I think "You're Dead" might trump a map with cross hair graphics...

I guess shooting victim, J. Eric Fuller didn't get Prs. Obama's "Come Together" memo. While taping for an up coming episode of "This Week". Fuller apparently didn't like the idea of putting off any discussion about gun control until the victims killed in the attack were buried.
He took a picture of Tea Party activist, Trent Humphries and yelled "You're Dead!"
Fuller has been arrested, but police say that if Trent Humphries chooses not to press charges, he will be released.
The US military veteran and self avowed liberal has been taken to a local hospital for mental evaluation.
As a fellow vet, I am hoping that this was just an emotional response to a pretty rough situation. But I'm also glad they aren't simply ignoring a direct threat to someone's life. Personally, I hope he's ok, and Humphries chooses not to press charges.
I do think this trumps any vague political imagery though.

Yes, he does need help, but he will probably just become some left wing folk hero and no one will even offer the help he needs.

hi parated I think you are right, it does indeed. Also
I hope this Trent Humphries does not pull charges. After
what he as a vet had gone through then being shot by
a whacko,its probably just an emotional response like you
say. We do not any of us know what exactly he might have
faced as a military man. War I know does dreadful hings
to men's minds with flash backs.I have friend who would
react oddly to planes flying over, shiveriong and crawing
under a table. He had been badly wounded in the second world
war.

I heard about this today and I, too, hope Humphries doesn't press charges. The man went through something horrible and nobody could convince me that he isn't still suffering from it. I think anyone would be a bit irrational if that happened to them--I know I would. All those survivors have to be in their own little hell right now.

But if he starts showing any indications of wanting to put Humphries through the same "something horrible", old war vet or not, they should respond swiftly.
