Dupnik's comments cheered many residents of this relatively liberal town. ... ...But it also horrified many conservatives.
It didn't horrify me. I thought he was talking through his 'donkey' and was a certified Moonbat - which it turns out, he is. But there was also something else. When he called Arizona the 'New Tombstone'.
I intermediately thought of Wyatt Earp and his brothers, along with Doc Holiday, and their 'battle' against the corrupt Sheriff, John Behan, who was btw, a Democrat and was in cahoots with the cattle thieving Clantons and 'The Cowboys'. So in one respect Dupnick was right.
He's a modern day version of Sheriff John Behan.
(maybe they're related?)
He did his job poorly and a lot of people are hurting because of it and his response is to blame someone else.
Here some info re the shooter’s family.
[Excerpted from WSJ]
“Father of Shooting Suspect May Issue Statement”
......... “Mr. Smith, who is 70 and has lived in a house across the street since 1972, said he didn’t know the couple’s last name until after Saturday’s rampage. And Mr. Loughner didn’t know his, he said. Still, he said he was probably one of Randy Loughner’s closest acquaintances in the neighborhood.
He said he believes Randy hasn’t worked since Jared was born. Amy had a steady job and Randy raised Jared, he said.
....It was Mr. Smith who told the Loughners what had happened Saturday. They returned from shopping, grocery bags in their peeling white Chevy truck, to find sheriffs’ cars parked in front of the house and deputies stringing up crime-scene tape.
Mr. Smith, who had seen the news on TV, walked up and told them their son was suspected in a mass shooting.
“She almost passed out right there,” Mr. Smith said. “He sat in the road with the tape up and cried.”
