Armed hero nearly shot wrong man in Ariz.
Does the Tucson massacre justify tighter Gun Control? Don't be silly. Second-Amendment advocates never look at Mass Shootings that way. For every nut job wreaking mayhem with a semiautomatic weapon, there's a citizen with a firearm who could have stopped him. Look at the 1991 slaughter in Killeen, Texas, where 23 people died in a restaurant while a patron's Handgun, thanks to a dumb law, was left outside in her car. Look at the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, where 32 people died because under the ...

The Tragedy of the Arizona Shooting.
This weekend’s tragic shooting at a Safeway district meeting in which United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was seriously hurt and a dozen more injured and a District Court judge John Roll, a nine-year-old girl born on September 11th, and a congressional aide were killed has left us all stunned. Nick Baumann has an interview with a friend of the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. The friend describes Loughner’s obsession with Gifford as starting when she d...

Dems And GOP Agree: Gun Control Is A Non-Starter In AZ Following Shooting
TUCSON, AZ -- Arizona's answer to the deadly shooting at a constituent event for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) Saturday will likely be more guns at political rallies, not less. That's the word from Democrats and Republicans in this mourning desert city still reeling from this weekend's Mass Shooting that left six dead and 14 injured, including Giffords, who remains in critical condition after being shot in the head. Simply put, local politicians say, Arizona loves guns. And that means that th...

'Loughner was crazy' argument misses the point in the Arizona shootings case
Last Saturday Jared Lee Loughner alleged shot and  killed six people and injured another fourteen at public event hosted by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).  Since that time some have claimed that Loughner behavior was caused, at least in part, by the heated political of the past two years.  Others have essentially argued that Loughner was a "nutjob" or "a crazed Lone Wolf", that society had no control over.  Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck both argued that Lougher was s...

In Arizona case, experts say planning undermines insanity plea
The alleged shooter in Saturday's deadly Tucson massacre may have difficulty making the case for a successful insanity plea, experts said Tuesday. Jared Lee Loughner, 22, who authorities say shot up a gathering held by U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, outside a Supermarket, has been anecdotally regarded as very troubled and perhaps mentally unbalanced because of his ramblings spotted on the Internet and the ways he has been described by acquaintances. But Paul Callan, a criminal def...

Jon Stewart: I Hate Our Toxic 'Political Environment' -- But Who Knows If It Caused AZ Shooting? (VIDEO)
In the wake of the Mass Shooting in Arizona over the weekend that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords hospitalized in critical condition, Jon Stewart last night traded quick quips for a warning: "I would love to say that we've got a great show for you tonight; not sure that's the case." "How do you make sense of these types of senseless situations?" Stewart asked. Both sides of the political aisle are trying to exonerate themselves from blame, or implicate the other side, he said.

Dr. Harold Koplewicz: Arizona Shooting: Treating Mental Illness Before it Kills
In the Mass Shooting in Arizona Saturday there were heroes who prevented even more bloodshed. We need heroes to intervene before lives are lost. The three people who wrestled Jared Loughner to the ground and disarmed him outside a Supermarket in Tucson are being hailed as heroes, and rightly so. They prevented further loss of life at the hands of the 22-year-old, who had, in little more than an instant, killed six people and wounded more than a dozen others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords....

Is Sheriff Dupnik Distracting Public From Looking at His Contacts With Killer?
“I’d like to make one additional point on Sheriff Dupnik. I think we’re missing the point when we’re talking about his political agenda. This man and this suspect has had previous contact with the sheriff’s office. It looks to me, we don’t have many details on this, but it looks as though he slipped between the cracks. I think what we really need to look into is what happened when he had previous contact with the sheriff’s office with their negligence he...

Arizona Republics SCATHING smackdown of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik
Send Sheriff Clarence Dupnik a POSTCARD, not a letter or email, telling him what you think of his job performance. This is one of the most direct and scathing smackdowns I’ve ever seen a newspaper hand an elected official. It’s essentially a bare-bottomed spanking, which Clarence Dupnik may or may not actually enjoy. The Arizona Republic is much more charitable towards this man than we’ve been.  In the article, the paper gives Dupnik a pass for anything he did the day Jar...

Maxim Mag Cover Shocker
Maxim, the bawdy men’s magazine, isn’t exactly known for the modesty of its cover subjects. But at least one observer says that the February issue featuring "Perfect Couples" star Olivia Munn wearing little more than a pair of verrrry transparent lace panties is going a bit too far. “It’s disgusting,” Dan Gainor, Vice President of Business & Culture at the Media Research Center, tells FOX411.“Maxim has moved their magazine from tawdry to full-on pornograph...

Holder calls shootings unspeakably tragic
Holder said the violence at a Tucson, Ariz., event Saturday serves as a reminder that the world has yet to run its course of cruelty. But he says the continuing threats against officials are not as strong as the forces working for tolerance and peace. U.S. District Judge John Roll was killed and U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, remains in critical condition in Tucson. Doctors are optimistic about her recovery, although she was shot through the head. Holder spoke in the Justice ...

Almost 60 percent of the public believes that heated political Rhetoric has nothing to do with an Arizona Shooting Spree that gravely wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) and killed a Federal Judge.

Lone nuts and convenient definitions of "terrorism"
"Columbine" author Dave Cullen wrote yesterday that most media figures compulsively -- and incorrectly -- assign all killers to one of two binaries: Crazy or political. Right-wing commentators do the same thing, for the most part, though they tend to say killers are either crazy or Terrorists. And while they'll usually freely admit that Tim McVeigh counted as a terrorist, for the most part they reserve that term for Muslims who kill. There is, for example, Charles Krauthammer's classic column on...

Gentlemen, You Cant Blog Here, This is the War Room!
Jim Geraghty spots this howler: “I understand the idea that, even if Loughner had no idea who Sharron Angle is and even if he never saw Palin’s infamous cross-hairs map, it still makes sense to encourage political leaders to ditch violent Rhetoric,” writes Salon news editor Steve Kornacki at the site’s War Room blog. The first step in encouraging political leaders to ditch violent rhetoric? Stop calling your blog the WAR ROOM. “Oh, the sweet sweet irony…” Bryan Pr

Giffords Proud to Be Arizona's First Jewish Congresswoman
WASHINGTON -- Her family name doesn't "sound Jewish," but Gabrielle Giffords was proud of the identity her grandfather tried to hide years ago when he changed it from Hornstein to avoid the wrath of anti-Semites. It remains unknown what motivated suspect Jared Loughner's alleged Assassination attempt that left six dead and Gifford "holding her own" in a critical care unit at a Tucson, Ariz., Hospital. But even if Anti-Semitism is found to have played a role, those who know the lawmaker say she w...
