USA Today so headline and link only.
Especially since he knew this man was a threat or had seemed to be a threat to the congresswoman
BTTT
I’ve been hoping someone with a mic would respond to the sheriff by asking this question.
YES!!! Chief Moose Dupnik. LOL!!!
I agree.
I want this trash taken out to the refuse heap. He needs to spend more time with his family.
Hearings
His blaming Rush Limbaugh for Saturdays shooting is the height of irresponsibility in a public official.
Terrorists don’t use guns. Restrictions on guns will not affect the outcome the maniacs desire.
GOP, Independents, and the two remaining, clear minded Democrats need to push back hard against the opportunism for which the Left is salivating.
The Sheriff seems like someone who would tamper with evidence to get the results he wants. He needs to be be moved far away from the investigation.
Dupnik needs to be Nifonged.
The Dupa is stuck on stupid.
Great pix, where’s Honore when we need him up front!!
THIS IS THE ISSUE.
Dupnik was apparently aware that Loughner had been menacing people - not only politicians, but just anybody who crossed his path - and refused to do anything about it. Dupnik is in his 70s and comes out of the liberal generation that destroyed the mental hospitals and mental health care and gave us 50 years of psychotic derelicts raving in the streets.
He’s covering his posterior.
And trying to deflect blame and discredit others.
Jack Harper has been supporting a bill for concealed carry on campus.

Oh, you better hope this is not true:
“The sheriff has been editorializing and politicizing the event since he took the podium to report on the incident. His blaming of radio personalities and bloggers is a pre-emptive strike because Mr. Dupnik knows this tragedy lays at his feet and his office. Six people died on his watch and he could have prevented it. He needs to step up and start apologizing to the families of the victims instead of spinning this event to serve his own political agenda.”
What have I been saying? That in point of fact the Sheriff had every opportunity to stop this assault by actually enforcing the law and didn’t do so.
Well now the truth is alleged to be this..... it’s much worse, it appears, than anyone thought:
“Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When Pima County Sheriffs Office was informed, his deputies assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County. Amy Loughner is a Natural Resource specialist for the Pima County Parks and Recreation.”
What’s your response to this Mr. Dupnik? A bit of truth comes out, eh? Exactly how many felonies did you decline to investigate and prosecute? Are you going to slink away from the white-hot light of truth or will you “man up” and admit that your scurrilous allegations were disseminated simply to try to save your own hide from the entirely-appropriate wrath at the ballot box that is certain to ensue come next election?
The suspect didn’t just post one threat on an Internet forum and there wasn’t “just one” incident - it’s alleged here that he made multiple death threats against the staff of the college he was ejected from, radio personalities and local bloggers.
Each and every one of those threats was an offense and had just one of them been prosecuted it would have resulted in the suspect being blacklisted in the NICS database - and thus he would not have been able to buy the gun he shot the people in Tuscon with.
And before you go off on this guy and his blog being some sort of nut, here’s the credentials from his page:
James Kelley is a native of Tucson, born here in 1961. A Navy veteran, he graduated twice from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey CA majoring in Albanian and Persian-Farsi. He was a Balkan area, Middle East North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Gulf Area analyst for the Naval Security Group and the National Security Agency. He received his Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of the State of New York, Albany. Since leaving the service he has worked as a premium cruise line representative, telecommunications specialist, real estate broker, and as a substitute teacher in local school districts.
Presently, Mr. Kelley is a contributing columnist for the Arizona News-Telegraph and the Executive Director of SocialNetworkingWatchdog.Org, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to educating youth and seniors on personal security while using social networking.
Does Arizona have a recall process for so-called “elected officials” who behave like this and refuse to accept responsibility for their conduct - including but not limited to blaming others for their own failures that result in the death of innocent people? How about some sort of impeachment procedure? If you don’t, you need both - right now.
Best-a-luck in the next election Sheriff. You’re gonna need it.
