ICNY Statement on the shooting of Congresswomen Gabrielle Gifford and Judge John M. Roll and others

The Staff of the Interfaith Center of New York extends our deepest sympathies to the victims of Saturday’s attack in Arizona. We urge our fellow New Yorker’s to take note of Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik’s condemnation of vitriolic political rhetoric “When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous,” Sheriff Dupnik told the Associated Press shortly after the attacks on Jan. 8, 2011
