Ok so my main question is why wasn't there a policeman there? When a congressman visited my High School in upstate New York there was an extra policeman there that day. Meanwhile this is a public meeting in the wide open and the congresswoman was almost hated by the local population.

I still feel like we are missing some details. Was there no struggle as the guy put a gun to each persons head? How can people stand around as he executes a child? Why was security not there? I feel like anytime a political figure goes out in public they should have security.

Crazy.

He didn't shoot everyone deliberately in the head. It seems like he fired somewhat indiscriminately into the crowd before anyone was really able to respond.

The Democrat, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting her first "Congress on Your Corner" event at the Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.

At least five other people, including members of her staff, were hurt. Giffords was transported to University Medical Center in Tucson. Her condition was not immediately known.

Giffords was talking to a couple when the man ran up firing indiscriminately, and then ran off, Michaels said. According to other witnesses, he was tackled by a bystander and taken into custody.

Ahh, maybe you're right. The guy on Fox was saying he put a gun to each persons head.

Lack of security is probably a major issue we'll hear about soon.

But as for the lack of reaction, scratch it up to panic. If the shooter quietly walks up to the congresswoman, take the first shot, then turns to the crowd and begins to spray bullets. Most people instinctively run and duck for cover. They're not going to jump up and try to stop the person with the gun. It's not people idly stand around while a child gets shot. They don't also want to be shot in the process of stopping him.

edit: and yeah, it seems he was quickly tackled down after people saw he was out of bullets.

I'm Not going to make a comment on the reliability of fox news here.

Still I totally agree that there should have been security there.

if that youtube channel is his... those are the ravings of a madman

i am sorry i feel the need to make this comment, but there really is no better place to start.. current gun control very definitely contributed to this, a crazy person just cannot easily get guns in a country where owning guns is illegal
even criminals dont just hand guns to insane people extremists sure, but not actually insane people
Great minds might think alike, but fastest hands rule the day~

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. The security issue is just surprising to me considering my high school had metal detectors/security everyday.

Man I feel literally dirty. Sure go ahead and dispute politics all you want, but you are no hero killing innocent people.

Whatever man, just ridiculous... I hope to god this guy gets what we deem "cruel and unusual punishment" to be illegal. It should be permitted in his case.

You can't really plan for this stuff. You can't plan for a madman to attack anyone at any place at any time. As far as I can tell, there was no perception of threat towards the congresswoman prior to this attack. And if I were the victim under the same circumstances, I wouldn't have asked for protection, in fact I would have rather not had it, as a wall of beefeaters wouldn't really signal "face to face" with her voters. She just happened to be targeted (if indeed she was the main target of this attack) by a crazie.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Also from Tucson, just like the youtube page. And you can tell from his youtube page he liked books a lot, and in the picture he is at a book festival. Still we should be careful before jumping to conclusions

How about you read the thread before you post. That guy shares the shooters name, and apparently the shooters love of words and grammar.

I wouldn't be surprised if the congresswoman's lack of security was due to her desire to try and connect with her constituents. Walking around at a rally with a protective detail gives the feeling that she's very distant, etc.

In retrospect, all political figures, especially those who have received death threats, should always have heightened security.
