Congressman shot

Arizona rep Giffords was shot earlier today. We still don't know if she is alive or dead and at least 11 other people were shot at

Fuck, she was a Democrat.

And with that, Gelzo cheapened the gravity of the situation with politics.

Yup.

Also, overheard she was undergoing surgery too.

Fuckin' A. Shot in the head point blank. It's a wonder she didn't die instantly.

^^ What's with the obscene hatred for punctuation in that listing?

^^^ The fuck? that can't be real.

I hope that astronaut husband of hers rips the shooter a new one.

Well, metaphorically.

Gelzo

That event seems so much like a joke, but sadly, I wouldn't put it past them.

She's as good as dead, then.

Jesus.

Actually, the title of the thread should be changed to "Congresswoman shot."

Worst. Necro. Ever.

InsanityAddict

That was a bit of a cheap shot, dude.

Holy shit, I saw this thread and was wondering why I hadn't heard about anything like this happening, then I saw that this was old news from before I even joined IJBM.

And yet you got chosen to be a moderator over everyone else.

Anyway, she's showing signs of major recovery after, well, being shot in the head. Does the human nervous system and brain regenerate well or something?
