lawrocket 3 #2 January 16, 2011 This is exactly the sort of thing the blame game leads to. So Fuller wants to kill a Tea Partier, then additional retribution. Meanwhile, the lack of any facts suggesting Tea Party involvement is glaring. It's been a week, and still nothing coming out. Meanwhile, there is a sheriff out there who decided without any factual basis whatsoever that the Congreesswoman was the victim of tea party vitriol. How many people has this sheriff put away because of factless allegations? A cop like that scares the hell out of me. My wife is hotter than your wife.

Is it possible the sheriff, with his remarks has given a defense attorney some leverage? Primarily, his remarks that Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh are somewhat responsible for this shooters mind set. And then with news coming out that the sheriffs department was aware of the shooters past but failed to act in the interest of the public as well?

lawrocket 3 #4 January 17, 2011 I'd not necessarily say so if the guy is as cuckoo as he seems. However, a sheriff deliberately targeting a group of people for political attack without evidence to support it is, to me, troublesome. What is it with Arizona sheriffs? First Arpaio and now this?

lawrocket 3 #16 January 18, 2011 So you're saying the Barringer impact would have been better about 50k years later? Personally, I've noticed that mass shootings are increasing with the increase in C02. Firearms massacres by lone gunmen were unheard of before reliable temperature readings became available. Since the AGW, these shootings have increrased. I'm going to check Joe Romm's blog to see whether he agrees that AGW is to blame for an increase in mass shootings... (How many Mexican mayors were executed before AGW compared to now? Coincidence???) My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
