Unfortunately it has "moonbat crazy" stamped all over it.

Actually, I believe it has "Auschwitz Prison Guard" stamped all over it.

Did he shave his head, or was it shaved for him?

He looks like a cross between deranged Uncle Fester, and WWE's Kane:

Exclusive: Loughner Friend Explains Alleged Gunman's Grudge Against Giffords
http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/01/jared-lee-loughner-friend-voicemail-phone-message?page=1

Quote
That was it. But later in the day, when Tierney first heard about the Tucson massacre, he had a sickening feeling: "They hadn't released the name, but I said, 'Holy shit, I think it's Jared that did it.'" Tierney tells Mother Jones in an exclusive interview that Loughner held a years-long grudge against Giffords and had repeatedly derided her as a "fake." Loughner's animus toward Giffords intensified after he attended one of her campaign events and she did not, in his view, sufficiently answer a question he had posed, Tierney says. He also describes Loughner as being obsessed with "lucid dreaming"—that is, the idea that conscious dreams are an alternative reality that a person can inhabit and control—and says Loughner became "more interested in this world than our reality." Tierney adds, "I saw his dream journal once. That's the golden piece of evidence. You want to know what goes on in Jared Loughner's mind, there's a dream journal that will tell you everything."

Quote
Tierney, who's also 22, recalls Loughner complaining about a Giffords event he attended during that period. He's unsure whether it was the same one mentioned in the charges—Loughner "might have gone to some other rallies," he says—but Tierney notes it was a significant moment for Loughner: "He told me that she opened up the floor for questions and he asked a question. The question was, 'What is government if words have no meaning?'"

Quote
As Loughner and Tierney grew closer, Tierney got used to spending the first ten minutes or so of every day together arguing with Loughner's "nihilist" view of the world. "By the time he was 19 or 20, he was really fascinated with semantics and how the world is really nothing—illusion," Tierney says.

Clearly a disturbed individual.

Both of 'em....birds of a feather and all that.

I wonder if that Tierney is the same fellow CBS News interviewed. If so, he had long fire engine red hair and the "punk" attire.

From the same article.
Quote
Tierney believes that Loughner was very interested in pushing people's buttons—and that may have been why he listed Hitler's Mein Kampf as one of his favorite books on his YouTube page. (Loughner's mom is Jewish, according to Tierney.) Loughner sometimes approached strangers and would say "weird" things, Tierney recalls. "He would do it because he thought people were below him and he knew they wouldn't know what he was talking about."

Loughner's mother is Jewish, yet he he like Mein Kempf. Sounds like a self-hating Jew to me.

This asshole now has a very good lawyer, the trial will take weeks to get underway, but he should still be found guilty. Now, since ObeyWon has said that terrorists , if tried and found not guilty will still be held in prison, can't we do the same for this POS?

He's guilty, there were tons of eyewitnesses,why is a trial even needed?

Granted, he has a right to a trial, but that verdict should only have one of two foregone conclusions.  Guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity. Either way he should be locked up for life, if it is the latter or quickly put to death if the former. Appeals should be non-existent in the case.

EDIT NOTE: I initially deleted this diary out of sensitivity to the victims of Saturday's Tucson shooting, including my Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, who is now courageously fighting for her life at UMC. I undeleted because this has been twisted and distorted by not only the right wing blogs, but also the mainstream media as an example of a vitriolic statement from the progressives that is somehow the equal of what Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Boortz, and other far-right stokers of vitriol, anger, and hatred have said and written. Which I believe can and does influence people, especially the already unstable to carry out acts of violence...perhaps even the exact shooting in Tucson on Saturday.

I am from the Tucson area and live in Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords' district. I worked like a dog for her elections when she was in the Arizona House, surrounded by rightwing nutcases. When Arizona re-districted in 2002, a seat opened up and she was right smack in the middle of it. So was I because I live in Oro Valley, Arizona, which is at the heart of that - then - new CD. I was one of several people to talk her into running and pledging complete loyalty and pledging to raise as much money as possible for her.

BoyBlue's diary :: ::
She ended up running for the first time against a fellow AZ House member, Randy Graf who was a rightwing whacko who advocated guns in bars and was the "Russell Pearce before Russell Pearce" vis-a-vis border issues. With a LOT of hard work and plenty of money, Gabby won. Easier than thought, too. I never like to throw money in people's faces, but i have given Gabrielle Giffords THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars in both good times and bad times for me financially.

Fast forward to this election season. A weirdo asshole named Jesse Kelly who advocated ELIMINATING Social Security and was a tea bagger favorite got the GOP nom to run against her. I am gay and had been married and my spouse left me January 15, 2010. I shot myself in the mouth in a serious suicide attempt, because of that. Barely surviving, I spent two months in the hospital and still have some paralysis. I did receive a severance from my employer, as i had been laid off in December, 2009. That may have been part of the reason my spouse left me.

Anyway, after months of physical and mental rehab, I got back into the political scene and started working for Gabby once again. I raised over $100,000 for her and maxed her out myself out of my severance, even though i still don't have work and could not qualify for state aid because of my severance.

She wins her re-election and told me she was still a supporter of Speaker Pelosi at her victory party. We talked about how Nancy Pelosi was a successful woman and accomplished oh so much in just four years as Speaker.

Today, just a little while ago, I saw on Andrea Mitchell Reports (out of the one eye in can still see out of) that Giffords voted AGAINST Nancy Pelosi as our Minority Leader. Rhetorical question:  I fought back from my condition and jumped in with both feet to help Gabrielle Giffords for THIS shit???

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is dead to me now. I won't lift a finger, make one phone call, nor will i EVER vote for her in the future. And why did she do this? Giffords never told me she was conservative Democrat. And her voting record is okay. Damn.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1/6/933828/-My-CongressWOMAN-voted-against-Nancy-Pelosi!-And-is-now-DEAD-to-me!

This was brought back up if anyone wants to see it. Just had the urge to go back there for some reason. Is it me, or does it seem a bit different? Aside from the top bolded edit, I mean.

Arizona Suspect Could Face Death for Attack

I honestly hope an insanity defense for this loser is dropped post haste.  He needs to disappear into a 6x6 hole in the ground.

The defense will probably try to use it, but the legal term of insanity is vastly different from the medical term. Under the legal term, I don't think he'll qualify for it.

Well, he's being tried initially in federal court where that legal definition (whatever it is) will play out - and I can't help but think his entire defense will be predicated on the level of his "sanity" - and then Arizona will get their shot at him.

God only knows what else, but charges are being drafted as we speak.

I see BoyBlue has put on his tap dancing shoes.  In addition to Rush, Beck and Palin, he has dragged Sharron Angle into the mud too. While you are at it BB, why not bring up every Republican candidate in last November's election to round out your list of "far-right stokers of vitriol anger"...
