Rep. Gabby Giffords survived a shot to the head today at a safeway in Tucson. A federal judge was also shot and killed, along with at least five others, with at least a dozen injuries.

I would at least like to know why he was shot.

[Cascade 741]

You mean 'she' pheo? : P

also this is horrible, and a mindless waste of 6 lifes. It's good to hear that Ms Giffords is recovering though.

[pheonix561 2080]

There were men that were shot too Cascade GOSH

I heard about this. It's pretty terrible.

They still don't know his motive, right?

[pheonix561 2080]

LL why would someone want to hurt Arizona's government officials

[Max 10]

Because they're from Arizona.

Not sure why he targeted this particular woman, but he was very anti-government, and was violently against the fed.

It seems he was also fairly mentally unstable to begin with.

It wasn't just her, he shot 7+ people. Also, source request for the anti-government part.

I had heard on the radio that he was a loner, but not known to be unstable.

don't have it immediately, as I'm on my phone, but it was on his youtube page, a bunch of videos about wanting to bring down the fed.

And yes, he shot a lot of others, but she was his main target and reason for being there.

[Skippy 82]

People are bullshitting and calling it "an attack on humanity" or "an attack on America". But it was a bullet attack on like 6 or 7 people.

It sucks that the 6? people that died aren't as important as the one person who didn't die.

The six, with the exception of the judge were unknown people for the most part. You don't make the news with the murders of people who don't have big names, you make news with the names of politicians who get shot.

However, expect the nine year old girls face around, the anti gun campaign has started using this case as an avenue to another AWB or magazine ban.

I hate McCarthy. With a passion. They will take my guns from my cold, dead hands.

[Skippy 82]

Well, I actually do own one, four, actually, and It's going to be a pain in my ass if they ram a magazine ban through.
