez did not provide details on what the shooter was saying about Trump, who was at the White House at the time.

They are certainly dangerous in the hands of hatefilled leftists.

Leftists should not be allowed to own guns.

Guns owned by NRA members making us safer.

Guns owned by lefties/lefty-beloved MS-13/lefty-protected terrorists....not so much.

As expected.

This story will probably vanish quickly because the MSM/Dems don't care about Left-wing assassins or kooks targeting those on the right. That Baseball Field Republican Congressmen shooting sure did vanish quickly didn't it? But stories about "Charlottsville" are still popping up.

Of course, if the guy turns out to be a crazed NRA member or a "Neo-Nazi" - it will get some play.

It's a shame we don't have any FBI agents available for infiltration operations against MS-13 and other violent gangs.

I think its great that ARM and his lefty cohort have come out four square in support of Hamas terrorists, Kim Jong Un and MS-13 while trying to disarm law-abiding US citizens.

And just in time for November.

LLR Chuck won't like that but at this point there's not much he and his lefty allies can do to put a lid on it.

ARM: "Guns everywhere, making us safer."

At least our friendly neighborhood leftist didn't say Trump provoked him, so that's a start.

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

roocean, given that the asshole was screaming about Trump, I think it's probably safe to say he has more in common with ARM, Ritmo and Inga than with the NRA.

On the off chance that he's a "neo-Nazi" - well, wouldn't an anti-Trump Nazi contradict the notion that Trump is Hitler with a Queens accent?

Actually, what would the Left do with a Nazi who hates Trump? Given that they've all turned into Hamas and MS 13 fans, I guess they'd slap on the swastika armbands. Anybody who hates Trump can't be all bad!

"Actually, what would the Left do with a Nazi who hates Trump?"

They'd say that Racist Trump got his racist Nazi followers all hyped up with racism, but then Trump didn't put Jews in gas chambers like he *implicitly* promised , so they turned on him.

And then they'd say racist-Nazi Trump brought it on himself for stirring up the racist-nazis.

trump will always be a nazi to the left - no matter what.

1:30 AM at a golf course?
so, an engineer, a priest, and a doctor are golfing; and the group in front is REALLY slow.
They complain to a greenskeeper; who tells them:
"Those are the blind firemen. They lost their vision last year from smoke damage while putting out the fire at our clubhouse: Saved a bunch of people! We let them golf for free whenever they want in gratitude!! They're slow, it's true. But they're heroes!

The Priest says: "how touching! I'll say a special prayer for them next mass"
The doctor says : "how moving! new treatments are coming; maybe we can cure them!"
The engineer says: "Why can't they golf at night?"

If a leftist shooter who can aim better than the baseball field guy and this loser ever shows up and manages to slaughter Republicans, it'll be a "two-fer" for ARM, Inga and Ritmo. They'll be able to show up here and piously denounce gun violence and the 2nd Amendment - and then they'll go offline and pop open the champagne and celebrate the deaths of deplorables, the people they consider worse than Hamas and MS13.

The media is deliberately trying to goad leftists nutbags into doing their dirty work for them. Then they'll blame the victims, just like they blamed Scalise for getting shot.

The Vegas shooter has no known motive. There are people who claim someone who may or may not have been him ranted about FEMA camps at a public location that no one identified him at, talking to a third party no one has identified. But, FEMA camp conspiracy theories were active since Bush's presidency, so we'd need to figure out when the deranged man, exactly, bought into the conspiracy theory.

(If, of course, it turns out the ranting man actually was our shooter.)

rcocean said...

What is this the 3rd Left-wing assassin attempt on Trump?

I don't think there was a single attempt on Obama.

But that's par for the course. From 1900-1980 you had 10 assassination attempts on US POTUS or POTUS candidates - all nine were by leftists.

McKinley, TR, and FDR - by anarchists/Socialists. Truman - P.R. Socialist/Revolutionaries, JFK - Commie. RFK -
left-wing Palestinian, Wallace - leftist nut, Ford - Sara Jane Moore Leftist, Reagan - Left wing nut.

All the political violence comes from the Left. And almost all mental patients are Democrats or liberals. Most felons are Democrats too, which is why the Dems want to give them the vote.

Vance said...

I'm sure Inga will be here to lament that this guy didn't kill someone, just like she did after Hodgkinson.

