And some that realize they have nothing to lose, may very well come up with, one of Trump's favorites, a 2nd Amendment solution!!!

Grief at the loss of a loved one, may push some people over the edge...

decision..AZ so called Gov jan Brewer...from 2010 -


Republicans hide use of stimulus dollars, Democrats FOIA

No special session is needed to save the $5 million transplant program, and House Democrats are urging Brewer to use federal stimulus dollars to save the transplant patients. According to state economists, Brewer has $30 million in discretionary stimulus funds she can use on anything. She recently used $2 million on an algae program. According to state economists, Brewer said she has used the $30 million, but has not disclosed what she spent the money on. She also has not disclosed that to the public, so House Democrats have sent a FOIA request (click here to view) to her office to uncover how she spent Arizona’s money.

“This is absolutely outrageous,” said transplant survivor and state Rep. Anna Tovar, D-Tolleson (District 13). “Gov. Brewer and the Republican majority are acting as judge, jury and especially in this case, executioner, and they won’t even come face to face with Arizonans who will die because of their mistakes. What they are doing is wrong, disgusting and despicable.”

Francisco Felix, who was ready to receive a liver transplant Tuesday but was sent home due to cuts to AHCCCS, is now living out what likely will be his final days with his wife and four children.

Yes, he died...there were others.....
