Thank you NRA and all the bastard politicians that enabled the gun lobby for our country being awash in guns. In the hands of RWNJ’s what could go wrong?

If caught, the perpetrator(s) will no doubt turn out to be achingly similar to the same Toadglans supporters he just tweeted.

Will the mayor of Louisville, the governor, and senators (McConnell) get letters from 45 telling them to use law and order?

I’ll lay better than even odds that the f*cking shooter has an enormous beer belly and fancies himself a “warrior.”
Also, he likely never made it through high school, and blames his failures on black people.

"Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said in a statement. “It is a tragedy that this area of peaceful protest is now a crime scene.”

With respect Sir, I think the tragedy is that law enforcement are lawless and murder with impunity.

This is a direct result of the ANTIFA BS that Donnie and Barr are mouthing. They are COMING TO GET YOU (and they are all ‘protesters’). Fear and loathing and guns. WTF could go wrong???

How many innocent “ANTIFA” protesters are going to die in the course of government and police operations now that Barr has opened season on anti trump groups? This propaganda is about to morph in to tactical operations that trump will claim are keeping law and order. The shooting in Louisville could be the first (since Barr’s statement) of many deaths against “ANTIFA” forces.

Lawless and Disorder is being perpetuated by the Tre45onous Traitorous Terrorist IMPeetus who just retweeted a video of “White Power” AND is doing nothing to respond to his puppet master’s bounty to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan!

One of the Republican’s biggest donor - NRA - who has rubles from Putin - who has now graduated from supporting the RethugniCONS in their obsession with guns so they can terrorize the “Libs/Snowflakes” to killing US soldiers!

Just like in Pittsburgh where 11 people were murdered in a synagogue after trump had promoted the conspiracy theory that George Soros was financing the migrant caravans.

The murderer felt that Jews were behind destabilizing the country and acted on this belief.

There was also a thwarted pipe-bomber who was also acting on trump promoting stochastic terrorism.

What do you expect with Trump calling protesters terrorists and the like. The violence has a direct connection to Trumps rhetoric. This is his desired outcome.

So which police department did this shooter work for? Is he local, or from some surrounding hick county?

“I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers” to "dominate the streets” and "quickly solve the problem” of "domestic acts of terror.” I urge you to “go after troublemakers” because "if you don’t put it down, it’ll get worse and worse.”

To channel Condoleezza Rice, no one could have imagined somebody taking a gun and shooting into a crowd of protestors.

I listened to the one video several times last night and it certainly sounded like two guns, a pistol and a rifle or shotgun. That would suggest it was some sort of Boogaloo situation.

I don’t know if someone is returning fire or there is another gunman, but it’s definitely more than one gun. Here’s video of the initial shooter:
