Get ready for another media outrage of why we shouldn't be allowed to own guns.

He did not appear to be aligned with the ows group in that video.

They are already trying to pin it on the tea party.

It began a long time ago.

I'm still trying to figure out the "neo-nazi" thing since a story I read earlier claimed that the female victim was his girlfriend and her last name is Maderos... doesn't sound very Aryan to me. Maybe I just don't know enough about neo-nazis.

He was running for Pinal County Sheriff as a Democrat.

HE'S A DEMOCRAT? HAH. I find that slightly ironic.

Not exactly. Before that, he did stuff for the republicans. He was patrolling the boarder, trying to keep the illegals out -- not much of a democrat there. It sounds like he was unstable, a ticking bomb that finally went off, just like so many other nuts that go on a shooting spree. I see a picture of what appears to be a .22LR rifle --- supposedly an assault rifle (look at the magazine). Is that what he supposedly used? This story makes no sense, really -- no one has done any legwork on this story so the couple of pieces on it have strange gaps and confusing, conflicting data.

I do agree with you though, my first impression of everything was "what?"
