URGENT: Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona Shot at Event

I know how you feel and I would have a hard time keeping Bud from the person, but I am of the thought that two wrongs don't make a right. An eye for an eye doesn't work for me personally. I might feel different if truly in the situation, but one of the greatest things I ever witnessed was a friend of mine standing up before her sons killer and telling him that she forgave him. It is the greatest act of selflessness I have ever witnessed. I was forever changed by her courage. I think everyone in the courtroom was affected. The judge even got a little teary eyed.

Your friend is a better person then I am; because if something like this had happened and I had 5 minutes, the criminal would be dead.
 
I'm just talking out loud here but my brother-in-law's parents live 5 minutes from that Safeway. My sister just called and said she and her husband always go to that Safeway when they are visiting. My brother-in-law also donated a kidney to his father at the hospital where the victims are now just a couple of months ago.

Hopefully they weren't attending the meeting.
This is touching a lot of individuals.

Well, then we know it is a good hospital and I am glad your sister wasn't there at the time shopping! SCARY!
 
latest is she is responding to commands...

apparently the bullet entered and exited her head in the temple

WOW! this is great news, and I suppose if you have to be shot in the head a temple in and out wound is good.

I'm clueless on this. I know this is pure speculation but is it possible to fully recover from something like that?

Unconfirmed report that the bullet traveled from one side of her temple and exitted the other side.
A lot is going to depend on the path of the bullet and it's caliper.
 
These are the sentiments I share~


"We do not yet have all the answers. What we do know is that such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society. I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping Representative Giffords, the victims of this tragedy, and their families in our prayers," Obama said.

"An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve. Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society. Our prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her staff, all who were injured, and their families. This is a sad day for our country," Boehner said.

The knee jerk is already starting; because it was probably a "SEMI-AUTOMATIC", but the MSM want to classify things like "assault weapons".
