That’s right, the shooters tossed a Gadsden flag over the bodies of their victims. I’m sure that’s purely a coincidence, they were looking to start a revolution in color schemes or something. Nothing to do with Cliven Bundy’s loony supporters or the Tea Party in general. Nope. Nothing to see here. Move along.
