AboveLegit Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Obama releases statement:This morning, in an unspeakable tragedy, a number of Americans were shot in Tucson, Arizona, at a constituent meeting with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. And while we are continuing to receive information, we know that some have passed away, and that Representative Giffords is gravely wounded. We do not yet have all the answers. What we do know is that such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society. I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping Representative Giffords, the victims of this tragedy, and their families in our prayers.http://govne.ws/item/Statement-by-the-President-300# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 While placing all of the blame on Palin is silly, that graphic was horrible judgment. Obviously she didn't create it, but it was on her website. There are enough nut jobs out there who will take something like that literally, as we may have unfortunately learned today. Perhaps it's just coincidence, perhaps it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 lol no... no she can't. She's already going to have some explaining to do, as a public political figure you certainly can't "go about it however you please". Don't be so ignorant. Yes, she can because this is America. She doesn't have to explain herself at all lol. Its not like she ordered a hit out on this woman. It was a tactic used to get a message across to voters. Obviously now she'll have to use something different because its such a touchy subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so incredibly feeble minded. Not worth my time or effort to get you to understand, because you're already convinced that you're right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 No politician, regardless of what they do, deserves something like this. This guy who shot her needs to be immediately tried and if convicted then the death penalty applied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogi Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hopefully she'll be fine. RIP to the victims. The thing about the 9 year old girl dying makes me absolutely sick. I hope this guy gets executed ASAP, I don't care if he's insane or not. I think it's horrible that people are linking Sarah Palin to this. This guy was obviously mentally ill and to use this horrific tragedy to promote a political purpose is downright disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I haven't read many articles about the shooting yet, but I know I saw the map with targets a while ago, and there was a lot of complaining about them. I don't think the targets had everything to do with the shooting or even a lot, but I just think that some people out there that see symbols like that will make poor decisions. It would have been a much wiser decision to color coordinate the areas in question instead of putting a target on the places. It's just a real bad story, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7046bo92a4 to say that Sarah Palin's map giving 'targets' had no role is a bunch of bull[expletive], too. she knows that if she puts something up like that, the deranged tea baggers will do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htown11 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm233/lebronze23/hernandez-giffords.jpg Daniel Hernandez had only been Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' intern for five days, and on Saturday, he may have saved her life. The University of Arizona junior was standing 30 feet away from the Democratic congresswoman when she was shot in the head at a meet-and-greet event in her district, and he immediately rushed to her side. As everyone on hand waited for emergency medical support to arrive, Hernandez held Giffords's head in his lap and applied pressure to her wound. At the same time, Hernandez advised others on providing help for the other 20 others injured and killed in the attack—and that quick thinking has led many to label him a hero in Saturday's horrific event. "When I heard gunshots, my first instinct was to head toward the congresswoman to make sure that she was okay," Hernandez said in an interview with ABC's Christine Amanpour Sunday. "Once I saw that she was down, and there were more than one victim, I went ahead and started doing the limited triage that I could with what I had." Hernandez, who is 20, told ABC that he simply "shut off all emotion." "I knew I wouldn't be good to anyone if I had a breakdown," he recalled. He noted that he went to help because he had "limited experience in triage and training." He lifted up Giffords' head, because he feared she might choke on her own blood, and used smocks from the grocery store's meat department as a makeshift bandages for her and other victims. Giffords, he says, was alert, but couldn't talk. "'Just grab my hand to let me know that you're okay,'" he recalls telling the injured lawmaker. According to Hernandez, she squeezed his hand, and he didn't let go, riding with her in the ambulance to the hospital, where she was rushed into emergency surgery. "It was probably not the best idea to run toward the gunshots," he told the Arizona Republic. "But people needed help." http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110109/ts_yblog_theticket/meet-daniel-hernandez-the-intern-who-likely-saved-gabrielle-giffords-life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Now he's gonna plead insane and get out after 16 years. I kinda doubt it since he shot a US Representative in the head, and killed a 9 year old and federal judge. They will do everything in their power to get this crazy bastard the lethal injection.
