This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Congresswoman Giffords was on Sarah Palin's hit list. There is a graphic going around that Sarah had on her website (she took it down today after the shooting) with the names of 17 democrats she wanted taken out. There were gun sights over each of their district's. Sickos!

I hope that Phil doesn't pretend to be a Christian. He appears to be saying that it's OK to try and kill someone you disagree with politically.

Palin's irrelevant my ass;
Congresswoman Giffords own words during the campaign, ""They really need to realize that the rhetoric and firing people up, and, you know, even things for example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gunsight over our district. When people do that, you gotta realize there's consequences to that action."

This goes beyond what the motivations were of this shooter.
We need to look into a our hearts and determine whether or not hateful rhetoric in the interest of gaining political advantage combined with the actions of this man today will cause other ginned up fringe people with guns to run around shooting others believing that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, or that we don't retreat we reload.

Blaming the tea party and Palin is another RahmBO move, never let an opportunity go to waste.
You're wanting to make Gifford a martyr instead of a victim?
In an group there are extremists.
There are plenty of left wing zealots who use violence. Before you say no, the animal rights crusaders sending bombs to UCLA professors come to mind.
99% of any group is normal, it's that 1% that is always a question mark.
I think, more than anything, this is a time for people to step back and see what the divisive and vitriolic political agenda of BOTH major parties has created. Blaming Palin and/or the Tea Party is just adding fuel to the fire.
I'm sure though the left, led by Olbermann and Maddow, will use this to push a divisive agenda, and sheeps on the left will follow.

I hope you're kidding, but it not, let's examine real life:
a) When deranged "christians" go nuts and harm innocent people, 99.99 percent of others who claim to be Christian immediately condemn the act, say it's against their religion to do so, (and help track down, try, convict, and sometimes fry them as part of the jobs).
b) When deranged liberals go nuts and kill people, the remaining (not-so deranged) liberals say it was SOCIETY'S fault because he was a "victim of [fill-in-societal-ill], and it would have NEVER happened if conservatives just agreed to spend more money on tax-paid social programs. Once caught, some of those same liberals try to get the killer off scot-free.
c) When deranged, violent muslims go nuts and kill innocent people, millions of other muslims worldwide celebrate in the streets in dozens of third-world countries, Imam's say it was "Allah's will", and Muslim politicians act like they didn't see a thing. (OH, and the aforementioned liberals condemn anyone who refers to them as "muslim terrorists")
So, who are the "freaks" here by most civilized standards? A, B, or C?
If you answered "A" join the ranks of the completely deranged, and turn in your own handgun, before liberals have to start making excuses for you..

I don't know how much of this vile shooting can be blamed on heated rhetoric. People have been saying horrid things about politicians since the beginning of time. Leaders have been assassinated without any rhetoric flying back and forth.
What is different now than in the pre internet past is the velocity and availability of hateful rhetoric.
Society has always had wackos, but now they have ready access to voices that spark violent action on their parts. The messages they are listening to are not calls for violence, but they have just enough edge for disturbed minds to interpret them as such. Just imagine how much worse the Son of Sam would have been had the internet existed during his murder spree.
That's the the price we are paying for 24/7 connectivity.
What can we do about it? This site or others cannot control extreme remarks (like PJ's) made on Facebook or other sites. But we can curtail the attention we give these fringe political wannabes.
So let's stop feeding the beast and knock off the endless senseless threads about PJ - they only encourage him and others of his ilk.
And let's pray for the many victims of this crime instead.

PHIL YOU FUCKING MORON! THIS DEMOCRAT WAS AGAINST OBAMA! SHE VOTED AGAINST PELOSI! SHE IS PRO CHOICE AND PRO GUN RIGHTS! YOU ARE THE DUMBEST FUCK ON THE PLANET!
Higby,
What YOUR "FRIEND" WHO YOU SAID WAS "SMART" doesn't know that this Congresswoman is AGAINST Obamacare; she is PRO CHOICE; and she is PRO GUN RIGHTS.
So here is this woman, who voted AGAINST NANCY PELOSI, to lead the minority in the House, and Phil comes up with THIS CRAP?
YOU were the person who gave Phil his platform. YOU were warned about his STUPIDITY a thousand times. YOU emboldened him by calling your blog "rough & tumble."
How is that working out for you?
Are you ready to declare him even worse a moron than Haikula, Cummins and Dogg? Why not PERMANENTLY BAND THIS DICKHEAD?
Unless you think it's really worth the hassle. Shut him out forever. You'll be the last person to realize this, but at least you'll have come to your senses.

