ABC covered the story...but no mention of the Tea Party connection

Ahhh, he must have strong democratic ties then ...

Geraldo: “IRONICALLY, he is a hardcore liberal.”

[no-to-illegals]

but no mention of the Tea Party connection.

A local station affiliated with ABC did report Fuller had a TEA party connection this AM. There is no link and they were words, from the anchor only. The anchor was of a local station and affiliated with ABC. May need to keep a heads up on this one....imho

Of course, this threat of violence will receive muted reporting from the MSM.

You can see it in this NY Post article. There is no mention of the actual threatening words the Perp uttered, "Your Dead".

Mental could be anything including an inability to maintain DADT protocol.

Agreed...Page Not Found, No Link in Words. Keeping ones ears open for the words is difficult, with so many outlets.....Hearing does not make my words true (thus my disclaimer). I still advise a heads up though.

[Scanian]

Very strange. I just pulled it up:

“Mental could be anything including an inability to maintain DADT protocol.”

This guy appears to have been disharged before DADT ever went online.

The NY Times' Political Correctness editor must have been off for the weekend, because they reported it!

The New York Times January 15, 2011:

"Ms. Proud said she spoke up to clarify the bill’s language. Trent Humphries, the founder of the Tucson Tea Party, who was sitting one row behind her, rose to speak and suggested that discussion about gun legislation be postponed until after the funerals. He started to say that he had also been affected by the tragedy because a neighbor was a victim.

At that point, Ms. Proud said, Mr. Fuller blurted out to Mr. Humphries, “You’re dead.”

Mr. Fuller then began to “behave in a very odd manner,” she said. “He was making inappropriate comments.”

Ms. Proud said that after the forum ended, she went to one of the police officers providing security at the forum and asked him to file a report about Mr. Fuller’s remark to Mr. Humphries. The officer told her it was being investigated.

About five police officers surrounded Mr. Fuller and escorted him out. As he was leaving, Ms. Proud said, he turned and yelled, “You’re all whores!”

yes, I use the same except mine are in...a...9mm...casing...but at least I have 15+1!

[no-to-illegals]

There has to be a recorded tape of Fuller's words from the meeting. I would hope Fuller's word were loud enough to hear and be captured on the tape. There being so many possibilities or routes the media could go with this, keeps me in defensive posture. I hope more defense by our side is not in order, and there may be (I do not know) a stealth campaign about to begin or already underway to blame Conservatives again.....imho

The assassin probably bought the full metal jacketed ammunition.

More proof that liberalism is a mental disease

We can’t have the truth out now can we? the media has filtered hearing syndrome.

[central_va]

The Tea Party guy was asking for it. /sarc

[RC one]

shot placement is key to any defensive shooting

How's point blank range right in the head for shot placement? 9mm sucks. If that's what you want to carry, go ahead. It wouldn't be my first choice though.

[riverrunner]

The shooting victim dropped right there.

I have yet to have a 45 is better the any thing advocate wiling to take the frist round from a 9mm.

[TBP]

Sheriff Distick is just covering his own butt here. He has no business arresting Fuller after he himself made baseless, libelous accusations that the Tea Party was involved in the shootings. You make accusations like that, you have to expect that someone will want to do them harm.
