Police Seize ‘Large Amount’ Of Weapons From Blogger Who Praised Gifffords Shooting: ‘1 Down And 534 To Go’

"Police in Arlington, MA this week seized a “large amount” of weapons and ammunition from local businessman Travis Corcoran after he wrote a blog post threatening U.S. lawmakers in the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).

In a post on his blog (which has since been removed) titled “1 down and 534 to go” — 1 referring to Giffords and 534 referring to the rest of the House of Representatives and the Senate — Corcoran applauded the shooting of Giffords and justified the assassination of lawmakers because he argued the federal government has grown far beyond its constitutional limits.

“It is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable to shoot indiscriminately. Target only politicians and their staff and leave regular citizens alone,” he wrote in the post."

OK well at least he is focused on what he percieves as his enemy.... got to give him SOME credit for not wanting to kill little kids along the way.

Personally, all the hoopla on this really gets to me. How many people are murdered every year in the US? How many get this much attention? Why is Gifford or any other politico more important than anyone else? Don't they 'paint a target' on themselves when they run for office? Assume nororiety and thus risk? The six year old killed at that funeral the other day did not, but you don't see anyone fussing over her.

Our priorities are all jacked up.

Nope. Just caught my eye the other day when browsing different news sights.

Please tell me you aren't so silly as to question the validity. I guarantee you people have been murdered since Giffords was shot....

I'll see if I can find something on it...

AHA! Here.... 6-Year-Old Boy Shot While Attending Candlelight Vigil - FoxNews.com

Kid wasn't killed I guess, I just saw the headline out the corner of my eye at first. But still...

Here we have a 6 YO at a candle light vigil and he gets shot in the chest... an innocent victim of the every day violence endemic in our cities... and yet we all freak and focus on some nutjob wacko who happened to target a politician....

Our priorities are all jacked up.

Corcoran, who has no criminal history, has not been arrested and does not face any charges. Arlington police saying they are working with the Capitol Police in their investigation, and members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation have been alerted.

...but his property was seized and his constitutional rights were rescinded.

Something Nonno can cheer about.
