Jared Loughner: Focus on delusions, not politics
(01-09) 21:10 PST San Francisco -- Posting strange and paranoid messages on the Internet and fixating on the end of the world, accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner appeared to be more driven by a delusional mind than a real interest in politics, Mental Health experts said Sunday.
"I doubt people who say this is about politics have a good understanding of Mental Illness," said Dr. Bob Dolgoff, medical director of Alta Bates Summit Medical Center's Mental Health division. "It could be Conspiracy th...

'Reload!' vs. 'Bring a gun!': Unfortunate word choices but not the blame
Since the Arizona shooting which left 6 dead and 14 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords , all one hears is blame, blame, blame. Can’t we just say that the alleged shooter, Jared Lee Loughner , had problems beyond the scope of anyone’s total understanding? Why is it so necessary for blame to be placed on one politician or another, or on one political Party or another? Analysis, if not over-analysis, of the situation makes one blame Sarah Palin and &...

DHS uses Giffords shooting to push loose borders political agenda (Jared Lee Loughner, American Renaissance)
The Department of Homeland Security and various media sources are using the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords by Jared Lee Loughner as an opportunity to try to smear opponents of illegal Immigration, focusing on the higher-level white racial separatist group American Renaissance (DHS memo at [1], report at [2]). Not only do they get that group's ideas wrong, but they mislead about what was in Loughner's videos and what appears to have been on his MySpace page.

Shooter profile: Increasingly alienated from society
DESPITE initial ideas of gunman Jared Lee Loughner as Timothy Mcveigh-style far-right supporter, the picture emerging of the 22-year-old shows little in the way of a coherent political ideology. In fact, Loughner seems to have been suffering from mental problems.
He had recently posted on his MySpace page a photograph of a United States history textbook, on top of which he had placed a Handgun. He prepared a series of Internet videos filled with rambling statements on topics including the gold...

Adding Insult to Tragedy

Pinging is currently not allowed. The Shooting Spree that left six dead and fourteen wounded in Arizona on Saturday was a horrible tragedy involving a very unstable young man. It’s clear that twenty-two year old Jared Loughner, who was allegedly attempting to assassinate Arizona representative Gabriel...
Citizens
I was about to use the headline "Heroes," but I changed my mind. Politics Daily: Speaking at a Sunday Press Conference in Tucson, Dupnik said that the suspect, Jared Lee Loughner, was attempting to change magazines after his initial volley of shots when "a woman went up and grabbed the magazine and tore it away from him while he was trying to put another magazine in." Loughner then succeeded in loading another magazine but that "fortunately the spring and the magazine failed" and two other civil...
That Took a Little Longer Than I Expected
They will never learn. Never understand.
I have the same gun Loughner used in his attack. A Glock 19. A very common high quality pistol. I also have high capacity mags. It's standard mags come with 15 rounds. Standard.
Same gun, different people. The evil is not in the gun but in the hand that holds it.
And Gabrielle Giffords, herself a gun owner and (from what I've read) a Second Amendment supporter, would herself probably be against this.
The ability to buy a weapon that fires hundreds of bu...
Profiles of the Arizona shooting victims
The bullets did not discriminate. Sprayed from the barrel of a 9mm Glock semiautomatic pistol by a man whose actions may never make sense, they killed six people and wounded 14 more.
Those whose lives ended violently Saturday were participating in a basic democratic exercise. They had come to meet the woman who represents them in Washington, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. A Democrat who had won her third term by a sliver, Giffords was the intended target of the shooter's attack, authorities said.
