Arizona Congresswoman Shot

Kinda retarded to start tagging anyone as left or right wing when a 9 year old dies.

Not sure what that has to do with anything. If a terrorist attack killed children you can be pretty sure their political stance would be the first thing to come up.

Condolences to the victims and their families. At this point, his political leanings are less important than that he was likely a paranoid schizophrenic with a high capacity magazine in his Glock.

Wow…you guys are assholes. I knew Judge John Roll (appointed by George Bush) and Deacon Raphael Longpre, and you guys are bickering over whether he was left or right?

You are being unreasonable if you expect the question of political motivation not to come up when a Congresswoman is shot during a political event.

why’s it matter who appointed him, asshole.

it’s relevant information about a tragic event, that’s why it’s being discussed. Murdering people because of a political bent is much different than murdering because of actual psychosis.

Gifford was shot from close range and according to Dr. Peter Rhee from University Medical Center in Tucson, the bullet went through Giffords’s brain, exiting from the other side of her head. Giffords is currently in critical care under anesthesia.

It will be miraculous if she does survive, either way how well could she possibly mentally function now?

Granted I know as little as anyone else, but I have reservations about bringing something like that into the fray. From the information out there the guy seems like a paranoid schizo or something, and I doubt that something Palin said would be the impetus for this. However, I doubt that we’ll see her “targeting” anyone in the future.[/quote]

I think we have to hold the rhetoric suspect.

I totally agree

More news. FOX is reporting that Giffords was the target, they don’t think the shooter acted alone and there is now a suspicious package at her offices.

The gunmen shot her first from close range. They are looking for a 50 year old white male.

certainly interesting, the gunman definitely seems like someone who could have been manipulated.

She’s a Bluedog Dem. Why would anyone go after her?

You’d think a whacko would go after someone further from the middle. She was a nice middle-of-the-road congressperson, not very controversial.

May the dead so far Rest In Peace
and a speedy recovery for Ms. Giffords.

If we walk away with one lesson let it be that criminals always find a way to get a gun. Stricter gun control laws will only keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens.

I agree. I tried not to frame it in the context of stricter gun control. More wondering if it was provided to him, or if it was improperly stored at home. Reports were that he lived with his parents.
