Heā€™s a verified wing nut. Dunno how/why he keeps getting elected.

I am genuinely wondering, given the manā€™s personal history and previous statements, why he hasnā€™t been questioned by the appropriate authorities regarding this.

I remember Janet Napolitano speaking at a security conference years ago, issuing a warning about the rise of domestic terrorism by those with the means, training and position to carry it out.

This man is a text book case.

But Shea is no stranger to controversy. Among his greatest hits: pulling a gun on another driver during a 2011 fit of road rage;

Um and heā€™s a state politician?

Either felons can hold elected office in WA or pulling a gun on someone in WA isnā€™t a felony.

WTF?

Is it just me, or do these Wingers always seem to assume they can commit assault and battery without the victim fighting back, availing himself of a second amendment solution, or bringing charges?
Do you get the impression that they are convinced that people on the left are easily cowed wimps?

He doesnā€™t have the right skin color to be a terrorist. If he does anything itā€™s an isolated incident that no one could have predicted. :smirk:

ā€œShea first received national attention last year after Knezovich turned over to the FBI a manifesto Shea wrote about the ā€˜Biblical Basis for War,ā€™ a how-to guide on establishing a conservative Christian theocracy via a murderous campaign.ā€

Because murder and ā€œpro-lifeā€ go hand in hand.

For barking-mad lunatics.

What? What the fuck is the John Birch Society doing these days? They used to see Russians everywhere but I"m willing to bet they now find Russians in America invisible.

I canā€™t believe they are still in business.

Good gravy. This man is a psycho and dangerous. Canā€™t Washington state start a recall petition over this guy? Whatā€™s their state constitution say about this kind of malfeasance while in office. They have a legislature in both houses controlled by Dems too. Time to play hardball.
