  1. 2023 USA has had 6 school shootings and 49 US mass shootings in January this year.

    1996 UK had 1 school shooting and no school shootings since.

    1923 New Zealand had 1 school shooting and no school shootings since.

    C'mon, are they teaching 'dumb' as a subject at US schools?

  2. Dems used to string you up to a tree, now they just shoot you for not being one of them…

  3. BOTH of these councilpersons were republican. Why is NOBODY reporting that fact? "Not politically motivated?" Bullsh|t.

  4. It's called staging so it doesn't look like what it actually is. People are not buying it sorry.

  5. U.S.A. U.S.A..U.S.A..👍

  6. Just more criminal democrats murdering people. They're doing it every day in cities all over America.

  7. It's time to ramp up security around elected local officials.

  8. probably lawmakers are in need of taking responsibility for letting murderers back out to the streets. karma i guess, however crAZY IT IS LOL

  9. These two typical NBC News "reporters" managed to get through the entire story without mentioning that both murder victims were Republicans. Oh golly, I trust these two "reporters" so much.

  10. More political violence – gun control is necessary!

  11. 1 week after the councilwoman

  12. 😏Impossible…. Jersey has
    extremely strict gun laws and this occured in a gun free zone. Right? 🤔

  13. It's Governor Murphy fault

  14. This is like a daily thing in these Blue States. What is going on here?

  15. Considering the role of Mob in NJ, it is possible it is Mob related. Now, remember for the Mob it makes no difference if you are republican or democrat. If you get in Mob's way, you are in trouble. In addition, Don the Con has strong connections to the Mob in NJ, and has invited the Mob Bosses to visit him at Mar a Lago. So, may be these two GOP officials were considered RINO by Don the Con.

  16. Where’s the FBI? Self inflicted, two shots to back of head? Never mind… FBI likely collaborating with CIA on the coverup

  17. A blacks man shot a white Republican. How comes now nobody talks about hate crime??? Not fitting the the woke leftist narrative, right? Revolting double standard at every level! Mainstream media are garbage.

  18. I’m sure his reasons were 50/50 conspiracy, what a weird history you have made for yourself. Too bad you wouldn’t be the truthful type. Guess these things happen then.

  19. When Republicans start shooting back, they will be labeled terrorists.

  20. Two similar assassinations (both were killed in their car) within a week of each other, something’s up

  21. sending Thoughts and Prayers in advance to everyone lives in a G un In fested count three…

    its only a matter of when gonna be your turn…

  22. Could you IMAGINE if this was two democrats?!? Y’all would be losing your minds!!! Especially a black woman! Hmm the outrage is so low…

  23. Leftists/Democrats are now murdering conservatives.

  24. What difference does it make by calling it a workplace shooting?
    Are you less dead if shot at work?
    Are you more dead if shot for color?

    Maybe this is the new form of elections?

  25. this is looking like a mafioso hitjob

  26. Another one, huh? Something deeper going on

  27. May he Rest In Peace!

  28. This is the second shooting to a council member; this is starting to seem like a sinister plot. 🥺

  29. The gunmen will blame Rachel Meadow ?
    Like the shooter who shot Republicans playing basketball

  30. Another state with gun laws.

  31. Two Republicans assassinated in New Jersey. Media neglected to say they are Republicans.
