Someone took a baseball bat to my Congressman's office...
« on: May 16, 2023, 07:52:10 AM »
and attacked two of his staffers.

Apparently the guy has a lengthy history of mental health issues.

Allegedly he was asking to see the Congressman before he unloaded on the staff.

Now the Congressman, Gerry Connolly, is talking about "hey, we need to revisit security for our district offices!"

Yet this is the guy who would be more than happy to see all guns taken out of the hands of all law-abiding citizens.

The man is a *expletive deleted*ing waste of carbon.

Give his staff batting helmets and baseball gloves.

Saw headlines on CNN and some other sites that left no doubt the most important aspect of this story they want you to know is that the congressman is a Dem.

Basically

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN ATTACKED!!!!!!

Yep, and it means that there needs to be MORE gun control! Because that would have stopped this conservative-fronted bat attack...

That's only part of it. From  https://honestbaseball.com/what-type-of-wood-are-baseball-bats-made-of/  we learn that . . .

Quote
One of the most common types of the wooden bat is the Ashwood. You can call it the Northern white ash wood too. It is more popular because of its extra whip

So they're made of of a NORTHERN (Racist!) WHITE (Racist!) wood, with EXTRA WHIP (Racist Slave Owner!)

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Really sad part is somewhere, MSNBC likely, someone is writing poop like that for their article and millions of drones will swallow it hook line and sinker.

Since it’s a ball bat thing it will be interesting to compare how many headlines this gets vs a wrongthink senator getting shot and nearly killed at a baseball game.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Was it  a fully semiautomatic assault bat with a shoulder thing that goes up?

Was it  a fully semiautomatic assault bat with a shoulder thing that goes up?
And a donut-like barrel lug to make it heavier.
And pine tar on the handle
And hollowed out with superballs inside for something
7-11 was a part time job.
