Just saw the Congresswoman participating in the reading of the Constitution that was done on the House floor this week. The whacko that shot her professed in his YouTube rantings his disbelief in the Constitution. Could it be that he saw his Congresswoman reading the Constitution? The inevitable snap occurred and his decision was made?
Nope, he’s definitely a anti-Semitic Democrat Leftist who was pushed over the edge by Left-wing hate-talk.
I think it's exactly the question. It matters not to the media what the guy's motivation for shooting Rep. Giffords was. They will spin, spin, spin and keep spinning until they have it rooted in the American Sheeple's minds that evil conservative Tea Partiers, led by Sarah Palin herself, pulled the trigger of the evil gun, all of which should be collected and turned into New Age water fountains.
What happened, and why it happened is bad enough, but it affected only a relative handful of people on the scene and their families. What the Commies turn it into will affect us all. That is precisely the question.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“That is precisely the question.”
No. The question is “Was Gabrielle Jeffords targeted because she read the Constitution?”
I remember because I wrote it.
You know, something like that might set off a paranoid skitz like JL. As good a trigger as any.
Easy access.
I think he was used as a pawn, being so deranged. I want to know what his note says. I suspect the older guy they are looking for has a lot more to do with this than we know.
Bet ya a Guinness he doesn’t.
Her name isn’t Jeffords.
You don’t think so?
Well, I’d bet, but even if I won, I’d lose. Guinness? Gross!
Time will tell.
Thanks. See post 4.
Good:)
I think he was a whacko. No one’s pawn or patsy. Just a whacko. I think he snapped and was going to kill someone. I just wondered what triggered the decision to target her.
Some actual journalism re: the shooter.
He lives in her district and she has been on his radar for years.
That worked! Thanks!
Or he was a fan of the movie “Inception”. ;)
Well, I also think he was a whacko who was going to kill someone, or certainly wanted to. For some reason I think someone tapped into that (a rabid anti-Semite) and made use of it.
I think Giffords was targeted because she is Jewish.
Interesting to listen to it unfold - it doesn’t seem to be as political as originally thought. In any case, time will tell.
Right you were - go have a Guinness on me. Just tell me how much it is, and I will send you the money. :^)
You're right. What was I thinking, looking at what is commonly known as "the big picture"? I mean, what is there to be gained in giving thought to how our political enemies may be planning to use this crime to infringe on our rights? The real important thing to do is to Monday morning quarterback what has already happened into the ground. /s
While I pray for those who were killed or wounded yesterday, and for their families, I'm not related to any of them. I'm also not one of the investigators, so why Loughner did it is not my immediate concern. I do, however, have certain rights which will no doubt be under renewed attack starting tomorrow. Oh yeah, they're your rights, too, just to give you a heads up.
