Jared Lee Loughners video rant

Jared Lee Loughners YouTube Videos Reveal Possible Shooting Motives
I think it’s pretty clear that the shooting of Dem Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords earlier today by Jared Lee Loughner was politically motivated. Watch the videos he made. The first deals with his twisted, nearly incomprehensible thoughts on currency and government control… The second reveals a lot more. Apparently he is (or was) a Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix, talks a bit about Terrorism, talks about the Constitution, calls the current laws treasonous, and then says the g...

No Parent Should Have To Bury Their Child
Even though I'm a parent myself, I cannot begin to imagine the agony that these people are afflicted with. Pray for them. I don't care if he's insane or not, I fervently hope that Jared Lee Loughner dies a horrid, painful, excruciating death. ...

Some interesting shooting-related links | Michael Tomasky
I just wrote my big take on the shooting for tomorrow's newspaper. I assume it will be posted here this afternoon some time US time. Rebecca Traister wrote a fine piece at Salon on Giffords. Michele Goldberg had an interesting-as-usual take at the Tablet. Ditto Adele Stan at Alternet (she closely chronicles the right, and frankly I don't know how she can stand doing it). Max Blumenthal has a wonderful piece, also in Salon, about the slain judge, who seems a man of great distinction. Max once t...

Christina Taylor Green: The face of innocence
Christina Taylor Green, the youngest Victim of Saturday’s shootings, was born on Sept. 11, 2001 - a date of bloodshed that shaped her tragically brief life, the girl’s heartbroken mother said Sunday morning. “It [9/11] was very, very special to her,” weeping mom Roxanna Green told Fox News in a phone interview, less than 24 hours after her 9-year-old daughter was slain by alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner. “She would tell people when she was younger that, ‘I ...

Salon Posts Completely False Article About Giffords Shooting
Some guy named Justin Elliott is claiming that the Glock 19 and magazines used in the Giffords shooting yesterday would have been banned by the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. The only thing he got right in his article was the punctuation. The semiautomatic Handgun used in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and more than a dozen other people on Saturday would have been illegal to manufacture and difficult to purchase under the Clinton-era assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. According t...

Described by Classmate as 'Left-Wing Pothead'...
​A classmate of the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this morning describes him as "Left Wing" and a "pot head" in a series of posts on Twitter this afternoon. Caitie Parker did not immediately respond to our request for an interview, but her "tweets" in the hours after the shooting paint a picture of Jared Loughner as a substance-abusing loner who had met Giffords before the shooting. She says, Loughner described the congresswoman as "stupid and unintelligent." We'...

FBI's Mueller: Charges Today
FBI Director Robert Mueller is holding a Press Conference right now in Arizona. Formal charges will "quite probably" be filed against Jared Loughner this afternoon, Mueller said, for the killing of Judge Roll and the assault on Rep. Giffords and her Staffers. "It appears that the target was the congresswoman," Mueller said. Mueller would not preclude the bringing of additional charges under the Domestic Terrorism statutes as the investigation unfolds. ...

Arizona Suspect: I Planned Ahead
An envelope found in the home of Arizona shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner had the words “my Assassination” and “I planned ahead” written on it. Investigators found a letter from the congresswoman in a safe at the house where Loughner lived with his parents, thanking him for attending a similar 2007 event, a federal agent’s affidavit states. “Also recovered in the safe was an envelope with handwriting on the envelope stating ‘I planned ahead,’ an...

Who is Jared Loughner?
Doug Ross has some good reporting regarding Loughner’s Mental Illness. Did someone drop the ball and allow this guy to fall through the cracks? There are reports out of Pima County that this guy was on a lot of radars. How could he get so close to a congresswoman with a gun? Geez. I guess the secret service was too busy investigating UFC’s Jacob Volkmann because he jokingly said he would like to fight Obama. Does a certifiable lefty nutbag like Loughner get followed? Nope. ht. Larw...

Police: 2nd suspect in shooting cleared
As John Hinderaker notes, today’s development in the murderous Shooting Spree in Arizona today tend to argue against the notion of a Conspiracy.  The second Person of Interest in the Probe has been cleared as a suspect, as it was the cabbie who drove Jared Loughner to the Supermarket event held by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and who trailed Loughner after getting stiffed on the fare: Arizona authorities say a second man has been cleared of any involvement in an attempted Assassination of U...

Insanity Nation
First, toldja so: Newsmax declares “Shooter Linked to Left Wing Politics.” Yes, by Newsmax. Apparently it was reported the young man accused of shooting owns copies of The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf, which of course (in the minds of righties, who cannot figure out why Hitler was a right-wing psychopath, not a left-wing one) proves he’s a leftie. Anyway, the more I hear about the shooter, the more it appears he was deeply disturbed, possibly psychotic. I am not qualif...

On the memo
Fox News has published the memo reportedly compiled by the Department of Homeland Security and distributed to Arizona Law Enforcement. The memo suggests that the suspect Jared Lee Loughner, 22, may have had an anti-Semitic motivation in targeting Rep. Gabriella Giffords (D-Ariz.) and that he may have been influenced by the Racist group American Renaissance. Earlier Sunday, officials had downplayed that there was such an official DHS memo per se. A read of the document suggests that it may be c...

Judge's final actions key to federal charge for his murder
The actions and motivations of U.S. District Court Judge John Roll just before he was shot dead at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords's campaign event in Tucson on Saturday are important for the public narrative about the tragedy, but they're also vital to the federal criminal charge for his Murder. The Criminal Complaint Federal Prosecutors filed Sunday against the alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, goes to some lengths to demonstrate that Roll didn't show up at the Giffords event just to say hello to the...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) may only be an eye doctor but he didn't hesitate in offering a medical diagnoses for the man that allegedly shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) Saturday. "I looked at some of the writings of this young man," Paul told Fox News' Bret Baier Sunday.

Sarah Palin's group denies 'crosshairs' ever existed over Giffords district
Sarah Palin political action committee, SarahPAC, appears to be taking Palin's phrase "Don't retreat, reaload!" to a whole new level.  In a recent interview on the Tammy Bruce Talk Radio show SarahPAC staff member Rebecca Mansour calls it "obscene" and "appalling" to make any connection between Palin and the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords yesterday.  Mansour denies that Giffords' district was ever targeted or put in crosshairs by SarahPAC in the map produced by their orga...