And ARM, you know damn well this man was a leftist. But here you are trying to blame the 2nd Amendment,.

So why don't we just ban guns from Democrats and leftists... .to see if banning guns works? How could you possibly oppose that?

ARM was not that one. I think the sole one with a soul has left and doesn't comment anymore. ARM, however, along with Inga and Ritmo were quite gleeful about the whole thing and refused to denounce leftist political violence.

JAORE said...

He shot up the golf course...

Actually he entered the lobby of the resort and began shooting. Waited for police and fired again. He " waited in the lobby for police officers to arrive before luring them into a gunfight" per the Miami Herald. Might be suicide by cop with a leftist twist.

Vance said...

Evidence: This thread. You would think that after yet another example of people attacking Republicans with gunfire, that a leftist such as ARM would seize the opportunity to say "I disavow and utterly condemn any and all violent physical attacks, whether lethal or not, on Republicans for political reasons."

Funny, has ARM, Inga, or any other leftist made such a statement? Nope. Why not? They ask us to believe they condemn violence against Republicans... they challenge us to "Prove it" when we don't have to. If they abhorred political violence against Republicans, wouldn't they have volunteered that in response to this clear attack on Republicans?

No, ARM, you were blaming guns for Hodgkinson too. You did have lots of "he had it coming" on the Rand Paul attack. Have you ever said it was wrong? I suggest you prove it, since you are the one claiming you oppose leftist violence. No one else remembers it, so you should prove you denounced it.

But in reality, you always, but always, spend your time trying to foist blame onto the Right for not confiscating weapons. You never, ever blame the violent leftists.

Rick said...

ARM keeps his streak of never making an intelligent comment alive. He's the Cal Ripken of false blog assertions.

“ ARM, however, along with Inga and Ritmo were quite gleeful about the whole thing and refused to denounce leftist political violence.”

I haven’t heard one utterance of sadness from most people here that Heather Heyer was run down and killed by a car being driven by a Neo Nazi. What is wrong with you people?

Vance said...

Inga, you claim that being asked to denounce leftist violence is the same as being tortured. Your words.

Exactly what do you expect from claiming that? You clearly enjoy leftist violence if it is so excruciatingly painful to ask you to denounce it.

Any lady who would rather be tortured than say Hodkinson was wrong to shoot at Republicans can pretty safely be assumed to have enjoyed that whole episode.

And you yourself said that it would be torture for you to denounce Hodgkinson.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

I disavow and utterly condemn any and all violent physical attacks, whether lethal or not, on Democrats for political reasons.

Funny, Vance, Rick, or any other Trumpist made such a statement? Nope. Why not?

Rick said...

What is wrong with you people?

What's wrong with you? You claimed people support things unless they denounce them. Why do you oppose your own principle being applied to yourself?

Vance said...

As far as Heather Heyer goes... 1) she was not visible to the driver, so he clearly didn't specifically aim for her. 2) He was being chased by a mob. 3) She was a violent communist thug anyway. Your side says it's moral and right to kill Nazis. If so, why isn't it moral and right to kill violent communist thugs? No one needs them on the streets either. And there's far greater numbers of violent communist thugs around in our streets, posing a much greater danger than any NeoNazi person.

I'm sorry she was there, and I'm sorry she got killed while being there trying to be a violent communist thug. But perhaps she should have stayed home instead of trying to riot and enforce leftist political thought via violent oppression.

You can defend violent antifa communist agitators, but I think they should stay home. And then maybe they won't be hurt.

I don't support the principle that people support anything they don't denounce. It's a stupid principle developed only so you can attack people for things they don't believe.

But you do believe this, or claim to anyway. You asserted it last week when trying to slime everyone for one commenter's supposed beliefs. But somehow now that the principle is being applied to the left you want to change the focus to others as if your own failure is irrelevant.

Refusing to apply this standard to yourself is an implicit recognition it is inappropriate. Thus your continued effort to apply it to the right shows you're just here to express your hatred.

Strangely ARM thinks other people need proof when in fact the issue is his own assertion lacks it. Again left wing nutjobs don't think any other their own standards apply to them. How do you suppose they came to internalize this so completely?

Vance said...

Again, note the numerous comments from both ARM and Inga since they were asked to say whether they support or oppose violence from the left for political reasons.

