Doesn't sound like he was a Union man.
Hodgkinson's wife told ABC News that he had been living in Alexandria, Virginia, for the past two months. Illinois secretary of state corporate records show that he had voluntarily dissolved his home inspection business, JTH Services Inc., in December.FBI Special Agent in Charge Tim Slater said at a Wednesday evening press conference that since March Hodgkinson had been living out of his vehicle -- a white cargo van -- in Alexandria.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., said that Hodgkinson supported his bid for the presidency.
"I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign. I am sickened by this despicable act. Let me be as clear as I can be. Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society, and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms," Sanders said this morning on the Senate floor.
A Facebook profile believed to have belonged to Hodgkinson included a number of posts related to politics, some of which were critical of Trump. In some, Hodgkinson labelled Trump a traitor and called for him to be impeached. The profile has since been removed from Facebook.
In March, Hodgkinson met with sheriff's deputies in Illinois after they received calls that he fired 50 shots on his property. He had a valid firearms owner's identification card, and authorities determined that no law was violated.
Another incident took place in 2006, involving alleged domestic battery and unlawful discharge of a shotgun. That case was dismissed.
Separately, Hodgkinson had an extensive history of traffic violations and petty offenses in St. Clair County, Illinois, spanning from 1989 to 2011, according to online county court records. The vast majority of the cases were traffic violations, and nearly all of them were dismissed. The most recent conviction on his record was for a petty offense of failure to obtain an electrical contractor's license in 2009.

I'm not even a big fan of Scalise, but I'd love to play by this rule. By my estimation, there is plenty of karma to go around.
But muh regulations..The most recent conviction on his record was for a petty offense of failure to obtain an electrical contractor's license in 2009.

I'm extremely thankful for the heroic efforts of the United States Capitol Police at the ball field today. Things could have been much worse if they hadn't been there and ready to respond. What's always evident in these situations is: the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. We need to repeal laws that keep good guys from carrying guns, since not everyone has a personal police detail. The right to keep and bear arms is the common person's first line of defense in these situations, and it should never be denied.
A savage barbaric tribal society where thugs parade the streets and illegally assault and murder innocent civilians, yeah that is the alternative to having police. Oh wait, that is the police

The FBI is asking for information from the public about any interactions they had with Hodgkinson, either during his time in Virginia or as he drove from his home in Illinois to Virginia.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., said that Hodgkinson supported his bid for the presidency.

We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!
Liberals digging up Rand tweets, how cute.
Politics aside, we sure have a lot of crazies in this country. To me, it brought back memories of the Beltway Snipers, Muhammad and Malvo. Absolutely sickening how depraved the human mind can be.

They cast one side as a fascist, a Nazi, Hitler, Voldemort, Darth Vader and Sauron. They cast the other as "the resistance", the rebels, the noble strugglers against tyranny. It is not at all surprising that a narrative like that leads to violence. This is the first shooting and the first major act of violence outside of the Antifa-nexus, and it likely won't be the last.

By definition all Sanders supporters are idiots. And the big difference is leftists are violent. There was no Tea Party violence. There was some but minimal violence by Trump people. There have been tons of lootings, stabbings "hate crimes", and physical intimidation by leftists in the last 2 years. The number is probably at least 20 or more violent attacks from a leftist for every one attack from someone identifying as being political right.
People on the right NEVER as a group say a person on the left deserve violence because of a political disagreement. A large percentage of the left does think people who oppose socialized medicine, minimum wage hikes, school lunches, taking guns away, etc are monsters who "get what is coming to them and hopefully will correct their evil ways."
That's not a good example at all. That isn't chasing down and attacking someone for a political disagreement. Trump is saying to beat the crap out of people who show up at his rallies for the sole purpose of being disruptive. He is saying beat up protesters. And it should tell you something that right wing agitators did not go to Sanders and Clinton rallies for the purpose of being obnoxious.
All I know is that it's a sign of the times when something like this happens the first thought on my mind is 'how is this going to impact me'? How much is the police state going to grow as a result?
