Mary Rose Wilcox is a career politician from Phoenix' South side who runs a Democrat political machine that has been compared to Daley's in Chicago.

“Wilcox, who was shot in the hip in 1997 by an angry constituent...”
But...but...she’s in a “deep blue district.” I mean, everyone knows it’s only Tea Partiers and other conservatives who engage in gun violence.
/MSM and libthink.
BTW, I’ve never met Mary Rose, but I just get the feeling she’s about as pleasant to be around as a bad case of hemorrhoids.
At least he looks like a normal person, she looks like the some mean character out of a bad TV show.
She looks like she could be the daughter of Helen Thomas.
She looks like Helen Thomas’ fatter and uglier sister. The dude running against her was a beauty queen by comparison, which ain’t saying much.
A linked article says that she was shot in the ass. A hard target to miss, I suspect.
Actually, I think she looks like the drunk who brought charges against Rick Perry.
Ding dong the witch is dead.
As I recall, she was shot for voting for a sales tax for the baseball stadium.
Mary Rose looks like a Democrat poster child in that mug shot.
Driving through South Phoenix will answer a lot of questions about the Reps from there. Just be sure you don’t get caught there after dark.
The voters repeatedly rejected the tax increase. My recollection is that she figured a way to form a “Special Stadium District Board” that was not elected, managed to appoint herself to it, and then moved to enact the tax increase for the stadium. She got very rich while in office. It was after that that she was shot. A local paper even said she deserved it.
I believe the perp was aiming at the shopping mall behind her.
Bunk! Two-ton Mary Rose was shot in the byuttocks.
Judging by her photo, she was shot in the face, but her countenance frightened the bullet so badly that it swerved away.
Ruben Gallego represents a new breed that is a threat to the Democrats, a “moderate” Latino.
A generation ago, a lot of Latinos (Mexican-Americans) jumped on the radicalism bandwagon, an outgrowth of coming from “Old Europe” Mexico, central and South America, where there are only two real social classes, the rich who rule, and the peasants. This breeds radicalism.
But in the US, they slowly begin to realize that there is no noble class, and that even poor people can improve their lives, because there are no real oppressors “keeping them down”.
So while they lean Democrat, they less and less want to embrace radical dialectic, because they realize that it is a fantasy of hatred, and that if they approach things from “enlightened self interest” it pays off a lot more.
A big question should be “Why does Ruben Gallego get a B+ from the NRA?” I suspect the answer might be that the weapons he is suspicious of he associates with powerful government and military oppression, not civilian ownership.
And this is an important way to approach Latinos about guns. That in the US they are “tools of the people”, to protect themselves and their families, that the owner of a gun decides if it is for good or evil, not the gun itself.
That is, Latino acceptance of guns is not a great evolution of thought, but just a cultural change. Once they accept guns, it puts Latinos in the same position as Ruben Gallego was by Mary Rose Wilcox, a radical, that they are seen by leftist Democrat radicals as “traitors to the cause”.
And they are not dummies. If they are called “traitors” by Democrats, they will shrug and become Republicans. Because their cause is that of free men, not someone else’s “agenda”.
Not to mention she's just butt ugly.
RE:#7-PLUS 1!!!
I was doing foreclosure maintenance etc. down in south phoenix and there are a few pieces of the area I was nervous to be in alone, during broad daylight! I was real happy they passed concealed carry legally without the extra permit... because open carry made me feel like I was challenging them to shoot me first...
