Here in AZ Jared Loughner, the 22-year-old suspect in the fatal shooting of six people and attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has an attorney. Well Known attorney Judy Clarke has helped defend several high-profile clients including Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, alleged 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and Susan Smith. Remember the South Carolina woman who drowned her two sons in 1994. Well, Loughner's mug shot was unbelievable. He does look crazy...Now I know there have many people that say they knew a certain person was bad by the look of their 'cold' eyes..I think that like was often used in old westerns and I am not sure you can spot a killer that way....But Crazy is easier to spot and this guy is crazy...
But needless he does have people who believe as he does…… Members of the Westboro Baptist Church, known for its anti-gay protests at the funerals of U.S. soldiers, The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church believes that the misfortunes of the U.S. are due to God’s wrath for failing to follow a doctrine that condemns gays, Catholics, Jews and others, according to The Wall Street Journal. The same ones that have been protesting at the Solders funerals, the same ones that showed up at Elizabeth Edwards’s funeral, now are planning on coming to Tucson. But when the church announced its intention to picket the funeral of a 9-year-old girl -- Because she was catholic!---one of six people who died Saturday during the attempted assassination of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords -- Gilmer and others put their feet down. (Taken from MSNBC)
Tucson is a "caring, loving, peaceful community," according to Gilmer, who said two of the six people killed were friends.
"For something like this to happen in Tucson was a really big shock to us all," she said. "Our nightmare happened when we saw Westboro Baptist Church was going to picket the funerals."
"We're going to silently stand there so people can mourn the death of a 9-year-old girl who died in a senseless tragedy," Gilmer said.
Cohen said several groups are planning to be at the funeral to show their support, and there is an effort afoot to bring them all together "into one group so we can all be on the same page."
"I hope that everyone there can convey the peaceful message that we want to convey, she said
The protesters, against the protesters, (Do you like that wording) are going to have several hundred people wearing angel wings. To me that is definitely over kill but those protesters from Kansas just can’t seem to get it through their head. “They’re not in Kansas anymore Toto.” They are traveling all over the place…I think they should all travel to Afghanistan to protest our soldiers being there. This would be a good idea to me..
