Tucson Tea Party Leader Baits AZ Shooting Victim Into Confrontation!

Breaking News 2011/01/16 02:47:07




Just when you think the Tea Party couldn't get any worse they surprise you!

During a taped event Trent humphries the Tucson Tea Party leader baited the audience saying "conversations about gun control should be delayed until all the dead were buried".

This set off many members in the audience that booed and hissed and one member of the audience James Eric Fuller, 63 was also one of the AZ shooting victims.

Fuller was one of 19 people shot at a Safeway store Jan. 8. Six people
died and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remains in critical condition with a
bullet wound to the head.


Fuller described the shootings as "a bad crime drama" in an interview on
CBS' "The Early Show." He said he felt a bullet that hit his knee but
didn't know he had also been struck in the back. Fuller, a naval air
veteran, drove himself to Northwest Hospital after being shot, according
to the Arizona Daily Star. He was later taken to University Medical
Center where he was released two days later.


Fuller was so incensed by the Tea Party leaders comments that he planned to do nothing to prevent another shooting he reacted by taking a picture of Humphries which he ripped up and said something to the effect of "your dead".

He was escorted from the taping by police where he was admitted to a mental health care facility for observation. He may face misdemeanor charges for disturbing the peace.

Humphries being the sensitive person he is will be pressing charges and claiming to be a victim of a death threat.

It is still unclear if Fuller was at the Safeway to see Giffords or was just a passerby shopping at the store ate the time of the shooting.

It is pretty clear from the audience booing and the callous statements of Humphries that he was intentionally baiting them and Fuller still recovering from the shooting reacted out of stress. in a negative way.

Trent Humphries has the nerve to say he and the Tea Party are victims of the AZ shootings asking for pity and then baits the real victims telling them he won't even discuss gun law changes until they bury all the dead. Now does that mean he expects or wants more dead bodies ?

It does not excuse Fuller's outburst but just how much can a man be pushed before he pushes back ?

    Here we go again with another LIBERAL example of: "Never let a crisis go to waste!"

    It would appear that the author of this posting is trying to take away our Constitutional Right???

    But actually, it is so poorly constructed with lies an assumptions, one has a difficult time trying to understand what it truly is he's trying to convey? Typical of Liberals though!

    Im from Texas..... a state that allows law abiding citizens the right to carry guns on their person. Perhaps if such a tragedy occurred here, JL would have been shot rather than allowed to continue his madness?

    Looks to me like a crazy man shot another crazy man. I guess that's possible where liberals hang out. He has a disability (not physical so I guess it's mental) and after all he hasn't drank for a year! Well, that's good but I don't think he's all there in the head. I wouldn't push his agenda too far because you're just going to put yourself right there with him. Meet him....

    He was a Navy vet. Says he stopped drinking not that he was ever an alcoholic.

    75% of returnin Vets have PTSD and still live normal lives.

    Looks like you are doing a lot of research to discredit this man but have you researched Humphries ?

    No, someone else did. He obviously is unstable. I love how you can condemn people who have done nothing but when it's one of your own....omg....they can do no wrong and it always is someone else's fault. People need to be responsible for their own behavior, no matter what your politics are. We live in the age of blame. We blame everyone, we sue everyone and there is always some underlying excuse for bad behavior.

    It's time for people to accept responsibility for themselves and their actions. I'm not talking some rhetoric that people twist to their liking, I mean real actions!

    There was no baiting. That's just a silly lie. Try again.

    But even if it had been baiting, are you saying it's somehow acceptable for this Left-winger, J. Eric Fuller, to make a death threat?

    You can only push people so far before they push back and he was only charged with disturbing the peace until Humphries cried victim.

    Fuller was a navy vet and was shot in AZ and Humphries pushed his buttons and you are defending the Humphries that says HE is the real victim of the AZ shootings!

    Saying "you are dead" is not a death threat or half the people that said "I wish you were dead" would be in prison.

    Lame comeback. But anyway ...

    You're defending making death threats. Saying "You're dead" isn't the same as saying "I wish you were dead." Humphries didn't claim to be a victim, he said his neighbor was a victim. You've distorted virtually every aspect of this story in an attempt to attempt to spin it against Humpries or the TEA Party. You're absolutely ridiculous.

    Even J. Erick Fuller isn't defending his behavior, and has apologized for his inappropriate comments at this point. Either you're a lying propagandist, or you're as crazy as Loughner.

    Using your rationale we cannot blame Osma Bin Laden and other Muslim jihadists because we "pushed their buttons". Same with Timothy McVeigh. Clinton and Reno sure "pushed his buttons", didn't they?

    His profile seems about as loony as Loughner's. But I like the baby and dog in his profile pictures. Nice touch. My sympathy to him as a survivor of the attack, but I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs before he makes good on his threat to kill.

    What a crock. Humphries comments were hardly provocative. He and Rep. Proud were simply saying that cooler heads should prevail. Looking into Fullers background and his comments since the shooting show this guy is a LWNJ. He went to the Giffords meeting at the Safeway with the intent of shouting down protesters who were not even there. From the liberal rag NYT, "He said he had expected to see protesters at Ms. Giffords’s event, and had planned “to shout them down because I can make a lot of noise.”
    When he didn't have that opportunity he got into an arguement with another veteran that was broken up by now dead Gabriel Zimmerman. This guy is a loon and potentially dangerous. Thank God they're having him seen by psychiatric professionals before he goes off the deep end.
