What's next, the jury gives the shooter in this instancea lighter sentance because the lawyer can get a jury of Glenn beck sheeple who thought the man was right to stop Giffords moderate positions from oppressing him?

No one has a right to say condone the killing of another group of people based on beliefs.
So what if it came out that the words of that song he had on his favorite video (his own video I'm sure but under his other alias) inspired him?

"Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor" is pretty specific - so if you intend to censor - do you intend to censor only Conservatives or music groups also?

I'm pretty sure you never wanted anything done about Kilbourne's calling for assassins to get Bush - that was free speech of course.

There had to have been some signs that he was so troubled.

Well, there are quite a few people on there that went to school with him, not just the one girl who is being hounded by the media. And those that knew him say he tilted left.

That's just one person's Twitter feed, and she said she hasn't spoken to him since 2007 on there.

What political party you are affiliated with means absolutely nothing today. My prayers go out to all who have suffered because of this tragedy.

This is not how America does things.
