From Talkingpointsmemo.com:

Though the AP first identified the shooter as Jared Laughner, but later reported the correct spelling of his name is Jared Loughner.

Don't jump on StealthBlue. He's been doing a great job checking up real time news and googling information pertaining to this tragedy for the thread. He didn't blindly assume the photo was accurate.

I've looked at the top stories on google news but the only one mentioning "Jared Loughner" is from the Huffington Post. Let's chill before we start posting pics of the guy maybe.

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.


This is 150% incorrect. As a matter of fact, the congresswoman recently won reelection in a very close campain against a tea party candidate. Her office was one of three democratic congresspeople's to get vandalized after the health care votes, and she was targeted with a CROSSHAIR by sarah palin herself.

[image loading]

Apparently shes been getting death threats for a awhile... looks like a lunatic tea partier snapped. Thats what you get when you start using violent rhetoric in a public forum: some idiot takes you seriously. Especially when the people we're talking about are crazed second amendment wingnuts.

I would advise you guys not to read the comments on yahoo news. A lot of them are actually quite sick and demented. There are so many sick people in the world.

Alleged Shooter Jared Loughner May Have Met Rep. Giffords Previously
Glynnis MacNicol | Jan. 8, 2011, 4:43 PM | 278 | 1

A woman named Caitie Parker has been tweeting that she went to school with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' alleged shooter Jared Loughner and that he had met Giffords previously.

Also," he was a pot head & into rock like Hendrix,The Doors, Anti-Flag. I haven't seen him in person since '07 in a sign language class" and "As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy."

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.


She wasn't and never has been hated by the "local population". She was hated by a fringe group of ignorant extremists.

Please be more careful with your words.


We're talking about Arizona. There's nothing fringe about Tea Party radicals in Arizona.

Shephard Smith reported that a second man had been arrested in connection with the shooting. I can't find that being reported by any organization more credible though. :/
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

In one afternoon, Roll logged more than 200 phone calls. Callers threatened the judge and his family. They posted personal information about Roll online.

"They said, 'We should kill him. He should be dead,' " Gonzales said.


Both Roll and his wife were given a U.S. Marshals Service protection detail at the time. Roll called the month-long protection experience "unnerving and invasive." According to Arizona Central, authorities identified four men believed to be responsible for the threats, but Roll declined to press charges at the recommendation of the Marshals Service.

Thats really interesting.. I'm a psychology minor and while I am nowhere near completed with my degree, I can tell you that the youtube video I just watched has some pretty obvious signs of schizophrenia. The way he constructs his sentences reminds me a lot of a video we watched of a lady with that disorder.

The far left means communist. Why would a communist kill a liberal democrat who supports universal healthcare?

The woman and article mention the fact he smoked pot and liked rock which means that it feels these two things are relevant. Ill need more than a bigot and a small internet blog to believe this.

Maybe because he felt she wasn't far enough to the left? Too early too tell. Just like it's too early to just assume he's a right-wing psycho because of something Palin did months ago. But I suppose it's easier to make the baseless claim that he's a "Tea Party psycho" and take your medicine from "objective" news sources like the Huffington Post, right? Good joke.

Heres something else interesting: the judge who was killed apparently has been getting death threats since 2009: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/08/judge-john-roll-dead-killed_n_806239.html

EDIT: oops, didn't read deeply. He got death threats THEN, it doesnt say anything about getting death threats recently.
