I'm just throwing it out there: perhaps the gunman was Mexican.
I kinda hope not. What a shitstorm that would be....

Jared Laughner, the man who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), was described by eyewitnesses as a young white man who looked like a "fringe character."
He must be an inter-dimensional shifter.

You heard it here first folks. :rolleyes:

I don't know anything about guns but I suspect some sort of automatic weapon fired into a crowd of people at close range so most shots were likely to have hit someone .He allegedly fired 20-30 rounds and hit "a number of people," including a child then attempted to flee after running out of ammunition and was tackled by one of Giffords' staffers.
 
Ashamed to be an American and living in a country that tolerates such easy, open access to mass murder devices. "Hey Jimmy Bob, let's head down to the county fair...hee hee there's a gun show today!" This "perp" is a domestic terrorist and I hope the entire force of the justice system will move against him and any organizations he affiliated with.

Representative Democracy is such a grand political system. Thank you Founding Fathers.

18 people shot. 6 have died thus far.

So, if Giffords dies, this will make her the second member of congress to die in service after Leo Ryan, right?

Pretty sure there was a state representative that was shot and killed after she voted that taxpayers had to fund the new stadium for the D-Backs. I recollect seeing it on Real Sports some years ago.

He reportedly had a Glock pistol. I don't know the model or the caliber. But whether a 9mm, 10mm, .40 or .45 cal, it was likely a standard semi-automatic pistol - not one of their machine pistols (which are unavailable in the U.S. to civilians). One report claims he had an extended magazine, which if true, would mean that the estimate of 30 rounds +/- being fired would be entirely possible.
 
Judge John McCarthy Roll was one of those killed, Obama just made a live statement.


He was only 22? Seems awfully young to be a political extremist. :dunno:

Young and impressionable. Probably others involved, wasn't someone else also arrested?

Who the hell is this Jared Loughner? He's just a kid for God's sake. Is he a weak-headed follower of Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest?

The shooting comes amid a highly charged political environment that has seen several dangerous threats against lawmakers but nothing that reached the point of actual violence.

A San Francisco man upset with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's support of health care reform pleaded guilty to threatening the Democratic congresswoman and her family, calling her directly on March 25 and threatening to destroy her Northern California home if she voted for health care reform.

In July, a California man known for his anger over left-leaning politics engaged in a shootout with highway patrol officers after planning an attack on the ACLU and another nonprofit group. The man said he wanted to "start a revolution" by killing people at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation.

This is a scary thing.
