Leftist Tucson Shooting Victim Arrested for Death Threat (Updated)
Topics: Political News and commentaries
"Violent vitriol" from, contrary to the left's narrative ... a leftist threatening a tea-party supporter at a town hall meeting who favored delaying talk about gun laws until emotions over the shooting have died down:
A victim in the mass shooting north of Tucson attending a special town hall today was arrested after his outburst at a tea-party supporter who favored delaying talk about gun laws until emotions over the shooting have died down.Put another way, a far-left barking moonbat that happens to be a shooting victim (from a shooter that is far more likely a lefty than a righty, if he had any political ideology at all other than his own) threatens violence against tea-party supporter for suggesting that decisions be made on a basis of calm, reason, logic, and facts rather than knee-jerk reaction and "vitriol."The Pima County Sheriff's Department said it arrested Eric Fuller, 63, who was wounded in the knee a week ago in the shooting rampage that killed six and wounded 13. He was being held Saturday for alleged threats of intimidation and disorderly conduct and will undergo a mental-health evaluation.
The incident took place near the end of a taping of ABC's weekly "Town Hall" with news anchor Christiane Amanpour.
[...] Toward the end of the taping, Amanpour brought up the issues of gun safety and mental health. One member of the audience who identified with the tea-party movement stood up and said debate over the shooting's political and gun-law implications should be delayed until emotions settle down. Fuller, seated near the front in an area reserved for victims and special guests, appeared increasingly frustrated and agitated.
Fuller then swiveled in his chair, raised his camera and took a photo of the pro-gun speaker, muttering, "You're dead," according to Joel Tranter, who was sitting behind him...
Seems to me that this speaks volumes about the left's response to the Tucson shooting.
