Alexandria shooter James Hodgkinson lived out of a gym bag and hung out for the past month-and-a-half at the YMCA across the street from where he opened fire, according to a report Wednesday.

Bill Euille, former mayor of Alexandria, said he and Hodgkinson spoke almost every day at the Y, where the alleged gunman would be seen working on his laptop, the Washington Post reported.

“He was a very friendly person. But what I did notice about this gentleman is he’d open up his gym bag and in it, he had everything he owned,” said Euille, who lost his re-election bid last year. “He was living out of the gym bag. That, and he sat in the Y’s lobby for hours and hours. Outside of myself, I don’t think he knew anyone else in town.”

Hangin with the former mayor, Bill Eullie, at the YMCA. Hmmm. Maybe the Village People were on to something?

What was his DU screenname when he was on his laptop?

Basically, several months ago, he decided to become a mass murderer and left Illinois to go to DC to become a Rat hero.

Rats are becoming = mooselimbs. There are no moderate mooselimbs, just mooselimbs. Some carry out the evil, others are just happy it was done. The later are not moderate, just regular like the first.

“Lying in wait”, or Pre-meditated murder, or triggered by the MSM to do this. I would not be surprised he was encouraged by some local Democrat lawmakers to do what he did

More interesting details.

[Euille goes to the Y to work out around 7 or 7:30 a.m. every day and usually saw Hodgkinson, 66, showering.]

Oh, I'll bet you did. I'll bet you did.

[The ex-mayor said the two never spoke about political issues but that sometimes, when President Trump came on the lobby TV and others commented about it, “he indicated he agreed with us,” he said.]

Oh, I'll bet he did. I'll bet he did.

Legendary status to the one who finds it!

Some Freepers are wise on 'their' ways but most like me avoid them like the plague.

I don’t think the political class quite realizes that we no longer have political discourse, that we instead have political cults.

I’m listening to Krauthammer and he thinks the shooter was deranged and is talking in terms of the loon who shot Giffords. He is rationalizing, and wrong.

That was my first thought. LE should fish around DU for any opus like messages at 7 a.m.

I’d like to know if this vermin was associated with the disrupters hired to agitate at Trump rallies uncovered by Project Veritas.

I vaguely know a scaled down version of the third one in the back row.

IIRC, a wacko commie lib as well.

Someone knew that this radicalized and violent Democrat was up to no good, yet decided to say nothing.

The NSA and the FBI weren’t interested. This Libtard wasn’t Russian and didn’t work for Trump.

The US Government is one big joke.

Dressed similar if memory serves.

The hairstyle and shape of the face are the closest resemblances.

I ought to check the twitter feed to see what (if anything) that person thinks.

That’s what VPNs are for along with a browser that I never use for Twitter.
