A first date went terribly wrong when a man was gunned down outside a bar after he jokingly said he voted for President-elect Donald Trump.

Shaunita Walker told WSB-TV that she and Mitchell Mormon Jr. were outside Church Bar on Edgewood Avenue in Atlanta at about 3 a.m. Saturday when her new date got into an argument with another man who pulled a gun.

Walker, 25, said the alleged shooter uttered something disrespectful to her as she went back into the bar, angering Mormon, 32, who confronted the man and began arguing with him. Walker said Mormon jokingly told the man he voted for Trump.

The argument continued and the alleged shooter — identified by Walker as a Hispanic man wearing a white coat — went around a corner, came back with a gun and opened fire.

Police said officers responded to 466 Edgewood Ave. and found both Walker and Mormon shot. Both were taken to Grady Hospital, where Mormon later died. Walker, who was shot in the arm, is recovering out of state, WSB-TV reports...

In today’s parlance, the man may have been a practitioner of peace.

Discussing politics at 3:00 a.m. in a bar. What could possibly go wrong?

I always find Amish names so unusual.

As we read the news from east to west this seems to be the accepted liberal response to losing the election.

Wondering about those who are being attacked shooting back is not an if, but a when.

Lock and load, radical left wing lunatics are now the liberal norm.

I seriously doubt this guy voted at all, much less for Trump. The bar in question, Church, is designed as a put-down of Christianity, with religious artifacts set up to ridicule the very idea of faith. It is super gay-friendly; in fact, Lady Gaga’s visit put it on the map. Couldn’t think of a better place to be murdered if you were planning on going to hell afterwards.

Violence against Trump supporters has been documented. However, I wouldn’t count this as one of them - this fight was over “disrespect” - a big deal among certain groups of people.

Exactly. Any reference to Trump in that whole exchange is trivial as causation but the media loves it.
