Breaking: Tucson Tea Party Leader Threatened At ABC Taping, Audience Member Screams: “Trent Humphries You’re Dead!”
While Trent was speaking at the event, an audience member screamed, “Trent Humphries, you’re dead!”
ABC News held a town hall event today in Tucson, Arizona. Local officials, friends and heroes were at the event. News anchor Christiane Amanpour was the host. The segment will air tomorrow. ABC gathered members from the Tucson community to discuss the tragic shooting last Saturday that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and left 6 people dead.
State Representative Terri Proud was at the event sitting between Trent and the violent audience member. Terri was there to speak about the local gun laws. She described the scene to me just minutes ago:
Trent Humphries, the Pima County tea party leader, stood up to speak during the event. He was being very respectful. Trent told the audience that before we start placing blame on individuals we need to get all the facts. Trent then told everyone that one of those killed during the shooting was his neighbor and that he was affected like everyone else by the tragedy… While Trent was speaking- And it was planned that he would speak- One member in the audience and reportedly one of the victims of the tragedy started screaming, “Trent Humphries you’re dead!” The police immediately escorted him out. On his way out he screamed, “You’re all whores.”

He decided that because he didn't have any medical training to help others, he walked to his car and drove himself to the nearest hospital.
Things that make you go Hmmm.
The guy is wounded in the knee and he walks to his car and drives himself to the hospital.
Sure it could be a minor wound but if it is that minor that you can walk to your car I would think that normal human inclination would be to do what ever you could to help the others no matter what little medical skills you have.
Just these little facts make me believe this guy is scum and a poser.
Maybe not a staffer, but sure sounds like a lib groupy who is looking for a higher paying gig, “as a Staffer”.
OH boy, Fuller will scream bloody murder if they do.
But will the Sec Ser clear him?
Just having Amanpour hosting tells me all I need to know about bias.
No way the Secret Service lets this guy within a mile of anyone they protect.
Yes,Nancy Pelosi told him to say “it was accidental”.Good ol Nancy.
Way to pull everyone together barry.
Yes it does
“No way the Secret Service lets this guy within a mile of anyone they protect.”
Sounds like a good idea.
Knee? when he showed his wound to the Fox people, it was in his calf. WTHIGO.
Are we SURE this guy was even AT the shooting site?
I wonder if the FBI would confirm or deny his presence?
Did he himself not identify himself as working for Giffords some time yesterday when he was out ranting about Boehner and the rest of the 2nd. amendment folks.
Or at least stay and give a police report. Wouldn't you ? It seems odd to leave a scene so quickly. You wouldn't know the extent of your injury- you'd wait around for an emt to check you out, then give a ststement to the police.
Fuller stated that he worked on her re-election campaign.
Never heard such a claim, and I can't believe the MSM wouldn't have hyped it during the past week.
He gathered signatures and hung fliers on doors. If that qualifies someone as a staffer, then I was an aide to GWB.
Not if you are a spineless coward.
This guy after being shot had no idea if there was one shooter or ten.
He knew he could move and move he did. He ran for his life.
Not having any medical skills is a convenient face saving lie.
He ‘misspoke’ because of his ‘grief.’ Welcome to the Thriver Zone.
Fox is going to show video of the incident in a few minutes.
bump...
....and now Tea Party folks are facing death threats from the left?
When are those worthless bastards going to try feeding us to the lions?
I heartily encourage them to threaten my life and see what happens next.
