Does anyone know the bystanders name who tackled the gunman, Jared Loughner, who shot congresswoman of Tucson Arizona Gabrielle Giffords?
Answer: We still do not know the answer to this but Daniel Hernandez is the latest hero in this tragedy. As everyone on hand waited for emergency medical support to arrive, Hernandez held Giffords’s head in his lap and applied pressure to her wound likely saving her. “Daniel Hernandez is the young intern credited with saving Giffords life.”
Before the day got going she tweeted that she would be doing a Congress on Your Corner and invited people to come by.
She tweeted: “My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later.” – @rep_giffords
Whoever he was he is a hero for tackling the gun man. This gunman shot and killed a child, volunteers, and wounded Giffords using a pistol at a four foot range directly aiming at each persons head. The shooting happened at a Tucson Arizona Safeway grocery store.
The gun man was aiming at peoples heads in multiple assassination attempts. Another gunman in the crowd opened fire on the assassin but ultimately a bystander tackled and captured the assassin.
The congress woman is alive and responding to commands after a bullet entered through her temple and out another side of her head.
The suspect is a white 22 year old male. The man has been identified as Jared Laughner. Some news stations say Jared Loughner was in the military but the US military has not been able to verify he ever served in the military.

Gabrielle Giffords not Gifford is considered a gun rights advocate, pro-choice, 2nd amendment supporter, Blue Dog Democrat, only congress woman with active military spouse, youngest woman ever elected to house, grew up in Tucson, 3rd term Democrat, married to astronaut Mark Kelly, wants increased Arizona Mexico border security, Cornell graduate, Scripps University graduate, used to be a Republican and is known to listen to her constituents in the 8th district of Arizona frequently holding town hall style meetings at a local grocery store.
Listen to congress woman Giffords reading the US constitution: Listen now
Jared Loughner on Youtube- “my favorite activity is conscience draining…some of us don’t dream…my hope is for you to be literate…comprehend English grammar…in conclusion…informing illiterate dreamers about a new currency…in a few days you’ll know I’m conscience dreaming…reading the 2nd United States Constitution the government is implying mind control and brainwashing on the people by controlling grammar I won’t pay debt with a currency that is not backed by gold and silver no I will not trust in God…”
“The population of dreamers is less then 5% in the US”
Jared Loughner’s favorite books are Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
He was given a Bible at his military recruiting station and did not like that. He has an issue with the governments use of grammar to manipulate the population, whatever that means.
I haven’t been able to put this guy in any type of stereotype box other then crazy. He definitely doesn’t fall into the Tea Party category. Tea Partier’s are baby boomer bible belt type of people. He hates religion and Christianity and admires communism and the thinking of Hitler.
His last thing he wrote was on myspace and was: “goodbye friends”
Arizona Shooting Victim James Eric Fuller is Himself Arrested
January 17th, 2011What a difference a week makes! The news has been surreal of late. We had one nut case finally losing it and opening fire on a crowd of defenseless people killing six, including a federal judge and a nine year old girl. A handful more are wounded, including a sitting U. S. Congresswoman. Following the tragedy, we have certain members of the national press and local officials, including a strangely unprofessional law enforcement officer, attempting to blame the political opposition for inciting the mad man’s actions. Next we have a memorial service for the lost in which the crowd behaves like a bunch of football fans at the Super bowl. And finally, the government of the State of Arizona is forced to move in order to block the protests of another group of crazies from protesting at the funerals of the victims. What is going on in our country?
Well the strange news stories continue. It turns out that Tucson shooting victim has himself been arrested and hospitalized after publicly threatening the life of Tucson Tea Party founder Trent Humphries, over the weekend. Now it sounds like James Eric Fuller may himself be a little unbalanced. He’s definitely had a rough couple of weeks. I hope he gets the help he needs; (it seems like I’ve heard myself saying that a lot lately). But I cannot begin to imagine how this story would have been treated by the press had he been a conservative. Mr. Fuller has recently appeared on numerous leftward leaning programs and websites, including the radical “Media Matters” where he blamed among others, Sarah Palin for the actions of lunatic shooter Jared Lee Loughner. Now I am not suggesting that his actions are typical of those of his political stripe, but I am suggesting that there is an obvious double standard between how the left is depicted in the media versus anyone else. The evidence is mounting that Lougher is merely insane with no political persuasion at all. Yet he was immediately (and unsuccessfully) labeled as a Tea Party member and talk radio listener. What’s more no one comes anywhere near blaming the media for firing up Fuller’s rage against prominent conservatives even though he had been directly impacted by the Tucson tragedy and was certainly very vulnerable to anti- conservative rhetoric.
Ok look I’m not honestly blaming the left for Mr. Fuller’s disorderly behavior. We all have our own issues and hang ups in life. But those are our individual issues. The sooner we all take responsibility for our own actions, insist others do the same and stop pointing the finger at those with no culpability, the better off we will be.
