tucson: I'm interested in knowing how others feel about it. I know I read that a group of people find the shooter a "hero"? Does anyone else out there see this murderer as a hero? Definitely not me. Let me know!|||Definitely no hero. Personally I feel the most sorry for his parents. Even more so than the victims. Can you imagine what it would feel like to have your child do something like that? You would feel responsible. How would you ever get over the guilt? As far as the kid himself, I think he was obviously very troubled, but in the society we live in when people are "different," people ignore them, call them "creepy," weird, or whatever and pretty much avoid them instead of seeing what's wrong with him. Maybe he just needed a friend but nobody would give him the chance. All of that anger and bitterness has to find an outlet eventually. We need some kind of support system for troubled people in this country. Somewhere to go if you feel isolated, alone, and have nobody to talk about your problems and can't afford therapy.|||The dude is definitely no hero. A big douche maybe..... Agree with the above post. Feel VERY sorry for the parents. The whole situation is so sad. Our country has gotten so fanatical with politics and bipartisan differences in the last 10 years. It's crazy. Everyone is so opinionated with politics and is so hate filled. It's very sad|||A zionist stage show for gun ban. http://batr.net/forum/showthread.php?tid鈥?/a> Arizona Shooter and Giffords Belonged To Same Synagogue http://www.originaldissent.com/node/880#鈥?/a> Jared Loughner Is Jewish But His Synagogue Congregation Chaverim and Rabbi Stephanie Aaron And The Media Have Been Caught Hiding This Fact Revealed By WhiteNewsNow From Americans This is an amazing story. We now learn that Jared Lee Loughner's mother Amy Loughner is a member of the SAME Reform synagogue as Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords! That means that Amy's son, who lives with his Jewish parents, Amy and Randy Loughner, is ALSO a member of the same synagogue as his shooting victim, Rep. Giffords. Why didn't we hear about this from our super-sleuth national media? Instead we hear that a White man is the shooter. We hear that anti-Semitism is his motive. But now...now...some FACTS are leaking out! His best friend, Bryce Tierney, who got a "farewell" voice message the night before the shootings tells us that his friend is Jewish. He tells us that Jared Loughner put Mein Kampf down as "favorite reading" to irritate his Jewish mother, Amy. The story and the coverup of the story gets wilder. The Loughners and the Giffords were members of the same Congregation Chaverim. On the Congregation Chaverim website we learn that this Reform synagogue that was founded in 1973 has 140 families. That's a very small group. The Rabbi, Stephanie Aaron surely knows every single family member of her congregation on a first name basis! That includes 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner. So, it is IMPOSSIBLE that Rabbi Stephanie Aaron did not KNOW instantly upon learning that a Jared Lee Loughner had shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords that BOTH people were members of her small congregation! But does Rabbi Aaron make ANY effort to inform the media, as she takes hundreds and hundreds of media calls from the mass media, of this fact? Apparently not! # Here's something about the synagogue, from some synagogue website in AZ. (The Chaverim website is either down or overloaded): Congregation Chaverim (Reform), 5901 E. 2nd St. Tucson, AZ 85711 Phone (520) 320-1015 Website: http://www.chaverim.net. Congregation Chaverim is a Reform Jewish congregation in which each member is personally responsible for creating a dynamic congregational family experience that cultivates spirituality, education and traditions through active participation. One of our goals is to create an identification with Judaism through the participation of the entire family in a series of shared religious and educational experiences and to foster a creative and innovative religious atmosphere while preserving Jewish tradition and ethics. Now, for the first time in our 30+ year history, Congregation Chaverim is permanently housed in our own synagogue building allowing Chaverim to better fulfill its mission as a full service Reform Congregation. Shabbat Services and holiday celebrations as well as Children's and Adult Education programs are part of our caring environment that promotes our community spirit of worship, friendship, and social action. Affiliated with UAHC for more then 27 years. Today, 08:40 AM|||He is not a hero. And as for Ginny, outlawing guns will result in the same scenario as outlawing drug use. Still available illegally.|||It is a tragedy. Assuming the shooter acted alone, I am reminded of his right to reject treatment for his condition. This is so unfortunate as he put so many people at risk.|||Waiting to happen until guns are outlawed it will happen again. Edit - At least it would be harder than going into a shop as if to buy a can of pop.|||Not a hero but a deluded nutcase.|||If it wasn't for Senator Giffords being injured.....the event would NOT have taken up so much 'air' time.
