Of course not. Not what I'm talking about. Many on here are quick (as we can see) to try and point to their ideological opponents whenever a disaster/tragedy/murder/shooting like this takes place.

I commend you for your restraint and caution to those on your "side".

Quote:
Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s.
I just heard the shooter shouted something as he was firing.

She's one of only 2 Jewish Congresspeople in the history of AZ (the other represented Phoenix - and I'm not counting Goldwater, who was an Episcopalian whose grandfather was Jewish.)

I don't see anyone playing games, but I do wonder if the murders were politically motivated.

guy on cnn saying this was inevitable.

that the state is far right, and that killing a moderate shows how far right arizona has gone.
says arizona has a fetish with guns and that people love them there.

friend also said she got threats.

i lean to it being politically motivated right now, but wont get behind it 100 percent.

Leo Ryan was shot and killed by Jim Jones and his band of nutcases in a foreign country (Guyana) because he ignored advice to accept protection from Diplomatic Security Service special agents. Rumor has it that he was really down there to gather intelligence so that the CIA Special Activities Division and the Guyana Defense Force could storm the Jonestown compound.

This is a tragic event and nobody deserves to be murdered over their political beliefs. I pray that the Obama administration does not use this as an excuse to go after gunowners, the TEA Party, and conservatives in general.
