DJP Update 1-10-2011 Tucson murders – need psychiatrists and not the self-styled pundits on TV

The murders in Tucson are a horrific event.  Politicians and talking heads on TV need to deal with the evidence and reality and not spin causation theories for political gain.
Let the real experts of the mind, the psychiatrists, examine this murderer to determine if he is a paranoid schizophrenic and delusional.
Two articles listed below, one in the Wall Street Journal and the other in the Washington Post,  I found of interest condemning the instant pointing of fingers.  I tweeted both of them, one was a retweet of a tweet that another doctor tweeted first.

DJP Comment: Remember, as President Kennedy said, Civility is not a sign of weakness.  As I have stated many times and in my AMA Inaugural address, my Mom taught me that as a child long before the President said it.  Argue the facts and where the facts lead.  Don’t attack the person.

Prayers for the recovery of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the others injured.  R.I.P. those murdered.  Sad.

Stay well.  Be careful.

Donald
