Arizona pass Funeral Protection Bill and other related items
With the news that the West Baptist Church intention of picketing the funerals of the victims of the shooting to include 9 year old Christina Taylor Green the Arizona State government has passed a Bill that that would keep the West Baptist Church members at least 300 feet away from the funeral site. The local populations have also pledge to help in this effort in keeping the picketers away.
“Protesting or picketing outside the funeral of an innocent victim is despicable,” said House Speaker Kirk Adams. “It’s time to bring Arizona in line with the many other states that protect the sensitivities of victims against groups that use fear and hate to denigrate the lives of Americans.”
Adams sponsored the emergency measure that prohibits people from picketing or protesting within 300 feet of any residence, cemetery, funeral home, church, synagogue or other establishment during or within one hour of a funeral service or burial service.
The House and Senate passed the bill unanimously Tuesday. Gov. Jan Brewer signed the measure Tuesday evening.
One bit of good news is that the doctors are expecting a full recovery of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
TUCSON, Ariz. — U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was breathing on her own and moving both arms after being shot in the head, doctors said Tuesday.
Giffords still has a breathing tube to prevent infections such as pneumonia, said her neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Lemole.
“I’m happy to say that she’s holding her own,” he said.
Giffords, a three-time Democrat, remained in critical condition at Tucson’s University Medical Center since Saturday when she was shot during a meeting with constituents outside a grocery store. The attack killed six and injured 14 others. Six remained hospitalized.
Giffords previously raised two fingers with her left hand and gave a thumbs-up when responding to doctors’ verbal commands.
Although her condition has remained virtually unchanged the past few days, doctors were hopeful.
“She has a 101 percent chance of surviving,” said trauma chief Dr. Peter Rhee said. “She will not die. She does not have that permission from me.”
Also had a question about the weapon that the shooter used and the claim that it was a 31 round clip and who can buy them. Anything about this still being current?
The select-fire version of the Glock, called Glock 18, available only in 9mm Luger and only for Military / Law enforcement sales. Glock 18 could fire single shots or three-shot bursts. Glock 18 may be equipped with 31-rounds extended magazines and after-market folding stocks. For security reasons, some parts of the Glock 18 ARE NOT interchangeable with Glock 17/19 pistols. The theoretical rate of fire in full-auto mode is 1200 rounds per minute.
Now here is a WTF for the day. I warn you that anyone holding any drinks, food, or anything that is unbroken that would like to keep them unbroken to put them away now.
Ready? Your sure?
The West Baptist Church Protesters are really Tea Party members. Not even kidding.
Conservative Tea Party Activists from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas say they will picket the funeral of Christina Greene, the 9-year-old girl who was murdered in cold blood during the Tea Party sponsored assassination rampage in Tucson, Arizona last weekend.
Huh?
Some Tea Party activists have pledged to use the money they raise to help defend the killer in court. Many Tea Party activists are calling Loughner a “hero.”
I would like to know who has said anything close to this.
The Tea Party movement and their violence must be stopped. While many in Congress are now calling the Tea Party movement a “moment,” specifically because of the Tea Party sponsored Arizona assassinations, we nevertheless need to hold these lawbreakers accountable for their actions. To be sure, criminals who support the Tea Party and their violent acts are NOT Americans. They are NOT patriots and they are NOT democratic. Rather, they are no less than the terrorists who attacked this country on 9/11. No wonder Tea Party activists will be picketing the funeral of 9/11 icon Christina Greene. Tea Party activists are terrorists themselves.
WTF

Oooohh… Can they spell “L-I-B-E-L” there?
Problem here is that you can’t prove Libel against an individual. It’s a good thing I’m not a leftie that will get but hurt at the smallest slight, and have to sue the whole world to make it right, cuz I’m sure I’d be real hurt. As it is I’m just pissed off.
If you go to the (un)American Chronicle article and click on the writers profile you’ll see his liberal bias just glowing in the titles of his “articles”. Just another liberal idiot blogger who thinks he is Woodward / Bernstein.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t Fred Phelps a lifetime Democrat and actually ran for office under the Democratic ticket? Geez, these people are idiots.
I’m pretty sure he has reliable sources for those Tea Party Assassination comments. It’s just that “The Others” who talk in this guy’s head, except when he wears the aluminum foil helmet, told him not to mention them by name.
It’s domain is for sale if that helps: http://www.betterwhois.com/bwhois.cgi?domain=americanchronicles.com&x=82&y=9
Went to their about page, it has a managing editor at a PO box in Beverly Hills,CA. Oh, there are 25 other unique names associated with this sites IP addy…they are for sale as well.
Yeah Phelps ran 3 times as a Dem. Her page syas that she is an “American Patriot” who supports the military and their families. Sure thing. I sent her a message via the site but you can’t comment on articles.
Of Course the Westboro Lawyer Gang are Tea Party Activists! Don’t you recall the Palin-Phelps conference and resulting presidential ticket? Don’t you remember the Angle-Phelps campaign stops? Don’t you remember the endorsement of Phelps for the “witch” in Conneticut which swept her to victory?
How about all those signs at the Tea Party rallies calling for retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan? Or how WBC carries the signs calling for less taxes and 2nd Amendment rights? Haven’t you noticed that they are constantly harping on the 10 Amendment?
Yeah, me neither.
But the allegations parallel the calls by Bill Maher to “reclaim patriotism” last night on the Tonight Show. The talking points are the same, even if it requires a new definition of patriotism to achieve.
In other news of crazies on late shows, even Craig Ferguson had a tough time not calling in the men in white suits when Roseanne Barr explained how she’s personally chopped down thousands of evil Ironwood trees to save the environment with Macademia Nuts which can replace greenhouse gas emitting beef, but as a strict vegetarian, it’s ok to eat ham. She also explained how as a child she sold her soul to Satan but that a few years ago, she was able to negotiate a Re-Fi. Evidently, it’s all in her new book.
That nutbar over at American Chronicle would fit right in with Joe and the left, that’s for sure. Just make shit up as you go.
I poked around that American Chronicle site. Geez, they are some uninformed lunatics, aren’t they?
They even said that Jared Loughner was a Tea Party member. Where do they get this from?
This is the sort of misinformation that makes liberals into unhinged weirdos. If their enemies are as bad as their blogs tell them that they are, then there’s simply no talking to them.
Jared Loughner is a Bush-hating, flag-burning, pot-smoking, 9/11 truther who reads the Communist Manifesto and rejects the concept of God.
Yes, that description of him is “cherry-picked”. But it’s a lot clearer picture of qwho he really is than to call him a right-winger.
Phred Phelps is a registered democrap who was heavily involved in Gore’s election attempt. He has also run for several democrap offices in Kansas. Matter of public record for those who care to look at reality versus leftard democrap version of it.
Dr. Peter Rhee said. “She will not die. She does not have that permission from me.”
Perfect! I like this guy!
“She will not die. She does not have that permission from me.”
Sounds like a senior Navy officer to me. 🙂
Sounds like my father to me.
