e was a pot head & into rock like Hendrix,The Doors, Anti-Flag. I haven't seen him in person since '07 in a sign language class...
left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy.

had a lot of friends until he got alcohol poisoning in '06, & dropped out of school. Mainly loner very philosophical.
He became very reclusive. haven't seen him since '07. Then, he was left wing.

This is a circus. Good Morning America just called me.



Here's his myspace prior top removal and other info:

In one of the last messages left this morning on his MySpace page, which has already been deleted, Loughner wrote, simply, "Goodbye friends ... Please don't be mad at me."

sort of looks like a young John Woods, (who also sounds "discombobulated" when saying campus carry of concealed handguns by licensees will increase suicides) ...

John Woods et al 2010 for Grad Students
Abstract: I'm running for UT Student Government. Vote for me.

Here are my issues: CAMPUS SAFETY. That's pretty much it. I went to Virginia Tech, and graduated three weeks after the shooting. I firmly believe that the shooting could have been prevented, and that Student Government can play a role in preventing tragedy here at UT.



maybe my glasses need cleaning.

I heard one AZ State Senator state, on Fox, that he was an Afghan vet and that the Tea Party was very aggressive against Congresswoman Giffords. On Democratic Underground and Huffington Post, the implication has been that this guy was a Tea Party "radical".

If you read the Twitter feed (posted by RPB), she was taking classes with him in 2007. He's 22. He would have been 19 then, so I seriously doubt he ever served in the military, much less a tour in Afghanistan. And he certainly wasn't a tea partier. If anything, he'd be more aligned with the communist organizations that are constantly stirring up trouble in this country.

Pretty good summary of the shooter info I was trying to post here

I'm not sure how to quote "Tweets" lol
they fly by and I kinda doubt they are copyrighted but

: Tried to join the Army but "never made it past the urinalysis"

A guy that knew him on TV said "POTHEAD" what did y'all talk about when you did ... "Drugs"

Shooter calls himself a "conscious dreamer" (I guess that means pothead)

Verified here: This 2-page abc report is good (see both pages) http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/jared-lee ... 164&page=2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Laughner was Boy Blue on the Daily Kos. They have "diary" pages. The Hillbuzz site captured the material posted at the Daily Kos as it was being deleted. They want to whitewash their site right now.

Boy Blue doesn't sound like Jared Lee Loughner (with an O)

Mainly
Different writing style, literacy level ... Youtubes full of errors "then" instead of "than" grammar errors like "this would not have happen" but boy blue sounds intelligent and uses longer sentences ... unlike Hemingway's shorter ones and Jared's on YouTube.

Blue Boy in one place claims he is 27, divorced ... another place was going to fly somewhere and marry another man ''' got laid off from work Dec 2009 ...wife left in Jan 2010 so he shot himself in the mouth ... is anti-gun too ... spent a long time hospitalized, still partial paralysis ...


Both sound wacko, but I doubt it's the same writer/person
It's "possible" I guess for a pothead, but just way too different

Kos was one of the first to blame the Tea Party for the attack. Looks like he's eating some major crow now. And flushing all the evidence down the memory hole just like a good leftist does. Can't have the truth interfering with the story line.

I was gone all day and just started hearing about this. It will be interesting to see the fallout on the Sunday shows, particularly from the gun control side. I haven't heard where he got the gun from, or what caliber it was. It seems if he shot that many people, he must have reloaded at least once unless it was a very high capacity small caliber weapon. Has anyone heard any details of the gun?
