Discussion: Suspect In Custody After Shots Fired Near U.S. Capitol

LAWMAKER sends video to me of shooting incident near Capitol. He was stuck in an Uber 1/2

Probably a Republican lawmaker. I’d like to think that a Democrat wouldn’t use Uber, or any other form of transportation that doesn’t rightfully regard their drivers as employees.

Edit: Authorities are now saying that this was not an act of terrorism. I guess that means that the perp was a white guy.

Disguntled taxpayer? If so, it can’t be Trump.

Perhaps Malaria making a run for it.

And why aren’t those same NRA guys demanding that we arm all of the gang members in Chicago so the shootings will stop?

Uh-oh - time for a clampdown on Liberal terrorism… :wink:

We’re referring to it as the Vicinity of the Rayburn Building Massacre.

From Maryland, so either illegal Mexican or black on PCP. Confirmed, black lady. Probably on welfare and PCP.

Lemme guess…another mentally ill person allowed to get a gun without having to submit to a background check anymore because of new legislation sponsored by the NRA.

Everyone knows, its just too mean and unfair for anyone to expect someone unstable, imbalanced and crazed to be unable to get a gun legally. I mean, what kind of society would we be if we couldn’t allow crazy people to shoot guns at people like every other Tom, Dick and Harry in America?

Ha…we joke…but WTF happens when someone hacks the entire network and fleet of self-driving Uber or Google vehicles some people imagine will be part of our upcoming corporate utopia?

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police said there was “no nexus for terrorism.”

Wait! Let me go find my OED so I can figure out exactly what they meant by “nexus” as related to this incident. So, what again about terrorism and this shots fired incident? I’m all for enhanced vocabularies, but this doesn’t seem the time or the place…or the incident.

As far as the article reads, all the shots were fired by police. Sounds like a fender-bender gone terribly awry.

I’m guessing a black woman mistaken for a man if they fired shots at her.

Jesus, what is Nunes up to now?

Because it was the cops firing on the suspect.

They’ll thaw out Sylvester Stallone?

No nexus = white

Put Nunes on it. And fast!

@fess It’s just another example of LE bafflegab. The more stilted the speech, the better they like it. “Nexus” is thrown in as a clever sounding rhetorical flourish meant to impress the rubes (present company excluded, natch). :smile:
