I am glad that Ms. Giffords has stabilized but am very sorry for the five victims who were killed by this liberal terrorist, one of whom was U.S. District Judge John Roll who was a Bush-appointee and faced many death threats in 2009 while he presided over a $32 million civil-rights lawsuit filed by illegal immigrants against an Arizona rancher.

This is how America was founded. Violence. That is what trips me out, all these people are saying this stuff has no place in our democracy, and all I can think is, were these people asleep during history in college?

Coincidence?
I would like to see the focus of this thread move toward preventing another attack like this. For example, what could law enforcement have done to subdue him before he was able to shoot so may people. I think he was stopped by a civilian...I don't get it.
Was she too exposed in this setting? Did she have any or adequate federal protection?
I just want to make sure this never happens again. I hope the fbi steps in and looks at all angles, including the flag burning video and the author.
Probably nothing that would go over in a free society, sadly. I was just thinking about the "Tent Meeting" that our congressman held at a Labor Day festival in our town. If he had any protection, it was wa-a-a-y undercover. I really don't think he had any, and the city police were around, but not right there in the tent.

Agreed.

A lot of conservative issues (property rights, gold standard / currency, fear of government), but some liberal issues (his favorite books leaned left, illiteracy, civil rights). This kid might just be riding the looney train.
I'm glad he didn't die. That would be too easy an escape.
