Tragic

And it's not like we didn't think this was bound to happen.

Terrible.


Per Atrios:

on Twitter, DNC Western States Director says source tells him gunman called out names of targets as he shot them.

It doesn't help that "gun violence" is so casually tossed out as glib politics.




UPDATE: MSNBC reporting that Gabrielle Giffords may still be alive, though in very critical condition as she was shot in the head.

...apparently a Federal Judge was also present and was shot as well. Now confirmed per MSNBC, Federal Judge John Roll was shot and killed. Roll had been the recipient of death threats stemming from rulings in various immigration cases.

There have been reports that the gunmen called out names and yelled at various victims. Though that may very well be speculation.

Using guns against unarmed fellow citizens is cruel and unusual punishment no different from capital punishment Ban guns, motherfuckers or suffer the consequences.

You know your religious/political beliefs are crazy when you start asserting your right to kill anyone who disagrees with them.

Terrorism...Right,Left or Teabuggery is still - terrorism. I'm wondering if this Lune(atic) and the other Tea peeps, will go through the same media meatgrinder as the Muslims have, 'cause of a few of their Lunes? .... (rhetorical)

The last post about Muslims risking their lives for brotherhood was so hopeful.
