There’s no evidence he was motivated by Trump’s attacks on the news media. But the environment the president has created makes us targets.


How about Kate Steinle being murdered by an illegal alien in the Bay Area. Does that make we American citizens all targets. How about conservative members of congress being gunned down at a baseball game? Does that make all conservatives targets? Your selective outrage is pathetic.

And the media's slanted news and lies are an attack on all Americans.

No, they're not. They're an attack by a disgruntled loser on a crappy, second-rate propaganda rag that routinely spews lies in between used car ads.

Don't try to make your problem our problem.

I don’t recall this rag running an editorial about how the months long discussion about assassination, and the Shakespeare in the Park play where Trump was assassinated nightly might trigger some unstable person. Did they blame the hysterical reporting by CNN and others for the shooting of congressmen last year? My guess is that they have not, and may very well have engaged in the same sort of hysterical selective outrage themselves.

Ridiculous!! What happened at Annapolis had NOTHING to do with the American people. It was a vendetta against the paper for a personal matter. More FAKE NEWS!!!!!

I could care less about the MSM

Reading where one of those survivors in Annapolis said “F Trump and his thoughts and prayers...”

If the media does not dial back it’s hatred for America, I feel these types of incidents may only increase.

I wonder when was the last time that any of these “journalists” went after corruption at the really big criminal institutions? Big unions, government agencies, NGOs like Soros or Clinton?

So, the MD paper went after some small timer and he lost his mind. Is that the fault of conservatives?

I remember our local urno-lists went after some punk that was dumping some trash in the river and proceeded to get this guy in big trouble. Meanwhile, the city routinely dumps tons of overflow crap into the lake and no outrage or concern.

I think this is what conservatives, constitutionalists and libertarians resent the most about these journalists. They are always quick to pounce on the little punk, but when government agencies and officials engage in crime and corruption on a massive scale, it’s just fine.

Like the way people were sneaking up and killing cops after the Barack Obama rhetoric about the Trayvon Martin riots and the 'Gentle Giant' riots?

And how Black Lives Matter racists paraded around chanting how they wanted dead cops and just like that there were dead cops all over the country.

Uh no. It was just an attack on a newspaper’s employees by a crazy person. If you fear that the things you print will cause you harm, then carry a gun or hire security. Do they think patriotic journalists of old were in more or less danger than they are today?

Actually, it was an attack on the people who pissed off a psychopath that a judge let off.

I heard about the attack on a newsroom in Maryland.

Thank God that no actual human beings were shot.

XD

And some animals are more equal than others, right?

Especially undocumented ones.

Remember the various members of the TV press openly saying that if they had impending knowledge of an enemy attack on our troops, they wouldn't pass it on? Wouldn't be, you know, "objective".

I wouldn't mind too terribly much, if a bunch of people showed up with cameras at the reporters' funerals, and shoved microphones into everyone's face, asking how they FELT about it, and if they felt guilty at all for driving a poor unstable guy over the brink ("we must UNDERSTAND the anger") is the catch-phrase when a member of a preferred victim group TM goes apesh*t on bystanders.

I’m not happy with those killings. It angers me.

Now, those deaths are no more an attack on “all of us” than the illegal aliens who are carving us up at will.

Where’s the editorial on that, you ink pimps.

Didn’t sound like an attack on journalism, but a revenge attack on specific journalists who “did him wrong” or so he thought.

FREE PRESS? Why don’t you just try being honest in your reporting.
Stop giving us your opinions and political views disguised as news stories, start telling the truth.

What a concept, huh.
Perhaps then we wouldn’t wish all you PROG/LIB/Communists dead, particularly the electronic media.
