Re: Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot in Arizona
The co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party said he is worried about the threats he is receiving, including a remark by a shooting victim made to him at a televised town hall meeting.
Trent Humphries told The Associated Press on Sunday he was surprised when shooting victim James Eric Fuller took a picture of him and said "you're dead." The 63-year-old Fuller was arrested Saturday on disorderly conduct and threat charges and taken for a psychiatric exam. Authorities say he began ranting at the end of ABC News' forum, at one point calling the audience "whores." The show, videotaped at St. Odilia's Catholic Church in Tucson, featured victims, witnesses, emergency responders and some of those hailed as heroes after the Jan. 8 shooting in which six people were killed and 14 injured.

By far the hardest part of everything that happened was not being able to put any order or reason as to what happened. Its extremely frustrating. I think the same thing is going on here, for the victims involved and for us as spectators. At the end of the day the guy who did it was just flat out nuts and you cant control nuts. This has nothing to do with Palin, Obama, Republicans, Democrats or Tea Partiers, but it would be a lot easier to draw closure to the whole thing if it did. If we could say oh well Palin or Obama provoked this guy, okay lets stop them from provoking another person in the future, then things would be easier. Its extremely hard when you know that there is nothing that you can do to prevent what happened to you from happening to you or someone else again. The guy was nuts there is nothing that could have been done differently to prevent this from happening, especially in the political spectrum. |
