I agree with you that everyone grieves differently, that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Anger is part of the grieving process. But blaming Giffords for the death of his wife is misdirecting that anger, and the people on this thread who've noted that are also not wrong. Because he's blaming the target of the violence instead of the person who committed the violence, his anger can never be resolved. Giffords will never be held responsible for the shooting, and this man's anger will simply continue to build, not go away over time. When people feel anger over something, it's about accountability, a sense of injustice. This man wants Giffords held accountable, something that's not going to happen, and so his sense of injustice will always be an open wound. Grieving is about healing, but his anger won't let him heal, and that's why posters are concerned for him.

He is allowed to think and feel as he pleases...even rejecting Obama...that's ok, but the anger he harbors will eventually chew him up and spit him out...and all we can do if feel very sorry for him and hope he will be able to find some peace in his life. None of us can predict what we would feel and how we would act under the same circumstance. Is it wrong for him to feel this way? Yes, blaming Gabby is certainly wrong...however, he is not thinking clearly, and may not ever again?

This guy sounds like a nut. This should be on the radar for law enforcement, they should at least take away any guns this guy owns. I hope that someone is keeping track of him, he sounds like he might try to finish what Loughner started.

Maybe we can arrest and indefinitely detain him. I mean, just until he comes to his senses and agrees with us.

Way to take the misplaced anger of a very old man who has suffered much from this tragedy....and use it to make a cheap shot.

His "loon-acy" is exceeded only by that of the media and the Democrat party who immediately blamed Sarah Palin and the Tea Party.

He should be upset with that murderer who killed his wife. He needs to be on meds, imo.
