First Photo I Saw Of Shooter In Arizona


Info about Jared Loughner.

(And if you were watching CNN and Fox this afternoon, you heard both of them "confirm" that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords had died.)

And in a strange twist, Giffords read "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" part of the Constitution this week.

Edit: The smokinggun.com has a couple of his pics, one being a glock on a U.S. History book.

Edit: A federal judge was killed.

Edit: Wow. "9-year-old shot dead today at the Giffords event was featured in a book “Faces of Hope: Babies Born on 9/11.""

Yahoo news says she is still alive and just came out of surgery.

Who would have thought? He was quiet and kept to himself. He had lost a lot of weight and even started making commercials for Subway sandwiches.

This guy does NOT deserve to die. We must rally against the death penalty. It doesn't matter how many kids and retirees he walks up to and shoots in the head, right?

Every radical, whether right wing nut or left wing nut, should take partial blame for pushing to have our society act like a mob instead of acting civilized. Radicals are IDIOTS and we would be better off without them.

Didn't Palin have her cross hairs on Giffords' region? Just saying.

This IS the biggest reason to say our HEALTH CARE system sucks. This young man has struggled with mental illness for a very long time. And if any of you have had a mentally ill family member you know the process, lack of service and the emphasis on insurance does not serve Mentally Ill. What he did is deplorable. But the WV shooter, UT shooter, and many other suffer from mental illness. This IS not about left or right this is about Mental Illness. If you know about Mental Illness you will know that many Mental Ill Hospitals were closed in the Reagan years in response to a 60 minute show that showed the deplorable conditions patients suffered. After closure, it was said that local mental health outpatients facilities would be provided. In their "conservative" fashion no local mental health clinics were opened because they refused to provide the funds needed to open the clinics. Therefore we have mentally ill in prisons, homeless and those that function at a higher level....shooting and making crazy videos. Mental illness is real, and needs to be addressed.

This crazy pot smoking radical reminds me of Bill Ayres.

Well here we go again. he Republican's have only been in majority of the house less than one week and thanks to the Tea Party Wing and their rhetoric, some radical right-wing antigovernment nut-job thinks it's open season on the Democrats and decides that includes anyone that is attending the gathering. If they controled all three branches, he would have prbably been a suicide bomber and taken out the entire parking lot. What's next, an assassination attempt on the President from the House floor during the State of the Union address?

3:08 PM, Wasn't it your boy Obammy that talked about "if they bring a knife, we bring a gun" and "we talk to them so I'll know who's ass to kick?" Too bad Jared was a dope smokin liberal weenie wing nut commie like yourself and not a patriotic tea party member.

3:13 The shooter is disturbed and does suffer from mental illness; but we don't know if the parents made attempts to get him help. He was kicked out of community college and made verbal threats saying he wanted to kill police.

Perhpaps out of this, the public can be protected from disturbed people who plan to kill. It doesn't appear there was a political motive behind the madness.

We need to know more about the family to see if it is the health care system or just no one taking responsiblity for a family member.

So its OK for the Dems to talk about assasinating President Bush, but the Conservatives can't even put a cross-hair on the state of Arizona? When does the shooter become responsible for his own actions?
