AZ sheriff blames political rhetoric

New posts
"Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik blames the political climate, anti-government advocates and rhetoric in the news media and political realm for Saturday's shooting massacre in Tucson."


​


So the Sheriff is blaming politics, anti-government advocates, and the media for a psychopath unloading on a crowd of people?

There are likely others who also have a hatred and fear of our government, but the difference between them and this shooter, is that the shooter acted on his thoughts. He is not fit for society. Too bad the Sheriff couldn't have had the forethought to provide a deputy for the gathering, especially if he knew, as he stated, that Arizona has become an epicenter for anti-government sentiments.

I bet Walton County, FL Sheriff Atkinson wouldn't be blaming outside influence for something that his deputies might have prevented.

I wonder if we will ever find out what kind of medications the shooter was on.
 
There have been incidents with Giffords' office before- brick through the window after the health care vote, and apparently pretty regular protests outside it with extremely ugly language involved.

So you've got someone who is being repeatedly harassed, who is by all accounts a genuinely nice person who tries her best to do the right thing for her constituents and who is described as not having a malicious bone in her body. (If she were Christian, she'd well fit the description of following Jesus' recommendation to turn the other cheek)

And when nice people put themselves on the line for that kind of action from not so nice people, it's not necessarily a partisan action to put a description on the people who have repeatedly harassed her.
 
...and according the news reports, Gabby spoke out against Obama for not having border control.

Again, if a US Representative has had threats made against her, and she was going to speak in a public gathering, why wouldn't the Sheriff had stationed a deputy at that location for that event?

Even our local Sheriff knows that if a heated topic is on an upcoming county agenda, he will have more than one deputy at that meeting.
 
Glen Beck gave this guy paranoid schizophrenia, therefore we must outlaw Glen Beck. :lol:

I'm betting Pima County is going to have a new sheriff pretty soon.
 
:shock: So now this is the sheriffs fault?
 
I would like to see Glen Beck decide to do something positive...to make a real difference in the world with the forum he has been given. Just think what he might do it he used his place in the world to unite rather than divide people in this country..

Certainly he and others of his ilk have a first amendment right to speak his/their minds...but, what positive influence does the ranting have? When he asks himself how have I contributed to the world in a positive way, I wonder what the answer is...

does anyone's little girl or boy look or listen to him and say, "when I grow up, I want to be a radio/television talk show person like Glen Beck?"

It's been established that this guy specifically targeted Giffords, apublic official, and was motivated by political issues. Sounds anti-government to me. Why are you comparing our state with Arizona?
