It Wasn't Post Traumatic Stress Disorder That Made Eric Fuller Nuts

He was nuts before he was shot in Arizona and later threatened to kill the local Tea Party leader. Many on the left are trying to use PTSD to excuse his behavior, but it appears he's been a little off for quite awhile. From Gateway Pundit:

On the morning of the Safeway shooting Fuller reportedly was seen arguing with a former Marine. This occurred before Loughner arrived and started his killing spree.

Marilyn Zerull, who ran for office recently in Tucson for the state house of representatives, is familiar with Eric Fuller. She shared with me today her experiences with the far left activist.

Last year between the primary and general elections Fulller was the inspector of elections at the polling station she worked at in both the primary and general elections. First of all, just after the primary, during the training session, Marilyn said she was warned about Fuller. She knew he was confrontational. So she was worried. He acted very bizarre during the training sessions. During the day he would stand up in the middle of room and do leg kicks and karate chops.

One time, during the primary elections, Fuller went outside and started screaming at a woman who was handing out literature beyond the 75 foot limit. He chased her to her car. The woman was very frightened and locked her doors. Eventually, she fled to another station. Fuller also had a run-in with the police that day.

Sometime between the primary and general elections, Al Melvin was holding a town hall. It was pretty civil. Afterwards, Eric Fuller came over and started a confrontation with Marilyn. He just started arguing loudly and spewing the typical leftist talking points. Fuller is always reportedly looking for opportunities to argue with Republicans. It’s what he does.

They worked together again during the general election at the same polling station. Eric Fuller would get up and go play the piano during the day and he talked about how good democratic policies were to the people coming into the polling place.

Marilyn felt Eric Fuller was disturbed and felt it was important for him to stand trial.

I'm wondering how much guilt is playing into Fuller's behavior? According to reports I read when the shooting started he dropped and played dead, and then once the suspect was captured rather than help others around him he drove himself to the hospital. Could his lashing out at the Tea Party guy had something to do with guilt he felt over his own actions the day of the shooting? Just a thought.
