Gabrielle Gifford: The aftermath

Two days ago Gabrielle Gifford, Arizona Democrat, was shot by Jared Loughner putting her in the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head her recovery is not clear.

While Loughner failed in his assassination attempt it did not come without the cost of other lives of six people and injuring many.

Now many families are morning the loss of loved ones and trying to fathom what would drive a man to do all this.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of all those involved in this difficult time.

It is unfortunate that during this time mass media has decided to profit from others losses.  As it stands there is a radio show that is being blamed for what has happened as they had aired an interview in which they disagreed with Gabrielle, poloticians are now planning more gun control laws, and Sarah Palin is some how implicated because of a web site that had various Democrats in cross hairs.

Who ever started up this media shit storm should be slapped silly, in a time of sorrow and need only a media clown shoe would whip up a shit storm and profit.    I have a few more thoughts if you want to continue to read after the break.
Theses are just the few things I noticed while reading the news and such so I am sure there are many more out there but I want to quickly address the following.

  • Gun Control: Politicians use any instance of gun violence as a method of trying to pass a new gun law, now that this has happened to one of their own they can use her as a spring board for any bill from this point forward.  Fact is that if guns were not available this man would have used a bow, no bow?? How about a knife, wait no knife??  Sharp stick or rock anyone.  Fact is gun laws do not lower violent crime but rather chance them, ask a Police officer in England if they worry about getting shot, they will probably say no but I worry about getting stabbed.
  • Radio show blame?!?!  Really? Come the "f" on!!  Turn on your radio, switch it to AM and on any given day you will run into countless talk stations that are either conservative or liberal each of which will have guests from the opposite party on and proceed to argue with them over everything!!  Pretty sure there is nothing wrong with debate and it is governments fault all together that the parties act like two teenage girls fighting over who is going to ask the star QB out to the dance!  So give it a rest you clown shoes!
  • Sarah Palin crosshairs: This goes right back to the radio show thing.  Politics have become like a high school drama show.  Basically pissing matches on everything and how I can make the other person look stupid.  So Sarah Palins crosshairs while probably lacking in taste was not an invitation for someone to go hunting!!! 
In the end the shooters seems like a nut job and that's about it.   So quit trying to profit off of this report the facts and move on!
