Ariz. Shooting Victim Apologizes for Outburst
CBS News - Associated Press ^ | 1/17/2011 | CBS/AP

Posted on 01/17/2011 9:16:09 AM PST by Palmetto Patriot

One of the men wounded in a Jan. 8 mass shooting in Tucson apologized Monday for an outburst at a town hall meeting.

James Eric Fuller started ranting at the end of the program Saturday, then took a picture of a Tea Party leader and yelled, "You're dead."

"Deputies made contact with him, attempted to remove him, and he turned around and yelled at everybody and called them all whores," Pima County sheriff's spokesman Jason Ogan told The Associated Press.

Fuller was taken away by law enforcement and later charged with threatening and intimidation, and disorderly conduct.

Fuller apologized through his girlfriend, Dorothy Deruyter.

He has been in a hospital since being involuntarily committed Saturday for a mental health evaluation but wrote a statement and called Deruyter.

Fuller apologized for his "misplaced outrage."

I thought death threats were a felony? I wonder if the charge of threatening is a felony in AZ? This psycho needs jail time and then should he should be closely supervised. Somehow after all the left’s blame game sorry just doesn’t seem to cut it they have made me realize these threats should be taken seriously :)

hwe can apologize all he wants, but he has revealed his deep seated heated seething hatred of the right, and one apoology won’t ever change the way he REALLY feels about people he dissagrees with- and he is ONLY apologizing because he got arrested- had he not been arrested- he no doubt would NOT have apologized- he no dout waqs ORDERED to apologize by the left who have had to eat crow after they held him up as their little media darling for villifying the right and accusing the shooting on the right- his ‘apology’ is about as ‘sincere’ as anything obama says-

OH! Well ok, that's good. I guess we can just forget about it now. Everything seems ok now. Good.

I still have not seen any testimony or video which actually shows this guy being shot. Is it too much to believe that in the aftermath this mentally dysfunctional drunk - by his own testimony - walked,...wounded in the knee,...to his car,...because he didn't know anything about first aid and so couldn't help anyone,...and drove himself to the hospital,...NOT telling anyone,...for treatment! Didi he have a gun or some weapon in the car to inflict a NON-SERIOUS WOUND???????????????? Just asking!

Yeah, he meant to threaten Sarah Palin instead of one of her fallen angels. < /sarcasm, maybe>

Too late, Eric.

For a few hours you had that whole self-righteous Cindy thing right in your hands. First, a triumphant tour of the lefty media: Democracy Now! NPR! ABCNNBCBS! Chrissie! Geraldo! Shep! Piece of cake. Smear the conservatives, bravely recount your ordeal, answer a few puffball questions.

Then, paid-for appearances speaking at all the stinky radical rallies, firing up the Obamabots by shouting incoherent slogans into an echoing microphone while wearing your tattered Navy fatigues with the Special Forces patches. After the shows, plenty of chances to fall off the wagon and consort with the occasional near-sighted groupie. Maybe even a minor-league book deal as part of the payoff. It was all... right there.

And then, in one ill-advised burst of moonbat candor, you let it slip away....

Don’t worry!

Tucson Sheriff Dupnick is investigating the incident.

Um,

Never mind.

Indeed. I would pay big money to see this guy's list of incoming calls from the hive mind of the media before and after his Saturday night "accident".

>>Fuller apologized through his girlfriend, Dorothy Deruyter.<<

Another of those “if I offended anyone” pablums. He didn’t say that he was sorry; he hid behind a woman. She must be some beauty.

This only applies to Conservatives and Christians.

This bastard Fuller is definitely sorry,...that he lost control when he was attempting to turn a community meeting into a gun control rally.

He tipped everybody off as to whom needs to be controlled
