While everyone is worried about being targeted and tarnished along with the gunmen, buying into the crap spout by the media as if conspiracies
theories discussions were the cause for the gunmen to act, and also arguing about gun laws enshrined within the sacred Constitution, there are bigger
questions to ask if we are to keep to the motto of this site, and that is to deny ignorance.
What was the motive of the gunman?
Who was the target and what did she represent?
=====================================
A quick search on the internet found that Dem. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was someone the far right and Corporations would hate.
1.She pusheded for health care
2. She pushed for better funding for education
3. She pushed for raising minimum wages.
4. She pushed for immigration reform and targes company hiring illegals.
5. She repealed $16b in oil subsidies to oil companys.
6. She favours renewable and solar energies.
7. She introduces bill to forbid selling air craft parts in markets.
8. She supports a stronger armed force along Mex border.
9. She supports the 2nd amendment.
10. She was Arizona's first Jewish Congresswoman.
She served on the Committee for Science and technology overseeing Energy, Environment, Space and Aeronautics. Her husband is a Space Shuttle Pilot.
-------------------
Jared Lee Loughner 22 years old:-
1. Loner, lived with parents.
2. Drug abuser.
3. Far left leaning from the type of books he keeps.
4. Signs, but not conclusive evidences, of mental instability.
5. Had an accomplice during the shooting - white middle aged male
Of course, when investigations are complete, we will all have a better picture. But based on avaliable information, Jared does not seem to have any
political motivation to kill Rep. Giffords.
Nothing was stolen.
Several others were brutually murdered as well.
A person do not just simply get up one morning and start shooting people. There had been a motivation to it, even if such beliefs are wrong and stems
from mental instabilities. Based on political motives, he could have targeted more far right republicans in Arizona than Dem. Rep. Giffords,if that
hatred ran deep enough.
But it was during a political event that the carnage happened, to send a political message.
Based upon older profiles of lone crazed gunmen who shot up students or paserbys off the streets, such nutjobs do not expect to live, and would
heavily armed themselves, to kill all and be killed in the end. Jared wanted to live, expected to live, as evident by his attempts to flee after his
pathetic gun ran out of ammo.
He seems more like a hired gun on command, to take the rap.
Whoever was his accomplice, may he found and not end up on a dumpster, for he may hold a better clue as to why the senseless carnage happened.