Anyone see anything saying it is wrong? Just fevered meltdowns. And Inga challenged me to denounce any rightwing violence, which I did. She's now whining about school shootings. But never, ever a word saying violence from the left is wrong. Nor from ARM, or from R/V.

Silence is truly expressive in this case.

ReasonableMan yes unfortunately too many commenters settle for name calling using terms like lefty, lib, or in my. case one regular commentator called me a Stalinist as thought that is enough of an argument and a put down of any oppositional thought, but you Inga, Michael K, Potter, and Hayden-- to name few --make interesting remarks, arguments worth considering. Please continue.


The dummies really don't bother me. What bothers me is the change in the ratio between thoughtful commenters and dummies. This is what kills blogs. When that ratio gets too low there is an exodus and all you are left with are the shit stains. I think we are getting close that tipping point. I don't post here as often as I used to and that is a more general trend amongst the non-morons. Even the right wingers get tired of the shit stains taking up all the oxygen in the discussion.


Rick said...

Interesting how Althouse decided to blog about the guy yelling things anti Trump things while shooting up a Trump golf course, while maybe even at the same time another school shooting with 9 dead already,

I wondered why Inga was here. Children were killed so naturally her immediate reaction was to use it to further her hate campaign.

Bilwick said...

Inga going for the "A attacked B, giving C [Inga and the other State-shtuppers*] the right to attack D" fallacy. But then if Inga didn't have fallacious arguments, she'd have no arguments at all.

R/V Then how do you explain all the officers who reported Jonathan Oddi, the shooter, was yelling out anti-Trump language? And, according to them, trying to lure officers into ambushes and perhaps terrorize people.

Meanwhile, the Democrat party fully endorsed MS-13, the gang who's motto is something like rape, kill, control.

That's the left's new buddies. Pelosi, etc all praising MS-13 this week. And Hamas killing Jews.

So on that question of the left supporting violence.... how can the conclusion be anything but "of course they do!"?

“Oddi’s social-media accounts, on which he “liked” a series of Trump’s complaints about CNN, as well as a recent post by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, add further mystery to the case.

Oddi’s Twitter account links to several of his Instagram posts. (The Instagram is otherwise private.) Among those posts is a repost of an image from conservative group Turning Point USA that attacks NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for his decision to kneel during the national anthem to protest U.S. police brutality. The post compares Kaepernick to Glen Coffee, a football player-turned-soldier.

“#fact you can’t compare Two different people : 1- Glen is a warrior. 2- colín worries he doesn’t have a nfl career and kneels for popularity,” Oddi wrote in the October 2017 post. “Hell we should stop watching the nfl and just have navy, army, Air Force and public service football teams. It’ll be far more interesting to watch.””

A "moderate" or middle of the roader might let you poke him in the eyes 50 out of 100 times "for the good of Society" or some such flapdoodle. Me, never.

The comparison was made in jest. However, the fact that you qualify your rejection and condemnation of violence to Democrats proves you are a monster. Not the fictional kind, the real kind, the kind that has sown tragedy and tears throughout history.

So, you do not disavow and utterly condemn any and all violent physical attacks, whether lethal or not, on Republicans for political reasons. That is the inescapable corollary. Monsterous. Horrifying. But not unexpected from a myrmidon of the Insane Party.

Inga says she doesn't advocate violence against "any human." She has also labeled "Nazis' as non-human.

Still, she's basically correct. She doesn't advocate violence against people. She just is very silent and condoning towards violence against Republicans and conservatives. She might not advocate for it, but never will she condemn it.

And pray tell, what "monsters" has Trump unleashed? The monsters that say, "We won't let Democrats beat our heads in with bike locks?" That's the kind of monsters Inga's afraid of unleashing, I suppose.

Vance said...

Ok, let's not read too much into Inga's statement denouncing violence against Democrats. She was trying to bait me, claiming that I was demanding something from her I wouldn't do myself. As is the case the last time she tried it, I readily and eagerly denounce violence towards both Republicans and Democrats (unless in the case of self defense).

She was not prepared, again, for that answer. So she tried to change the subject to blaming Althouse or something. She didn't, of course, take the opportunity to call violence against Republicans wrong, and she still hasn't done that--just saying she doesn't advocate violence against Republicans. But if it happens, well, she doesn't mind it at all.

langford peel said...

