Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot In Arizona

[Cecilie1200]

I'm worried about the government response more.

I doubt you'll see Congressmen and Congresswomen going to campaign stops without extra security for awhile now at the very least. I doubt any sort of laws will be passed on a larger scale.

What kind of laws could you pass? "It is henceforth illegal to shoot Congressmembers"? I think we already have that one. Hell, I'm pretty sure this is even a federal crime, because she's a federal employee who was shot while carrying out her job as a federal employee, much the same as that postal worker who was shot while delivering mail a couple years back.

AP claims they have the shooters name, but are not at liberty to relese it

reported by Shep Smith

Now, this is where things get interesting. The media who are withholding the name are correct.

I went looking for his Facebook page, but it looks like they already took it down.

She was a Democrat, but a very moderate one who was tough on border security: she wanted the National Guard there. But she opposed AZ's immigration law. She's not bad on gun rights and has a military husband... very attractive woman. Just not a polarizing figure like Tom Tancredo or Nancy Pelosi.

Hard to speculate.

This is a true tragedy. The shooter I almost certainly going to turn out to be a nutter.

God I hope he was a nutter. Otherwise the fallout on this would be disastrous.

In any case . . . it was a nutter.

One child and one Federal Judge among the deceased.

Second person arrested.

According to CNN, 12 were shot, the congresswoman and six are dead.

For the record, the latest update from the local Tucson news station (I know it's not as good as the Huffington Post, but what can you do? ) says that she's still alive. She's out of surgery, and her doctors are optimistic.

"Dr. Peter Rhee of University of Medical center told reporters at 2:00 PM Saturday morning that ten patients have been brought to the hospital. Of those, one is dead, five are in surgery and the rest are in recovery. The five in surgery are in critical condition.

Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villaseñor confirmed at the same press conference that one suspect is in custody.

Dr. Rhee said the deceased victim was a child, but did not release the victim's identity."

Ok guys, I just moved 119 posts that involved any politicizing or response to politicizing from this thread including some of my own posts. Let's keep this thread free of that going forward, shall we?
