Even better news: Law passed to ban picketing at Tuscon funerals Well, it's about freaking time! :)angeldeb82

Good, but unfortunately, laws can't be stricter to completely stop them.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"]Congresswoman raises two fingers, gives thumbs up She was shot in the head at point blank range, the bullet went straight through her brain, she survived, and she's giving a thumbs-up from the hospital bed. This woman has bigger balls than Teddy Roosevelt. Wanderer5

Wow it amazing that she survive.

Same. Apparently my medical knowledge isn't exactly the best, as I thought it was not possible to survive a bullet right through the brain.

It depends, 9mm isn't that big of a round, but a shot to the head is still very serious. Whatsaved her was that intern who provided first aid to the Congresswoman after she was shot. He was one of the heroes of that day.

Worse has happened. If I recall, nearly a century back, a railroad worker had a long pipe blown clear through his head, and survived. The doctor was able to stick his entire hand through the top part of his head, his other hand through his jaw, and feel his fingertips. The man was still able to walk, talk, eat etc. afterwards.

*EDIT* My estimates regarding the time of the incident's occurrence were way off, but I was right about what happened. Ladies and gents, Mr. Phineas Gage.

There is always a possibility.... IN medical marvels there is a guy who survived getting stabbed in their forehead by a combat knife.. It was down to the hilt lodged into his brain down the middle.. He survived with no brain damage (well it didn't effect him) but yeah..

We need to stop covering these people in news reports. We didn't hear a peep from them in the media until 2006 when they started picketing. The best way to get rid of attention whores like this is to stop giving them air time or even acknowledge they exist.
