Reptiles in Tucson

So a mentally ill youngster decides to kill his US Rep because of a perceived wrong, attacks her and kills young and old indiscriminately. A 9 year old girl curious of politics, a young social worker trying to make a difference, 3 senior citizens who wanted to talk about medicare and a judge trying to get relief for an overworked federal bench. Gone.

Violent metaphors in politics, populist vitriol, unreasonable, ignorant and illogical arguments full of hate will do this to some people.

Rep. Giffords warned us back in March: 

“When people do that, they’ve got to realize there’s consequences.”
