The Boston marathon bombing has shown the best in many Americans, but it also has shown the worst, as many politicans have used the moment to glorify themselves as well as guns and other political statements, including from State Rep. Nate Bell (R-Mena) in Arkansas.
According to Gawker, Bell tweeted out about the lockdown and shootings in Watertown, writing: "I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine? #2A" because obviously everyone in the North is a liberal who hates guns and of course he knows better than everyone else about what's going on.
One officer was killed earlier in the night and another transit officer was shot and was recovering in the hospital and all he said after wards was that he was sorry for his "poor timing" but not for what he said, as he clearly feels people having AR-15's running around Watertown would be better. Bell showed what a true coward is, tweeting something absolutely idiotic from thousands of miles away as people feared for their lives.
He wrote on Facebook, which has thousands of comments now of people coming back at him: "I would like to apologize to the people of Boston & Massachusetts for the poor timing of my tweet earlier this morning. As a staunch and unwavering supporter of the individual right to self defense, I expressed my point of view without thinking of its effect on those still in time of crisis. In hindsight, given the ongoing tragedy that is still unfolding, I regret the poor choice of timing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers were with the people of Boston overnight and will continue as they recover from this tragedy."
Also, Bell once quoted Hitler while referring to the government and defended it.
