Most news outlets are now reporting that she has died.

Her press sec. says she is still alive in surgery. Let's hope this is true and that she comes thru it well.

From here:

Quote:

A surgeon is "very optimistic" about Rep. Giffords. He adds that she was shot in the head "through and through."

"We cannot tell what kind of recovery but I'm about as optimistic as it can get in this situation."

and

Quote:

MSNBC reports that Tucson's deputy city manager says that doctors expect Rep. Giffords to pull through.

She was one of the Democratic representatives targeted by Palin's PAC's infamous gun-sight ad.

However, Chief Judge Roll of the District of Arizona is apparently dead.

What a nutjob. Seriously folks.

Apparently the 9 year old girl who was killed was born on 9/11/01.

She also happened to be the daughter of a scout for the Dodgers, granddaughter of major league manager Dallas Green.

The guy seems to have been a legitimately crazy nutjob (duh), with a rather unbalanced form of extremist political "views". I haven't cared to spend too much time absorbing all of his craziness, but the bits and pieces I've come across are all over the place. From right wing "the government is trying to take over our lives" nutjobbery, to listing Mein Kompf and the Communist Manifesto as favorite books. A purported high school acquaintance described him, in high school, as radically left wing and a believer in 2012 prophecy.

Nut. Job.

Yeah... It doesn't sound like he had any particular political agenda. Mein Kompf and the Communist Manifesto are at complete opposite ends of the political spectrum. He's just your garden variety insane.

However, that hasn't stopped people from both sides of the political fence from proclaiming him a believer of the other side's.
