Tamerlan Tsarnaev on Nanny Bloomberg’s list of gun violence victims
The New Hampshire Union Leader reports that at a rally in Concord, gun grabbing advocates included Boston Marathon bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in their symbolic reading of names of victims of gun violence since Sandy Hook. The advocates were sponsored by Nanny Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Of course, it wasn’t their fault the murderer was included, they say;
The Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign put out a statement Wednesday saying rally organizers relied on a list compiled by Slate.com of people killed by guns since the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., “and his name was on the list.”
The gun control group’s statement said the rally, which began last Friday, features volunteers, survivors of gun violence and family members of those shot and killed reading the names of “victims since the Newtown tragedy to show the very real and personal cost of gun violence, and to help prevent more names from being added to a list that tragically grows longer each day.”
Tsarnaev “was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read. It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize,” the statement said.
Dinguses…or is it Dingi? I guess none of the names meant anything to them, they just read the names out without thinking about who the people were…only the number of dead people mattered to the little kool-aid guzzlers.
By the way, Organizing for Action, which spun off from Obama For America had an anti-gun rally in San Bernardino, CA which attracted almost more than three people;
The protest drew three members of Organizing for Action, a nonprofit group that supports President Barack Obama’s agenda, to the National Orange Show Events Center.
“It’s three people today, but it will be 23 next time, and we’ll see the time after that,” Lewis said.
Yeah, 23 would be overwhelming, too.

good thing Hassan will ride the needle express…. if he went via firing squad, they would probably read his name too.
I’m surprised they didn’t wait until Tsarnaev is tried and convicted before issuing that apology.
Nobody was worried about the little terrorist being a victim of gun violence when they were quaking in their homes, waiting for him to be caught.
Morons.
goin with ‘dingi
I wonder how many of the people on that list were killed by previously-incarcerated felons? Interesting that these folks are focusing all their lobbying on guns, rather than on keeping violent felons behind bars where they belong.
John,
How did you like that double tap?
I was so freaking pissed could hardly type.
And the article on the idiot who got tased was not helpful.
This Kindle auto correct has a mind of its own…
“Jonn”
So … Wonder how many other “victims” were criminals killed by either the police or armed citizens.
Kinda screams for a rally reading names of all those saved because they were armed. Of course, we don’t have $$ billions to collect that sort of data. Perhaps someone should think about doing it anyway. Guarantee it would be more than 23 names the first time around, and many more the next time.
@9 If you were to compile and read off such a list, these nutjobs would just copy that list and make a stink about “These people have guns!” as if they were criminals in need of being outed.
3 or 23 or 2300… numbers don’t matter when you’ve the IRS coming after you, the FBI looking the other way, and your neighbors hoping they aren’t next…
Tells you all you need to know about the leftist a$$holes at Slate.com…
@ #19: Yeah, well there is that, of course. Personally, I see no problem with finding out an approximate number and simply making up that many names to read. In reality, I would not be comfortable reading the names of real people without their permission to do so. And since truth seems to have lost out to making a political point these days, let them just try to vilify names of persons who do not exist.
While this fellow was shot by the police, he should be on the list of those killed in traffic accidents. After all, it was his brother driving over him with a Mercedes Benz SUV that killed him. The bullets knocked him down, but that two ton SUV sent him to hell.
No surprise here.
Liberals quantify, not qualify.
King Bloomberg with his 24/7 bodyguard detail does not recognize the right of the “little” people to self defense and the means with which to perform it.
TMB, believe it or not, my comment #13 was really directed to your #10. (Am now looking very carefully to see how many typos are in THIS post!)
To put it another way, if you excluded the Massholes and other assorted cocksucking flatlanders, you’d have enough room in a phone booth for them and a couple of friends.
Most folks in NH don’t care for outsiders trying to take their guns.
@3. Nice one, PN!
@9. Precisely my first thought. Counter really in which the names of the saved are read.
Jonn asks, “Dinguses or dingi?” On the one hand, dinguses sounds similar to but has the opposite meaning of geniuses. On the other, dingi favors the sound and meaning of fungi. That’s a toss up. Both work.
@18 There’s a bunch of us in the western part of Mass who would like to find a legal way to separate from this state…then we could actually charge for the water being stolen from the flooding of 4 towns…
3 people this time 23 next time…wow talk about your math challenged organizers..clearly the concept of statistically insignificant escapes them.
What kills me is they think Senator Ayotte is somehow “vulnerable” even though she isn’t up for re-election until 2016.
Queen Jeanne the Spending Machine, OTOH, is up next year, and there’s a LOT of people who were mightily pissed over her vote for the gun registration, etc., along with her call for investigation of Tea Party organizations, etc.
Toopid.
@ #5 – there was a classic bit in Jeff Cooper’s ‘Guns & Ammo’ column once where he made exactly that point – the Bloombergs of the world act as if everyone shot for any reason was an altar-boy, a tragic loss to society. In reality, the vast majority of the time you have Crip A shooting MS13er B, both of whom are pimples on society’s ass and each having rap sheets like rolls of toilet paper. Bluntly…. no great loss except to their immediate families.
You also have the skewed stats – that “gunshots are a primary cause of death in children” – but they define children as anyone under the age of TWENTY-FIVE! Change the definition to somethng realistic, like maybe age 16, and the picture changes radically.
@23–and pull the gang-banger “yutes” out of that, and it becomes even MORE dramatic.
More kids under 5 drown in buckets than are killed by firearms. Hmmmmm…
Victim of “gun violence”? More like “retarded brother’s lousy car-driving violence” there, but what’re details when you want to punsish people fo defending themselves so they’re cowed into being helpless, eh Bloomberg?
Memo to Bloomy: I’ll give up my guns when your bodyguards give up theirs, you fucking elitest tard.
This is good stuff guys, thanks
