My thoughts and prayers go with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the honorable judge Joseph Roll, and all the other victims and their families in the wake of the horrific shooting outside of Tuscon, Arizona that took place yesterday.
I won't make any political hay over this tragedy. It's simply too awful. For the record I don't consider murder political speech or any speech whatsoever. It is a crime, period.
I have no idea what drove 22 year old Jared Loughran to kill. Be it mental illness or some paranoid delusion.
I refuse to point fingers. This is bigger than me. This is bigger than democrat vs. republican or liberal vs. conservative.
My hope is that we can come together as a country to condemn this awful crime and remember that in the end, we're ALL Americans, regardless of the letter on our voter cards.
I might not agree with my neighbor's viewpoint, but I'll defend, to the death, his right to say it.
