[QUOTE="Giselle, post: 401628, member: 7525"] I think it's absolutely horrible for ABC to stage a town hall meeting in a quest for ratings and have people there who have just experienced the most traumatic event of their lives thrown in with a polarizing figure like Humphries. If I had just been shot twice (like Fuller) and witnessed the murder of 6 people - all the chaos and terror of that event - I might lose it when confronted with a big pro gun advocate like Humphries too - who's calling [I]himself[/I] a victim of the events, because he feels his ideology is being "attacked." Those victims need counseling for PTSD, not to be exploited by ABC. Fuller is probably still taking painkillers, and he's baffled and angry, and may not even be in touch with the terror of that event yet. I don't believe anyone could experience being shot and having people blown apart right in front of you - a child, the elderly - in a place you felt safe, and not be extremely traumatized, whether you push it aside and try to think you're o.k. or not. I'm sure his emotions are very raw. [/QUOTE]
