A Republican was not only shot but killed.
U.S. District Judge John Roll.
Why is no one talking about this?
Why is no one talking about the fact that Judge Roll was to preside over the trial of violent Mexican cocaine trafficker Victor Flores exactly one month from now on February 8th 2011?
The silence is deafening.
A congress WOMAN is sexy news. Plus she was a Democrat. Even sexier because it can be fit into their template narratives on "right-wing hate radio," Palin and the Tea Party.
All indicates are Giffords was the target. I heard at one of the press conferences, the judge, a Catholic, stopped by just to say hello since he was nearby. He had gone to mass and was on his way home. It appears he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and NOT a specific target.
