Boston Bomber a victim of gun violence?

Apology issued for naming of Boston bomber as a victim of gun violence at Concord rally | New Hampshire NEWS06

The organizers of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign on Wednesday apologized for including Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev among a list of shooting victims' names that were read during a demonstration in Concord on Tuesday.

Makes ya wonder how many of the other names on the list were killed by officers in the course of duty.

I find it strange they didn't have an editor to proofread their list.

No its called "pulling a fast one".

No, it's the NRA's fault. Not sure how, but they'll figure out a way to pin it on them.

More names...bigger impact.

Just one step away from lamenting his loss.

Actually they will blame Bush!

Claiming the Boston bomber is a gun violence victim is about like claiming that Charles Manson was framed. Dumbass Democrats and liberals.

I'm sure they _DO_ view this dude as a "victim" of gun violence. If there were no guns he'd have just given up peacefully. But since the police came armed for a fight, he justifiably felt the need to defend himself.

Please don't underestimate the sheer foolishness of the liberal mindset. Remember, both of these Boston bombers are VICTIMS of those closed-minded forces in the US and were forced to do what they did through no fault of their own.

Bloomberg is a complete idiot. Plop him down in Harlem alone, without his armed guards, and **MAYBE** he would change his tune.

Not a screwup.

IIRC the anti gunners years ago had a prominent billboard/sign that listed the number of those killed by gun violence.

They used police shootings of criminals in their data.