And Red Spot, you're dumber than everyone EXCEPT Phil. This woman was a CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT.

The woman was a CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT. Both Phil AND Red Snot are true morons. She used to be a Republican, but she remained conservtive. She voted against Pelosi for House minority leader. She spoke out against Obamacare.
For some reason, your dopey friend Phil doesn't read. I hope this gives you pause about the types of people who you let post things on your blog. Joe B. is a moron and bully, but at least he is just an opinionated jackass. But Phil and Red Snot are just plain stupid.

YES you should ban his name altogether. If anyone wants to refer to this IDIOT you can call him PJ, so his name doesn't come up in google searches.
You should really retract everything positive you wrote about him. Besides, he is a LAST PLACE LOSER who STOLE money from RECALL City HALL. You and I both know it.

Phil has done himself in. What you must do to a guy like this is the following:
If Phil ever surfaces to the spotlight again either by running for office, putting his name out there or speaking at a public meeting, the blogger or the meeting moderator needs to remind the public as to what Phil said on this day.
That's all you have to do.

By comparison to this DICKHEAD, Red Spot seems relatively innocuously stupid. But Phil Jennerjahn is an ASSHOLE who spends Facebook time writing about Filet o' Fish. Great pick for a blog contributor, Mayor SAm.

I would not at all be surprised if at some point, it was Phil Jennerjahn who shows up with a gun somewhere to shoot and further "make me semi known."
I'm sure "NOONE" on the blog would be surprised to hear this, too. If I had to pick which person Phil Jennerjahn would do this to, it would be Richard Alarcon. It would not surprise anyone.

Yes, please keep him off of here. Having him on here as a joke is one thing, but this has gone too far. He does nothing to better any situation or circumstance. His constant calling others dark and evil is the kettle calling itself black. I find him and his ilk rather scary.

He needs to be zapped out of this blog. He deserves no recognition of any kind.
I,too, thought of him as a potential source of gun violence. Scary thought, so I didn't voice it earlier. He should receive no more encouragement here, lest he use it as a source and blame for negative actions.
Phil Genderbong said:
The more the news tells us about this nutty gunman, the more he sounds like Phil Jennerjahn, with his anti-government stance, blaming others for his failures, etc.
I join the chorus of those who say they'd not be surprised if Phil were to show up somewhere someday to find him shooting at the elected officials which he so dearly craved to be.
I hope security at City Hall give Phil Jennerjahn a pat-down next time he shows up at its doorstep.
Anonymous said:
Genderbong, that's a great idea. I'm going to email city hall security to warn them about phil and point to his mad rants here and on the web. It was bad enough when Phil stole recall city hall money and gambled it away. But I'm truly afraid that he'll go postal one of these days, and he sounds more desperate now than ever.
I wouldn't be surprised to see KCAL9 burst into the Lakers broadcast and say that a gunman named Phil is shooting up la city hall.
Ha ha ha

There's also no need to wait until the shooter is captured. He was held and captured on the scene.
She must not have even listened to the news before writing.

"There's no conclusion to wait for. Their lives are already concluded."
IMHO, The Conclusion is: A completed investigation into the reason behind his heinous act and if there was, or was not, a conspiracy, instead of speculating, placing blame and spewing hate on anyone that's convenient.
"He was held and captured on the scene. She must not have even listened to the news before writing."
You are correct; I'm sick and only awake a limited amount of time between meds so I don't know all the facts either. But, I do know that energy is being wasted concerning PJ, when these victims are in need our prayers.

Please, stop with your stupid remark Phil. How can you really blame President Obama or the Democrats. Is a very sad time for the USA, and my prayers go to the victims and their family. If anyone could be the blame is Sara Palin, she is inresponsible, her statements can be pick up by any mental person on the edge and follow through. Palin is ignorant to big cities, she lives in a world so much different than the average American. She only knows about hunting, but has no clue in the harm a gun in the wrong hands will have. Specialy in a city whether is Tucson Arizona, or California, New York, Texas, guns kill innocent people. Look at her pose with a gun, she does not know what she is doing.