So true. Who knew that the Democrats supported MS-13 and murderous gang violence. That they wanted criminal drug dealers, gangs and Muslim terrorists to be allowed to immigrate and if they are arrested for a crime they will protect them and stop them from being deported.

That is truly monstrous.

Quaestor said...

Furthermore, not advocating violence is not the same as disavowing or condemning violence. Far, far from it. There is a precept in common law, qui tacet consentire videtur. Look it up.

Most Democrats are out there spouting about how nazis and nazi sympathizers are scum, non human, and deserve to be shot on sight and a medal given to the shooter. That nazi's have no rights at all, including the right to life.

As proof, just read any political threat at Ars Technica... you'll see the above view is very, very common.

So if you actually don't subscribe to the "Nazi's have zero rights and should be gunned down on sight" view... you are not normal for a leftist.

There are a million reasons to post anything including this comment. Reasonable possibilities here include supporting her consistent themes that political rhetoric can trigger the mentally ill and Democrats hatred of Trump is causing them to do things which hurt them rather than Trump. There are probably a hundred other reasons, including just that's it's a major news story some people might want to discuss.

But Inga can definitively exclude all possibilities other than a deliberate attempt to stir up animosity. Remember this is just after her complaining others are unreasonable not to give her comments the most generous interpretation.

Standards are for other people.

I agree, Matthew Sablan: Inga did just say that Althouse is trying to stir up hatred and violence against "Anti-Trumpists" such as herself.

And then goes on to say that lack of decency here at Althouse lies solely on the right... on a thread where ARM had an epic meltdown.

I would like to know what exactly Inga is implying here.

In other news, turns out the latest school shooter is... greek? Not what I would have expected. He presents a problem to the gun grabbers though, because apparently he used shotguns and pipe bombs. Not a scary AR-15. More Columbine than anything.

left-wing Palestinian, Wallace - leftist nut, Ford - Sara Jane Moore Leftist, Reagan - Left wing nut.

I haven't forgotten how you excused the rioters at Berkeley. We know you're just peachy with violence committed by your side.

And this was in just three hours of her posting this blog.

This is almost comical coming from someone who will not disavow or condemn political violence against Republicans.

To Inga, indecency consists mainly of not being favorably impressed by her morals and ethics.

Inga has a cute list. But it was 15 minutes from Gabby Giffords being shot to the first left winger on Althouse blaming conservatives for it. This was a widespread major journalistic theme including hundreds of high level left wing journalists including Paul Krugman. So if we're to conclude these comments demonstrate Althouse commenters are extreme essentially the entire left wing media is extreme by Inga's own standard.

Revealingly she has literally never criticized one of them for these positions. Everything Inga has ever asserted is in service to her partisanship.

I do have a question. Are those comments serious or are they a light reminder of this hypocrisy? Believing they're serious requires us to believe someone actually suspects Chuck . Does that seem reasonable?

Inga...Allie Oop said...

Fabi, no one is melting down. What I’m doing is proving my point that this blogpost by Althouse has stirred the pot of hatred toward those who are not Trump sycophants, such as yourself. I haven’t even gone beyond 10:00AM yet. Such blogposts are not Althouse’s best work, she can do better.

Quaestor said...

And why bother with the childish "Quackster" tripe? It shows immaturity and a shallow well of imagination at least.

Insult me as you will, but please don't bore me.

Drago said...

Leftists take time out from openly calling for the death of the Trump voting "irredeemable" "deplorables" to lament hatred in our discourse.

LOL

Discuss.

As I have said before:
Put a Trump bumper sticker on your car, see what happens.

Of COURSE I don’t advocate violence toward any human, regardless of their politics, their religion, their age, sex, sexual preference, etc. etc etc.

Why do you people LIE so much?

I hit the nail square on the head, I'd say.

I'm sorry if you are triggered by the truth, Inga.

Umm, pretty sure the shooting is the problem, not acknowledgement of it.

Are you honestly implying Althouse is trying to incite violence?


This post was a particularly poor effort, as events played out, for her purpose. But, it is as predictable as the tides that a post like this will bring out the shit stains to attack anyone who isn't a rabid dog on the right. It has become tiresome.

Fabi said...

Only Igna could find hatred in a joke about Chuck's hair. Lulz
