Shooter is dead... I see. Well, he had an automatic rifle, so the cops probably unloaded on him pretty seriously.

Still.

Here is Senator Bernie Sanders' statement.

"A staunch Democrat, volunteered for Bernie Sanders campaign"

Ok, this officially stinks.

Then again, US gun culture is off the handle.

Stinks.

Shooter's FB page is completely fucking insane.I don't know if it's just a slurry pit for sick folks and crazed memes on FB... or some sort of elaborate set-up to suggest there are dangerous jihadist Trump-hating Bernie Bros.

[seemslikeadream]

I been told not to mention the word trump in this thread......

"A staunch Democrat, volunteered for Bernie Sanders campaign"

SAN FRANCISCO ― At least two people have died after a shooting in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood on Wednesday morning, according to numerous reports.

The shooter is “down” and has a self-inflicted wound, local outlet KQED reported, citing a San Francisco Police Department officer.

The incident occurred around 9 a.m. local time at a UPS facility, the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management said. At least one employee recognized the shooter as a fellow UPS worker, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

San Francisco police advised residents to avoid the area and shelter in place. They began a search of the building, which takes up an entire city block, around 10:15 a.m. Police declined to provide further details on the incident to HuffPost.

Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center had reported multiple admissions from the shooting, according to San Francisco Chronicle journalist Filipa Ioannou.

Trump son tweet connects shooting to NYC 'Julius Caesar' play
CNN Digital Expansion 2017

Updated 10:51 AM ET, Wed June 14, 2017

The Public Theater in New York City's "Julius Caesar" has garnered droves of negative attention because the contemporary rendition of William Shakespeare's classic features a Caesar -- who with his blonde hair, suit and long tie -- looks like Trump. The play also has Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, speak in a Slavic accent very much like first lady Melania Trump.

Fox News and other conservative media blasted the play, leading Donald Trump, Jr. to tweet, "Serious question, when does 'art' become political speech & does that change things?"

I wonder how much of this "art" is funded by taxpayers? Serious question, when does "art" become political speech & does that change things? https://twitter.com/foxnews/status/873912863412428800 …

Well, I can see our artistic licenses being suspended soon.

He's not the only shameless Republican pushing that shit:

WATCH: Fox host shames Newt Gingrich for blaming GOP baseball shooting on ‘vulgar’ Democrats
Brad Reed
14 Jun 2017 at 13:15 ET

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Wednesday blamed the shooting at the Republican baseball practice on Democrats who spout “vulgarities,” among other things.

Talking with Fox News, Gingrich pointed fingers at left-wing “hysteria” that he says has exploded ever since President Donald Trump’s election last fall, as evidenced by Kathy Griffin’s latest stunt in which she held up a likeness of Trump’s severed head.

“The intensity on the left is very real,” Gingrich said. “Whether it’s a so-called comedian holding up the president’s head in blood, or it’s right here, in New York City, a play that shows the president being assassinated. Or it’s Democratic leading national politicians who are so angry they have to use vulgarity because they can’t find any common language.”

Fox’s Melissa Francis at this point objected and questioned whether it was right to blame the shooter’s actions on Democrats who swear.

“With respect, though, even if everything you’re saying is true, to talk about it in those kinds of terms, in left and right, right now in the wake of it, does that make sense?” she asked.

“If you want to know the truth,” Gingrich replied.

“But do you rise above it and say…” she began.

“No!” Gingrich objected.
