We have two generations of students, children, that have survived mass shootings in their schools – what our new government employees don’t understand is that you get what you give – nobody cares if a mentally ill person is hurting you or even killing you – because you never once cared about those children
Trump inspired attack
So much for the Model Minority Myth. 😂
Once again a Republican resorts to violence.
Remember, if the races were reversed here, the attacker would be called a white supremacist, this would be a hate crime and a mass attack. double standards are fun kids
When the Democrats finally wake up and stand up to the MAGA-NUT-CASES, to protect our famiies, we will keep getting jumped. Joe Biden will have to issue military weapons and armor for the, "SAVE AMERICA MITLIA (SAM). "
Only registered voters.
It’s not coincidental that MAGA and mental illness are interchangeable.
WHAM PHAM
Wouldn’t it be a shame if it happened to politicians across the country
Wow ! The Nats should sign him !
If only he was on the NYC subway…
If it were a Republican congressman, we wouldn’t have heard a thing about it!
Batter up
Can't you just report the story without trying to make ridiculous connections to other cases? Let the story stand on its own.
nobody knows
what is going on !
…had to be Trumps fault…had to be …how about it demoRATS!
Sounds like mob move scary tactic with a bat to collect on money maybe there’s more to this than we know or being told hmm I have many questions about this guy’s connections
Ban the bats we need stricter laws for bats 😂
Wait- he’s not a white supremist? The left’s reason for everything. I can’t stand that senator but I don’t want anyone hurt. Thank you leftist
Coulda been worse.
Marxists. How come all these attacks are not perpetrated by the ppl the president & fbi says are our greatest threats?
At least his family made sure he got correctly diagnosed. However, you can't force them into treatment unless they are Court ordered and in-patient. If only every family member of these MAGAts cared about their schizo loved one as much, then we'd have way less rabbit holes for their schizo loved ones to jump down into, all because what they hear resonates with their symptoms of schizophrenia.
All of the permanently shut down corporate buildings should be purchased by our government and converted into mental health hospitals, supported housing for the seriously mentally ill and homeless, and public subsidized housing.
Democrats being Democrats.
I can't believe the government isn't doing anything about this, we need "bat control"
Ban bats! Background checks for bats!
No, but in all seriousness that’s terrible.
White supremacy because Republicans don't condemn white supremacy
Republicans trumps administration fault
Well there goes baseball, the left is going to ban baseball bats now.
Biden will make him his running mate.
What? No security checkpoint??
Viet Cong still pized off at democrats.
Bat Man
Chang was thinking he was the clean up batter
he thought he was the designated hitter
It's the fascists
🎵 johnny came marching home again and he's a dadgum fascist☠️
that dude is bat sheet crazy
I feel bad for the attacker he was probably having a bad day. I feel sorry for him.
It’s not a bat, it’s a manually operated term limits handle!
Pham? Must be a white supremacist. Remember how they said the pelosi attacker was a maga republican? They shut up about that quick huh?
Well thank God no one in the office could protect themselves with a legal firerm.😮
