Indications are that the Tucson shooter was given preferential treatment a few times by the Sheriff because his mother was a part of the political circle.

Funny how that works...

And 20% think Iraq was responsible for 911.
Yea, I can see why "You're dead" is considered a threat to kill. When someone can provide concrete proof that any right wing talking head has ever used a similar statement, I would have some reason to agree with their constant whining.
"I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out -- is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus -- band -- Do, and I've lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, "Yeah, I'd kill Michael Moore," and then I'd see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I'd realize, "Oh, you wouldn't kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn't choke him to death." And you know, well, I'm not sure." -- Glenn Beck, May 17, 2005
I think it's very sad. The shooting seems to have unhinged this man...but it likely would me, too.
Well, having been involuntarily committed to a Mental institution this guy can never buy a firearm again. Unless he petitions the Treasury Secretary and gets a favorable response.
It's good that he was arrested, if this is true.
Doesn't excuse the vitriol on the right, though.

(KGUN) The meeting room at St. Odilias Catholic Church on the citys northwest side was packed with local dignitaries, witnesses to the mass shooting Jan. 8, some of the witnesses to the shootings and the first responders to the scene for a taping of an ABC-TV special, a town hall event, at 11 a.m. Saturday. Host of the program, This Week, is Christianne Amanpour. The show will air at 7 a.m. Sunday on KGUN9-TV.
Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.
According to sheriffs deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, Youre Dead.
Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room.
Pima County Sheriffs spokesman Jason Ogan said later Saturday that Fuller has been charged with threats and intimidation and he also will be charged with disorderly conduct.
Among the dignitaries at the town hall taping were Mayor Bob Walkup, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva and former Congressman Jim Kolbe.
ABC News dubbed the town hall, After the Tragedy: An American Conversation Continued.
A press released stated that the event will restart the conversation that Giffords began. Among those who will join the Town Hall: family members of victims, citizens who took heroic action and community leaders, the press release stated.
How sad that the vitriolic political environment that the Left and the MSM have intensified in the last few days is causing even more violence by the Left.
Let us pray for him and the victims of this terrible tragedy.
Hey Willow - I just noticed ur siggy line. How ironic.
He sent that to me the very day he posted that the violence was Sarah Palin's fault. I'm going to cherish it.

This man should not have said this and is likely now going to get the treatment he needs after his tramatic experience of being shot in this crime.
I would mention to you that fortunately his threat was acted upon and No one was hurt.
He is likely suffereing from post tramatic stress.
Im glad you agree that words do matter and that they can spurn on unbalenced people to violence.
I hope we can convince all Americans that violent speech has no place in our poltical debate.

How did he send it to you?
I dont get how you come to that conclusion Steph?
The man is obviously suffereing mentally from his own near death experience that left him with gunshot wounds.
How is calling for more civil discourse causing this man to act violently?
