Let go of the anger it can't be good for your health.

Quote:
An elderly, former Marine who lost his wife of 54 years in the Tucson mass shootings expressed his anger at fellow victim and Congresswoman Gabbie Giffords.

George Morris, 77, was shot in the leg and back in the attack just over a year ago as he tried to protect his wife from the gunman. Dorothy Morris, 76, was killed after the couple had gone to the Safeway supermarket to quiz Ms Giffords' political opinions.

Mr Morris, who describes himself as 'ultra-conservative', even refused a visit from President Obama while he recovered in hospital following the shootings in Arizona.

Even though I disagree with the majority of his message, I am proud that this country gives him the right to say it!

While I"m sorry for his loss, he's blaming the wrong person.

I saw that, but I don't understand why it constitutes "news". I mean, I know that Britney's new purse and Justin Bieber's new haircut are considered news in this country, but I see no reason for publishing this "story".

It's not from a US newspaper.

I don't understand but i do understand his very misplaced anger and who it is directed at. It may seem wrong to all of us and misplaced, but this is how he is handling his loss. Wrong to many of us, but he needs someone to blame even if the wrong person.
I know his anger is so out of tune with what happened. But his rememberence of that fateful day, is remembered by that of Gabby Giffords.
Hopefully as time passes, he will come to forgive her, for she did nothing and a victim herself.
That day was a reminder that there are many sick people out there.

Kat, They took the story from an interview he gave to the Arizona Republic newspaper. They ran stories on all of the victims in Sunday's edition.
