Read this and weep -Mark Kelly's statement at the Jared Loughner court appearance today

<snip>

In court statement today from Mark Kelly, husband to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) during the court appearance today by Jared Lee Loughner, convicted in the mass murder in Arizona last year and for wounding Giffords, Rep. Ron Barber (D-AZ) and others…

“Mr. Loughner, for the first and last time, you are going to hear directly from Gabby and me about what you took away on January 8th, 2011 and, just as important, what you did not. So pay attention.

That bright and chilly Saturday morning, you killed six innocent people. Daughters and sons. Mothers and fathers. Grandparents and friends. They were devoted to their families, their communities, their places of worship.

Gabby would trade her own life to bring back any one of those you savagely murdered on that day. Especially young Christina-Taylor Green, whose high-minded ideas about service and democracy deserved a full life committed to advancing them. Especially 30-year old Gabe Zimmerman, whom Gabby knew well and cherished, and whose love for his family and his fiancee and service to his country were as deep as his loss is tragic. Especially Judge John Roll whom Gabby was honored to call a colleague and friend and from whose interminable dedication to our community and country she gained enormous inspiration. Gabby would give anything to take away the grief you visited upon the Morrises, the Schnecks, and the Stoddards – anything to heal the bodies and psyches of your other victims.

Congressmen, no remorse, no responsibility for having stirred up a deranged person to act out their hatred. Isn't there a name for this sort of terrorism?
