Update:
Quote
Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot along with three of her aides by a gunman Saturday morning outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Fox News has confirmed.

Twelve others were shot as well at Giffords' "Your Corner" event held at Safeway. The gunman is in custody.

Giffords was taken to a hospital but the condition of those shot was not immediately known, a senior congressional aide told Fox News.

The three staffers who were shot worked out of Giffords' Arizona office.

Giffords has held multiple "Your Corner" events over the past four years, the aide told Fox News, adding that she had held three previous events that this venue before.

Giffords was re-elected to her third term as representative of Arizona's 8th Congressional District. She is married to astronaut Mark Kelly.

This is so sad.  :(

My husband thinks all of this violence is being staged by the Marxist and communists.  He thinks they are taking out people who were unable to get the jobs (like immigration reform) done.  Speculation, of course, but there has been a lot of violence towards our representatives lately.  We just had a package addressed to Napolitano that started on fire in a DC USPS facility.

Whoever doing this, either from the right or the left, need to be punished to the fullest extent.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and six others died after a gunman opened fire at a public event on Saturday, member station KJZZ in Phoenix has confirmed.

The Pima County, Ariz., sheriff's office told news director Mark Moran the 40-year-old Democrat was killed.

Giffords, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting a "Congress on Your Corner" event at a Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.

Giffords was talking to a couple when the suspect ran up and fired indiscriminately from about four feet away, Michaels said.


The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s.

Curious...no mention of nationality.

Just sayin...

Congresswoman shot, alive in surgery in Arizona (http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=13807790)

This is from an eyewitness:
Quote
The gunman was young, mid-to-late 20s, white, clean-shaven with short hair and wearing dark clothing and said nothing during the shooting or while being held down, although he struggled at first. He was "not particularly well-dressed"; he didn't look like a businessman, but more of a "fringe character," Rayle said. The sheriff's department arrived, arrested the gunman and cordoned off the parking lot.

And that Federal Judge John Roll was one of those killed.


John McCarthy Roll is a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. He joined the court in 1991 after being nominated by President George H.W. Bush. Roll is the Chief Judge of the court serving as the court's lead judicial administrative officer in conjunction with the Clerk of Court in the day to day operations of the Court.


<snip>

Judge Roll in 2009, faced death threats after presiding over a $32 million civil-rights lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by illegal immigrants against an Arizona rancher. After Judge Roll ruled the case would be certified, threats came from talk-radio shows which fueled controversy and spurred audiences into making threats against the judge[2].

The threats materialized after one show, Judge Roll's name logged more than 200 phone calls as some callers threatened the judge and his family[2].
This resulted in the judge and his wife were under a protection detail for one month as Judge Roll was given twenty four hours a day, seven days a week security by the US Marshals Service. An US Attorney's investigation ruled that four men were identified as threat makers, but no charges were filed[2].

In a July 9, 2009 interview with the Arizona Republic, Judge Roll described the time under high security as "unnerving and invasive. . . . By its nature it has to be," Roll said. Roll also said, "It (the security) was handled very professionally by the Marshals Service."[2]

At the end of the month, Roll said four key men had been identified as threat makers[2].

False flags were a tactic used by the college radicals in the 1960s, according to Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism. Whoever is conducting the violence, I hope it does not spread. Things like this, if enough of them happen, are the kind of crises that will give the government the excuse to do another Waco, or worse.

Thu Jan 06, 2011 at 11:07:17 AM PST

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.

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.

* BoyBlue’s diary :: ::
*

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.

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.”

But it sure as shit is gone now...just in time for the colossal ****stick to tweet "Mission accomplished, Sarah Palin."

I don't think that was Jared Loughner's blog.  That blog talked about volunteering in the 1990's for another political candidate, from what I understand.  But I forwarded to the FBI because you just never know.  It could have been someone who helped Jared with this act, but might have just been a random blog that was posted at the wrong time.

