Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down
tkprit writes "What a shame that a Congresswoman makes herself available to her constituents and she and six of her staff were gunned down for the effort. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot, along with members of her staff, for trying to hear the concerns of the people she represents."
CNN reports that at least 12 people were shot by the gunman. According to NPR, "The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s." Update: 01/08 20:07 GMT by S : Other sources are reporting she's still in surgery, and early reports have been amended to list Congresswoman Giffords in critical condition.
Ban murder. That aught to fix things, right?
THL phish sticks
Well, of course she did, she has to update it...
Your naivete is almost endearing but the reality is this: it's insane to think that you are immune from the consequences of a home invasion.
Have you ever thought about visiting the planet Earth at any point?
Newsflash: We Brits left America over three hundred years ago, basically because we couldn't afford it. That's when the United States needed an armed militia. A home invasion is not likely I'm afraid, and you have this thing called the armed forces these days. Difficult to believe, I know.
Guns are not the problem. People are the problem
Amen to this.
Keep the guns. Ban people.
I think you're being confused by the fact that the left just tend to be better read.
To the right, reading a book on politics means some trite homily by Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly.
