Apparently he lives (with parents) a few blocks from the shopping center where this took place.
According to the sheriff (who I would trust on nothing- but this is going to be documented) the evidence indicates Giffords was definitely the target.
This kid is cleasrly so troubled and ill that no matter what he thought his politics were- this isn’t a classic political assassination (attempt)- from the right or even the left.
Gretawire had an interesting speculation though- she thinks it’s anti-semiticism; Congresswoman Giffords is jewish.
For what it's worth, "vitriol" in the mouth of a Leftwingtard always means "anything a Republican might say".
If you say "I love babies", Leftwingtards will call that "vitriol".
Now, for the other term ~ it's "Jewish". Something like 8 people got shot, 2 of them now reported as dead, 1 is Jewish and so is the Congresswoman. I usually think it's quite normal to examine any apparent assassination attempt against Jewish person to see if there is a "Jewish angle" to the event.
Apparently "Jared" may also be Jewish ~ or a whole bunch of people think he is ~ but so far that hasn't been relevant to the discussion ~ until you get to the fact the Congresswoman "may be Jewish". There's a lot of consternation on that part because her mother isn't Jewish! (NOTE: That actually doesn't matter when it comes to questions of anti-semitic attacks on people with Jewish forebears because anti-semites don't really care).
What we do have is that a lady who believed herself to be Jewish and who is a member of Congress was SHOT by a Leftwing nutcase! She voted for someone other than Nancy Pelosi for Minority Leader.
There are Democrats who don't want any Jews in Congress to stray from the reservation ~ and earlier last year the most famous "reservation jumper", now Majority Leader Eric Cantor, was subjected to a couple of violent acts including a bullet fired into his campaign office.
I think there's some meat in the anti-semitic angle and I do hope they can find the folks who used this kid to shoot that member of Congress.