I don't think I could pick them up just to SEE what was in those books.  I'd be too ashamed to type it into my web browser and go to a book store to get them.  Do they even have those books at a store?  See... I'm such a right-wing teabagger, I don't even know where to find these leftist, communist, socialist, whatever-ist books.

Dumpdick is the same jagoff who said he would not enforce SB1070. Since when did law enforcement decide which laws they would or would not enforce? The backbone of a Republic is that we are a nation of laws. When that fails, we're headed to a 3rd world hell-hole. I don't know how the law in AZ works, but if I were Governor, and it was within my legal rights, I would have hauled that SOB into my office and fired him on the spot. If I could deny him his pension I'd do the same.

Judge and 5 Others Killed, Rep Wounded in Arizona Rampage (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/08/arizona-congresswoman-reportedly-shot-public-event/)

A shooting rampage at a town hall-style event Saturday in Tucson, Ariz., left at least five dead, including a federal judge, and critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who is in intensive care but expected to survive after being shot in the head at close range.

Federal District Judge John M. Roll was among the dead, who also included a 9-year-old girl and at least one of Giffords' aides.

A total of at least 19 people, including three members of Giffords' staff, were shot at the congresswoman's "Congress on Your Corner" event, held at a Safeway grocery store. Several of the wounded are in critical condition at the university hospital.

Piece of shit shot a 9 year old girl.  ****er.

Records from a public records service showed only a minor criminal charge against a Jared L. Loughner with the same date of birth, though such records can be incomplete. The Arizona Republic reported that the charge was for possession of drug paraphernalia. The charge was dismissed in 2008 by the city attorney after Loughner entered a pre-trial diversion program.

The Arizona Republic reported that Loughner interrupted a math class at Pima with nonsensical outbursts, and was barred from class.

So much for the "he was an Afghan war very meme:

Quote
Loughner's page on YouTube lists Tucson as his hometown. He also said he attended Northwest Aztec College and Pima County Community College. And in one of the videos, he says he is a military recruit.

But an Army official told Fox News Loughner attempted to enlist in the Army in December 2008 but was denied.

The Army provided this statement:

"The Army has confirmed that the suspect was never in the Army. He attempted to enlist in the Army but was rejected for service. In accordance with the Privacy Act, we will not discuss why he was rejected."


http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/08/shooting-suspects-apparent-youtube-video/


And for those wondering why she was originally pronounced dead.  Let's not jump to conclusions about the media wanting to sensationalize something. 

Like with any 'eyewittness event' there is lots of confusion at first.  Lots of varying stories from people who saw the same even through different sets of eyes and at different angles.

The woman took a round to the head at a distance of four feet.  Easy to see why they'd say she was dead.  Especially if at any time during the time between when EMS arrived and the trauma center got to her she lost vital signs.  Reporters monitor police scanners...could have been something as easy as hearing that sent over the radio to the hospital while she was en route.

And for those of you old enough to remember...did anyone looking at the pictures think James Brady was still alive after he took a round to the head when Reagan was shot?

No siree, we've got an agenda to push here, people!  Ya'll found out he wasn't in the military so we have to associate him (or push him away from the left) some other way!

Timothy McVeigh was no right winger for sure. He got upset when he shot a groundhog, but had no problems killing people in the Oklahoma City Bombing. He even wrote a letter railing against slaughter houses because he said they were inhumane. He was probably the reason why Columbine happened because the killers idolized him.

I think this will backfire on the left. People, not just political junkies but ordinary Americans, are paying attention. And the majority of the country (something like 2.5 to 1) identify themselves as conservatives and support the Tea Party movement. However, the left is incapable of change.

This is a tactic that's always worked for them. It's cynical and disgusting and will be seen as such. Their blatant and deliberate betrayal of the country since 0bama's election hasn't gone unnoticed (hence the recent historic election). Karma's a bitch.

Apparentlly, the 9 year old girl was the grand daughter of ex MLB manager Dallas Greene. Interesting find, but more bad news. Rest in Peace, Christina. :(

Christina-Taylor Green was born on September 11, 2001, the day America was attacked.

