Lock him up!

Five people have died and several others are "gravely injured" after a shooting Thursday at the Capital Gazette newspaper building in Annapolis, Maryland, local and federal officials say. The suspected shooter is in custody, and authorities are interrogating him, officials said at a news conference.

Build that wall!  NO CRIME!  This killer surely came across the Mexican border, right?

THE ASSHAT CRIMINAL IN CHIEF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHOOTING.  His constant ranting about journalists being the enemy of the people was bound to encourage some nutjob to kill some.  LOCK HIM UP!
Threats against journalists have been on the rise in recent years. Press freedom groups have also reported an uptick in physical assaults on journalists, particularly at campaign events and other political venues.

I wonder why. And no, it's not "particularly at campaign events."  It's "particularly at Trump campaign events."

This son-of-a-bitch is an accessory.

Am I getting ahead of the facts here?



So, is a verbal attack on innocent journalists doing their job a verbal attack on every American?

UPDATE:

The attack may have been a personal grudge.

UPDATE:
Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on Thursday insisted that he "wasn't being serious" when he recently told two reporters that he “can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists.”

"Conservative provocateur" must be the new euphemism for Nazi.

Also...
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has canceled a pair of public events after she received a “very serious death threat,” CNN reported Thursday.

[...]

"As the President has continued to lie and falsely claim that I encouraged people to assault his supporters, while also offering a veiled threat that I should 'be careful', even more individuals are leaving (threatening) messages and sending hostile mail to my office," Waters said in the statement, according to CNN.

She said there was "one very serious death threat" made against her on Monday from a person in Texas, "which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were cancelled this weekend."

"This is just one in several very serious threats the United States Capitol Police are investigating in which individuals threatened to shoot, lynch, or cause me serious bodily harm," Waters said.
