Second amendment remedies, I guess: http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/08/arizona.shooting/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1

Way to go, Arizona!

You're right. every single Republican in the country is a deranged, psychotic murderer. We're just waiting until Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck says whatever code word will activate our hate programming to go assassinate a politician that we disagree with.

You've got us all figured out.

Good then. Moving along.

First question: When did I actually say any of that?  I was using this as my one last chance to reference Sharron Angle. And to mock Arizona. Both good things.

[Wheezer]

Sources tell MSNBC that a semiautomatic weapon was used in the shooting.

Not that the "15 to 20 shots" part could have led one to this conclusion. Thanks, HuffPo.

Some asshole took something out of context and killed some decent people today. It's no one's fault but his. Blaming an entire political party is the same as blaming Beavis and Butthead for someone's trailer getting set on fire.

The person who did this is a piece of shit. It pretty much ends there.

Agreed, but is there an argument to be made for causality?  Would this person not have done this act but for taking something out of context?  Serious question.

No. Probably. Stop it.

Can't we all just agree to agree that Arizona and everything in it sucks?

Agreed.  Also, apparently all the news sources are reporting that this Congresswoman is not dead, at the present time.

Arizona seemed pretty normal to me until Pen started posting here. Since then it's really turned to shit.

My thoughts on "does violent rhetoric cause violence":

1. No. Maybe in 0.00001% of cases.
2. It's amazing to me that some get more butthurt over the very SUGGESTION that rhetoric could maybe in very rare cases incite violence, than over the rhetoric itself.

Dumb questions.  Who knows what set this person off.

Better question: When will politicians stop with the gun imagery in relation to their opponents?  While we all want our guy to win, can't we start to at least begin the process of winding down the hyperbole?

Sometimes we need to be hit over the head by someone's motivation until it sinks in.

Again, for the record, I didn't say that Angle's douchetastic rhetoric or Palin's posting of crosshairs over this Congresswoman's district directly caused this; I just re-referenced Angle's quote.

Yes, asking about motive is a dumb question.  Good thing the criminal justice system isn't predicated upon such a showing.

There is - but I think we can make it after we find out if this woman is going to be alright or actually hear from the person that did this.

The majority of people, who reside in District-8, are illiterate—hilarious. I don't control your English grammar structure, but you control your English grammar structure.

What a dipshit.
