@isale - sorry jare, I've been trying to do some work ni jo. back now for a bit of more Palin rant The same Palin quotes Regan in saying that society shouldn't be blamed for the actions of a crazy person would happily castigate an entire religion and its adherents (all several billion of them) over the actions of a handful of crazies. Yes Yes, I read HuffPo. When Obama says lets "listen to our enemies" and then soon after some junkie ragtag bunch of somali pirates capture an american ship off the coasts of east africa, these retards somehow see "cause and effect". It's because the president is weak, the extremists can tell we're weak, etc etc. But now they're looking for evidence. |

Its sad that happened to a Conresswoman. But in politics you have to tone down the rhetoric and hate words. Not everyone in the country has the ability to discern properly. An argument between two Politicians who end up hugging themselves after the debate might have caused serious war somewhere by their supporters who are not so discerning. Personally i think the Tea party is going over and even the Republicans try to dissociate from them. savanaha: Look at what she said about being on the crosshairs and compare it to what has happened. |

dayokanu: In my opinion Sarah Palin and many of the Tea Party republicans have all lost sight of the debate in fairness idea. They put on this big show where, they don't even shake hands with their opponents. They practice their message of hate is. What has happened to Giffords will not affect Palin and other hate mongers like her because they will all still tune in to Faux circus news where reporting the truth is an option that is often opted out of. |

@topic, BREAKING NEWS - LEFTIST ACTIVISTS CALL FOR BOYCOTT OF TARGET STORES. In what has become another twist to the Tuscon tragedy, a group of DNC Activists who call themselves Liberals for the Restoration of Toning Down the Rhetoric (LRTDR), have now called for a National Boycott of the popular chain store "TARGET". Speaking through their secretary of media affairs, Mr Baby~Fart, LRTDR said it is unconscionable that any civilized people, group or entity be allowed to use that word in a free society. According to Mr Baby~Fart, the word "Target" reminds people of the tragedy in Tuscon and could inspire people who may or may not have been inside a Target Store to commit unprecedented attrocities. Furthermore, the Group insisted that TARGET must be held responsible for any act of cruelty on animals, especially dogs. According to Mr Baby~Fart, Target Stores' mascot is a dog with a bullseye clearly drawn on the the left eye. This is no doubt a ploy and a secretly coded message to trigger-happy Tea Partiers to turn these beloved animals into moving targets. Asked if there is any proof or evidence to support these assertions, Mr Baby~Fart retorted that proofs are only a means of filibuster by the right-wing conspirators. "Who needs proof in the face of such a serious charge? What matters is not proof but the seriousness of the accusation!"

fstranger1: This statement reminds me of Pastor Niemoller's poem with a twist: First they shot the Jew and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they shot a little white girl and I did not speak out because I was not a little white girl. Then they shot the white liberal judge and I did not speak out because I was not a white liberal judge. Then they shot the black person in the wrong place at the right time and there was no one left to speak out for the black person in the wrong person at the right time. |

Hehehehe. So you are a "Mr"? Mr. Baby Fart. Well, I don't know if I can hang with you now, since you are one of the NL boys and not a "Miss" like me. No Homo. There just is a level of craziness amongst the NL boys not seen in the general population. (I'm not singling out anyone. So don't get defensive. You know you all fight like it's the middle ages.) Not that there aren't the girl nuts too, but they inhabit a section I rarely frequent. Watch them curse out their mothers in the more "family-friendly" sections. The Irony. You see, I choose to stay mainly in the Politics section. Blame my background for that. Why couldn't I have learned something useful like making cute earrings or doing hair - you know - something really worthwhile that actually benefits society. Not reading about Trotsky Tolstoy Machiavelli and all them dead European philosophers, damn it! I kid I jest. Well not about the wasting my time studying (mostly American)Politics part. I could have been a teacher or a businesswoman. Never too late to change careers. As far as I can see, the violence at the moment is unidirectional. But then again I'm a leftist troll schooled by Trotsky himself. hehehe You see no correlation, that's fine. Me I see it as though the last call the guy made on his cell phone was a collect call to wasilla. Only my point of view ni o. All right. I see where you stand. I could never be a Republican supporter at all. But I've watched their politics long enough to be weary of the Democrats as well. I tend to support individuals who demonstrate a backbone. Sorry, your Obama is full of it! No kill me ooo! Hey! I'll give you one on the other side. Palin is an easy one, but she's one on my mind right now. The fake intellectual serious look with the glasses, and that shrill shrieking voice. Oh, gag her! P.S. I'm going back to calling you "Fatty." Unless you're secretly a girl, what do you care. |

