Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot at a store where she was meeting her constituents.  She might be dead.

I can't write anymore, I can't think.

Fuck.  I hope everyone's ok, especially her.

All I can say, is if you've had an election, and you go forth and shoot the person elected, you're not the voice of the people, just an assassin.

EDIT:  She's actually dead, at least that's what it sounds like.

EDIT: Actually she's alive, but very seriously wounded, including a head wound and is in surgery.  Now she's out of surgery, awake, and responding to commands. Thank Gods.  But other people are dead. :(

*nods* Fuck, I was so glad to see your edit saying she's alive. I pray with all my heart that she makes it from here and recovers her health. Poor, poor woman...

I know. I'm so glad she's alive. Thanks a lot for your thoughts.

The Red Cross called for an emergency blood drive today to replenish the type O blood used during the patching up of all those people. My mom and I got together and went. There was a huge line and a wait time of 3 1/2 hours. At one center. Amazing.
