I think this is a pot smoking college drop out loser who was out of his mind. He met her before the way John Lennon's killer met him before that murder.
Familiarity makes many targets, more often in burglaries though.
I think he decided to try and kill the famous person he met before.
Why kill all those people in the crowd? He didn't know which ones agreed with her or him in politics.
He was frootloops and that was all.
Yes and according to acquaintances, this killer was liberal and acted strange. One of his favorite books was the Communist Manifesto.
It is exactly that kind of statement that I think folks
are talking about, that creates a climate.................

When asked by a reporter if Giffords being shot could have been motivated by "prejudice and bigotry," Dupnik responded, "All I can tell you is that there's reason to believe is that this individual may have a mental issue. And I think that people who are unbalanced are especially susceptible to vitriol."
While speaking, the sheriff said that himself it included, "it's not unusual for all public officials to get threats." However, he said the sentiment doesn't come without consequences.
"And that's the sad thing of what's going on in America," he explained. "Pretty soon, we're not going to be able to find reasonable, decent people who are willing to subject themselves to serve in public office."
When we fill our air waves with assumptions about others,
not based on fact, and you have TV cable stations
that cater to the "I want a reason to be mad
crowd" you are going to get folks like this, it's a given.
Doesn't matter if it's left or right.
What has to change in this country, is this mentality of unaccountability.
We don't have journalism anymore. We have sensationalism.
Sad state of affairs, every which way I look. Folks have
to start thinking before they speak.
The states that can be considered "the mecca for prejudice and bigotry" are liberal states like California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc. I have a family member who lives in Connecticut, a very liberal state full of racists and bigots, and she is extremely prejudiced and bigoted.

This guy was more like a Hitler or Stalin. Meaning some call those two far left or right. IMO they were just murdering tyrants. I put this guy in the same kind of classification.
He was such a mental mess he had no real normal thought patterns going there and I doubt he had anything close to any reasoning for his so called political beliefs.
Well at least he will have lots of sex in prison before he is found guilty and is executed.
More than likely he will not live to see his execution IMO.

I am not even going there.
You know the South (red states) have the highest murder rates in the country? why?
GUNS
RACISM
BIGGOTRY
California and other liberal states are very open to new races and cultures. Yes there are racisits in them but what state doesn't have racists?
It is EXACTLY THAT KIND OF CRAP THAT IS CRAP - don't know any other way to say it.
He also read Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Brave New World, Old Man and the Sea, etc.
His list of books read were no different than most kids read
in school.
The funny thing is - the liberals here were very eager to try to exploit this and blame conservatives in some way, they so much wanted this to be about that - but when it became obvious that the guy didn't believe in God, was actually liberal and used marijuana, they claim his liberal leanings didn't have anything to do with it. At least people should be consistent.
If it turned out he was conservative, then schizophrenia would have had nothing to do with his actions, but since it turned out he was liberal, then schizophrenia is the cause?
Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is against the tos
nice try, but that was 2005!!!!!
It's hilarious when right wingers try to bash liberals by using websites and articles that are out of date!
