Walking Short: The Life and Lies of Sheriff Clarence Dupnik
Canada Free Press ^ | January 11, 2011 | Selwyn Duke

The obvious villain in the Gabrielle Giffords tragedy is the man who caused it, the very disturbed Jared Lee Loughner. Sadly, though, there have been villains in the response to it, too—many villains. And while it’s hard to make a pick for this Black Hat Award, one man who has certainly distinguished himself is Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.

As you may know, Dupnik has been busy warning of how speech has consequences while in the same breath blaming conservatives for the actions of Loughner. Now, I don’t blame the sheriff for asking why. It is fine to look for reasons. It is not fine to be reckless and wrong. And it’s a sin when it’s born of indifference to Truth....

...Now, Dupnik seems to be very troubled by inflammatory rhetoric; except, he only seems to thus define words when they inflame him. I wonder, did Dupnik notice when militant atheist Christopher Hitchens said after Rev. Jerry Falwell’s death, “I think it’s a pity there isn’t a hell for him to go to” or when another of his leftist friends, Julianne Malveaux, hoped that Clarence Thomas’ wife would feed the justice a high-fat diet so he’d die of a heart attack? Does Dupnik stay up at night worrying about Barack Obama’s statement, “If they [the Republicans] bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” or about how the president referred to American political opponents as “enemies”? Probably not. After all, he seems to be of one mind and tongue with Obama, having opposed AZ’s original immigration law, calling it “racist,” “disgusting” and “stupid.” And imagine, Dupnik’s Pima County abuts Maricopa County, home of “America’s Toughest Sheriff.” Just cross a border and you go from Joe Arpaio to a jawing pie hole....

Just heard on Rush: Sheriff Dupnik has refused to release his department’s file on the killer.

Alec Baldwin stated publicly that the American public should go to Rep. Henry Hyde’s house and stone him and his family to death.
Where was the outrage then?

Arpaio was great on O’Reilly last night. He more or less told Dipstik not to start smearing him. Joe said he has stayed out of this fiasco so far and intends to continue doing so. However, Dipstik better not attack Joe or he’ll be wishing he had never heard of him. Go Joe! Doing the job Dipstik doesn’t want to do.

“For starters, if we’re actually going to analyze the politics of Loughner, we should note that..he apparently posted it to DemocraticUnderground.com before its appearance on YouTube.”

—Does anyone with a computer background know if this claim that Loughner posted the videos to DemocraticUnderground is true, or not?

Another reason why I’m distrustful of Cops. Durham PD all over again.

Could Dupnik have been pointing his finger so vigorously in another direction because of his own culpability? Circumstances certainly suggest he was well aware that Loughner was a risk, and apparently did nothing.

I bet he’ll release them under force of subpoena by the victims’ trial lawyers when they sue his sorry ass and his incompetent department for negligent wrongful death and injury.

Normally I hate those slimeball lawyers, but I’m kinda rooting for them right now.

Of course, he may be burning up the ol’ shredder even as we speak...

Yep....and the longer Sheriff Clarence Dupnik "digs in", the worse it will be for him.

The bag of excrement has been put out there as we find out more about Loughner....and Rush has said on many occasions that if a bag of excrement is put into the path of any liberal, that liberal will step in it every time.

Sheriff Dupnik's career is over....all that is left for him is the formal resignation.
