Who tackled the attempted assasin of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords?

January 8th, 2011

Congresswoman GiffordDoes anyone know the bystanders name who tackled the gunman, Jared Loughner, who shot congresswoman of Tucson Arizona Gabrielle Giffords?

Answer: We still do not know the answer to this but Daniel Hernandez is the latest hero in this tragedy. As everyone on hand waited for emergency medical support to arrive, Hernandez held Giffords’s head in his lap and applied pressure to her wound likely saving her. “Daniel Hernandez is the young intern credited with saving Giffords life.”

Before the day got going she tweeted that she would be doing a Congress on Your Corner and invited people to come by.

She tweeted: “My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later.” – @rep_giffords

Whoever he was he is a hero for tackling the gun man. This gunman shot and killed a child, volunteers, and wounded Giffords using a pistol at a four foot range directly aiming at each persons head. The shooting happened at a Tucson Arizona Safeway grocery store.

The gun man was aiming at peoples heads in multiple assassination attempts. Another gunman in the crowd opened fire on the assassin but ultimately a bystander tackled and captured the assassin.

The congress woman is alive and responding to commands after a bullet entered through her temple and out another side of her head.

Jared LoughnerThe suspect is a white 22 year old male. The man has been identified as Jared Laughner. Some news stations say Jared Loughner was in the military but the US military has not been able to verify he ever served in the military.

Mark KellyWho to follow: News @tylerdirectory Her husband astronaut Mark Kelly @shuttlecdrkelly and of course Gabrielle Giffords @rep_giffords

Gabrielle Giffords not Gifford is considered a gun rights advocate, pro-choice, 2nd amendment supporter, Blue Dog Democrat, only congress woman with active military spouse, youngest woman ever elected to house, grew up in Tucson, 3rd term Democrat, married to astronaut Mark Kelly, wants increased Arizona Mexico border security, Cornell graduate, Scripps University graduate, used to be a Republican and is known to listen to her constituents in the 8th district of Arizona frequently holding town hall style meetings at a local grocery store.

Listen to congress woman Giffords reading the US constitution: Listen now

Jared Loughner on Youtube- “my favorite activity is conscience draining…some of us don’t dream…my hope is for you to be literate…comprehend English grammar…in conclusion…informing illiterate dreamers about a new currency…in a few days you’ll know I’m conscience dreaming…reading the 2nd United States Constitution the government is implying mind control and brainwashing on the people by controlling grammar I won’t pay debt with a currency that is not backed by gold and silver no I will not trust in God…”

“The population of dreamers is less then 5% in the US”

Jared Loughner’s favorite books are Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, and Animal Farm by George Orwell.

He was given a Bible at his military recruiting station and did not like that. He has an issue with the governments use of grammar to manipulate the population, whatever that means.

I haven’t been able to put this guy in any type of stereotype box other then crazy. He definitely doesn’t fall into the Tea Party category. Tea Partier’s are baby boomer bible belt type of people. He hates religion and Christianity and admires communism and the thinking of Hitler.

His last thing he wrote was on myspace and was: “goodbye friends”

The Corner Bakery in Tyler Texas

October 28th, 2010

The Corner Bakery Cafe will be opening up in Tyler pretty soon. I have eaten at this restaurant in Irving and Dallas before.

What I take away from eating at this place is that they have good bread and pasta. I only ate at The Corner Bakery a couple times in my life because I’m just not a big bread person.

Many woman in Tyler are bread people and my sister-in-law is a good example of this. When I mentioned that The Corner Bakery cafe was opening up in the old Bennigans building in Tyler her eyes got real big.

Any bread person will probably jump for joy once they here that Corner Bakery will be here.

Although my sister in law likes The Corner Bakery both my wife and her prefer a similar type of restaurant known as Panera Bread.

There is no news of if a Panera Bread will also move into Tyler but it would definitely make for some unwelcome competition next to The Corner Bakery.

The people who own Traditions buffet restaurant are the owners of these particular Corner Bakery franchises. They do a good job managing and owning Traditions and I’m sure The Corner Bakery will be no exception.
