A victim wounded in the Arizona shooting was arrested this weekend for threatening a Tea Party spokesperson. The victim, James Eric Fuller, was arrested for allegedly photographing Trent Humphries and shouting, “You’re dead.” The outburst came at a town hall meeting in Tucson where Humphries had said any debate over gun control should wait until after the slain victims’ funerals. A 63-year-old disabled veteran, Fuller was shot in the knee and back during the shooting. In a Democracy Now! interview one day before his arrest, Fuller said right-wing opposition to gun control enabled the Arizona attack.

James Eric Fuller: “The first thing that I wrote down and what my reaction was to it was: 'How many other people? How many other demented people are out there? It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target. Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled—senseless hatred leading to murder, lunatic fringe anarchism, subscribed to by John Boehner, mainstream rebels with vengeance for all.'”
