Tie up the guy and throw him to the pigs, let him die like the animal he is.
You should guilty until proven innocent (for violent crimes)... not the other way around...
Innocent till proven guilty should only be for non-violent crimes.
#ing OP is a moronic idiot.
Patricia Maisch looks like a grandmother, but she is being hailed as a hero today for helping to stop alleged Tucson shooter Jared Loughner by wrestling away a fresh magazine of bullets as he tried to reload.
Maisch, 61, effectively disarmed the shooter as several men pounced on him and threw him to ground. As they struggled to hold him down, Maisch joined the scrum on the ground, clinging to the gunman’s ankles.

What about the people that tackled him with gun in hand or the rest of the people at the meeting that weren't shot??
They are called EYE WITNESSES !!

I agree with matrix.. Only a simply delusional person would call this guy innocent at this point.. Every single bit of evidence points toward guilt, and I am yet to see something pointing toward innocent..
There are no "life points" for finding a conspiracy in EVERYTHING!!!

I watched an elderly man explain how he watched Jared do the shooting, turn to duck, then help tackle Jared as he was getting the second clip from his pocket. What exactly is it you are looking for?
I am curious. Are people concerned about preserving liberties or is there some reason people really really really want this guy not to be guilty? This thread kind of seems like a disconnect. I agree that he must be proven guilty in a court of law but all these requests for who saw what when and where seem a little silly. Witnesses saw him shooting. Saw him with the gun. They assaulted him with the gun in hand. They got the gun from him. Someone else picked up his gun. There is security camera footage. Is there something more here we are supposed to be considering?

911 call says the suspect ran, he ran north......right next to the safeway. He was wearing a hoodie, black.
At 1 10 it says, "and he ran." in the video
Not only that, but the man said by many to have "tackled" Loughner was wearing a black hoodie, and carrying a concealed weapon with a permit. It's much more likely this gun nut sprayed a crowd with bullets than this kid who the evidence suggests has never fired a gun before in his life. Why don't we ask this Fiducio guy or whatever the hell he says his name is if he had anything to do with the shootings, ask him how he felt about Giffords representing his "district-8". Ask that guy if he ever posts on YouTube and Myspace using other people's names. Ask him if he's in the army, if he knows the recruiter that falsified Loughner's MEPS papers. He certainly had opportunity and means, he was certainly wearing a black hoodie as the witnesses all describe, why was everyone shouting that they had the wrong man? Did he have a motive to kill these people? Is he a soldier trained to kill on command? THOSE are the real "mind control slaves", the soldiers, the police, they're all liars and serial killers. Who put these psychotic people in charge? They put themselves in charge, that's who, and everyone who swallows their lies in the face of conflicting evidence is complicit in their murders, they are all accessories after the fact.

Can you produce this elderly man's name?
Maisch, 61, effectively disarmed the shooter as several men pounced on him and threw him to ground. As they struggled to hold him down, Maisch joined the scrum on the ground, clinging to the gunman's ankles.
Speaking to the press today, Maisch recalled how she stopped Loughner as he tried to reload his Glock 9 mm weapon.
"I could see him coming. [He] shot the lady next to me," Maisch said.
She considered trying to run away, she said, but thought that would make her more of a target, so she laid down on the ground. But then something unexpected happened.
"Then he was next to me on the ground," she said. "The gentleman knocked him down.
"I kneeled over him. He was pulling a magazine [to reload] and I grabbed the magazine and secured that. I think the men got the gun, and I was able to get the magazine," she said.
As soon as the shots sounded, Villec dived for cover behind a concrete pillar. All around him he could hear cries, screams — and still more gunfire, at least 10 shots that he counted.
From his hiding place he saw a man lying on the ground. All he could think was, “This is real. This is happening. Nobody’s going to pinch me and tell me to wake up.”
Somehow, he managed to scamper up off the ground and run, crossing the parking lot for the Wells Fargo bank, where employees were already calling 911. They locked the bank doors, and Villec and the others took refuge inside. He got on the phone to authorities to tell them what little he knew.
Villec had no idea, then, who had been hit or whether anyone had survived or whether the gunman had been stopped. He had no idea that Giffords sat slumped against the glass window of a grocery store, bleeding from a potentially fatal head wound.
Kimble saw the gunman coming from the corner of his eye. Even after he, too, hit the ground, he could see the suspect running past the line of waiting constituents, shooting all the while. Patricia Maisch, 61, was standing farther back in the line when she heard the first shot. As the gunman headed in her direction, shooting people “right down the line,” she laid on the ground next to another woman. Suddenly, that woman was shot, too, and Maisch felt sure she was next, when two men suddenly tackled the attacker as he was reaching for a fresh magazine. “Get the magazine!” someone shouted, as Maisch reached out and snatched it.
