I'll have to update to add 9-11 truther. With that addition, he is very similar to Joe Stack (crashed plane into IRS building) and the Holocaust museum shooter.

Fox News was able to interview a former girlfriend of Jared Loughner, the man awaiting trial for the weekend’s shooting outside a Tuscon, Arizona Safeway which left six people dead and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords with a gunshot wound to the head. She shed some light on the background of one of the most talked about men in the country, and offered some information that seemed to be at odds with other things we’re learning and speculating about the 22-year-old shooter.
Ashley Figueroa spoke briefly about Loughner’s (Former? Current? Is it even a factor in his crime?) drug use, sharing that he had smoked marijuana and took hallucinogenic mushrooms. She also shared that he had a strained relationship with his parents, who evidently did not want her visiting their home. In fact, she believes his problems stem from his difficult relationship to his parents.
But perhaps the bit of information that will cause the biggest stir is her revelation that she doesn’t believe Loughner is mentally ill, as some in the media have begun to suggest. Instead, Figueroa believes that her ex-boyfriend is “faking” being insane in order to avoid prison time. The question, then, is whether her statement – and those of other people who profess to know Loughner – will have any impact on his trial. Additionally – contrary to other accounts of Loughner – Figueroa shared that he was extremely intelligent and argumentative, often debating with other about politics and going on long rants about “the government.” That said, Figueroa admits that, when she last saw Loughner three or four months ago, he was a “different person” than the boy she dated as a teen.
See the video, from Fox News:
I might be more convinced if he hadn't gunned down 20 people.
girlfriend... i thought he was a fag.
Doesn’t the girlfriend normally doing the faking?
The difference is jail time vs a hospital.
Ya think?
“Doesn’t the girlfriend normally doing the faking?”
Ummmmmmmmmm ... no, never mind.
I don’t think we can hoenstly respect any info from anyone who could have been romantically linked to this gov-intell mind controlled psy-op cow.
She dated him when they were 15. And stated that he scared her. Oh and she’s a lefty.
OMG I just realized he could guarantee probation and no prison time if he just went on TV and said Sarah Palin told him to do it..
And probably a lucrative talk show circuit with all the lib media.
So to this woman gunning down 20 people in a Safeway is sane? Me thinks they ought to check her out too!
Ok fine. Then why did he do it?
I'll have to update to add 9-11 truther. With that addition, he is very similar to Joe Stack (crashed plane into IRS building) and the Holocaust museum shooter.
I don’t care if he is insane or not. Some folks just need killin and we’ve hit the jackpot with this clown.
OK—time for the media to move on from this girlfriend. Giving her press will just encourage her to speculate more about things she knows nothing about.
I’d say that she’s not qualified to determine Loughner’s insanity or lack thereof.
Also need to add “Busted for for Anti Christian graffiti”
Yeah, really. Guy’s got me convinced he’s a loon. Nobody pulls off a mugshot like that unless they’re full-on mental.
A lot of this is starting to sound suspicious to me. Obvious signs of severe mental problems but yet he still gets approved to buy a gun? Then of course there is the website connection between him, some other person and the Congresswoman which isn’t yet being reported by the MSM. WND has a story out on it though.
Is ‘shadow group’ stalking Giffords?
Radical Marxists from Spain mimic Loughner’s identity

It suspiciously looks as if there is more to this. Possibly a hit.
Foxnews, ex-girlfriend: I condider the sources and take it with a grain of salt!
