Well...there goes plan B to blame this on the Tea Party or Sarah Palin. Wonder what they will come up with next?

So the “Caucasian man in blue jeans” wasn’t the “real killer”. So much for Clarence the Clown’s racial profiling gig.

Can someone point me to an article that discusses the other victims of the psychopath? Was there a conservative federal judge killed? How do they know he wasn’t the target? I hope other conservative judges have good security.

From the beginning, it was obviously a lone shooter with major psychological issues. Crazy people do crazy things.

LOL! Just saw a short clip of Mueller’s presser. Clarence was standing behind Mueller sniffing like a dog.

“Arizona authorities say a second man has been cleared of any involvement in an attempted assassination of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson.”

They’ve jumped the shark so badly on this case that they’ve damaged credibility not only in the news, but in law enforcement too.

The pathetic shills who flogged this unmercifully crossed the boundary into “what the hell is going on here?” territory with the voters.

Allowing no crisis to go to waste means being able to MANAGE the crisis, not let it go completely FUBAR into the realm of slanderously unbelieveble speculation as this did.

I don’t know where I read or heard that the judge was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. (I think my husband told me, and I don’t know if he heard it or read it.) The judge goes to Mass every day. He usually goes downtown to Mass. He was running late yesterday and went to Mass at a church near where the shooting occurred. He stopped at Safeway to see his good friend, Gabby Giffords, when he saw the sign for the event. It was a coincidence that he showed up and was killed.

These events are depressing enough without having to listen to leftist idiots trying to blame it on conservatives.

The judge was not scheduled to be there but just happened to be passing by. The fact that Congresswoman Giffords happened to be the first person shot indicates that she was the target. Once she had been shot, the shooter then shot randomly into a crowd, not taking time to aim at anyone in particular.

Having said that, it is important to keep focused here. The seriousness of this tragedy has nothing to do with a conservative federal judge being shot and killed, but that a Democrat politician was shot. If the judge had been the target and the congresswoman had not been shot, we wouldn't have had an appearance and statement by Obama for days (unless he wanted to give a shout-out to someone).

authorities were not ready to say if they are confident the gunman acted alone

He most likely did work alone. If there was someone else, it would be in the LE's best interest to put it out that there wasn't anyone so he'd slip up.

Go to link and see the second comment, by jwest, who points out that the judge was the first person to be shot, and could possibly have been the primary target.

That is correct, petitfour. The Judge was not scheduled to be there so it was nothing more than a terrible coincidence.

I don’t think the federal judge killed was conservative. He just happened to have stopped by the gathering after attending a church service. And like a few other folks where in the wrong place at the wrong time.
