[quote:Plautus:MV8xMzI4NDA1XzIyMDYyOTIxX0UxMUM2MjZC] "[b][face=Verdana]Don’t jump to conclusions[/face][/b]" http://unlvrebelyell.com/2011/01/27/don%E2%80%99t-jump-to-conclusions/ [color=darkblue]This is one tabloid headline people should pay attention to. [/color] "Yet, for me, as this tragedy unfolded on Jan. 8 and in the days following, I intensely studied the reaction of the traditional media. More importantly, I studied how and what the media reported about the incident." [color=darkblue]Hmm, I guess I'm not the only one who's been carefully analyzing the media coverage of this event. That's encouraging. [/color] "Based on that one fact, the media narrative became something akin to this: Was the shooter part of the Tea Party?" [color=darkblue]Oh, he's just upset the "Tea Party" had some mud thrown at them. D'oh! [/color] "The night of the shooting, retired General Wesley Clark said on CNN, “[b]The important thing is for everyone not to jump to conclusions[/b].” “[b]We cannot jump to conclusions[/b],” said CNN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell that same evening. “We have to make sure that we [b]do not jump to any conclusions whatsoever[/b].”" [color=darkblue]So a lot of people said "don't jump to conclusions" but then jumped to the immediate conclusion that the lone nut theory was right. Are repeaters really this gullible to think every political assassination is done by a "lone nut"? [/color] "Even Obama, in an incoherent speech immediately after the incident, urged everyone to [b]not jump to conclusions[/b]." [color=darkblue]I guess the President himself urging people not to jump to conclusions doesn't work. [/color] "Perhaps the new tagline for places like CNN should be, “Who are you going to believe — me or your lying eyes?”" [color=darkblue]Indeed.[/color] [/quote]
Original Message
I've noticed virtually everyone seems to have accepted that Lougher was the trigger man in the mass murder in Tucson. I've compiled all the witness statements and I'm not convinced that's the case. The main reason is one of the 911 calls indicates the shooter fled the scene. All of the witnesses hit the pavement or took a bullet when the shooting started. Many of them claim to remember nothing. Virtually all of them report hearing the shots but not seeing the shots. I think there was another shooter there, that Loughner is just a patsy. There are many other reasons that I think this but the initial reason was the 911 report and fact that initially the police were looking for an accomplice, as they were unconvinced Loughner had carried out this attack alone.
