Barring Info, Speculating On Motive Behind Giffords Shooting Helps No One

by Ken Rudin

In this era of instant information and 24/7 Tweeting, it is understandable that news about today's shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) after an event in Tucson spread like wildfire.

What is also unsurprising, but regrettable, is that everyone is ascribing a motive for the shooting without any credible information.

The Internet and the Twitterworld have been filled with speculation on why she was shot: that she was too liberal and was shot by a Tea Party conservative. Or that she was too moderate and shot by someone on the left.

All we know is that the shooter is under custody. No statement has been released, no motive revealed. Self-anointed "journalists" should keep such opinions to themselves until we know more.
 
Ariz. Congresswoman Giffords shot; Dad: 'Entire tea party' her enemy


Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was clinging to life after a gunman shot her in the head in front of an Arizona grocery store where she was holding a public event, authorities said.

The three-term Democrat, who might have been shot at point blank range, was airlifted to University Medical Center in Tuscon where she was undergoing surgery, Reuters reported.

Nine others, including a child, also seriously injured in the bloody shooting spree were also being treated there, according to reports.

The congresswoman’s father Spencer Gifford, 75, was rushing to the hospital when asked if his 40-year-old daughter had any enemies.

"Yeah," he told The Post. "The whole tea party."

He added that politicians constantly faced danger.

"They always get threat[ened]," Gifford cried. "We don’t really have any information. The Police department was supposed to call us but they didn’t."

The 40-year-old representative, who held her seat since 2007, held strong positions on immigration – a Arizona flashpoint issue.

It is yet unclear what motivated the shooter. Like many other democrats, Giffords was threatened after the passage of health care reform in March, when the door to her Tuscon office had been smashed.The congresswoman, who held her seat since 2007, was married to U.S. astronaut Mark Kelly.

you're an asshole
 
did you read the OP fuckwad?

why do assholes like you use people's deaths, shootings, to futher your sick and twisted political views?

For today, leave the motive alone, there is evidence that she and the federal judge who was also shot were often threatened by political oponants, but lets get the info before discussing this....

Give those injured the benefit respect for the day.

There will be plenty of time to hash out what happened and discuss the politics later.

Considering the nastiness displayed by this issue and the trolls that are now overpopulating the site, perhaps leaving here should be the prize for the winner.

Since the blood stains are still on the floor and there are still people fighting for their lives, why not wait just a bit before spouting the vile political nonsense?

Or is that too much to ask?
