I was getting my hair done when the news broke. And I also remember that not only did the national news media quickly begin to cast an unfavorable light on Tucson but so did our local media. There were shouts of blame and accusations, unfairly placed, I must say, on political people who truly had nothing to do with the psycho who committed this terrible crime. The focus should have remained on the crime, not on opposing political parties. Both political parties are guilty of engaging in smear tactics, and so to are the national and local media. I have little regard for the media, be it print, television, radio, national or local. Truth prevails with time. Hysteria breeds lies and anger. Thank you for writing this article.

I could go to the exact spot I stood receiving the news of Roosevelt's death, or of Kennedy's assination. 9/11 is another of those moments.
