It was disturbing this weekend to see the attempted assassination of US House Rep Gabrielle Giffords<\/a> (D-AZ) — in which a 9 year old girl lost her life — devolve into a game of political gotcha within minutes.<\/p>\n

Because Giffords was a pro-abortion Democrat who defeated a “Tea Party” candidate just a few weeks ago, some pointed at right-wing “AM radio-listening<\/a>” pro-life extremists<\/a>.\u00a0 When the alleged shooter’s internet ramblings started to become public — in which he appears to be a confused socialist and ambiguously anti-religion — the speculation went from “conservative fundamentalist” to “lunatic.”\u00a0 Apparently because to be “left wing” or “atheist” and responsible for a murderous rampage would be inherently crazy.<\/p>\n

To this point, there is no evidence the alleged shooter jumped up on a table and yelled an ideological statement before opening fire (though he apparently failed<\/a> in an attempt to join the US\u00a0Army<\/a>).\u00a0 No one knows this person’s motive or ideology; therefore, it is irresponsible to try to lay blame on speculation.<\/p>\n

Giffords is the wife<\/a> of US Navy fighter pilot, test pilot, and astronaut CAPT Mark Kelly<\/a>, currently slated to go up on the last shuttle mission to meet his twin brother at the Space Station<\/a> in just a few weeks.\u00a0 They have two children.<\/p>\n
