Shooting victim apologizes for 'misplaced outrage' at Tea Party leader
CNN ^ | 1/17/11 | Staff

Posted on 01/17/2011 6:23:52 PM PST by Nachum

Tucson, Arizona -- Arizona shooting victim James Eric Fuller sent his apologies Monday for telling a Tea Party leader, "you are dead." Dorothy DeRuyter, a companion of Fuller's, provided CNN with a statement. "I would like to tender my sincerest apologies to Mr. (Trent) Humphries for my misplaced outrage on Saturday at the St. Odelia's town meeting," Fuller said in the statement. "It was not in the spirit of our allegiance and warm feelings to each other as citizens of our great country." Fuller, 63, was involuntarily committed to a county mental health facility

Another lie from the CNNies. He didn’t “apologize”, his girlfriend did. They’ve got the loonie locked up so he doesn’t hurt anybody. There’s a lot of that going around in “Tuscon” these days.

He also said:

James Eric Fuller, 63, who was shot in the knee, had told The Post on Friday, the day before his arrest, that top Republican figures should be tortured -- and their ears severed.

"There would be torture and then an ear necklace, with [Minnesota US Rep.] Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin's ears toward the end, because they're small, female ears, and then Limbaugh, Hannity and the biggest ears of all, Cheney's, in the center," Fuller said.

Also on Friday, Fuller stopped by the home of gunman Jared Lee Loughner and told a neighbor he was going to forgive the shooter, The Associated Press said.

I really hope the people who this guy yelled at simply say something like this...

“I/we accept your apology and sincerly hope you find comfort in your life after experiencing such a difficult event”

This is the time to be the bigger person and show that conservatives can empathize with the average joe who just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Doesn’t sound very crazy to me. Where was he when he made this statement? Did they kick him loose from the looney bin?

Prove he was a shooting victim.

He fled the scene and never was taken to any hospital.

He drove himself to a hospital.

He did not stay to render aid or make a statement to LEOS.

ALL gun shots have to be reported to the LEOs.

Where is the report of his being shot?

Which Doc attended to his wounds?

What were his wounds?

misplaced outrage

We need to worry where he is going to eventually place his outrage, whether it is still misplaced or not.

Interesting article. So he wants Cheney’s ears in the middle? Hmmm, sounds to me that he has been listening to the hateful rhetoric of the LEFT - believing them when they blamed the right. I’m surprised he didn’t want Bush’s ears as well.

Jared Loughner, 22, has been charged in the shooting, but no evidence has been found that could link a motive to incendiary rhetoric.

Has hell frozen over? Has CNN capitulated on this? Of course it was buried at the end of a short article, so it's not like shooting a flare up or anything.

Ooops, I made a "shooting" metaphor. I'm sorry.

Yo, James, where would your outrage have been properly placed?

Any evidence this nutcase didn't jamb a phillips screw driver into his leg after driving himself to the hospital? Of course in his Democracy Now interview he claims he "was taken" to the hospital. The guy can't keep his story straight.
