What a jerk.
Pima County AZ Sheriff Clarence Dupnik blamed the “prejudice and vitriol” in Arizona for the shooting today.
For the record: The shooter and the victims were white.
Here was Sheriff Putnik.
“But again I’d just like to say that when you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain people’s mouths about tearing down the government, the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I believe has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”
What a complete jerk.
Today’s shooting had absolutely nothing to do with racism and bigotry.
This is the same sheriff who vowed not to enforce Arizona’s new immigration law.
Of course, the AP published this partisan sheriff’s comments.
