Aurora theater victim's father confronts GOP lawmakers at forum

[angka]

Source: Daily Caller

Tom Sullivan, the father of Aurora theater shooting victim Alex Sullivan, confronted two Republican Colorado lawmakers at a Denver Post forum Tuesday, telling them that he was “appalled” at what he saw during gun control debates at the state capitol in recent months and that they must be proud that the GOP is now known as the “guns over people party.”

(...)

“So did you have a question or did you just want to continue to throw insults at us?” (Sen. Bill Cadman) asked.

Sullivan, who was sitting just feet away in the front row, was uncowed.

“What I will tell you, sir, is that my son was murdered in the Aurora theater by a man who had bought a 100-round drum and murdered my son,” he said.

Dramatic video of the confrontation:

[Skittles]

1. "guns over people"

that is EXACTLY right

[CBHagman]

9. That's what caught my attention as well.

GOP = Guns over People.

[jaysunb]

2. Sorry I watched this video...

It just makes me angrier.

[Mr. David]

3. Every grieving parents who had a child lost to gun violence needs to stay on GOP's ass

until the GOP resigns or quit politics.

And GOP orders all the recalls that were initated against Senate President John Morse removed from circulation.

4. GOP...."Guns over people" party. Can't say he's wrong. nt

[freshwest]

5. Fake outrage followed by total disregard, total disrespect from that bastard. Disgusting!

[pacalo]

6. That arrogant s.o.b. didn't even give that father the courtesy of giving him his undivided

attention. As the father told them his son had been murdered, the s.o.b. scribbled on his pad to show his disinterest & lack of empathy.

[No Vested Interest]

7. Sen. Bill Cadman is a callous, rude man nt.

[angka]

18. Tell him so.

19. Good idea. nt

[BrotherIvan]

8. I wish that every citizen of Colorado could see this video

If they then decide that this man is fit to represent them, then it is on their conscience. His contempt for this father is disgusting beyond words. I am so sorry he was treated this way.

[angka]

23. I wish...

That the media who WATCHED THIS HAPPEN LIVE would report on it. It's shocking that it hasn't happened.

[Robb]

11. Unbelievable. Almost.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

12. Cowardice

They could not look the grieving father in the eye, much less offer condolences or let him speak. Yeah, this needs to go viral...it perfectly captures the cynicism of the "Guns Over People" party.

[mountain grammy]

13. Yes, cowards. My first thought.

[olddots]

14. Incredable restraint on Mr. Sullivan's part.

n.t.

[alp227]

15. Daily Caller = right wing source.

FYI.

+ Wonder why Denver Post (local source) hasn't covered this event yet, seems to be a Daily Caller (Tucker Carlson's site) exclusive for now.

[angka]

21. As of now...

The Denver Post has not seen fit to cover this event that occurred in their building. Go figure.

[cvoogt]

16. Cadman = apt

A cad of a man.

[mtasselin]

17. wrong

This is one of the things that is wrong in this country, you have assholes like cadman who think that they are above everything and everyone. My guess he was on the phone to his masters at the nra saying how he was attacked and needed money, oh by the way did mention that what a asshole he is.

[Zoeisright]

20. I only wish that insults would hurt those repukes assholes

like the bullets hurt the victims.

[bushisanidiot]

22. What a brave man!

And the assholes never apologized or offered their condolences for the father's loss.

TYPICAL REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS!
