Sounds as if he really doesn’t want to be a sheriff in Arizona with all that whining.

He was channeling John Murtha.

Anyone ever find out why there weren’t any LEOs at that event?

Yet he is still Sheriff. If the community was really upset with this guy, a recall movement would be sweeping him out the door. These people knew who they were voting for and are getting what they bought. This idiot Dumbprick has been a loose cannon for years. This latest episode of his insanity should be no suprise to anyone.

There is a recall effort underway, requiring 110,000 signatures to get it on the ballot. I’m signing, but that is a pretty big number to reach in this liberal hellhole.

Because none were requested, and local LE wasn’t informed of the event. It’s pretty typical, and Giffords did this sort of thing a lot. My guess is there will always be LE present from now on.

out Out OUT!

This guy has got to go.
He is not a Sheriff. He is a political demagogue and a Liberal shill.

He is not an impartial law enforcement officer.

Sheriff Dipwad IMO needs to resign, or be forced out of office. The guy is responsible IMO for the perp acquiring the weapon legally. Dipwad covered for the family as the Mother also worked for the city. If the kid had been arrested as he should have been, and sent for the mental evaluation anybody else’s kid would have had to have undergone for the threats to life he made over the years he would have had a public criminal record that would have prohibited his purchase of the weapon.

NOT only the above, but Sheriff Dipwad single mouthedly has also encumbered the DA’s case against the perp with much of his rantings.

Has Giffords' office confirmed that?

Either fire the bastard, Arizona, or STFU about him!! You knew what he was the 39th time you re-elected him. Anyone holding public office should be consigned to the under side of the dumpster long before they reach this age.

Clarence Dupnik: aka: Clancy-the-Dupe. The bad news is, he’s planning to run for re-election. The good news is candidates are already lining up to take him on.

"This is not the first time that Dupnick has battled with the Tea Party. He was already calling its members bigoted during the 2010 election. When they announced a February meeting that would feature a woman who had been shot and whose husband died from his wounds on the day of the tragedy, Dupnick was not sent an invitation and was, in fact, avoided. The meeting's focus is on the mental-health implications of the shooting."

Dipnet not gettum invite AND was ***avoided***!

(Oh noes! No invite make Sheriff cranky, Dipnet want to kill someone, voices taking over,RUN FOR YOUR FREAKIN' LIVES!!)

Meanwhile Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu both disagree with Dupnick. Babeu is still appearing on national TV criticizing Dupnick's statement. Dupnick continues put down SB 1070, the anti-immigrant bill although he does enforce it, the other two sheriffs support it strongly.

Looks like the Arizona Star is pro-illegal alien

This was a "card table" event. According to reports that I have read the congresswoman would literally setup outside a store and attempt to engage people. I don't imagine that much thought was given to security.

Two words. Commie scumbag.

They need to throw his commie ass out!

BTW: I was deeply "offended" by this 'RAT piggy's vitriol and heated rhetoric after the 'RATS' "Miracle in Tuscon". Where the hell are my civil rights not to ever be "offended"?
