The shooting-On January 8, 2011, a trip to the market turned deadly when Jared Lee Loughner , a 22 year old college drop out, gunned down a crowd of people in the market parking lot. Loughner killed 6 and wounded 13. Among the 6 killed was a nine year old, and among the injured was Representatve Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot point blank above the eyebrow. Laughter was arrested on the scene and is now facing five federal counts. I would like to blame gun laws for allowing this crazy man to have a gun, but can't. It's not the gun laws that made him do this, he did it on his own. The gun may have actually killed the 6 people, but the gun needed its' trigger pulled. This guy is an American citizen who took his rights for granted, and now, because he broke the laws, he is getting his rights revoked. This guy deserves whatever the law throws at him.
The governors comments-LePage was not planning on attending some of the events scheduled for Martin Luther King Day, causing some "media attention". When responding to all of this attention, LePage simply said "Tell them to kiss my butt". I felt that this was very unprofessional of him. It would have been different if he was talking with one of his friends, but this was publicly announced, and makes him look bad.
