Shot fired at the home of the parents of a Republican Congressional Candidate
 

OK, gents. I'm hoping that this will be an example of how topics like this should be treated.

The Hickory Police Department says someone fired a shot into a home owned by the parents of Pat Harrigan, the Republican nominee for North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District. Harrigan’s children were in the home at the time of the shooting, according to his campaign. The shooting was reported to police Oct. 19. No arrests have been made. No one was injured. The investigation is ongoing, said Kristen Hart, a spokeswoman for the Hickory Police Department.

Here's what we know:

- a bullet was fired and a window now has a hole in it.
- the widow is part of a house.
- the house belongs to the parents of a NC Repub congressional candidate.
- no one was injured
- the bullet struck the window allegedly at the same time that the candidate's kids were at the home.
- A separate report states that the FBI is doing ballistic tests on the bullet.
- the police are still investigating.

Here's what I did not say:

- This is a tit-for-tat attack on the family of a Republican in response to the Pelosi attack. To say this would be unfounded speculation.
- I didn't include blanket condemnations of Democrats in the post.
- I didn't allege that the perp was in any way associated with the left or with Democrats.

I also didn't allege that the Republican candidate may have fired the bullet himself in an effort to claim a "false flag" attack.

I have no idea if the Repub candidate is considered a MAGA Republican.

I have no idea if the shooter has political leanings or was attempting to make a political statement, or even knows what "politics" are.

I have no idea if this is an "attack" or just some asshole shooting a gun that they have no idea how to aim or use safely.

I am willing to wait for the police / FBI investigation to unfold before drawing any conclusions.

Yes, the candidate is making statements that attempt to turn this occurrence into a political advantage by suggesting it's an act of political violence. I find that statement very ill-advised in absence of supporting facts.

Shots? As in plural? Your very first word is a lie. smh...

Edit - In case anyone is wondering, this posters title declared "Shots fired..." in its original form.

Here an alleged Libertarian is charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct while charging Repub Senate candidate in NH. https://www.wcvb.com/article/don-bol...date/41854338#

Don't know his motivation. Don't know what was said. One could conjecture that this was a politically motivated crime, but the candidate and the perp could also have been involved in a discussion where they were questioning each other's parentage. Not enough facts to draw any conclusions.

You could have just pointed out the typo. Instead, you elected to be an ass and call it a lie. A "lie" is defined as stating a falsehood with intent to deceive. I posted the whole story, and you read it. Where is the "lie"?

FYI - typo corrected.

"but the candidate and the perp could also have been involved in a discussion where they were questioning each other's parentage."

See what you did there? Tucker Carlson would be very proud of you.

Considering your past history of lying here, I don't believe for one second it was a "typo".

Thanks for noticing my fine 'ass' though. :rolleyes:

ps If you are going to lecture this forum with your 'how to post' suggestion, make sure you have your ducks lined up, my friend. :)

Mr. Whell, if these are 'breaking stories' and not much information has been released, why did you start this thread? You either got the itch for verbal fisticuffs or living in Michigan is mostly boring. :D

A bullet of unknown origin going through a house of the parents of a longshot congressional hopeful (with a 2% chance of winning per 538) during deer season isn't a national story nor is it remotely the same as a ranting MAGAMoron planning the kidnapping and physical assault of the House Speaker and trying to kill her husband with a hammer and then confessing to it in a Mirandized interview with the police.

Lazy, ridiculous whataboutism. And you were trying to impart some sort of lesson? LOL.

Considering what you call a lie, you need to bust yourself more often then you try to bust me.

Yup. If this had happened to a Dem, you and others would already be talking about it as "another example" of right wing violence, or some-such other rot.

Whell. Such a pathetic little man, lol.

Yeh, and if chickens had lips, they wouldn't have to eat with their peckers.

If fish had hands they could swing through trees.

Oddly, the idiot OP hasn't rushed to post this story. I wonder why? :rolleyes:

He's waiting for instructions from Tuckles the KKKlown on Fux Noise.

I must've missed this shit assed post before. How about you post up all of my lies you lying clown?

Calling me a liar, for one.

1) It's not directly related to the topic of this thread.

2) Probably for the same reason that you were not the OP for this thread. :rolleyes:

So, you don't have shit. Figures.

"In a Jan. 3 attack on the row house of State Senator Linda Lopez, the legislator's 10-year-old daughter was awoken and felt dust fall on her face as bullets went through the wall of her bedroom, a criminal complaint said.

Solomon wanted them to aim lower and shoot around 8 pm because occupants would more likely not be laying down," the complaint said, citing an unnamed source.

The gunmen aimed high in three previous attacks and were "nervous" about the instructions as they were more likely to end in "injury or death," the filing said.

Police said one assailant is cooperating with investigators.

Peña took part in the Lopez shooting to "ensure better target acquisition," but his armalite rifle jammed and alleged gunman Jose Trujillo fired 12 shots from a handgun, the complaint said.

Peña has previously been convicted of 19 felonies, including burglary, and imprisoned for around seven years, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.

He posted a photo of himself on Twitter on Nov. 15 with a "Make America Great Again" sweatshirt, a "Trump 2024" flag, and a message that he, like former President Donald Trump, was not conceding his election."

Lovely people these reichwing troglodytes.

Coming from you? No, I really don't.

Gotta agree with you on this one.

Of course, Pena shouldn't have been allowed to run in the first place. He served time, and New Mexico law prohibits felons from holding office.

But the liberal governor in New Mexico appointed a liberal judge, who ended up hearing a lawsuit filed by Pena's liberal opponent. The lawsuit asserted that Pena shouldn't be allowed to run because felons are barred from holding office. As liberal judges often do, this judge ignored the law and decided Pena should be allowed to run.

I've often made the point that liberal judges contribute to the rise in violent crime. Here's another example that underscores that point.

Then there is also the argument to be made, the party allowing the growth of hate speech, unfettered propaganda, conspiracies. Proven to be infiltrated by raciest, insurrectionists, traitors, grifters and lairs. May well be the root cause of the reasons for events like this.

Or lets say the ease and access to firearms one has in this country. Added to the exploration of violence for entertainment. May well also be considered behind these crimes.


Then again there are plenty who will still blame the victim of rape, saying appearance actions or society caused the crime.

From your link.
That was a judicial decision and not a political one. And your spin is too transparent.
