Irony

One of the 19 victims of last week's shooting in Tucson was arrested yesterday after standing up during a town hall-style meeting and shouting, "You're dead!" to the leader of the Tucson tea party. The victim, J. Eric Fuller, has been charged with disorderly conduct and making a threat, and was involuntarily committed to undergo a mental health evaluation, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

In other words, the one Tucson shooting victim who was running around blaming the Tea Party for the Tucson shooting is himself engaging in politically motivated violence against the Tea Party. Will the media now stop quoting, encouraging and applauding this guy?
