Breaking: Report From Arizona Republic Said Loughner's Family Had Refused to Allow FBI to Enter Home, Had Barricaded Themselves
Sorry for the mini-posts. Just tellin' you what Shep "Slinky-ass" Smith is saying.
Just Keeping The Media Out? A commenter writes, quoting I think from somewhere:
"It's not immediately clear why the Loughner family had put up the Blockade, but there were reports of at least one media representative who had gotten to the yard of the family home earlier in the day."

Shooting Suspect's Family Blockades House
AzCentral.com reports that the family of Jared Lee Loughner has blockaded their house with 4-by-4 double-thick plywood.
FBI agents working on the Gabrielle Giffords shooting 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....
Media Pivots to Blame Gun Laws
Yesterday evening I was on AC360 to discuss the Arizona Tragedy with David Gergen and Roland Martin. While I personally like Gergen, his knowledge of Arizona’s Gun Laws and invalid premises on conceal carry were a disservice to our discussion. He presupposes that Jared Lee Loughner was a CCW permit holder, and thus, right to carry failed, which, to all knowledge Loughner did not possess a permit, a violation of AZ law.

Rush Limbaugh: Jared Loughner Has 'Full Support' Of Democratic Party
Rush Limbaugh reacted to the instantly infamous mugshot of Jared Lee Loughner, the suspected gunman in the Arizona shooting, by saying that the reason Loughner is smiling in the picture is because he knows he is backed by the Democratic Party.
Speaking on his Radio Show Tuesday, Limbaugh said that Loughner was getting the exact attention that he wanted:
" What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows wha...
Craig Crawford: Little Big Stories
When Small People do things that create big stories we only confirm what they want. In their pitiful minds we make them a Big Deal. Their profile goes global. Their psychotic innermost thoughts become part of the national conversation. They become infamous. Which is all they want. It's unavoidable, but sad. And only encourages others.
Instead of blaming partisan Rhetoric why not examine how the Arizona killer got a gun? There's no evidence that political hot Speech turned Jared Lee Loughner in...
Jared Lee Loughners online handle was likely Erad3
Jared Lee Loughner’s online handle was likely Erad3
According to the Washington Post, one of the sites that Jared Lee Loughner “hung out on” was a site called Abovetopsecret.com. This site’s forums has discussions on UFOs, if God is real, etc. A user with the nickname of Erad3 joined that site in 2009. According to the WaPo article, the site’s chief executive of it’s parent company Bill Irvine believes that Erad3 was Jared Lee Loughner. Irvine said he would ...

Sen. Manchin Wouldn't Run Gun Ad Again
Back in October, we highlighted then-Gov. Joe Manchin's NRA-sponsored campaign ad, in which he took his gun and shot a hole through piece of paper labeled "Cap and Trade Bill." The Charleston Gazette reports that, asked if he would put out a similar ad in light of the tragedy in Tucson, Manchin replied, "I can't say that we would, I really can't." The shot was a metaphor, Manchin said Monday, symbolizing his opposition to cap-and-trade and his determination to work hard to make the changes in Wa...
Video: Thousands of Right Wing Christians Celebrate Jared Loughner's Murders
Wait, what I meant to say is that this video shows thousands of Muslims in Saudi Arabia celebrating Mumtaz Qadri who assassinated the Governor of Punjab, Salman Taseer, for opposing Pakistan's Blasphemy laws.
You cannot judge a society by the fact that it has murderers. All societies have murderers. But a society that celebrates its murderers says a lot about that society.
Thanks to The Sanity Inspector
And the reaction in Pakistan?

MSNBC's Contessa Brewer: 'People' Are Blaming 'Vitriolic Right-Wing Talkers' for Shooting
MSNBC's Contessa Brewer on Tuesday spread the blame for Saturday's spree shooting, singling out "vitriolic right-wing talkers and the Tea Party." Several groups seemed to be on Brewer's list, with the notable exception of Jared Loughner. He was only mentioned as a failure of the Mental Health system. Closing the 12pm hour of News Live, Brewer summarized, "We've been following the fallout from the Tucson shooting and there is a lot of blame to go around. People are ...
Gunman fired 31 times in Ariz. shooting
Investigators say 31 shell casings were recovered from the scene of Saturday's shooting. That means, they say, that Jared Loughner fired 31 times. They say he had a 30-round magazine on his Glock-19, plus one round in the chamber, for a total of 31 rounds on the weapon. Of the 31 rounds, 20 struck those present -- killing six and wounding 14. It's not entirely clear whether Loughner was able to put the second magazine into the Glock to continue shooting. An examination of the second magazine sho...

