The worst of it, is an innocent man (I assume) is dead for no apparent reason
For no known reason would be more appropriate at this juncture. You can't make any assumptions in a murder investigation.
Thanks for the info.
But you repeat yourself.
So sad. Condolences to his family.
This is horrible. Condolences to the family. I am so sorry (compare our response to what would be going on at DU if one of ours was killed...)
Who would benefit the most from a Super Delegate of Hillary Clinton being murdered? How about Obama? Just wondering...
My sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Gwatney.
I've watched enough Colombo episodes to know that something like that is done to establish an alibi.
Wonder all you want. That was a really stupid comment.
I realize it was only your second comment ever since joining FR a few months ago, but it was still really stupid.
Stupidcide.

Johnson was also involved in an incident early Wednesday morning at Target in Conway. A Target employee tells us Johnson worked there and was fired earlier Wednesday morning. According to a Conway Police report, a Target manager informed police that Johnson wrote some graffiti on a wall inside the store on 501 Elsinger Blvd. The manager stated Johnson was no longer an employee at Target and was not allowed access to the property.
**If the find books by Rush Limbaugh and Hannity at his home much hay will be made of it.**
As of this moment, nothing has been made of “Political Affiliation” of the PERP ... If he was GOP, that would have been HEADLINE within 3 hours.
They say that if you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything. I would like to make the following statement:
I don’t understand how this makes it a political act. He apparently had threatened an official of the nearby American Baptist Union just before shooting Gwatney. I think he was probably a paranoid schizophrenic who became violent when he was fired that morning and wanted to get a high-profile target in order to express his anger.
Someone on another FR thread found an account of a person of the same name who had been in a work-related accident some years ago which resulted in severe head injuries, among other things. I wonder if this was the same man.
When former Little Rock UPI statehouse bureau reporter was killed by a headshot from *A sniper* during her drive home on the North Little rock interstate in 1979, a few months after the reported rape of Juanita Danielak Broadderick in a Little Rock hotel room by Bill Clinton, who at that time was the Arkansas Attorney General. Clinton had just been elected governor of Arkansas when Danielak was shot in the head through her driver-side car window by the *sniper* who used a large-caliber magnum handgun of the same type and using the same ammunition as the Arkansas Highway Patrol used at that time. Though there were other reported shootings that followed, different weapons were used, and noone else was killed by, though there were some minor injuries.
Initial police investigation into previous death threats against Danielak came to a halt after new Governor Clinton publicly stated that a random shooter had been responsible, and within a week of that statement, that was the direction supervisors ordered the investigators to pursue. No one has ever been charged or convicted in either the murder or the other shootings.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark.(AP)- United Press International reporter Judy Danielak, shot in the head while driving on a highway, died today at a hospital, police said……… Police, meantime said they had decided she was shot by somebody "shooting at traffic," but not deliberately out to hit her. "It's got to be an indiscriminate shooting,"Sgt Walter Miles of the North Little Rock police said. "It looks like it was just a person- whether he was on drugs or just mean- shooting at traffic and the unlucky shot just hit her……Mrs Danielak was a journalism student at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She was hired by the UPI in mid-January to help cover the current session of the Arkansas Legislature……."
Police seek motive in shooting of Arkansas Democratic leader
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Police on Thursday sought to uncover what led a gunman to burst into the headquarters of the Arkansas Democratic Party and kill the chairman, a top ally of Bill and Hillary Clinton, US media said.
Bill Gwatney, 48, was shot multiple times in the upper body and died shortly afterward at the hospital, police said.
His assailant, 50-year-old Tim Johnson, was fatally shot after a police chase into a neighboring county.
He had no criminal record and had reportedly been fired earlier that morning from his job at a Target store, but it was unclear if or how he knew Gwatney, according to local news reports.
“Was he coming out in support of Obie Hussein?”
IIRC, he was a clinton super delegate who still supported clinton.
My guess is the shooter was a barry hussein minion trying to get the point across that resistance is futile.
