    Yea, Arizona has a lot of anti government with no party affiliation folks. Lets just wait until all the facts roll out.

    Man, I am glad that I am not the president. I would have been cursing like crazy.

    anything short of a life long sentence without parole would be a mockery to our justice system.
     
  5. They say this woman was on Sarah Palins Crosshairs map. Congress people who voted for the HealthCare bill. The list included names and addresses. :shock:

    I heard about this- it's just ridiculous.

    My heart is broken for the families that lost people. That poor little girl who was shot... :(

    They just reported that it was a Glock 9mm.

    Correction, I hope that guy gets the death penalty. No more tax dollars supporting the lives of worthless trash for a very long time.

    Jared Lee Loughner has been identified as the man suspected of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

    Loughner was described by eyewitnesses at the Arizona shooting as a young white man who looked like a "fringe character," in his mid-to-late 20s, clean-shaven with short hair and wearing dark clothing.

    Yeah, that is fucken sad and pathetic, what the fuck is a 9 yo has done to his sorry ass? If you got some beef with an adult and you going with the route of taking him/her out (I dont condone violence, just sayin') then fucken aim on your target accurately like a laser, stop this fucken nonsense of rampage shooting and taking innocent bystanders.

    RIP to the kid and anybody else got hurt in this nonesense.

    Perhaps no other state in America possesses such a nasty political atmosphere than Arizona right now. After looking at the indecipherable nonsense on this kid's youtube page; however, I suspect that he's just a young man who's in need of serious psychiatric attention.

    That said, the political vitriol of people like Palin, Angle, and the Fox News crowd is certainly encouraging for the individual who sees violence as a means for expressing political complaints.

    Any of you history guru care to enlighten us,

    Is this the 1st attempt to gun down an elected US official of any party at state or federal level since Regan got shot?

    there's been many tries, but not like this that involved actual deaths and hospitalizations

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts

    u can verify these using yahoo or google and by going to credible sites like FAS.org or cnn.com

    there's even an attempt to kill Bush Jr by grenade, but supposedly it was inactive....

    i can imagine the bodycount would have been half a dozen if the 'nade exploded