I am firm in my undertakings, I dont edit and so far I am not convinced that an apology is warranted. Anyway, have a wonderful and enjoyable Ju'muah PS: Being of the female gender, going by culture and religion, it is you who should be apologizing to me. |
Re: Usa Congresswoman Shot; Federal Judge Killed; 5 More Dead by isalegan2: 3:19pm On Jan 14, 2011 |
fstranger1: I am not apologizing to you or any one. I'm not going to Jumah. You just jump to conclusions all the time. Anyway, I'm removing my info. And you are going too far. You do whatever you want. By the time you change your mind, I mignt not be so forgiving. What do I have to apologize for? If I offended you, I removed it You attack me relentlessly. Read the last exchange in this very thread. Unwarranted attacks. All the time. Half a dozen times at least you've done that. Find one time I lost my temper. Do whatever you want. But don't bother to reply if you're going to throw more insults my way. |

Tayo thanks for the good laugh this morning. I hope the humor & sarcasm is not entirely lost on those who need it most. Isalegan, you're a very interesting character. lol. isale_gan2:Lol. I for one could've certainly patronized your hair-making skills. All right. I see where you stand. I could never be a Republican supporter at all. But I've watched their politics long enough to be weary of the Democrats as well. I tend to support individuals who demonstrate a backbone.On that I am with you. I'm not down with the Hillary Clinton's political views . . . but what she has shown me in her tenure as secretary of state has really earned my respect. |

