• one more death has been confirmed in the attack on rep. gabrielle giffords. John Roll, the chief federal judge for the state of Arizona, was amongst those killed, Talking Points Memo reports. Roll was issued death threats back in 2009, after allowing a controversial civil rights lawsuit to proceed, and was given a month’s worth of protection detail. What an insane, tragic day. To the families and victims of those involved, our sincere thoughts are with you. source
