The suspect in Saturday’s shooting rampage in which a U.S. congresswoman was critically wounded was unstable and had been known to make death threats in the past, the local sheriff said.

Now you know why he wasn’t prosecuted.
Being sent in for psych eval for any one of those death threats he communicated would likely have made his gun purchase impossible.
Dupnik has that to answer for, it’s not all just playing nice for a coworker in county government. He had a dangerous, mentally ill man on his hands and did worse than nothing; his office appears to have actually discouraged action on the part of those calling in out of alarm over Loughner’s behavior in the months prior to his shooting spree.
But, can Dupenik and his smarter brother, Rosco P. Coltrane, bring in those Duke boys?
I hope with all my heart that you’re right, Travis McGee.
“Dupnik is acting very suspiciously.
Is he just covering up for himself?
Or is he covering up for others?
Or both?”
Good point - I suspect that he has a MASSIVE file on this nutcase, and is scared to the death that he might have to cough it up.

Gotcha Sheriff Clarence “Jackas*” Dupnik

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 Sheriff’s 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.
Dumbnik is to busy blaming others for his f-up that he verifies what was only a rumor, STUPID GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE BONE.

“Yet he didn’t lift a finger to protect her. It’s almost as if he wanted this shooting”
Considering her views on border/illegal alien issues, he probably hated her guts!
He’s in a leftist haven.
He’ll be re-elected.
Much better to have a mass murder (ala 9/11) than to “discriminate” against someone with an “alternate lifestyle” or religion.
Was that the decision of the sheriff or the district attorney?
Agreed??
Here in NC the Sheriff has to personally sign off on individual handgun permits. This partisan hack Dupnik failed miserably at his job and should be recalled. I would feel the same way if he were a Republican. I didn’t think it was possible but the left has really reached a new low with all of this. It is surreal.
Dupnik strikes me as one of those typical politicians who will say anything to protect and glorify himself.
