Anti Government to the max. Terrorism, property owners, treasonous government, it’s all there.
This is some kind of manifesto from the shooter.
My new information is that she is in surgery.
From NPR –
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head by a gunman at a public event in Tucson on Saturday. There are conflicting reports about whether she was killed.
The Pima County, Ariz., sheriff’s office told member station KJZZ the 40-year-old Democrat was killed. At least nine other people, including members of her staff, were injured.
Giffords, who was re-elected to a third term in November, was hosting a “Congress on Your Corner” event at a Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.
Wasn’t this inevitable? The language thrown around in the last election was irrational and foolish. Isn’t this the state where Sharon Angle said that we may have to resort to 2nd Amendment solutions? Well, problem solved.
Who’s going to die next?
Are we going to hear the usual explanations about all this talk being just entertainment? Are the books, the radio programs, the television shows, the internet posts, all going to be dismissed? Better yet, will they say the left does the same thing? Will they suddenly discover that there an equality between the two sides? How about an everybody does it argument and the crazy talkers are just being picked out and victimized?
That’s it. That’s the ticket. All these people who said all these things are victims. They are unfairly singled out by the media. They should be apologized to. They’ve only committed wrongs in the minds of the liberal press. It’s unfortunate that there are crazy people but they aren’t to blame, right?
I’m waiting for the manifesto, the television interview, where the gunman talks about the American way of life, the 2nd Amendment, Socialism, Communism, Obama, Obamacare, death panels, the deficit, giant international conspiracies.
Now, you might argue, “James, we don’t know anything yet. The gunman could be a terrorist, an old boyfriend. Don’t talk like that, James. You’re cruelly abusing innocent radio hosts.”
Okay, here’s my argument. This took place in Arizona, a state noted for its interesting beliefs. The discussions there have bordered on violence for some time. There are heavily armed groups that “help” law enforcement patrol the border. Terrorists generally operate in metropolitan areas where they can blend in, have the best chance of escape and get maximum publicity. This leads me to believe we are dealing with a domestic terrorist.
If I am wrong, I will sincerely apologize.
Watch for it – if I’m wrong.
