Elected officials know that they are always public people. Privacy in many ways becomes a thing of the past. Sadly, these days they also recognize that they take on certain risks.
This whole affair is a deeply troubling situation. Tikkun has reminded their community that Rep. Gifford, the primary target of the lone gunman, is a Jew. Their concern, to raise awareness of anti-semitism and violence toward “other” should not be overlooked.
My own heart breaks to think of the families who have already lost loved ones as a result of one man's unstable mental health. There is much brokenness in this world we walk on. Many places requiring the healing and reconciling presence of G_D.
Christians, let us not loose sight of our high and holy callings.