In the wake of Saturday's tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona - in which six were killed and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 13 others were injured - Sarah Palin has maintained a relatively low profile.
After expressing her "sincere condolences" to the shooting's Victims and their families via Facebook on Saturday, Palin has made only one other statement to the press: an e-mail to Glenn Beck, which ...

Tucson shooting victim shielded wife from hail of bullets
TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - An elderly man who died using his body to shield his wife from a withering hail of bullets when a gunman sprayed a crowd in Tucson on Saturday, was remembered for his heroics on Tuesday.
Dorwan Stoddard, a 76-year-old retired Construction Worker, died saving his wife, Mavanelle, by covering her on the ground as the gunmen shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others at a street corner congressional outreach event.
"We are just blessed that he is walking with the Lord n...
Mental illness expert: Yes, ask whether political climate was a trigger for shooter
Dr. Marvin Swartz, a Professor of psychiatry and leading expert in Mental Illness, told Greg Sargent today that yes, the nation's political climate should be considered in the Jared Lee Loughner case.
"It's a reasonable question to ask," Dr. Marvin Swartz, a psychiatry Professor at Duke University who specializes in how environment impacts the behavior of the mentally ill, said in an interview this morning. "The nature of someone's delusions is effected by culture. It's a reasonable line of inq...
How the Zamudio story could have gone
HOW THE ZAMUDIO STORY COULD HAVE GONE.... In the wake of shooting tragedies, it's fairly common for Conservatives to call for more Gun Ownership -- the idea being there would be less violence if more of the public were armed.
This argument has already been presented in Arizona, where there's already a new measure pending to arm politicians and their aides. One state lawmaker said, "When everyone is carrying a firearm, nobody is going to be a Victim."
There's ample evidence that reality isn't t...

Whats Missing
I am tired of talking about the Arizona shooting. The left has done its best to try to pin it on the right. We know now that not only was Loughner of the left before he went nuts, but that, in fact, Loughner was nuts. His actions can be pinned on neither the left nor the right. All of the media handwringing over the “tone” in the country and the “Extremist Rhetoric” distracts from and implies that the tone and rhetoric had something to do with Jared Loughner’s rampa...
BERKELEY CHANCELLOR TIES LOUGHNER TO IMMIGRATION REFORM: There are two possible explanations:
BERKELEY CHANCELLOR TIES LOUGHNER TO Immigration Reform:
There are two possible explanations:
1. Birgeneau believes there is evidence that Jared Loughner was somehow connected to anti-immigration Activism. If so, Birgeneau simply hasn’t been following the news about which he has used the authority of his office to opine, or has been on the inside of a bubble that ...

Is Jared Lee Loughner linked to Tea Party, conservatives, or libertarians? (Gabrielle Giffords shooting)
Q. Is Jared Lee Loughner linked to the Tea Party, conservative, or Libertarian movements?
A. At this time, there's no indication that Loughner was a member of any organized political movement. He was a registered independent who hadn't voted in 2010 (link). The DHS claim that he was linked to the white racial separatist group AmRen is false. Given what we know now, the chances of him being welcomed as a member of any group outside the far fringe is remote [1]. Given his history, the chances th...

King, Bloomberg Team Up to Call for New Gun Control Law
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Rep. Pete King, one of the few pro-gun control Republicans in the House of Representatives, today introduced new Legislation that would make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official.
Bloomberg, a staunch Gun Control advocate, and Rep. King appeared together at a Press Conference in New York City just days after a gunman killed six people and wounded Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords during a political event in Tuscon. More than a dozen people...
Jared Lee Loughner and the Rise of Anti-Social Media
"Hello, my name is Jared Lee Loughner. This video is my introduction to you! My favorite activity is conscience dreaming; the greatest inspiration for my political business information. Some of you don't dream -- sadly."
Thus begins a haunting video screed posted to the YouTube channel of the young man who stands accused of unleashing the barrage of deadly gunfire at a political meet-and-greet this past weekend in Tucson. Stunning and senseless, the digital context in which Loughner's "dream" ...
Did Sheriff Dupnik know about Jared Loughner?
The sheriff has been editorializing and politicizing the event since he took the podium to report on the incident. His blaming of radio personalities and Bloggers is a pre-emptive strike because Mr. Dupnik knows this tragedy lays at his feet and his office. Six people died on his watch and he could have prevented it. He needs to step up and start apologizing to the families of the Victims instead of spinning this event to serve his own political agenda. Jared Loughner, pronounced by the Sheriff ...
