Gabrielle Giffords shot in head??

[steff]

This is what happens with all the calls for violence and for revolution. Even if it is one "nut case", point is, THIS is what happens. Someone listens, is unstable and takes it too far. Innocent people DIE.

This punk was in my daughter's graduating class. My kids are all over the computer. None of them were friends with him, thank God.
I think I am through with politics. This is too close to home. Let everybody kill each other. I am just going to try to lay low and protect my kids and grandbabies.

Hi Krickitt

You and all Tucson residents must be in total shock. This is truly a crazy and scary situation. I just cant believe this happened and so close to where you live.

Do we have ANY proof that he LISTENED to this? I would very much doubt this guy is and R or a D.

Guess this qualifies me as a murderer??

WE THE PEOPLE- AMERICA RISING

How do you feel about all the posts about "we're coming for you" now krickett? Don't think you were right there inciting violence towards politicians? Because you were. Well someone came for her, a Federal judge died, a 9 year old girl died. An INNOCENT 9 year old girl is dead. People DIE when stupidity goes too far with calls for "coming after" someone or "taking someone out" and using a gun sight as a marker. All the calls for violence created this....

Before it is all said and done he will be tied to a militia group, wiki leaks, the christian church, or Ron Paul. That is the agenda, and that is where this will all go eventually and it matters not what the reality of the situation is. I find it difficult to believe that the "he acted alone" story will stick............it's just doesn't have any political potential.

So this is how to end the hate?

I have not set "ending hate" up as my goal in life Bills. In fact there ARE things I hate. Liars, thieves, murderers.............divisive scumbags, etc.

SWEET-- oh my God, I cannot even describe how I feel. I am horrified. Sweet-- I wish we could just go to the lake in BHC and forget all of this insanity. I am rocked to my soul.

[SweetVirginia]

I feel so sad for the parents of the child who died, and all the family members of those who died today. Their nightmare is just beginning.

No, steff-- I am not a murderer, and people like you are vicious enough to just go after people like me. Back away from me, steff. Do not challenge me here. You WILL NOT TAKE ME OUT ON THIS BOARD.

[sanityjones]

Calls for violence did not cause this. Personal choice did.

[steff]

a 9 mm glock with an extended clip. So what kind of animals do hunters hunt with a glock w/ an extended clip? People maybe?

[steff]

Grow up krickett. This isn't even about you. Stop the victim routine already. It's a message board and I'll challenge the calls for violence, revolution, and "we're coming for you" crap that you and others have constantly called for. THIS is what happens from that.

[Deleted]

Moderators note... aside from Tenn... watch this thread. When posters are getting accused of murder it is time to take note.

[sanityjones]

Guns did not cause this, personal choice did.

This is so scary. I can only hope that nothing like this EVER happens again. Thank Goodness that neither you nor anyone in your family were there at that safeway. I hope the families and AZ come out of this ok.

Sarah Palin's website literally put crosshairs on Gabrielle Giffords and 19 other congress members - Imgur

Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Anyone that says this guy really had true political motivations or much less was motivated by any one politician is just trying to exploit the tragedy.

He was insane and disturbed, like many that have come before him.

[dmsm]

When will we ever learn that to promote violence of any kind and for any reason is going have consquences..I think we are seeing that today.

"Calls for violence did not cause this. Personal choice did."


Calls for violence allow people to believe that their choice of violence is a valid and supported one... They create an environment where violence is legitimized and people believe they can be heros for adopting violence...

[steff]

Thank Goodness that neither you nor anyone in your family were there at that safeway.

*****************

nothing like going to the grocery store and getting to DIE because someone targets a politician. ANYONE calling for violence against politicians has a hand in this. Well someone "came for her", happy now?

I guess I misunderstand your message #73 when you indicated you wanted to flush this crap. Stir away.

Do you believe that given enough calls to violence that you too will finally cave in and go postal?? Yeah me neither, which is why I call bullshit on that particular argument.

[burnsattornincan]

Imagine having to live with this? A message board relationship is about all I could ever take.

[steff]

*********************

but there ARE people out there that will do it. That will take their weapons and go after politicians or other citizens who have differing political views. THIS is what happens. Innocents DIE. Even if only 1 person goes "postal" on a politician, that's 1 too many.

[ungenteel]

will the righties ever have a realistic perception of the potentential effects of their ongoing attempts to engender anger in their cracker "base"

and don't accuse me of using the term cracker as a racial term .. cracker is a mindset .. not a reference to a race

[Deleted]

Sweet-- it is right down the street from me. Freaks me out. My son drove right by it this morning on his way here to pick his puppy up. This is my neighborhood. I don't want to live in this kind of country. I did not grow up in this kind of country. BHC-- I get it, but, sweet, you should check out New Mexico. Further from the front of violence than we are in AZ and CA. I have an aunt and uncle there.

This twitter friend twitter.com/caitieparker says he was 'left wing'

@antderosa As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy.

So time to maybe stop the Palin stuff now?

Edit: ok this person says she hasn't talked to him in 3 years.

[steff]

No, I won't stop with the Palin stuff. Nor stop with pointing out anyone else that calls for violence as the solution to any of the problems our country has. She put it out there, was proud of it, now she can suffer the backlash for what she supported.

It's time to stop listening to all the calls for violence and fear mongering.

[billisonboard]

"I did not grow up in this kind of country."

You that young? I did, I remember JFK, MLK Jr., and RFK.
