Who's revolution?


This was a despicable act. And didn't need to happen.

Easy access to public. I think all VIPs and politicians must move around in Vatican style bulletproof glass containers.

This video was made as a joke, I did videos like that were you just over act sh!t up for the hell of it... I play a lot of FPS and I have no urges to go kill someone just because I play a game where you shoot people in the game... Just because you drive a car everyday do you feel like racing everyone when you go do your grocery???

Ridiculous....

Oh wait my bad... its prolly cause of Eminem...

Hey, let's speculate like the MSM does.

Yeah, it was an alien from the planet atwtgaoualtaga, yeah, yeah, that is it.

Let's blame the tea partiers like Bloomberg did and then when it comes out someone else did it, let's bury it.

Great, the propaganda components of our MSM and the public at large.

Was she strong on drug traffickers? If so, this is an assassination by the Mexican cartel.
If so.... lay down the gauntlet on the border.

You never know.


Didn't we have an election recently? Isn't that how we do these things here? What is that saying? If you do not like the way we do things here, there is the door? I am pretty sure she was democratically elected to office in the US. Any revolutionaries that are looking to overturn democratic elections in the US are not exactly things I see as necessity.

In 1993, President Reagan was shot and Tom Brady
took a 22 bullet in the head in that same incident.
What followed that event was the largest sweeping
overhaul of gun control in the history of the US.
It was called the Brady Bill.

Remarkable, how these 2 incidents intersect.
get your pen and paper handy, history is getting
ready to change again.


Boon, it was March 30, 1981

A revolution by shooting an unarmed woman. No, it's an act of a coward not a start of a revolution.

Or... let's ignore the partisan BS and not speculate on anything other than several people were shot and the fact that this is a tragedy and a crime regardless of whatever political fallout might surface later.

The shooter is insane - his political or ideological leanings mean nothing to me. Showing respect for his victims should be our priority right now.

Huffingtonpost says the shooter was in his mid 20's and clean shaven and white. He called out peoples names as he shot people so this sounds like it might be a disgruntled employee.

The next American revolution.

Whether it needed to happen or not could be argued back and forth all day long.

I'm guessing the shooter was probably a nutjob, not someone who went out with the intent to bring down a government, but the end result is the same.

Good spot BOON..




While there is no hard evidence at this point to suggest that the shooting was politically motivated, Matt Yglesias points out that an anti-Giffords event was held in June with the billing: "Get on Target for Victory in November. Help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly."

Rep. Giffords was also on Sarah Palin's "target list."

As noted earlier, a gun was dropped at a Giffords event in 2009, and her office was vandalized in March.




It seems there's an Anti-Giffords movement.

Armed or not, she is part of a corrupt group of criminals known as the United States Congress.

The U.S. Government has no qualms about shooting unarmed people they deem a threat, why should the American people?

We dont need revolution like that. I wont take part in it or even side with it and I refuse to believe that to be the answer.

Fox are reporting that she is in a critical condition, undergoing surgery as we speak.

Yahoo is saying the shooter is a white man, late teens early 20's clean shaven wearing dark clothing, witness stated he looked like a "Fringe character"

I would hope the next American revolution would be started on more noble grounds than the murder of an innocent, unarmed woman.

Hey, here is another possibility, just like the incident where a disgruntled person in the office caused it.

Hey, also, it could have been a member of Obama's and Soro's inner sanctum beginning the revolution.

Yeah, yeah, that is a possibility.

Then you have the Illuminati, or maybe the Masons, or maybe the Satanists, or.........................
