Dupnik: "Spring in the magazine failed"
Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 01:25 PM by justiceischeap
That's the only reason why he wasn't able to wound more people. Inserted 2nd magazine when spring failed.

5. Sarah was probably yelling that she should have been helping him
put the magazine in the gun.

Is that the kinda of rhetoric that the left is accused of making?

3. I want to know who the wounded woman was...
who tried to wrestle the gun away. Amazing! Of course I want to know who the two guys were, also, but this woman seemed to be the first to try and stop him. All this takes a lot of courage. Our instinct is to hide and keep from getting shot - and there's nothing wrong with that, but I also wonder at what makes people directly confront a threat, even when wounded.

7. Sheriff Dupnik said the gun had run out of bullets and
she tried to grab it after she was shot. Loughner was trying to reload and actually loaded it but it jammed and two men jumped on him.

10. Once you determine someone will kill you if you don't act, you act.
There was no place to hide. I speak as a four-time mugging victim with no physical courage at all. Being attacked can make you mean.

9. He's probably at the end of his career
When you're 74ish, you tend to speak your mind.
