These days I'm more apt to believe incidents like Giffords' shooting are staged to put the final nails in our coffin than being just one offs. After all, every one of the phony 'terrorists' - liquid bomber, shoe bomber, crotchbomber - was used as justification to bring police state hell to airports.
Whether or not this was just a mentally unstable man committing a crime, it looks like they're going after the first amendment big time, because every incident is used as an excuse now to shred the constitution, either real or manufactured.
Lawmakers consider new curbs on incendiary speech
"Shocked and saddened lawmakers grappled on Monday with the weekend shooting of one of their own, with some suggesting that new laws and regulations are needed to curb incendiary speech.
The aftermath of Saturday’s attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) brought a rare moment of unity on Capitol Hill, but it also escalated a contentious debate over violent imagery in the nation’s political discourse.
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) was having a beer and eating pizza at a New Jersey bar when he heard the news via the television. Soon thereafter, he was contacted by his staff and was on the phone with other House members.
“It’s somewhat overwhelming. We are all flabbergasted, stunned,” he said.
While noting the obvious differences between the two events, Pascrell said Saturday reminds him of 9/11."
