So how does a man with two bullet wounds get arrested for free speech when high profile republicans and elected representatives do the same thing and are not even chastized??? crap
It was the first time most of them had been together since Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a Safeway parking lot, killing 6, and wounding or injuring 14 others -- a rampage that happened one week earlier almost to the hour. On the platform with Amanpour were Col. Bill Badger, who helped tackle gunman Jared Lee Loughner; Daniel Hernandez, who ran to help wounded Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords while most people were ducking for cover, Patricia Maisch, who grabbed a magazine away from Loughner; Bill Hileman, whose wife, Susan, is still recovering from gunshot wounds. On the front row was Kenneth Dorushka, who was shot shielding his wife from Loughner's gunfire; and J. Eric Fuller, who was shot in the knee. Read the whole story here.

Newsbusters' report notes that ABC's coverage omitted the fact that Humphries is a leader of Tucson's Tea Party movement.

01/15/2011 9:13 PM ET Trent Humphries, Subject Of Fuller's Threats, Claims Tea Party A Victim Of Shootings In an interview with the Guardian, Trent Humphries, co-founder of Tucson's Tea Party and subject of shooting victim Eric Fuller's violent threats, discussed why he thought the tragedy in Arizona has evolved into a "conspiracy to destroy his organization."
Yes, amazing how careful they are to make sure this poor guy is "involuntarily committed" when they didn't do a darn thing about the Tea Party OR Jared Loughner. Apparently it's not so hard to involuntarily commit someone, so why didn't someone do it to Loughner before he did so much harm?
The topic of gun control was brought up, the politician daced around it saying *now is not the time* & the gentleman who had recently been shot said some thing like * you're dead*....
UPDATE: (Reuters) - A victim wounded in the January 8 shooting spree in Arizona was ordered by a judge on Tuesday to keep his distance from a local Tea Party leader he was accused of threatening over the weekend.
The protective order obtained by Tucson Tea Party founder Trent Humphries against James Eric Fuller stems from a confrontation between the two men during Saturday's taping of a town hall edition of the ABC News program "This Week."
Sheriff's department spokesman Jason Ogan said on Tuesday afternoon it was unclear when Fuller's 72-hour holding period would officially lapse or whether he had yet been released.
Ogan said criminal charges accusing Fuller of threats, intimidation and disorderly conduct would be presented this week to the county attorney's office, which will decide whether to prosecute the case.
Humphries said he felt ambivalent about the situation.
"Based on the lessons that we have just learned about past law enforcement contacts with Jared Loughner and how he was never 'flagged' because no legal complaints were ever filed, I do believe that care should be taken before dismissing all charges against Mr. Fuller," Humphries wrote in an email on Sunday night.
yeah Fran...there is much in this event that is concerning....unreal....poor guy does need help and counseling, I also wonder WHY the Tea party was even invited to the event...but shame on ABC....
( I have not been able to find out anything about Fuller his legal case of his hospitalization or access to care...)
