  With all this Palin hate mongering on the Left, lets hope nothing bad happens to her or her family.

  The family was trying to block the FBI/Police from searching the house. They must all be nuts, why would they do that?

  am'haaretz anyone know of a Watchtower reference?

  by moggy lover in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  several years ago, probably about the 1980s, i recall reading a reference to the term "am-haaretz" [literally "people of the earth/land" a 1c ad jewish term used by the pharisees as a pejorative to refer to rustic, peasant people] in the watchtower magazine in association with how watchtower followers were to treat disfellowshipped ones.. can anyone recall this and find this reference, or am i dreaming it all up?.

  Looks like this guy has a history of making death threats.....and the Pima County Sheriff did nothing about it.

  We had warning.

  http://thechollajumps.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/jared-loughner-is-a-product-of-sheriff-dupniks-office/

  Jared Loughner is a product of Sheriff Dupnik’s office

  This is the report that Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has been dreading since the tragic event on Saturday January 8.

  The sheriff has been editorializing and politicizing the event since he took the podium to report on the incident. His blaming of radio personalities and bloggers is a pre-emptive strike because Mr. Dupnik knows this tragedy lays at his feet and his office. Six people died on his watch and he could have prevented it. He needs to step up and start apologizing to the families of the victims instead of spinning this event to serve his own political agenda.

  Jared Loughner, pronounced by the Sheriff as Lock-ner, saying it was the Polish pronunciation. Of course he meant Scott or Irish but that isn’t the point. The point is he and his office have had previous contact with the alleged assailant in the past and that is how he knows how to pronounce the name.

  Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When Pima County Sheriff’s Office was informed, his deputies assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County. Amy Loughner is a Natural Resource specialist for the Pima County Parks and Recreation. My sympathies and my heart goes out to her and the rest of Mr. Loughner’s family. This tragedy must be tearing them up inside wondering if they had done the right things in trying to manage Jared’s obvious mental instability.

  Every victim of his threats previously must also be wondering if this tragedy could have been prevented if they had been more aggressive in pursuing charges against Mr. Loughner. Perhaps with a felony conviction he would never have been able to lawfully by the Glock 9mm Model 19 that he used to strike down the lives of six people and decimate 14 more.

  This was not an act of politics. This was an act of a mentally disturbed young man hell bent on getting his 15 minutes of infamy. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department was aware of his violent nature and they failed to act appropriately. This tragedy leads right back to Sherriff Dupnik and all the spin in the world is not going to change that fact.

  Flashback: How Clinton exploited Oklahoma City for political gain

  by NeckBeard in

  there are reports democrats plan an extensive effort to link the tea party, sarah palin, rush limbaugh, and republicans in general to the shootings in arizona.

  the idea is to pin blame on those groups much as bill clinton was able to pin blame on newt gingrich, limbaugh, and republicans in the aftermath of the april 19, 1995 oklahoma city bombing.

  it's an effort that was previewed last year, on the 15th anniversary of the oklahoma city attack, when clinton himself tried out some of the themes we are hearing today in the aftermath of violence in arizona.

  That playbook may have worked in 1995, but it won't work in 2011 (not that they won't try).

  Intentional homicides by country

  More stats from The UN, no offence BTS but please treat information from the Mail with suspicion most in The UK do

  No two countries count homicides the same, LLBH.

  US counts things as homicide that the UK does not:

  For the UK, "‘homicide’ covers the offences of murder, manslaughter and infanticide."

  Homicide does not include “Causing death by dangerous driving” which "includes causing death by careless driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs and causing death by aggravated vehicle taking."

  So, the UK does not include a significant number of careless driving homicides that are included in US homicide numbers.

  In the US, an initial categorization of homicide counts as homicide for the national record. In the UK, these come off the rolls if the defendant is later found to be innocent of homicide in court. This inflates US numbers for purposes of comparison.

  In the area of murder, analyses typically use FBI homicide reports, but the FBI reports initial police determinations for homicides which tend to undercount civilian defensive shootings (excusable homicides) and over-count felony homicides by about 12%. In UK reporting, homicide classifications and counts are continually revised over time with initial police reports being revised as courts or prosecutors make evaluations.

  The Brits reclassify homicides from results of investigations."Where the police initially record an offence as homicide it remains classified unless the police or courts decide later that no offence or homicide took place. This would mean that a defensive killing that a court in England held was justified would no longer be counted in England, but the same would not be true in the US because the FBI homicide classification policy does not allow revisions.

  In the US, the FBI classifies homicide according to first police determinations and they are not reclassified by investigations.

  However, overall violent crimes are higher in the UK.

  We may quibble over exact numbers, but the trends I showed in my previous post are clear.

  US crime rates have gradually fallen under a more liberalized firearms regime. The UK's have sharply risen under a more draconian one.

  There is simply no logical argument you can make against this factual statement on trends above.

  The leftoids are basically creaming themselves over the possibility of a Tea-Party type going off his rocker and doing something nasty.

  Not that it couldn't happen, but every time it isn't, you can almost hear the collective sighs of disappointment in the room.

  I just heard Sean Hannity blathering about this. He says liberals will find a way to blame this on FOX 'News' and the right.

  In light of the immediate, reflexive, reaction on the Left this weekend, I would say Hannity's instincts served him well.
