Is Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik responsible for death threats against Tucson Tea Party Co-founder?

Is Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik responsible for death threats against Tucson Tea Party Co-founder?

Only hours after the tragic shooting in front of the Safeway grocery store in Tucson and without any evidence to substantiate his claim Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik blamed the shooting on everyone including but not limited to, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Fox News and the Tea Party. Apparently the shooter, Jared Loughner had no culpability in the shooting. He was just a victim of the so-called ‘vitriolic’ talk from the aforementioned. ‘Vitriol’, for the uninformed is any talk that goes against liberal policy.

Even after it was learned that the shooter didn’t listen to Sarah Palin, Limbaugh, Beck or Fox News Dupnik and others continued their rant, apparently in a shameless effort to subscribe to White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel’s credo of, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Since the ‘Duper’ planted the notion that the Tea Party was one of the guilty parties responsible for the shooting one can only deduct that it was that vitriolic talk from the sheriff that inspired Tucson liberal activist Eric Fuller to turn to Tucson Tea Party co-founder Trent Humphries, point a camera at him, take his picture and yell, “you’re dead!”

As Fuller was being forcibly led from the nationally televised News program he was calling members of the audience, “whores”. He also was quoted as saying he wouldn’t appear on Fox News because they would attack him and he would yell at them that they were whores. He apparently likes the term. Probably something only Freud could properly address.

The only thing that we are sure about at this time is according to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, the shooting was the fault of Sarah Palin, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, people who disagree with the far left liberal agenda and the Tea Party. We also know that Eric Fuller also blames the same group for the shooting and likes to call people ‘whores’.

Fuller is currently under psychiatric observation and he faces charges of threats and intimidation and disorderly conduct. The charges will be dropped, however if Tea Party member, Humphries decides not to press charges. Personally I would press charges. I think it’s save to say Fuller would be short-stroking it when it came to pressing charges against Humphries if the rolls were reversed. Oh, and about ‘good will’ – forget about that. Playing nice with liberals will not buy you any gratitude or points. It’s a one-way street as far as they are concerned.

The final, and possibly most important thing we know is that the ‘Duper’ and Fuller, along with the media whores (sorry, I’m just trying to get a feel for why Fuller likes to use the term so much) have in common is they don’t have a shred of evidence to back their claims – especially since we now know that Jared Loughner didn’t listen to any of the outlets that Dupnik and Fuller claim are responsible. Do facts really matter with liberals? Nah; facts only get in the way. Same thing for standards. They have a double set. One for them and one for the rest of us.

One last thought, will Fuller be a prohibited possessor of a firearm now? He should be, in my opinion. If Fuller murders someone down the road, will Dupnik accept blame for Fuller’s actions? Nah, it’s a rhetorical question.

Tucson tragedy predictably re-ignites gun control attempts

We didn't have to wait long for the anti-gun community to attempt to capitalize on the shooting tragedy in Tucson, AZ.

They predictably prescribe to the Rahn Emanuel credo of: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." They are, in my mind despicable.

There are over 20,000 gun control laws on the books right now. Do they really think number 20,001 is going to be the one that does it? They are illogical morons with no intellectual credibility. They will attempt to equate any resistance to their nonsenseical rhetoric to those of us who use logic, rather than hype as being callous.
Don't fall for it and don't let their attempts go unchallenged.

Never let a good crisis go to waste

Tucson, AZ 01/09/2011


“Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Yesterday was a sad day for Tucson, for the nation and for the friends and families of the murdered and wounded at a town hall meeting in Tucson.

Gabrielle Giffords was holding one of her many town hall meetings at a local strip mall on the northwest side of Tucson.

It’s reported that approximately 10 minutes into the meet and greet a lone gunman, 22-year-old Jared Loughner walked up to Congresswoman Giffords and shot her in the head at point-blank range. He then began firing his 9 mm. Glock 19 indiscriminately, resulting in the deaths of 5 others, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old little girl.

As the shooter attempted to put a fresh mag in the firearm a woman in the crowd wrestled them away from him. Two men in the crowd wrestled the shooter to the ground. One of them was grazed by a bullet but refused medical treatment until the others were attended to. The woman and the two men are heroes.

As is so often the case, there was much misinformation at first. The news initially reported that Giffords had been shot in the head at close range. Then they reported that she had died. It was later learned that she was in surgery and was in critical condition but they were cautiously optimistic.

