This site has a screen shot of a Facebook page of a Jared Laughner. If it’s real, it’s not good. But it may not be real and may not be the same pervert.

That's a fake Facebook page for him. It was created today. But you watch every stupid Democrat will blab it like it's gospel.

Are we sure Boy Blue is this guy...

He has a vision problem and he hit 20 people killing several?

And he gave Gifford thousands of dollars....and still lives with his parents...at age 22...not sure that connects together...

Thank you very much, dear thouworm!

Yes, indeed, there's always FR YAHOO GROUPS to go for update information and there's jellybean's site for visiting with FReepers too!

A seriously deranged rant. He says he is a Nihilist, and seems to be against Anarchists, and “illegal teachers, pigs, and politicians...” Also does not “trust in God”, which perhaps is a reference to our monetary system.

I heard a spokesman from the hospital. He said she had one bullet hole through her skull. No information about which direction it entered. So, probably was not a shotgun. A report from his high school indicated he may have dropped out before graduating. The wouldn’t say more—confidentiality.

Jared Lee Loughner reportedly met with Congresswoman Giffords before tragic shooting

Bookmark for later reference. FR has a better compilation of news than any other source I have found as usual.

Watching KOLD coverage —

Bomb squad at her office for “suspicious package.” Closing the intersection at Pima and Swan.

Watched Fox for a minute; some guy started a rant against Sarah Palin and was cut immediately.

Looks like jellybean's site is getting overwhelmed also...can't get any response....

Maybe the FreeRepublic problem is just huge volume....everybody has learned that Freepers do a Great Job!!!!

Apparently he was only a couple of feet from her when he did it, he had no money and was separated/divorced from his wife - so maybe that’s why he was living with his parents.

Apparently he gave her all of his severance money and couldn’t get money from the state because he was given a severance from his job after his injury.

Bomb squad is appropriate!

Jared Loeffler comes from a long line of Eco-terrorists and saotteurs. His father, Jack Loeffler, and Edward Abbey were close friends, and are well known in the Tucson area.

TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - "Goodbye friends, don't be mad at me."

That was the last post from 22-year-old Jared Loughner, the suspect in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. At least six people were killed and 13 others injured.

Search warrants were served in the Tucson area, including the home of Loughner's parents in the 7700 bock of North Soledad Avenue, Pima County Sheriff's department spokesman Rick Kastigar said.

Deputies recovered a pistol with an extended handle, Kastigar added.

Further information on what was seized by deputies was not immediately available.

Loughner's YouTube channel has three videos detailing his opinion on government failures.

The latest video, posted dated Dec. 15, includes comments on "English literacy, dreaming and a new moral 'currency'."

"In conclusion, it is my ambition  - is for informing literate dreamers about a new currency. In a few days, you'll know I am conscience dreaming. Thank you!" says the final slide of a video called "Hello."

Loughner had been studying at Pima Community College.

He either withdrew from his classes last semester or was expelled. There is a code of conduct hold on his registration, the Tucson Sentinel reports.

Here's a look at Loughner's MySpace page, which has been restricted from public view.

This sheriff is a jerk. Blaming the “level of anger and vitriol” present in Arizona for causing a “deranged person” to take such an action.

So peaceful free speech and activism by those against where our country is headed is supposed to be suppressed to prevent this?? According to the sheriff, it is.

azcentral:  Dupnik: 'He probably would have shot more people if he wasn't tackled by two people'

[CedarDave]

Why the difference in spelling??

Also, the sheriff refused to release his name.