So much for the "he was an Afghan war very meme:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/08/shooting-suspects-apparent-youtube-video/


And for those wondering why she was originally pronounced dead.  Let's not jump to conclusions about the media wanting to sensationalize something.  

Like with any 'eyewittness event' there is lots of confusion at first.  Lots of varying stories from people who saw the same even through different sets of eyes and at different angles.

The woman took a round to the head at a distance of four feet.  Easy to see why they'd say she was dead.  Especially if at any time during the time between when EMS arrived and the trauma center got to her she lost vital signs.  Reporters monitor police scanners...could have been something as easy as hearing that sent over the radio to the hospital while she was en route.

And for those of you old enough to remember...did anyone looking at the pictures think James Brady was still alive after he took a round to the head when Reagan was shot?

(http://blog.cleveland.com/nationworld_impact/2009/06/large_HINCKLEY%20MAIN%2006-17.jpg)



If it bleeds, it leads. The media has police scanners and a lot of things go on when an emergency situation happens.

Looking at the photo of James Brady, it would be hard to tell if he is dead or alive.

I remember when Columbine happened, I knew this had something to do with the Oklahoma City Bombing and Timothy McVeigh got his revenge. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were virulently anti-police. I suspect that Harris and Klebold also likely admired Ramzi Yousef (1993 World Trade Center Bombing) and Ted Kaczynski (Unabomber). Klebold's birthday is September 11, 1981.

I think the federal government will charge him first since Judge John Roll was killed.

Quote
Pima County, Ariz., Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said authorities believe Giffords was targeted by the shooter. But Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano said the killer is likely facing the death penalty even if he didn't target Roll or others in particular during the shooting.

He should, let alone killing a child.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was able to communicate with doctors through simple commands, hospital officials said Sunday as the Arizona Democrat remained in critical condition following a mass casualty shooting Saturday that prompted FBI Director Robert Mueller to take lead of the investigation.

During a press conference on Sunday at the University of Arizona hospital, Dr. Michael Lemole, chief of neurosurgery at University of Arizona hospital said about Giffords:

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2011/01/jared-loughners-behavior-recor.html

Quote
From June 1, the first day of class:
"One day down and nineteen to go. We do have one student in the class who was disruptive today, I'm not certain yet if he was on drugs (as one person surmised) or disturbed. He scares me a bit. The teacher tried to throw him out and he refused to go, so I talked to the teacher afterward. Hopefully he will be out of class very soon, and not come back with an automatic weapon."

Quote
From June 14:
"We have a mentally unstable person in the class that scares the living crap out of me. He is one of those whose picture you see on the news, after he has come into class with an automatic weapon. Everyone interviewed would say, Yeah, he was in my math class and he was really weird. I sit by the door with my purse handy. If you see it on the news one night, know that I got out fast..."

An American congresswoman who was shot in the head at point blank range in an apparent assassination attempt is a cousin of actress Gwyneth Paltrow, it was revealed today.

Gabrielle Giffords, who survived despite a bullet going through her brain, is the first cousin once removed of the actress.

Six people were killed and 13 people seriously injured after a gunman went berserk with a Glock 9mm pistol in Arizona yesterday.

GUNMAN POSTED PICTURE OF PISTOL SUPERIMPOSED ON WHITE HOUSE

Gunman Jared Loughner posted a picture of a handgun on his MySpace page before the attack.

The 22-year-old, who claims he was recently recruited by the US Army, positioned a photo of the White House behind the weapon. The words ‘United States History’ also appear.

In a series of ramblings, Loughner bragged that he could create a ‘new currency’ and ‘new language’ and accused the American government of ‘mind-control’ and ‘brainwashing.’

Quote
Sheriff Dupnik puts some of the blame of the shooting on "one party blocking another party from bettering this country."

So, if I'm hearing this assclown correctly, the answer, of course, is to curb our access to free speech.

