Congresswoman Gabby Giffords Shot in Head

[Inertina]

holy shit!

A family friends tells FOX 11 News Rep. Giffords woke up from anesthesia & spoke to people in her room & recognized her husband Mark Kelly.

modern medicine; fuck yeah.

That is good news.

Thus far, yeah, but it's too soon to be sure. They have to watch for brain swelling and blood clots, and even then you never know how an injury to the brain can effect someone. We'd do well to remember the case of Phineas Gage. Brain injuries can change people.

[Mushet]

Quick, let's jump to conclusions with zero information

Hathradic States did it for some reason

[Farnhamia]

Ofcourse not! But it was reckless of her support team not to have security in place. Having Obama appear in public without security is reckless as well, but ofcourse it would not be Obamas fault if something bad happend. She should have had a security team.

Forgive my lack of knowledge...

But when was the last time a congressman got murdered by a crazed gunman?

Because uh... I don't recall that happening recently.

The last one I remember was the Congressman killed in Jonestown, decades ago.

@Militsia: Perhaps you should think before posting and consider your words more carefully, because that is how I read your post.

I wonder if she'll ever need a transplant for something?

Yeah, I don't like her now. Hope she dies. Unless she fixes this problem.

Say huh, hot lady?

[Terraius]

Suspect was identified as a Liberal left-wing radical BAHAHAHA Take that Tea party conspiracy theorists.

In all seriousness laus Deo that she survived, thank the almighty for our vast knowledge of modern medicine.

And we have the opening membership roster for the NSG Jared Lee Loughner Fan Club...

[Wikipedia and Universe]

I thought she died, but apparently not.

A surgeon treating Giffords has commented that he is optimistic about her chance for recovery.^[6]

Still, HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Since Loughner is identified as a dirty commie liberal instead of a Patriotic Real American, we can now commence indicting liberals as a whole and declare that this was a mass liberal conspiracy to purge their ranks of Blue Dogs.

[Terraius]

I think its fair to say I called it, from what investigators and former classmates are saying the guy was off his wagon and obsessed with conspiracy theories and what not.

My next question is why this guy wasnt in a mental hospital considering he's been in the system twice for other crimes and was recorded as being a nut. >: (

"He had posted on his Myspace page at some point a photograph of a United States history textbook, on top of which he had placed a handgun. He prepared a series of Internet videos filled with rambling statements on topics including the gold standard, mind control and SWAT teams." (NY Times)

Pretty the standard definition of a Liberal left-wing radical, yep. Or rather a seriously disturbed young man.

Not really, most Liberals tend to be pro-government, this guy was more of a Neo anarchist with his talks about conspiracy and brain washing.

Thats how he was described, honestly its moot since I was just being satirical, and as I said above he would more classify as a neo anarchist.

[Terraius]

And this guy was making videos with handguns over textbooks talking about the ebil government. I mean seriously, why are these people allowed to remain in society?!

[The Rich Port]

Unless she fixes this problem.

Ooh... Well, is that really her fault? She's just one Democrat Congresslady v. the state that passed the "Get The Taco Makers The Fuck Out" Act. I heard she opposed it.

I agree Terraius is off... But you don't seem to agree with yourself. Does your theorem apply only where Muslims are involved?

RINOs -- what are you going to do?

It's called sarcasm.

[Ta suil]

soooooo i think i figured him out, he's a libertarian anarchist. i.e. nothing that is not specifically given as a right or power to the government, is unconstitutional.(unaltered constitution with 10 original amendments) therefore no schools, no police, no money other than gold, no judges other than supreme and appellate courts, and so on. the thing about grammar seems a little odd other than he's possibly asserting that the original intent of the constitution is being subverted by changing the way it is read, (aka not strictly adhering to its original intent) but thats the best i can figure. regardless this is an obviously disturbed individual

Ah, he's one of those guys.... okay, both parties in this are crap.

Oops, I meant DINOs, my bad

Saurisia?

Saurisia?

No, not quite the same thing, close but no

[Ta suil]

Who cares? He does not reflect the views of all Liberals. However, the willingness of people to jump to conclusions for their own idiotic political reasons has diminished my faith in humanity that much more. By idiotic, I mean opinions that subvert human life to an agenda of some kind. I concur with the last part.

so... umm.. 1st amendment only applies to certain people, and not others? what parts of freedom of speech and press do you not understand? (and no, im not defending him, im questioning the premise of you ideas of freedom).

Did you watch his videos? His views are not "left-wing".

I will concede there is a point in extremism where crazy becomes a little ambiguous, with the whole federal reserve conspiracy leading up to "Jews control the world", but the point is that the killing was politically motivated at least in part, and the atmosphere of hatred has come mainly from the right.
