A True American

John Green, the father of nine-year old girl Christina Green, murdered by Jared Loughner last weekend:
"It shouldn't happen in this country, or anywhere else, but in a free society... we're going to be subject to people like this, so... I prefer this to the alternative."


I salute that man, and hold him in the highest respect for having the courage to say that.

  1. I salute that man, and hold him in the highest respect for having the courage to say that.

    As do I, especially in light of the loss of his daughter.

    Compare Mr. Green's courage and poise to this man's, who was wounded.

  2. John: yes, the comments attributed to Eric Fuller in that NR piece are disgusting.

  3. Mr Fagan, you are not even an American, so you should be a little bit more humble sir, no?