Since so many people are against ObamaCare, and they are obviously all crazy mass-murderers no different from Loughner or McVeigh, then we must do what is right and stop the vitriol. Left-wing vitriol is fine.  It’s the right-wing vitriol and opposition to pure democrat purity that is so troublesome.

Free speech must be sifted and pre-approved first by the proper authority. (D)

My thoughts and prayers, like every other decent person's, are focused on the survivors and family members and those who lost their lives to a madman. 
I'm reading through some of youall's comments since I've finally got a chance.  This one by you, Airwolf, particularly struck me.  How many times are the powers that be going to ignore a crazy person until it's too late?  All the signs were there at Ft. Hood that the Muslim terrorist Nidal Malik Hassan would finally erupt, but in the interests of political correctness he was passed on through the military system.

If you recall the Times square almost bomber was described by, Bloomberg I believe it was, as a tea party guy mad about the health care bill.
Yet when the FT Hood shooting occurred, Barry told us not to jump to any conclusions.



Makes them very hypocritical right there. Obama always jumps to conclusions.

Once again it looks more like a left winger ****ing up everything and anyone . There is some serious crazy going on with that guy and no one stopped him till 19 people get shot.

The sad fact is many assassins and mass murderers like Jared Loughner showed warning signs and it was too late to stop them.

Jared Loughner Parents Knew He Had Mental Health Issues

Quote
LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Jared Loughner’s parents were put on alert by Pima Community College of their son’s mental health issues. Jared Loughner’s parents, Amy and Randy Loughner, received a letter from Pima Community College or around October 7, 2010 of their son’s suspension. In writing the Loughner parents, Pima advised them that their son needed mental health evaluation, promptly.

It is obvious he is mentally ill.

Note the lower left corner of subscriptions. One is for Jared Loughner's YouTube page and one to Rep Ike Skelton's (MO) YouTube page. Furthermore, Giffords' age is wrong. It shows last logged in 21 hours ago, which she would have been in the hospital, just out of surgery. It's likely that a staffer is maintaining her page, but one would think that they'd get her age right or at  least close.

I think it is a sick joke since it has giffords2 as the name. I would think Gifford would have no numbers. I have seen people setup fake YouTube accounts to troll in emotionally charged topics. One that came to mind was someone would always use the name Sioux and create many accounts. That person would use pictures of girls.

Quote
"One day [Loughner] started making comments about terrorism and laughing about killing the baby," classmate Don Coorough told ABC News, referring to a discussion about abortions. "The rest of us were looking at him in shock ... I thought this young man was troubled."

Quote
"A girl had written a poem about an abortion. It was very emotional and she was teary eyed and he said something about strapping a bomb to the fetus and making a baby bomber," Ali said.

He wrote poems.
Quote
"Looking around, the cute women are catching my eye, probably waiting for their hot boyfriends wandering in the locker room," one poem, entitled Meat Head, reads. "Confused look on my face of no idea what to do, deciding to copy other men's routines..."

Quote
In another poem entitled "Dead as a dodo.", Loughn describes a serene, but somber scene at a cemetery. "The full moon slowly setting for the sun is rising. At the local cemetery there is weeping. The dodo is finally deing [sic]," it reads.

Sheriff: 'He specifically targeted the congresswoman'

Federal authorities filed murder charges Sunday against 22-year-old Jared Loughner, as new evidence suggested the alleged gunman in Saturday's rampage had fixated on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) while his mental health deteriorated.

Loughner will make his first appearance in an Arizona courtroom Monday at 2 p.m. Mountain time (4 p.m. in Washington). The Arizona's public defender's office has asked that he be represented by Judy Clarke, the San Diego attorney who helped defend Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski and Susan Smith, a South Carolina woman who drowned her two sons in 1994, the Associated Press reported.

Authorities said Sunday that he appeared to have acted alone, without ties to anti-government or hate groups. A second "person of interest" seen with him near the shooting scene turned out to be the cabdriver who had dropped him off. Authorities said the man had no connection to the shootings.

