The Tuscon tragedy by a clearly deranged individual may be used by corrupt officials, perhaps in places like Illinois, to prevent whistle blowers who have clear evidence of conspiracies or government corruption from being taken seriously.
A blog about the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which contains details of incidents of attacks against whistle blowers by the U.S. Marshal and defamation of whistle blowers by Federal Judges who ignorantly or purposely made illegal decisions dismissing legitimate cases against corrupt Illinois officials expresses fear of further retaliation using the Tuscon tragedy as an excuse:
However, I am now extremely worried that ignorant and aggressive members of the U.S. Marshal's service, FBI, Cook County Sheriff, and corrupt politicians will use this incident as an excuse to further attack peaceful, legitimate, whistle blowers, and non-violent activists against corruption in our government, labeling them without thought as crazy or grouping them inappropriately as mentally ill with those who are truly psychotic. It is easy to get rid of a critic with defamation or by inappropriately and without basis linking a person with a group such as the psychotically mentally ill who are clearly not credible critics.
