Tonight's weird new details: The alleged shooter walked through the crowd and directly to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. "He ran through the crowd and when he got to [Giffords] he just started shooting," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said. ABC News reports
Did he look like <a href="http:\/\/www.thesharkguys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/robertdenirotaxidriver.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>?
So the purported use of marijuana by the shooter is very relevant but the political graphic with the crosshairs isn&#039;t relevant at all? Makes sense b/c everyone gets all crazed with murderous thoughts after getting stoned but fiery rhetoric that calls up the Second Amendment is very relaxing.
Either the banhammer made a rare appearance, or he&#039;s hiding his face in shame. I hope he&#039;s off somewhere hanging his head in shame, as should all those like him who subscribe to the theory &quot;even screwball crazy nutjobs should be part of the well-regulated militia.&quot;
I think we might be able to get to the bottom of this. Crazy young man, access to guns, wound up by his father. Why? The old man wants the kid out of the house so he can turn the basement into a rec room.
You know Frank Luntz, that toupee-wearing genius who has coined loaded phrases for the Republican lexicon, like &quot;government takeover of healthcare,&quot; or &quot;energy exploration&quot;?
We either need to get him to flip, or get our own Language Doctor.
Shooty Sarah, the NRA, and anyone who supports either of them should be tagged as the violent-hearted, dangerous hypocrites they are.
[Full disclosure: I do own guns. And I would happily register them.]
The Right again spins this as a leftist attack, as only leftists would do such a thing: <a href="http://www.redstate.com/" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.redstate.com/">http://www.redstate.com/</a> <i>By the way, as an exit thought, the tea party movement won in November. Winners don&rsquo;t go on shooting sprees.</i>
So while the right-wing tards are trying to paint the deranged shooter as a leftist commie, Sarah Palin must be thanking God that it <i><b> wasn&#039;t</b></i><b></b> a crazy, deranged, leftist commie out looking to draw blood. Assuming of course that she knows what a leftist commie is.
I read somewhere [god I don&#039;t remember where, perhaps here on one of the other Wonkette threads?] that <i> some</i> gun nuts are going around saying that &#039;just because people drown, doesn&#039;t mean we should ban water.&#039;
.....Because water was invented mere centuries ago to kill and injure? I don&#039;t know. I fucking give up.
For a second all I saw in the headline were the words &quot;Gunman&quot; and &quot;Taxi Driver.&quot;

How about when Al Sharpton said we should curb stomp poverty?
If it was surveyor&#039;s symbols, then her &quot;retreat/reload&quot; theme kind of falls apart.
If maybe her catchphrase had been something about &quot;surveying the land for November&quot; I&#039;d buy it....but this not so much.

Wait, what??

Yes, a cool cop! Reminds of the cop in &quot;Matewan&quot; or the one in that Ronald Reagan serial killer movie. Very rare thing.
Detective DashboardBuddha solves the mystery.
His dad dropping him off because he didn&#039;t have his own car...

i wonder, will this be a touchstone event for us?
i&#039;m sure someone else has noted this, but the 9 year old that was killed was born on 9/11.
&#039;If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.&#039;
or at least maudlin fiction that would make people like me shudder and reach for the bottle.
