What's odd is this guy is supposed to be a liberal and Gifford supporter. Do you know what made him so mad at Humphries? The discussion was supposed to be an opportunity to discuss the tragedy and to help the community heal,to honor heros and to recognize those coming together despite their political differences, but had gone off on a tangent about gun control.
Trent Humphries, the founder of the Tucson Tea Party, rose to speak and suggested that discussion about gun legislation be postponed until after the funerals. At that point, Ms. Proud said, Mr. Fuller blurted out to Mr. Humphries, “You’re dead.” About five police officers surrounded Mr. Fuller and escorted him from the event. As he was leaving, Ms. Proud said, he turned and yelled, “You’re all whores.”
Of course ABC reports left off the part about the person threatened being a tea party member and downplayed the entire threat. Can you imagine the reaction if the roles were reversed and Fuller was the tea party member?
Once again, before all the facts are in, there is talk that his behavior is a reaction to the shooting last week. Mmm... not so fast:
Mr. Fuller got into a confrontation shortly before the Jan. 8 attack, which occurred at a meeting between Ms. Gifford and her constituents in front of a Safeway supermarket. Mr. Fuller said in an interview this week that he argued with a man he described as a former Marine after a heated discussion over politics. Gabriel Zimmerman, an aide to Ms. Giffords, separated the two. Mr. Zimmerman was killed in the attack. Mr. Fuller spoke dismissively of Republicans during the interview. “They appeal to simple-minded rednecks,” he said.
Nope, no hate from the left. None at all.
There is one element of good news that shows the local authorities have learned a little following the Loughner saga. In this case, Fuller made a direct threat so they were able to hold him for psychological testing.
