PHOENIX -- One of the Arizona shooting victims was arrested Saturday and then taken for a psychiatric evaluation after authorities said he took a picture of a tea party leader at televised town hall meeting and yelled: "you're dead."

James Eric Fuller, 63, objected to something Trent Humphries said during the forum taped for a special edition of ABC's "This Week" with Christiane Amanpour, Pima County sheriff's spokesman Jason Ogan said. Fuller was in the front row and apparently became upset when Humphries suggested that any conversations about gun control should be delayed until all the dead were buried, KGUN-TV in Tucson reported.

Just a thought, that dog doesn’t look really happy. Time to get the “dog whisperer” in to read his mind.

Guess he planned to do with a knife.

Too violent. My guess would be trans-fat or second-hand smoke.

He’s unnecessarily casting a dark shadow over a horrific event. His remarks are despicable. The injured curmudgeon should take a break from politics and focus on his health.

It’ll also give the fools on the conservative side time to lay themselves down in the road to be run over.

Per KPHO, Fuller’s house being searched.

CBS 5 cameras were rolling when Pima County Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant on Fuller’s house Saturday night. Officials wouldn’t comment any further on the search, only saying it was standard operating procedure.

one other juicy quote, KPHO

During an interview with CBS 5 reporter Elias Johnson just five days after he was shot, Fuller said the shooting made him realize he would save the world some day.

Lots of books and a tennis racket. He’s an “avid” tennis player who ‘cut short’ a tennis game to go to Giffords event to “protect her” and while at the event had an arguement with a Marine, which had to be broken up by the Gifford aide whom was killed by Loughner.

I think the media might leverage Fuller to paint Loughner as a right winger. Not by providing evidence that Loughner is a right winger (since he's a lefty if anything) but by repeating a "one crazy from the right and one crazy from the left" mantra. Then adding that both were driven insane by the atmosphere of hate created by Sarah Palin.

I suspect this guy either got off his meds or fell off the wagon.

I have no idea. I’ll have to look the earlier interview up.
Delusions of grandeur.

I don’t know. Fuller was so full of himself when he spoke about it. He sure wasn’t “protecting” Gabby while he was causing a scene.

Check this out. Now he is a disabled vet.

Fuller, a disabled veteran and former campaign volunteer for Giffords, was charged with making threats, intimidation and disorderly conduct and was involuntarily committed for a psychiatric evaluation, Ogan said.

At least they are calling him a Democratic activist.

KPHO did not have that quote on the video. Oddly, either right before or after his visit to the scene, he went to Loughner’s house to (1) forgive his parents, or (2) to have Loughner’s parents to forgive him for calling their son an ‘unhinged lunatic’.

He says on his hypno page he’s a non-physical disabled vet. That only leaves one disability, mental.
