    The shooting at a congressional GOP baseball practice is just the latest in an escalating pattern of violence and intimidation against Republicans...


    ...New York Rep. Claudia Tenney received an email shortly after the shooting that read, “One down, 216 to go,” The Hill reported. There are 217 Republicans in the House of Representatives, including Tenney. “Did you NOT expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit,” the person said. “Certainly, your souls and morality were lost long before. Good riddance.”

    Even before Wednesday’s shooting, Republicans were growing used to being on the receiving end of violence and intimidation amid an increasingly hostile political climate where left-wingers portrayed them as “fascists.”...


    ...One of Virginia Rep. Tom Garrett’s town halls last month featured a heavy police presence after Garrett and his family were targeted by repeated death threats...


    ...Just days after the Politico article ran, FBI agents arrested a Tucson Unified School District employee for making violent threats against Arizona Rep. Martha McSally....


    ...Also last month, police in Tennessee charged 35-year-old Wendi Wright with felony reckless endangerment for allegedly trying to run Republican Congressman David Kustoff off the road after a town hall he held regarding the GOP health care bill....


    ...The same day
    Wright was charged, police in North Dakota escorted a man from a town hall with Rep. Kevin Cramer after the man became physical with the Republican congressman and shoved a fistful of money into Cramer’s collar.

    Town halls, in general, have become increasingly volatile environments, as left-wing activists have organized hostile town halls....


    ...Video from one of California Rep. Tom McClintock’s town halls in February shows police escorting him to his car afterwards, as emotional protesters chanted “Shame!” At least four tires were slashed outside the town hall....



    ...Also in February
    , a 71-year-old female staffer for California Rep. Dana Rohrbacher was knocked unconscious during an angry protest activists staged outside Rohrbacher’s office....

    ...Alabama Republican Mo Brooks announced shortly afterward he would hold off on holding public town halls out of safety concerns. “I want things to settle down a little bit before I’m willing to subject citizens to bodily harm or damage to their personal property,” he explained. Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert similarly put a hold on town halls, “until the threat of violence at town hall meetings recedes.” Left-wing website ThinkProgress claimed there was “no evidence” to support Gohmert’s concerns about violence.


    ...A popular parade in Portland, Oregon was canceled in April after threats of violence were made against a local Republican organization taking part.

    An email warned parade organizers that 200 or more protesters would rush into the parade and drag the Republicans out, if that’s what it took to keep them from participating. “You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely,” the email warned....


    ...The Oregon threat followed left-ring rioters turning Berkeley, California, into a literal political battlefield to keep pro-Trump speakers from appearing in public.

    Pro-Trump commentator Milo Yiannopoulos had his speech at the University of California-Berkeley cancelled after rioters set the campus ablaze in order to keep him from speaking....


    ...Those same activists were able to shut down pro-Trump commentator Ann Coulter’s UC Berkeley speech just by promising a repeat performance of the Milo riots....



    ...A month before the election, someone firebombed a North Carolina GOP office. A building adjacent to the office was spray painted with a warning: “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else.”



    Educational institutions are no exception, as Republican students have been targeted there as well.

    The day after the election, sophomore high school student Jade Armenio was attacked after she expressed her support for Trump on social media. Armenio, who was white, was attacked by another female student, who was black. The attacker ripped Armenio’s glasses off and punched her in the face. The attack was caught on video....


    ...The president of Cornell University’s College Republicans, Olivia Corn,
    said she was physically assaulted the night after Trump won the election....


    ...A Maryland high school student wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat after the election was punched and kicked by students protesting Trump after he started arguing with them.

    Similarly, police in Florida arrested a 17-year-old high school student after he punched a classmate for carrying a Trump sign at school....


    ...In another instance of post-election violence directed at Trump supporters, 24-year-old Corey Cataldo was reportedly attacked on a New York subway for the crime of wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.




    I count 17 incidents/assaults mentioned in this article.

    Isn't that what Pelosi called for in one of her speeches?

    I watched a Veritas video on Facebook where they formed a group against gun violence and went door to door trying to get people to put a 'Gun Free Zone' sign in the yard...when they talked to a very liberal reporter who was very vocal on anti guns...he commented that Liberals will need guns to protect themselves when right wingers make war...

    The statistics were so ironic...a couple of communities housing liberals had a gate and armed guard. :) Eric Holder even had an armed guard...seems they are truly only anti gun for everyone else...

    This List Of Attacks Against Conservatives Is Mind Blowing
    By Dave Brooks and Benjamin Decatur

    A wave of liberal rage has marked the last 11 months since the rise and subsequent election of President Donald Trump.

    Antifa protestors clad in black masks shut down college campuses, destroy property and indiscriminately attack those they disagree with, whether women or the elderly. Meanwhile, CNN fires Kathy Griffin for taking photos with a bloody replica of the president’s decapitated head.

    Amid this backdrop, The Huffington Post publishes an article http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/14/hu...ment-of-trump/ calling for the execution of Trump and “everyone assisting his agenda.”

    Then, shots ring out as a man gorged on media hysteria attempts to slaughter Republican congressmen while they practice for a charity baseball game.

    The aggression since Trump’s nomination is difficult to enumerate, but nevertheless, The Daily Caller News Foundation poured over media reports to compile a close but non-exhaustive list of violent acts against conservatives in months following the Republican National Convention.

    In creating the list, TheDCNF reviewed numerous articles detailing attacks against conservatives and Trump supporters. Only incidences of violence and threats of violence where the perpetrators were clear are included in the report, excluded are events where the instigator was difficult to discern.

    Attacks Over Time:

    July 2016:

    -A Hillary Clinton supporter lights a flag on fire and attacks a Trump supporter in Pittsburgh.

    -Trump supporters sue San Jose after protesters jumped on cars, stole hats, fought and threw eggs at them.


    ...


    June 2017:

    -James Hodgkinson opened fire on a congressional GOP baseball practice, injuring five, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

    -New York GOP Rep. Claudia Tenney received an email threat that read, “One down, 216 to go,” shortly after the shooting at the Republican congressional baseball practice.

    -A man driving a white Malibu reportedly fired several shots at a man driving a truck displaying a “Make America Great Again” flag in Indiana.






    That's 38 Incidents in less than 12 months.
