Default Arizona Congresswoman asassinated

This hust came across the news as I was watching.


Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot and killed while greeting constituents outside a grocery store in Tucson Arizona today. According to reports, a lone gunman described at this point as being in his late teens or early 20's ran up to the congresswoman as she was talking to a couple and without warning shot her in the head. This is all I know so far. Incredibly sad and disturbinbg news.



EDIT: Just found out the congresswoman is, according to reports, still alive in very critical conditon. My apologies

Just heard. This is horrifying.

I suspect that very soon we're going to find out the name/motives behind the attacker.

Ugh... she's not gonna be able to live much of a life after being shot in the head. This is awful, unprevoked crimes scare me more than any others

This was up on Sarah Palin's website until just this past hour. One of the three Arizona crosshairs stands for Giffords' Tucson district.

It terrifies me that people as right wing as Sarah Palin have so much power. Granted, left wingers don't have the "best" record either. How about a nice middle of the road leader who isn't out killing bears and outlawing anything that doesn't fit in with their skewed personal opinions? To be honest with you, I'd be concerned if she even served me a Veggie Burger at a Greasy Spoon Cafe...

I don't feel like I live in America anymore. I feel sad, and I feel sick.

I doubt the motives will be very surprising.

I believe this will definitely come back to haunt Sarah Palin as she pursues the presidency.

I know youre from the SF area. I think this might be the first time something like this has happened since that congressman from SF was killed in Jonestown in 1978. Not sure though.

Supposedly the gunman was a far extreme leftist.... I don't know.

But that being said, Sarah Palin is a tard!
