Democratic Congresswoman Among 12 Shot in Arizona

Dat is all you need to know.

 

Got a pic of Mad Dog Vachon?

 

No Mad Dog, but there's this:



Skull Murphy

 

In all fairness to Emmanuel and to our discussion, he didn't send the fish to someone who was on the other side. He sent it to a pollster who was late delivering polling results. It had nothing to do with rhetoric toward the other side, which is what we're discussing.

And from our own State Department:

CRIME: The Bahamas has a high crime rate. New Providence Island in particular has experienced a spike in crime that has adversely affected the traveling public. Pickpocketing and theft remain the most common crimes perpetrated against tourists. However, there has been a spate of more violent criminal activity in 2009. Three separate groups of tourists were held at gunpoint and robbed at popular tourist sites in and near Nassau; each of these incidents occurred during daylight hours and involved groups of more than eight persons. Several other groups of tourists allegedly were victims of armed robbery at more remote locations.

The U.S. Embassy has received reports of assaults, including sexual assaults, in diverse areas such as in casinos, outside hotels, or on cruise ships. In several incidents the victim had reportedly been drugged. The Bahamas has the highest incidence of rape in the Caribbean according to a 2007 United Nations report on crime, violence, and development trends. Much of the violent crime occurs outside of areas frequented by tourists, such as the “over-the-hill” section of Nassau. Two American citizens were murdered in Nassau in 2009, both allegedly in residential areas. Home break-ins, theft, and robbery are not confined to any specific part of the island.

The upsurge in criminal activity has also led to incidents which, while not directed at tourists, could place innocent bystanders at risk. An altercation at a major resort resulted in the shooting of two security officers, while several daytime robberies in Nassau led to exchanges of gunfire on busy streets.

 

And do 30 seconds of google research and you'll see that Arizona and New Jersey are pretty much neck and neck in terms of handgun-related crimes. So tough gung laws don't translate into less crime.

 

Ooooh, I hates gung laws.

They can have my gung when they pry it from my dead, cold hand.

 

How is it ramping up the hate speech to defend yourself?
And Krugman started it all hours after the shooting on Twitter.

 

OK. Did it. Arizona gun homicide rate per 100,000 is 4.54, ninth in the country. New Jersey's is 2.65, or 26th. Not really neck and neck. Thanks for playing, though.

Turns out the suspect did have an accomplice. A clone, actually.....

 

Name one time when Rush encouraged madmen to go on shooting sprees.

Just one.
