I haven’t posted on the shooting in Arizona by a crazed young man that killed Judge John Roll ,63; Dorthy Murray, 76; Dorwin Stoddard, 76; Christina Greene, 9; Phyllis Scheck, 79; and Gabriel Zimmerman, 30, and has Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded in intensive care.
I find the story profoundly depressing.
Depressing not only because of the victims, but particularly because of the politization that has ensued, where even faded celebrities with exercise videos to sell have jumped into the fray.
Let’s lift Congresswoman Gifford, the other victims, and all their loved ones in our prayers.
