After the shooting this past weekend, many questions about the country's future political state are unclear. Gabrielle Giffords, a congresswoman from Arizona, was shot in the head while talking to her constituents. Doctors say she is currently "holding her own," but is still in critical condition.
She was shot by what investigators are saying is considered a "social outcast." Three years prior, he attended one of her question and answer sessions. He got the chance to ask her a question, but friends say he was angered by her response. He felt she just repeated the question but did not answer the question.
The shooter is registered as an independent, and did vote in the 2008 presidential election. His website told of more information, like how he thought he was under government surveillance. He also felt that he could not trust the American government and feared the government was beginning to brainwash the people by controlling the grammar.
I feel that this country is great because of the diversity it offers. However, when extremists, like the shooter in this situation, feel they have to take their beliefs in their own hands it makes me worried for the future of this country.
