Hey,if you can't blame terrorism...Blame the other boogeyman--POT.
Who somebody should be blaming are the Congressperson's security detail, as well as the local police. This was an epic security failiure, comparable to Chuck and Camilla being attacked by those protesters. It's truly amazing that nobody put a bullet in that wacko, especially considering the fact that police were part of the entourage. Considering the fact that she'd received death threats in the past, security should have been heightened around Giffords. Loughner apparently ran out of ammo, before bystanders (not police) tackled him. I'm not too much of a conspiracy theorist, but something stinks here.
The alleged shooter was really a few bricks short of a load: a fan of both Hitler and Marx, rabidly White Supremacist...and obsessed with grammar. Crazies come and go, and always find the means to try and kill people, but security and police forces are supposed to be there to prevent these incidents. So why didn't they do their job, here? And why is the Sheriff so quick in blaming his constituents' (Sheriffs are elected in Arizona) "prejudice and bigotry," rather than the gross failiure of his department to protect the public, including two Federal officials from what appears to be a single assailant? I smell rank politicking, here.
A fan of Hitler and Marx?....What an idiot.
Interesting theory about security...It does smell rather strange that it was bystanders that subdued him and not those who are paid and allegedly 'trained' for such a situation.
And just to add my 2 cents in on who or what some prominent cons want to blame this on...
David Frum is an asshat..(other words come to mind but I'll keep it as that)
