Tucson Is Crying Today

I'm rather astonished that no one has commented on the tragedy that struck in Tucson today. Nineteen people shot by a nutjob, six dead, including a nine-year-old girl. Two bystanders tackled the gunman before he could finish emptying the magazine into the crowd at Congresswoman Gifford's outside town hall meeting. We may be a large city, but we have a small town mentality and this has hit Tucson hard.
 
Bad stuff for sure. No way to prevent so much of this crap and still have a life. I have not heard how the congresswoman is doing.......last I read was no news given out. I am surprised the gunman made it thru the tackle and wait for security....
 
There was no security at the meeting because it was an informal meet and greet outside Safeway on the northwest side of town. She was shot through and through in the head and was responding to questions prior to surgery. Her aide, the top judge in Arizona (friend of Giffords), the nine-year-old girl (born on 9/11 and featured on a website "Faces of Hope"), and three others were killed. Still no word on the suspicious device found at her office.
 
This is incredibly sad not only for Tucson but for the country. I don't know what more to say. Please accept my condolences and I wish everyone injured including the Congresswoman recovers quickly and fully.
 
I've been following it on the news and it is truly sad. Last I heard she was in critical condition and the judge was dead...along with a kid and 4 others. It is nothing less than hideous. This whackjob will not get what he deserves on this earth.
 
So sorry to hear of the news. I have been busy taking care of Amber so have not watched any news to know anything about it.

I hope you all recover from it and I hope we all don't get some knee jerk reactionism from it!

I was sad to hear the news but must admit I have not followed the story closely.

The boys have been sick the last week and I've spent all day with them stuck inside (minus one trip to the movies) and haven't wanted to watch the coverage with them around.

After they went to sleep I headed out to the garage to work on the Trans Am for a while.

I caught a bit of news that the Congress woman had made it out of surgery and the surgeon seemed optimistic.

Too bad someone in that crowd wasn't packing to put a stop to it and give the wacko what he had coming to him before so many innocent people got injured or killed.
 
I've been following it all day. Truly tragic and senseless.

What has really pissed me off all day is the spin and blame being thrown around. It's disgusting.
 
It made the news here in europe of course.
It seemes that politics in the states taking too serious by some people.
IMHO , teaparties are not the way to give people some kind of awarness of whats going on in the political landscape.
Thats all I want to say about it.

My pryers are with all the families who lost their loveones at this incident.
 
Sad to hear about that. There are a lot of people who are irritated about the way our country is being operated and unfortunately, the nut jobs join in the situation and don't know how to control themselves, so this sort of garbage appears.

Sad indeed. Think what a coordinated set of attacks like this could do to us?

Something I've been worry about the last few years, I sure can see something like this happening in the current state we this county in.
I just wish I could find someone to believe in that they could change things unfortunately I think its going to get worse before it gets better.
 
Fanaticism is dangerous no matter what the cause. This guy equated his problems with this one politician, as if someone pounded into his brain such a fact.
