Shooting victim ordered away from Tea Party leader

TUCSON, Arizona (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."

Fuller, 63, who survived gunshots to the knee and back from the deadly rampage 10 days ago, grew agitated at remarks made by Humphries, then stood up to snap a photo of the conservative political activist and shouted, "You're dead," police said.

Fuller was taken into custody by Pima County sheriff's deputies and involuntarily committed for 72 hours of psychiatric evaluation.

1. How about banning Humphries from contacting anyone?

I like that idea better.

2. a local business less than half a mile from me put up a "Don't Tread On Me" flag ...

not exactly sure when, but it was recent.

I wonder how they'd feel if someone put a



on their window ...
