The man suspected of firing dozens of rounds into an Alexandria baseball field Wednesday morning was highly critical of President Trump and other Republican leaders on social media, and had volunteered for the presidential campaign of Democrat Bernie Sanders.

Law enforcement officials were still investigating what motivated James T. Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Ill., who died from his injuries after being taken to a hospital Wednesday morning.

Hodgkinson repeatedly blasted Republican lawmakers in letters to his local newspaper for favoring the “super rich.” A Facebook page believed to be his features pictures of Sanders, and anti-Trump rhetoric, including a recent post that reads: “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”

A government official says the suspect in the Virginia shooting that…The Republican lawmaker who represented Hodgkinson’s hometown said he was “always angry” about the GOP agenda, but “never crossed the line.”

Hodgkinson contacted the office of Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.) 14 times through email or telephone.

“Every issue that we were working on, he was not in support of,” Bost said, saying the communications were of a left-wing slant but delivered “never with any threats, only anger.”

It was not immediately known on Wednesday how long Hodgkinson had been staying in the Washington area. He was still in Illinois as of March 24, according to reports of interactions he had with police from St. Clair County, Ill.

Stephen Brennwald, an Alexandria resident and attorney, said he realized after seeing Hodgkinson’s photo on the news that Hodgkinson was the same man who had been hanging out for at least the last several weeks in the lobby of the YMCA adjacent to field where Hodgkinson opened fire.

Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St. Louis, said in an interview Wednesday that he became friendly with Hodgkinson during their work together in Iowa on Sanders’s 2016 campaign. Orear said Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Orear said when told by phone about the shooting.

Orear described Hodgkinson as a “quiet guy” who was “very mellow, very reserved” when they stayed overnight at the home of a Sanders supporter in Rock Island, Ill., after canvassing for the Vermont senator.

“He was this union tradesman, pretty stocky, and we stayed up talking politics,” he said. “He was more on the really progressive side of things.”

 
Robert Becker, who served as the Iowa director of the Sanders campaign, said Hodgkinson had no formal role on the campaign and that he couldn’t find anyone who remembered him.

Ahead of the caucuses, about 10,000 people volunteered for Sanders at varying points.

Sanders said on the floor of the Senate Wednesday that “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.”

Law enforcement officials arrived at his home in a rural community southeast of St. Louis shortly after 11:30 a.m. The modest, rectangular clapboard farm house sits amid fields of young corn and budding soy.

One neighbor, a man in jeans and a straw cowboy hat who declined to give his name, said Hodgkinson has not lived at the house for “quite a while.” He said Hodgkinson’s wife left for work Wednesday morning as she always does.

Over the years, Hodgkinson has had multiple scrapes with local police and disputes with neighbors and his daughter, records show.

Police most recently encountered Hodgkinson on March 24, records from the St. Clair County Sheriff show. The sheriff received a phone call reporting about 50 shots “in the pine trees” in a lightly populated area near Belleville.

A deputy responded shortly after 3:05 p.m. and found that Hodgkinson “did have in his possession a valid Illinois FOID [firearms owner identification] card,” and that the deputy advised Hodgkinson “to not discharge his weapon in the area.”

Hodgkinson apparently complied and the deputy left without taking any further action.

Karman and Bill Schaumleffel, neighbors across a small cornfield on the back edge of the Hodgkinson property, recall seeing a man shooting a rifle out into the field about two or three months ago. The shots followed in a rapid, steady staccato as if, they said, from a semi-automatic rifle. The Schaumleffels said Hodgkinson kept to himself.

Earlier, in April 2006, police records show Hodgkinson went to a neighbor’s house looking for his daughter and “used bodily force to damage” a wooden door upstairs. Witnesses said Hodgkinson forced his way into the home looking for his daughter and grabbed her by the hair when he found her upstairs, according to a police narrative on file with St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department.

His daughter escaped and got into the neighbor’s car, but Hodgkinson opened the door of the car, pulled out a pocket knife and cut off the seatbelt she was wearing, records show. Hodgkinson’s wife joined him, struggling to pull their daughter out of the car, as Hodgkinson punched the neighbor who was in the driver’s seat of the car in the face, witnesses told police.

Later, Joel Fernandez, the boyfriend of the woman who was punched, went to Hodgkinson’s home to confront him. He said Hodgkinson “walked outside with a shotgun and aimed it at Fernandez face,” a complaint states. Hodgkinson struck Fernandez on the side of his face with the wooden stock of the shotgun and fired off one round as Fernandez ran away.

Police arrested Hodgkinson and his wife and charged them with domestic battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to a narrative obtained by The Post. Police also recovered a 12-guage shotgun. The county clerk’s online database shows the charges were later dismissed.

