I have a hunch that the REAL target was Judge Roll, not Giffords.
I agree with you absolutely.
My suspicion is the same as yours....
We thought that might be the case as well, but here in Tucson the local news is all reporting that the judge made a more or less impromptu decision to stop at the event after attending mass at a church about a mile down the street. It wouldn’t have been known that he would be in attendance.
From what I gathered yesterday, Roll just happened by on his way home from Mass, he had not planned to be there. Did he plan to be there?
According to this family the judge had just attended morning mass and his stop at the Safeway event was a spur of the moment decision- he’s a friend of Giffords and stopped by to say hello and so his being there was really coincidental.