News for the past few days is that the congresswoman is responding and improving as well as as can be expected in a head/brain injury case. Below are excerpts of two 5-page articles. Good read. Sheds light on police and medical personnel that responded to incident. It's a good place to end my news updates. Anyone else can can keep it going. Hey, Tpia! From Bloody Scene to E.R., Life-Saving Choices in Tucson By DENISE GRADY and JENNIFER MEDINA Published: January 14, 2011 New York Times “Lots of people were laying on the ground,” said Mr. Compagno, from Fire Station 30 the in Northwest Fire/Rescue District of Tucson. “The congresswoman, I could tell that she was still alive. People were giving a little girl CPR. My mind went away. I started counting, and then I thought, ‘What am I counting, injured or dead?’ ” There were 19 victims. Mr. Compagno’s job was triage: to assess the severity of injuries and label victims so that ambulance crews would know whom to tend to first. He realized instantly that there was no time to write labels. Ambulances and fire engines were roaring up. The victims dropped where they stood, forming a row 20 or 30 feet long. Mr. Compagno could see quickly that five were dead, seven were “immediates,” needing help right away, and the rest could wait. The child receiving CPR was not responding, but Mr. Compagno was not about to write her off. “The little girl, I counted her as an immediate,” he said. Instead of using labels, he simply directed each rescue team to a victim. The goal was to stabilize them and get them to the hospital as quickly as possible, because people with severe gunshot wounds need trauma surgeons. The first two patients were ready to go even before the helicopters landed: Nine-year-old Christina-Taylor Green, who had been receiving CPR, and Ms. Giffords were loaded into ambulances. Ten patients were sent to the trauma center at the University of Arizona medical center. The first to arrive was Christina — still getting CPR, still not responding. By normal standards, a gunshot victim who is unresponsive after 15 minutes of CPR has almost no hope of surviving and can be declared dead. Christina had already received 20 or 25 minutes, according to a report radioed in. “This was a 9-year-old girl,” said Dr. Randall S. Friese, 46, a trauma surgeon. “Even though she had CPR beyond our guidelines, I decided to be aggressive.” Dr. Friese said he could not be certain the radio report was correct. But he could not afford the minutes it would take to verify it. “You decide, and you do,” he said. “It’s a personal decision, and I decided to be aggressive, just because she was 9.” He tried a desperate last-ditch maneuver. Within about two minutes, he had cut open her chest, inserted a tube to fill her heart with blood and massaged the heart with his hand to try to start it beating again. “I had her heart in my hand,” Dr. Friese said. “We filled it with blood. It still didn’t want to beat. So, it was over. We’re finished.” At that moment, a resident stepped in to tell him a second patient had arrived, assigned to Trauma Room 5: Ms. Giffords. It was the first time Dr. Friese had heard that she was among the victims. He told the resident assisting him to fill Christina’s heart and try once more to make it start beating again. By the time he reached Room 5, the resident had tried, and failed. Christina was gone. The team in Room 5 had already begun assessing Ms. Giffords when Dr. Friese arrived. “I walked in and held her left hand, held it in both of my hands, and I thought to myself, ‘I need to communicate with her,’ ” he said. “I was uncertain if she would hear me, that she would process my words. It turned out later that she probably did. That was my reward. I leaned in close to her, and I said, ‘Ms. Giffords, you are in a hospital. We are going to take care of you.’ ” He expected no response. Next, he asked her to squeeze his hand. She did. A few moments later he asked her again, and again she complied. It was cause for hope. But when he tried the same thing with her right hand, there was no response. More here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/15/us/15medical.html? ------------------------------------- A Jigsaw Picture of an Accused Killer By THE NEW YORK TIMES Published: January 15, 2011 Deputy Sheriff Thomas Audetat, a chiseled former Marine with three tours in Iraq to his credit, dug his knee into the gangly young man’s back and cuffed him. With the aid of another deputy, he relieved the heroic civilians of their charge and began searching for weapons other than the Glock semiautomatic pistol, secured nearby under a civilian’s foot, that had just fired 31 rounds. In the left front pocket, two 15-round magazines. In the right front pocket, a black, four-inch folding knife. “Are there any other weapons on you?” Deputy Audetat recalled demanding. “Back right pocket.” But the back right pocket contained no weapons. Instead, in a Ziploc bag, the deputy found about $20 in cash, some change, a credit card and, peeking through the plastic as if proffering a calling card, an Arizona driver’s license for one Jared Lee Loughner, 22. Deputy Audetat lifted the passive, even relaxed suspect to his feet and led him to the patrol car, where the man twisted himself awkwardly across the back seat, face planted on the floor board. Then he invoked an oddly timed constitutional right. “I plead the Fifth,” Mr. Loughner said, though the deputy had no intention of questioning him. “I plead the Fifth.” At a Pima County Sheriff’s Department substation, Deputy Audetat guided Mr. Loughner to a tiny interview room with a two-way mirror, directed him to a plastic blue chair and offered him a glass of water. The deputy detected no remorse; nothing. Now to another building for the mug shot. Look into the camera, the suspect was told. He smiled. Click.

tpia*: tpia*: Typically, you give the state first crack at trying a criminal case like this. If conflicts arise, then the feds come in and take a shot. First sending it to U.S. District Court just complicates things needlessly. The crime happened in Arizona. They have as competent a judicial system as any in the country - their politically motivated legislators notwithstanding. And, the last time I checked, Arizona had the death penalty, in case they just want to ensure that. JeSoul:Oh, you poor misguided thing. Take a seat and let me do your hair. We'll hang and chill and gab. . . and then you'll get home and scare everyone including your pet poodle. |
