Bloomberg Gun Group Apologizes for Honoring Bombing Suspect

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was run over by his brother after a gunfight with police, was named as a victim of gun violence during an event held by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the anti-gun violence group run by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Tsarnaevs name was listed during one of the gun groups No More Names bus events in Concord, N.H., where it read the names of the people who have been killed in connection with gun violence, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported Tuesday.

Some of the loudest shouts came when a reader spoke the name of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects who was killed by police during a gunfight, the Union Leader reported Tuesday.

Several protestors shouted, Hes a terrorist, according to the Union Leader.

Mayors Against Illegal Guns used a list compiled by Slate.com, titled How Many People Have Been Killed by Guns Since Newtown? Bloombergs gun group called the inclusion of Tsarnaev in its list of gun violence victims a mistake and apologized for the error.

#1 Are they seriously so incompetent they can't take a little time to vet the names that they are reading out?

#2 So how many others were 'accidentally' included when they control c control p latte sip?

Either they obviously do not care about the names on the list, just reading with the passion of narrating the phone book, padding the stats with murderers killed in the act of murdering, or they left him there on purpose. Which is it?

The only thing which stops a bad guy with Kryptonic superpowers is a good guy with Kryptonic superpowers.

The only thing which stops a bad guy with an Iron Man Suit, is a good guy with an Iron Man Suit.