A sinister shrine reveals a chilling occult dimension in the mind of the deranged gunman accused of shooting a member of Congress and 19 others.

Hidden within a camouflage tent behind Jared Lee Loughner's home sits an alarming altar with a skull sitting atop a pot filled with shriveled oranges.

A row of ceremonial candles and a bag of potting soil lay nearby, photos reveal.

Experts on Sunday said the elements are featured in the ceremonies of a number of occult groups.

However, Potok says inferences can be made about his intellectual leanings from his reading list that includes books that run a theme of "individual versus the totalitarian state". Some of his favorites were Ayn Rand’s 'We the Living' and 'Atlas Shrugged' and George Orwell’s '1984' and 'Animal Farm' as well as Hitler's 'Mein Kampf.'

"... I think Loughner’s reading list, although it included children’s books and a few classics, had an underlying theme — the individual versus the totalitarian state. Certainly, that’s the explicit central theme of Ayn Rand’s We the Living and Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm, among others."

TUCSON, Ariz.—Accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner appeared to have been long obsessed with U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

A safe at Mr. Loughner's home contained a form letter from Ms. Giffords' office thanking him for attending a 2007 "Congress on your Corner'' event in Tucson. The safe also held an envelope with handwritten notes, including the name of Ms. Giffords, as well as "I planned ahead," "My assassination," and what appeared to be Mr. Loughner's signature, according to an FBI affidavit.

Jared Loughner Had 5 Run-ins with College Police
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/10/national/main7231560.shtml

Quote
Jared Loughner, the suspected gunman in a Tucson shooting rampage, had five run-ins with Pima Community College campus police and was placed on suspension for violating the student code of conduct, which later led to his withdrawal from the school.

Quote
His high school friends said they fell out of touch with Loughner and last spoke to him around March, when one of them was going to set up some bottles in the desert for target practice and Loughner suggested he might come along. It was unusual - Loughner hadn't expressed an interest in guns before - and his increasingly confrontational behavior was pushing them apart. He would send bizarre text messages, but also break off contact for weeks on end.

Quote
Several people who knew Loughner at community college said he did not engage in political discussions - in fact, he didn't talk much at all, and when he did classmates cringed.

Quote
"He made a lot of the people really uncomfortable, especially the girls in the class," said Steven Cates, who attended an advanced poetry writing class with Loughner at Pima Community College last spring. Though he struck up a passing friendship with Loughner, he said a group of other students went to the teacher to complain about Loughner at one point.

It is possible that Loughner has Schizoid and Schizotypal personality disorder. Here are signs of schizoid.
Emotional coldness, detachment or reduced affection.
Limited capacity to express either positive or negative emotions towards others.
Consistent preference for solitary activities.
Very few, if any, close friends or relationships, and a lack of desire for such.
Indifference to either praise or criticism.
Taking pleasure in few, if any, activities.
Indifference to social norms and conventions.
Preoccupation with fantasy and introspection.
Lack of desire for sexual experiences with another person.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

Bold indicates characteristics of him.


Here are signs of schizotypal.

Ideas of reference (excluding delusions of reference)
Odd beliefs or magical thinking that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, belief in clairvoyance, telepathy, or "sixth sense"; in children and adolescents, bizarre fantasies or preoccupations)
Unusual perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions
Odd thinking and speech (e.g., vague, circumstantial, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped)
Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation
Inappropriate or constricted affect
Behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar
Lack of close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
Excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self

Blogger's Report: Sherrif Dupnik Pre-Emptively Blaming Sarah Palin Because He Knows True Blame Lay In His Office?

Hey, is this an unverified report, and am I slandering a man without waiting on evidence and confirmation? I learned that from the media.

This is the claim. We'll see if it's true.

Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When Pima County Sheriff’s Office was informed, his deputies assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County...
Every victim of his threats previously must also be wondering if this tragedy could have been prevented if they had been more aggressive in pursuing charges against Mr. Loughner. Perhaps with a felony conviction he would never have been able to lawfully by the Glock 9mm Model 19 that he used to strike down the lives of six people and decimate 14 more..,,

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department was aware of his violent nature and they failed to act appropriately. This tragedy leads right back to Sherriff Dupnik and all the spin in the world is not going to change that fact.


If the basic factual predicate there is true, the motivation and actions alleged make sense -- if you've dropped the ball, badly, and that's led to six murders and multiple grave injuries, damnit, you'd better start soliciting political allies and dreaming up faraway scapegoats.

So... of course this is Sarah Palin's fault.

Did you know when Sarah Palin resigned the governorship she immediately assumed the position of Acting Sheriff of Pima County? It's true; it's right there in the Alaska Constitution. If you resign your post as governor you immediately become sheriff of an Arizona County.

FBI agents working on the Gabrielle Giffords shooing encountered trouble gaining entry to the suspect's family home Monday morning.

Family members of Jared Loughner apparently had put on 4-by-4 double-thick plywood that blocked access to the front porch of their north Tucson home.

At about 12:25 p.m., agents began banging on the blockade, yelling, "This is the FBI. Let us in."

Some agents were sent behind the house, and they were able to get inside after talking to family members.

[DU Mode]  Well I have it on very good authority (from my yoga master's next door neighbor's contact at the local canabis dispensery) that Jared Loughner is the love child of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck (yes, that Glenn Beck).  She said that there is video tape of Sarah Palin dropping Loughner off at the entrance the Safeway parking lot shortly before the shooting occured.  Viewed on the back of her car (a gas guzzling SUV) was a bumper sticker that said "Death to all Democrats".  [/DU mode]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Through 24 pages of this...I have realized something. This is bigger than I thought.

However, I think I underestimated how absolutely HUGE it was going to be. I looked at this issue from the scope of a rifle instead of the microscope. I didn't see it all, I don't think.

Emersing myself in this issue, taking it all in, I think that there is real potential for riots such as in '68. Riots such as the Watts riots. NONE of us want that, but I think the whole of America needs to be very nervous.

I watched Beck today. He is DEAD ON with the freedom of speech argument. His jokes were meant to be funny, but I didn't laugh. They were meant also to be truthful. I understood them. There is a real danger here of the revocation of weapons, freedom of speech, and other rights in general if something is not done! This is not a call to arms, or anything of the sort. This is merely an observation. I was worried before about getting a job, getting BACK out on my own, etc. Now...I have those worries, PLUS loss of freedom worries, and violence...general violence towards one another.

Obama being elected with that Congress was the big one...free healthcare and wealth redistribution were finally around the corner.
This was going to be another big one...conservative voices silenced overnight and conservatives marginalized.

Some postings he made from the article.

Quote
Even in a setting that includes the raw and often raunchy thoughts of young men, Mr. Loughner's postings were startling. They show an obsession with language, a hatred of the educational system and aggression—all of which later became themes of videos posted by Mr. Loughner on YouTube in the months before the shooting. In the forum posts, Mr. Loughner never mentions any political views explicitly, nor does he name any political figures.

Quote
On April 24, Mr. Loughner titled a new online thread: "Would you hit a Handy Cap Child/ Adult?" He wrote: "This is a very interesting question….There are mental retarded children. They're possessing teachers that are typing for money. This will never stop….The drug addicts need to be weeded out to be more intelligent. The Principle of this is that them c— educators need to stop being pigs."
He sure hates handicapped people.

Quote
Later that day, he posted a rant titled "Why Rape," which said women in college enjoyed being raped. "There are Rape victims that are under the influence of a substance. The drinking is leading them to rape. The loneliness will bring you to depression. Being alone for a very long time will inevitably lead you to rape."
Sounds like a pervert to me. He clearly has no problems with rape. Sounds like Michael Crook to me.

