A few thoughts.

Already all the leftist trolls are all over the news articles commenting that it's the tea party's fault, Sarah Palin is to blame, GOP, etc. Mostly because they're too damn stupid to know history, and that almost every assassin/terrorist in American history to go after politicians has been either left wing or anarchist.

Rep Boehner is obviously a politician, in his speech after the fact he clearly says how horrible it is to attack elected officials, but never points out it doesn't matter who you are, it's horrible to be attacked like this.

Apparently someone with a CCW returned fire and distracted the assassin long enough for someone in the crowd to tackle him to the ground. At no point in any of the current news stories is any mention of police or security at the event doing anything or even being there. I admit this part may be subject to change as is the rest of it.

All killers of politicians get to use all three of their names, apparently he joins the ranks:

Jared LEE Laughner

I get why someone would seek to kill someone who has done something to anger them PERSONALLY, like rape their sister or kill their father, etc...

What I don't get is this kind of murder - what made him SNAP? If it was a pure political thing, he would have shot just politicians, but he didn't - he shot a little girl and anybody else that was near. None of us here understand this kind of thinking. What are the odds this murderer spent any amount of time as a teenager on antidepressants? Like the Columbine murderers and so many other young men who have done this kind of thing...

A 9 year old girl-talk about an innocent bystander !!!

yeah where did you hear that?

I can't find it anywhere on MSN or CNN so it probably happened.

House Speaker John Boehner said he was "horrified" by the shooting.
"An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve," he said. "Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society."


I really don't like that bold part. And the second ammendment is a standing threat of violence against tyranny.
