This is a hell of a note:

Arizona shooting survivor Jim Fuller has been charged with threats and intimidation and will apparently be charged with disorderly conduct after an incident at an ABC Town Hall taping.

Death threat at ABC-TV Town Hall event Saturday

From the article,,,,

Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

According to sheriff’s deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, “You’re Dead.”

Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room.

Pima County Sheriff’s spokesman Jason Ogan said later Saturday that Fuller has been charged with threats and intimidation and he also will be charged with disorderly conduct.


Damn. I guess it’s not surprising. I wasn’t thrilled with his appearance on Democracy Now. He might be suffering some trauma but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he’s as rabid as the people he opposes.
