Someone Fired 23 Shots at Alabama Democratic State Senator's Home

(F'en wackos getting encouraged. Yet another WTF!)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/someone-fired-23-shots-at-alabama-state-sen-vivian-davis-figures-home?via=twitter_page

At least 23 bullets were fired into the home of Alabama state Sen. Vivian Davis Figures (D) early Thursday morning in what police said was a targeted attack. Luckily, Figures, who’s held her position in the state Senate since 1997, wasn’t at her Mobile home at the time and no one was injured. Mobile police spokesman Lt. Christopher Levy said it “does not appear to be a random act.” The motive behind the barrage of bullets remains unclear. “She’s a good neighbor, good neighbor,” one of the lawmaker’s neighbors told Fox10 News. “It’s terrifying! Right in your own backyard or right on your same street.”

8. As Trump settles down to watch the aftermath on his TV, much as patting himself on his back for 1/6.

Doesn't sound like a handgun; at least not one attacker. Shooting up a house with an assault rifle only has one purpose; and it isn't to scare......

5. The home of a Dem legislator in AL is used for target practice and the motive remains unclear?

I'd say the Mobile Police Department is refusing to state the obvious here.

The same American political team behind and supporting and birthing today's terrorists, is the team that supported Rumsfeld, waterboarding, and coerced confessions to unthinkable sins like democracy.