In the interest of full disclosure I will offer that I disagree with Congresswoman Giffords on many issues and agree with her on some others. When I heard of the shooting it was as though a friend had been shot, however. When it was reported that she had died from her wound it was as though I had lost a friend. We weren’t friends who went out for dinner or exchanged gifts. As a matter of fact she wouldn’t know me if I was standing beside her in a restaurant. Still, I could disagree on political policies with her and not consider her inherently evil. She never struck me as that kind of person.

In my mind another tragedy was committed following the horrendous act that needlessly took the lives of innocent people and left others wounded. That tragedy was the interview by Pima County Sheriff, Clearance Dupnik. The good sheriff, a man visibly, and understandably shaken by the events of the day decided to subscribe to former White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel’s credo of, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Dupnik, not content to merely give, “just the facts”, opted to go on a rant in a thinly-veiled attack on right-wing media, the tea-party and ostensibly anyone who disagrees with the far-left radical movement and implying that it was in some way their fault for the shooting.

When the sheriff was first introduced he gave a brief statement and said he would be followed by the Arizona state representative for the FBI. He looked as though he was irritated that another agency would dare infringe on his authority. He introduced the FBI agent as, “Nate Gray”, then he looked back toward the agent as though he was annoyed that it was a new person and said, “Used to be, Green.” It was at that point Dupnik shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “Whatever” and went back to addressing the news people.

After a brief sit rep (situation report), Dupnik went into typical Dupnik/Rahn Emanuel mode and launch into a nonsensical tirade on those he thought to be responsible for the senseless shooting.

“The suspected shooter is Jared Lee Loughner, a 22-year-old who lives on the northwest side. He is mentally unstable and may have had an accomplice, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Saturday evening.”

I’m not a real psychiatrist and don’t even play one on TV, but I would submit that I find Clarence to be mentally unstable and decidedly an anti-gun, elitist ideologue who attempted to blame the tragedy on the “…vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day-to-day from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business. This has not become the nice United States of America that most of us grew up in.” The sheriff went on to say, ala: Raul Grijalva, Arizona has become the capital of bigotness and prejudice. Sort of reminds me of an old proverb that states it's better to be a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it. Sheriff, you really shouldn't miss a good oportunity to shut up when you're making a fool of yourself on national TV.

Megan Kelly, a news anchor on Fox News and a very accomplished attorney asked Dupnik if he had anything in his investigation to substantiate his claim of the so-called vitriol of TV and radio inflaming the shooter.

Dupnik went on a diatribe that had nothing to do with the question. In true Megan Kelly fashion, Kelly kept pressing the sheriff as to whether he had anything to back his claims of whether the shooter had even listened to TV or radio commentators. In the end he had to admit that it was only his opinion. When Megan asked if he should be adding fuel to the fire he answered, "I guess that will be for your viewers to decide." The man is a moron! I don't want him shot, either. I just want him voted out. He's an embarrasment to our comunity.

It doesn’t take a giant leap to figure out who that statement was directed at – any radio or television host who disagrees with far left Democrat ideologues or people bothered by the constant attack on the Right to keep and bear arms by law-abiding citizens. He’s never been bashful about his views on private ownership of firearms.

Rest assured that Dupnik, Obama and all the anti-gun populace will be short-stroking this tragedy in an attempt to advance their anti-gun agenda and their quest for endless gun laws. Lest you think I'm exagerating:

As someone who is trained in personal protection I can assure you that anytime you have someone who is willing to trade their life for yours, you have a tough road to hoe. It is already illegal to murder someone. The law is very tough on the murder or attempted murder of a Congress person and especially a federal judge. Clearly he was not going to be deterred by any law – especially a gun law. This guy was a nut job (don’t ya love people knowledgeable in medical terms), in my opinion. He had a long history, going back to high school days as an outcast and very disturbed.

I, and many others have political disagreements with our politicians. Having a political disagreement with someone doesn’t equate to a desire to murder those who disagree with us, however. Lord knows I disagree with how our current President is running our country. I also disagreed many times with how President Bush was running the country. I know of many who feel the same, but like me have never entertained the idea of killing them. You simply work to have them voted out of office next time and hope for the best.

What this terrible tragedy has shown us is
1. If someone is willing to trade their life for yours, gun laws won’t stop them.
2. Democrats like Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and others will not pass up an opportunity to subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel credo of, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
3. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik really is worse than even I thought and needs to be replaced in the next election. He’s a politician – not a sheriff.

The shooter is a deranged person who’s problems have been well-documented long before the so-called ‘vitriol’ Dupnik spoke of.

Here’s to a full and speedy recovery, Gabby. I’ll be praying for it.
