Palin just took down the "target list" picture with the crosshairs on the map.

Of course, it took someone to be really shot for her to remove this Smiley)

This guy who knows things says the shooter was a 21-year-old male.  Again, there's a report of a child being involved, but the guy says the child is in the hospital, not dead.

I would hope it's just basic human decency. Palin is stupid, but I'd hope she's not totally soulless.

One could ask why it was necessary to put up in the first place.

When basic decency and political damage-control dictate the same thing, it is usually not possible or wise to try to tweak them apart and assign separate credit. It's just not how the mind works. (Unless you're, like, literally "totally soulless", but nobody is.)

It sounds like there's also going to be a press conference by the people around the Safeway in about 20 minutes.  Not sure if this is in addition to the conference at the hospital.

Maybe not.  It might be four, not 6.  I think only one death is confirmed for sure.

Most more recent reports don't give a tally.

Of course, there's this irrelevant tidbit looking much more ominously relevant suddenly.

Were there any similar reports from elsewhere?

Exactly, but some people can't seem to do anything but make a political statement out of this.

It's disgusting to the point that I don't know what to say anymore.

Barbarians.
Palin, Libaugh, "true conservatives" : all barbarians. Go burn in hell.
And anyone who shares their beliefs belongs to them.
Poor country...

Rest in peace, proud woman who had the courage to stand for justice and progress. You belong to the right sense of history.

Stop blaming people before we know facts....

anyway, I have to go now.  May be back later - if the mods want to alter the title when we find out more, please do so.

As usual, certain posters on Atlas are clearly putting their "best efforts" on this one.

...is this seriously your way of responding to a tragedy?

Stop it. For the love of God, stop it.

Hopefully the count is kept to a minimum... CNN is reporting six and that's the only news channel I have.

No. Not inappropriate, it shows how accessible she was trying to be, how you need to be as a Congressperson. If I were anyone in Congress right now, I would be scared to exercise my 1st amendment rights or do my job.

Everyone with very conservative beliefs is responsible for the act of one crazy? Idiotic.

When, not 3 months ago, things like this were all over the TV, it's hard not to.
