CONGRESSWOMAN GABRIELLE GIFFORDS SHOT

SunShine 2011/01/08 19:15:23
At an event in Arizona (Tucson) she and several others were shot.. it is reported that she has died. This is not the kind of happening any of us ever want to see and we can offer our sincere sympathy to her family and friends.. of which she had many on both sides of the political arena.

Now we are hearing that 4 others were shot and killed as well, including a child.. so very sad.. The shooter is in custody

UPDATE:.. APPARENTLY PREVIOUS REPORTS OF GIFFORDS DEATH WERE ERRONEOUS.. SHE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION HOWEVER.. AND AS MANY AS 12 WERE ACTUALLY SHOT

    Violence against our elected officials (agree with them or not), shall NOT stand as acceptable behavior in our country! The guilty party does NOT have the approbation of Right OR Left; they've only earned justifiable and very public vilification of themselves for their cowardly and loathsome act!

    The Law SHALL find AND punish you!!

    It's not easy to see where he could be viewed as a right winger. He burns flags.

    Yes! I knew there would be one of you saying something like this. How twisted you are to think that I have fun watching people die and get hurt. I have fun watching people cover their butts because they can't possibly admit to making a mistake.

    This makes for a very sad day here in Arizona. I didn't agree with all of her viewpoints but she did indeed embrace the 2nd Amendment and was for securing our border here in AZ. She was a republican that switched over to the Democrat party. How divisive have things gotten that we have lunatics (he was apparently a fan of the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf and was a left winger?!?!) running the streets shooting 9 year olds and women and federal judges. I highly doubt he will be put to death for his crimes as he appears to be barking mad from the onset. For better insight on him, google Jared Loughner and see the YouTube craziness that pops up.

    Not just a politician, but a politician (moderate Dem) and three of her aides in addition to a federal judge and the 9 yr old little girl that was murdered, and bystanders. 5 folks are in surgery now (including Giffords so please pray for her recovery) and 5 are in critical condition. The nutjob that shot her may have had an accomplice, so further arrests may be forthcoming.

    Obama is pro-gun and while I consider him a blue dog, many of us on the left are pro-gun. It is mostly the centerists who are anti-gun.

    He just must have been crazy, apparently if his youtube is something to look at, he's read various political books of various spectrum's and was serving in the military.

    I think the military service was in error in reporting. It was for a person with a different spelling. This guy is a typical product of the public education system (and some hallucinogenic drugs, it sounds like).

    Agreed. Sounds like a definite legally insane individual. While his act was abhorent, he may well be someone like the Reagan shooter who was not able to tell right from wrong because of his delusions.

    My thoughts are with Congresswoman Gifford and her loved ones. Also with the young childs family and the others caught-up in this horror!

    This is a horrible act against our great democracy! I am more than sad at this!

    It is VERY sad that our country is so divided (thanks Obie) that this is what we've come to here in the U.S. I only hope that poor woman can recover. They won't put the little bastard that shot her to death because he's obviously barking mad.

    "our country is so divided (thanks Obie)"

    "that this is what we've come to here in the U.S."

    "This" being the incident in question.

    Bush was divisive, too, not to mention a damned silly man; don't you freaks get tired of hearing "It's Bush's fault!"? Why would you engage in similar behavior?

    here it comes..blame bush and the tea party and sarah palin..the problem with that is they are not the violent ones..the violent ones were the ones that are capable of hating and doing a thing like this and there is no excuse or blame anyone else for this but the man whio did it..who knows how f---k-ed he was or what his problem was with his warped mind..

    Bush escaped this one but the first thing out of her father's mouth was "The Tea Party." Another friend and political wannabe Annie Lloyd starting pointing fingers at the Tea Party and the Minutemen over KTAR radio this afternoon.

    Every one has the right to gun ownership. In my opinion fringe radical groups from both sides help fuel the rage in the shooter mind, Sometime the voices that are spoken are different voices in some people head.

    I do not condone any taking of life of an elected official or any around them. I might ad that it could be a despicable ploy by the left to advance their agenda of gun control and advancing their agenda thru more violence and racism much as happened with the Kennedys, JFK and Robert.
