Shooter targets GOP Congressman at a charity baseball game practice. I stuck my neck out and predicted on social media it would be some nutcase with a political agenda. Sure enough that fact held true. I spent a good amount of time reading peoples opinions on this assclown and even checked out his Facebook page.… Continue reading From the Desk of John Rourke – June 15th, 2017
