Rep Joe Barton abd another guy are telling the narrative that the shooter asked which political party was practicing.
No challenge from the media!
Question: Would a gunman radomly walk up ask if this was the right place? I'm not buying it!

I am saying the idea he walked and ask which party was playing there is a BULL SHIT Republican lie!

(2,654 posts)5. A rifle bearer would not ask a bystander a question suggesting he was seeking specific targets.
At least I do not think so, unless the rifle bearer wanted to remove whatever bit of uncertainty he may have been feeling about having located his intended targets.
I am with you, I am not yet buying the story that the rifle bearer approached a random bystander and asked that particular question before opening fire. I will wait for further reports before I reach a conclusion.

just because you dont like the narrative, doesnt mean it didnt happen. I dont know if it did or didnt, but when you see the facebook page of the suspect covered in anti trump rhetoric I dont think its that implausible that it did happen.