Lone Wolf Killers: It's About Fame, Not Politics
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/lone-wolf-killers-fame-politics/story?id=12583783

Quote
"If we feel that civility in public discourse is going to take away mass shootings we are mistaken," said Dr. Michael Welner, a forensic psychiatrist at New York University and an ABC News consultant. "Because the one common threat in mass shooting is, what does the shooter get out of it? And the shooter recognizes that if you assassinate a political figure you will be notorious."

Quote
"Most of them are very socially uncomfortable," said Brad Garrett, a former FBI profiler and special agent, "and so as a result they tend to withdraw and become more and more isolated and that is the reason I think we call them lone wolves because it's like they can't work in the pack, in other words they can't work in society."

If it were about politics and not fame, he would have made more of an attempt to ensure that his primary target was reached, and not just kill indiscriminately.

If it were about politics and not fame, he would have made more of an attempt to ensure that his primary target was reached, and not just kill indiscriminately.

It's pretty clear that the prosecutors are going to charge him with Murder One, citing his having planned the attack and thus being mentally capable enough to do that.

Actually executing the attack, however, at least a couple of differing points could be argued - one, that he was so whacked out, so mentally ill that indiscriminate shooting is all he could manage, or two, that his evident inexperience with firearms and the "heat of the moment" prompted him to spray his fire rather than target one individual.

about the time he dropped his mag to reload, that's when a couple of guys jumped him or hit him with a chair. Loughner fell to the ground next to a woman who was playing dead and she saw that Loughner had a full magazine in his hand, but dropped it during the fall. She snagged it away from him and that was the end of the attack.

I don't know if he had already reloaded, though. With as many as 19 being struck by bullets, I guess he would've had to......

in 2008, Loughner reported being a victim of identity theft on Oct. 3 after finding an online profile on PeekYou.com that included a picture of himself and other details that were inaccurate, according to the report.

I'm waiting for the news to come out that he was abused by one or both of his parents, and was the target of bullies at school. That will garner him lots of sympathy at DU.

I think so too. Most of them are complaints filed by Randy Loughner. One of them was reported as a fire, which turned out to be a barbecue.

The alcohol poisoning he got was in May of 2006 and that happened when he was in high school. It was by himself after his father yelled at him.

Looks like the Loughners have had complaints lodged against them as well.

Nothing on the graffiti.

As portrait of Jared Loughner sharpens, 'vitriol' blame fades

Quote
At this point, then, the left's initial eagerness to link the shooting to political anger on the right could backfire, says Charles Franklin, a pollster and political scientst at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Quote
To be sure, Sheriff Dupnik put the issue on the national plate with his comments, and given that that the shooting appears to be a political assassination attempt in a politically rancorous border district, the debate on political tone was, in many ways, inevitable.

Quote
But critics point out that the nation largely refrained from linking Maj. Nidal Malik Hassan – the suspect in the 2009 Fort Hood shootings – with terrorism.

He couldn't take him to jail over a red light infraction.  But for that cop to know he had Loughner less than a foot away from him?  Sucks.  Too bad he couldn't predict the future.

How would you like to be the state trooper who stopped one of the 9-11 terrorists on I-95 the day before?  I know him.  He had no idea just who he had on that traffic stop.  They found his speeding ticket in the glove compartment of his rental car at the airport parking lot.

I think there was a security gate agent at one of the airports that had a similar experience.  I don't remember his name, but I do recall hearing his story.

I don't envy either of them.

The trooper was stationed at my barrack, then got transferred to the barrack on I-95.  He was a K-9 trooper with a drug dog.  He made the stop and ran the guy through NCIC and nothing appeared so he wrote him and let him go.  The guy had a Virginia driver's license.  I watched the video from his in car camera.

Is that an applause sign for the audience to applause or is it closed captioning the speech? When closed captioning is done on tv...applause, laughter, door bell ringing, car horn honking - something occurring during a lapse in speaking...is all bracketed like that.