A few months later, police were called to an argument with a neighbor after Hodgkinson “accidentally struck her dog while it was sleeping in the roadway,” record show. Hodkinson made multiple complaints about neighbors damaging his lawn by driving through it.

The local newspaper in Belleville featured a 2012 picture of Hodgkinson protesting outside the U.S. Post Office building and holding a sign with the message “Tax the Rich.” The Belleville News-Democrat described Hodgkinson as part of a “99 percent” team that was bringing attention to the financial and political power of the top 1 percent of Americans.

Hodgkinson was a licensed home inspector in Illinois, according to public records, but his license lapsed last November. A web page on Yelp indicates that Hodgkinson had been doing home inspections since 1994 and had 30 years experience in construction and remodeling as a general contractor, and that he worked in both Missouri and Illinois. Belleville is a suburb of St. Louis.

“With a background of over 30 years in construction, it was a logical & relatively easy move to becoming a Home Inspector,” he or someone affiliated with him apparently wrote on Yelp.

Republican receives threat after shooting, warning "one down, 216 to go..."

A House Republican received a threatening email to her congressional office Wednesday following the shooting at the Republicans' practice for Thursday's congressional baseball game.

The lawmaker, Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-New York, received an email with the subject line: "One down, 216 to go…," according to a screenshot of the email provided by Tenney's office.

The body of the email read: "Do you NOT expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit. Certainly, your souls and morality were lost long before. Good riddance." A threat was sent to Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-New York on June 14, 2017 after the shooting in Alexandria.

Tenney's spokeswoman, Hannah Andrews, said her office receives similar threats all the time, but Andrews said, "This was particularly disturbing and disheartening given this morning's tragic events." Capitol Police have been informed about the threat, Andrews said.

On Tenney's official Facebook page, someone recently also posted a threatening comment aimed at her son, an active duty U.S. Marine currently deployed to the Middle East. The Memorial Day post said, "Waiting on your son to come back bagged," according to a screenshot provided by Tenney's office.

Tenney was elected to the House last November and previously served as a member of the New York State Assembly.

As a group of Republican lawmakers held baseball practice at a field in Alexandria, Virginia Wednesday morning, a gunman, now identified as James T. Hodgkinson, opened fire, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, two Capitol Police officers, Matt Mika, a Tyson Foods lobbyist and Zachary Barth, a staffer for Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas. As of Wednesday afternoon, Scalise was out of surgery, according to Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Georgia.

 
I actually plan to watch the 6:30 evening news tonight (I normally avoid it), just to hear how the MSM twists this into being Trump's fault or maybe the NRA. Take care. Tom Worthington
 
The agenda ( war, resistance ) is not even hidden or underground. The left is using any and all means to disrupt the government and call it the democratic process. Obama spent 8 years creating the mess we are in now, and now he and his cronies are spending their time fighting Trump every step of the way.
 
Obama continues to berate the USA and Trump at every speech he gives overseas. He did not have enough time to overthrow the the country from within, so now he is openly trying to stir up anti American sentiment overseas. Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia and China, these are all problems that Obama and his cronies did not take any action for 8 long years. Oh, and I forgot the JV team, ISIS.
 
Well you know Obama is telling us that World War 3 has already started.

For years, he continually sent our boys into Harm's Way in foreign countries, with no plan for them to win, but instead setting them up to lose over and over!

And here he is berating the US and denigrating us, cheating us, and betraying us publicly before our foreign enemies? He is trying to ruin the morale of Americans and American troops, in a time of War which he says exists.

This is the same thing that we hung Benedict Arnold for folks. If it be War, then this be treason!

And as he has performed this treason now, and while he was our commander in chief, I believe he is subject to a Military Tribunal, even though he is no longer leading the military.

I think it would cheer our forces around the world to see the first black American president hanged for treason.
 
OBAMA was a radicalized Muslim...from birth.

Check his history...his background...his family...and his mentors.

All of his up bringing was geared to the Leftist, Socialist, Radicalized Muslim Agenda we lived under for 8 years.

If he wasn't so inept...he could have REALLY ruined this country.
 
Well in retrospect it is clear to me that O'bomba was trying to get Muslims to war against white Americans, and to get the Ku Klux Klan started up again, and he was clearly trying to start a festering race war.

He succeeded too, and because of that he will be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life, and wondering which one of his security detail is not there for his security.

I would be delighted if some refugee muzzie nutjob took him out during one of his trips to Europe--that would be sweet irony! :D
 
While I don't wish anyone to be murdered, it is clear to me that the finest thing this man could do for the United States of America is to die in a hail of Muslim gunfire.
